"You're under arrest for multiple homicide in the first degree" The officer said and her eyes wide opened, the gang looked at each other shocked and Sikowitz's mouth dropped.
"This is a mistake" Jade affirmed but they ignored her and started handcuffing her.
"Officer please, the cuffs are not necessary" Lane said.
"It's procedure" One of them said as he checked Jade's bag and grabbed the gun. "You don't have a permit for this" He informed.
"I…" Jade said nervously as the cops put her gun in a plastic bag. "I can explain"
"Explain it to a judge" He responded and she looked at him scared.
"You have the right to remain silent, everything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney" The other officer started telling her all her rights as she processed what was happening but then she fixed her eyes on Beck and her friends.
"You did it, uh? You really did it" Jade said angrily and they looked at her nervously. "You're gonna regret this I swear"
"No, it wasn't us" Tori said scared, she didn't want Jade to take revenge against them.
"I don't believe you and I didn't do it, you're all a bunch of traitors" Jade said to her friends. "Let go of me" she demanded.
"Let's go" The man ordered and made her walk to the door.
"I wanna call my dad" Jade said.
"You will when we get to the station" The cop responded and took her away.
"This is it, Jade is going to jail" Andre said sadly. "I can't believe this is happening"
"But it is" Beck said and sighed, he didn't feel happy to know she would end up in jail but he could not justify her new murders because those people were innocents, especially the woman, the girl and the old man.
Jade was put in the back of a police car and she just kept thinking about what she would do to get out of the problem, she didn't even know if they were arresting her for the murder of her rapists or the murder of John and Ricky's family but she was terrified of going to prison and she felt betrayed by her friends, she was sure they'd told the police.
After twenty minutes of driving, the car pulled over. "Are we there?" Jade asked because it looked like a normal street without any police station.
"Almost" One of them said and smiled. "This is where you switch cars, sweetheart" He informed and she could feel something was off, one of them got out of the car and made her walk out as well but didn't take the cuffs off.
"What's happening? I don't understand" Jade said as the man made her walk to a black car that was waiting a few feet away.
"You will soon" The man said and a second later Jade saw Scar in the driver's seat of the car she was walking towards so she felt her blood going cold and stopped.
"No, no…stop" Jade said and tried to walk back but the man pushed her forward and Scar got out of the car to greet her.
"Hey Lily or should I say, Jade" Scar said and stroked her cheek so her eyes filled with tears as she trembled.
"HELP! HEEEEEELP!" Jade started screaming as loud as she could but the men only laughed and the man covered her mouth.
"No one suspected a thing, they didn't even check the batches" He commented and laughed so Scar smiled.
"I told you, a piece of cake!" He responded. "Change the plates and return the car to our friend, tell him I'll send the check soon…He has nothing to worry about, I'm sure no one looked at the car, the cops who took miss West are unknown and no one is going to call her parents for a while so we have time, her friends will not know what happened to her because they expected the arrest, this was so much easier than I thought it would be"
"It really was, boss, a genius plan" The man said and smirked but then Jade bit him so Scar laughed.
"HEEEEEELP!" Jade screamed to the top of her lungs.
"Keep her quiet" Scar ordered and the man simply put a sock in her mouth and then tied her up, they put her in the back seat and the boss drove away while the fake cops returned the car to the actual officer. Jade spent the whole way crying and panicking as Scar laughed and played music, when they arrived to his house she saw the gates and then he stopped, he turned to the back and smiled while she stared at him terrified.
"Welcome home, baby" He said and knocked her out.
Hours later Jade opened her eyes and realized she was tied to a chair in a dark room, she could barely see but there were no windows and there was a door on the ceiling so she knew she was in some kind of basement; she looked around confused trying to see more but then the lights turned on and Scar smiled. "Good morning, little doll" He said.
"What do you want? Haven't you done enough?" Jade asked him angrily trying to hide her fear.
"You have been very bad, I know you killed those five bastards…Your two minions told me all the dirty details about it, you have guts I'll give you that" He commented and laughed.
"You killed John and Ricky and their family to blame it on me" She said.
"How smart" He said sarcastically. "It was nothing personal, the lady was actually nice…she even offered me some bread before I killed them" He commented and she stared at him angrily. "You are quite creative, cooking Erik was a very nice touch" He said and laughed as he thought about it.
"What do you want now? Are you gonna kill me?" Jade asked.
"It would be fair, you killed five of my friends, sweetie, that wasn't nice…" Scar said. "The night we met we only had some fun and you enjoyed it too, don't lie"
"You make me sick" She responded disgusted. "If you want to kill me go ahead, I don't care"
"Oh no, it's not that simple baby…if I'd wanted that, I would have just gone to your house and done it" Scar commented. "I killed your minions only because I needed your friends to think it had been you, that way this could happen…I could take you from school, no suspicions, no problems and no one will ever know what happened to you" He explained and she looked at him nervously.
"What are you gonna do to me?" Jade asked fearfully.
"That night I told you I would take you home but you escaped, now I'm just keeping my word" He said and smiled. "You're going to stay here for the rest of your life, you're my property now"
"Go to hell, I'd rather die" She responded angrily and he laughed.
"I'm not asking your opinion, honey" Scar said cynically and walked towards her. "If you had been lucky enough to catch me, you would have been very cruel to me, I know that but I'm not as bad as you are, I'm gonna be nice, you'll see all the parties we are gonna have from now on, they will bring you good memories I promise" He affirmed as he stroked her head and she felt the fear going through her body.
"Just kill me please" Jade begged as a tear streamed down her face, she couldn't stand the idea of being raped again.
"I wonder if your parents have already noticed your absence, it's almost midnight…I guess that by tomorrow everyone will know about the false arrest but it'll be too late" Scar said and chuckled satisfied. "Goodnight baby, I'll see you tomorrow"
Jade's parents had gone to bed early and they were used to Jade arriving late because she sometimes stayed with Beck so they weren't worried, however next morning they woke up and realized she hadn't come home. "Did she tell you anything?" Mr. West asked.
"No and she hasn't replied to my texts" Evelyn commented.
"That's strange, she doesn't stay out without telling us" He said.
"It's already school time so maybe she left" She said. "But no, no because her bed is made, she didn't arrive last night"
"Let's call her boyfriend" He suggested and she grabbed the phone to call Beck, who was in school with his friends but when he saw Jade's house calling he decided to pick up, he wanted to know about her situation.
"Hey Beck, it's Evelyn…Jade's mom" She said.
"Hello" He said politely.
"I'm sorry to bother you but Jade won't pick up the phone, could you let me speak to her please?" Evelyn asked and Beck got confused.
"Jade is not here" He said.
"Do you know if she stayed with Tori or Cat? She didn't come home last night" Evelyn said.
"You don't know then…" Beck said disconcertedly.
"Know what?" Mr. West asked.
"Jade was arrested yesterday morning" He informed and Jade's parents looked at each other shocked.
"What? What the hell are you talking about?" Evelyn asked confused.
"She was accused of murdering five people at a house" Beck informed. "She didn't call you? We heard her demanding it when they took her"
"No, she didn't" Mr. West said. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"Jade and I broke up and I thought you knew" Beck explained. "But I don't know, maybe you didn't pick up and they didn't let her call again"
"No, this is not right…they should've let her, whoever arrested her is going to hear from me" Mr. West affirmed. "Goodbye Beck" He said and hung up.
"What happened?" Tori asked.
"They didn't know about the arrest, weird right?" He responded and they thought about it. "Her parents are angry, they'll probably go to the station right now"
"I hope they can help her" Tori said. "I mean, she deserves prison but…she is our friend, I don't know…I feel bad, maybe she needs other kind of help, I don't think she is evil, I think she is sick, what happened to her wasn't just anything and I'm sure it changed the way her mind works and how she feels"
"But she wanted to kill us" Robbie commented.
"But she wouldn't have done it" Tori said.
"I don't know, she was threatening us with the gun when we confronted her…she seemed pretty serious to me" Andre commented.
"I know but she said she was trying to scare us, she ended up putting the gun down and apologized" Tori said. "I just don't want to believe she would hurt us"
"I don't think she would" Cat said sincerely. "I think she was scared, she didn't want to go to prison"
"Also, if she'd wanted to hurt us she would have done it the day we found her killing those men, why would she wait? No one would have known it was her" Tori commented. "Remember she punished that man for scaring Cat, she must care about us to some extent, I don't think she would actually hurt us"
"Me neither, even after everything I don't think she'd do it but it's preferable not to risk it, I don't think she's mentally stable and we don't know how she might react in certain situations" Beck commented sadly. "I'll call her parents later to see how everything's going for her, maybe we can testify and help her, she can't be out on the street after what she did to that family but I don't want her in prison, I mean…it's what she deserves because she knew what she was doing, she did it to erase witnesses of her crimes but maybe a clinic or something would be better because Tori is right, the horror Jade lived drove her to this"
"Yeah, I hope they can do that for her" Tori said and sighed sadly, they couldn't believe they had reached that point but it was happening, Jade had become a serial killer and they just hoped she would be rendered mentally ill, they preferred to think she was sick rather than evil.
Jade's parents indeed went to the police station and approached one of the officers in a desk. "How can I help you?" She asked nicely.
"We are here to see Jade West, I'm her lawyer...she was arrested yesterday" Mr. West informed and the woman nodded as she checked the records but then she looked at the screen confused.
"Jade West you said right?" She asked.
"Yes" Evelyn responded.
"I'm sorry but we haven't issued any arrest warrant against her, maybe you're mistaking her for someone else" The lady commented.
"No, that's a mistake, she was arrested yesterday for murder…she is my daughter" Mr. West said. "Look again please" He demanded and the lady did.
"Nothing, look!" She showed them the screen and they looked at each other. "She hasn't been arrested, you got the wrong information"
"Then where the hell is she?" He asked.
"What's happening?" A man asked as he approached them.
"They say their daughter was arrested yesterday but we don't have any record of her, there's never been an arrest warrant for her" The lady explained and the captain looked at them confused.
"Are you sure she was arrested?" He questioned.
"That's what her friends told us, she was taken from her school, Hollywood Arts" Evelyn responded.
"Come with me, I think we need to talk to those friends and the school authorities" The captain said. "Vega, come with us…we are going to your daughter's school, I think you might find this case interesting" He said to Tori's father, who was working in his desk.
"Of course" He said and they all went to Hollywood Arts, when they arrived the gang was in the hallway so they approached them.
"Dad?" Tori asked confused.
"Hey honey" He said.
"Tori is your daughter?" Evelyn asked surprised and he nodded so she smiled. "Nice coincidence"
"What are you doing here?" Beck asked.
"We need to talk to you about Jade's arrest" Mr. Vega said. "What do you remember? How did it happen?"
"What do you mean? It was normal…they came in, called her name and then cuffed her and told her all the rights thing and took her away" Tori explained. "Why are you asking us that?"
"How were they dressed?" The captain asked.
"Like cops, like you dad, normal but they had batches and guns, just like you do" Tori said.
"I don't understand, what's happening?" Beck asked.
"There was never a warrant to arrest Jade issued by the LAPD" Mr. Vega said and they looked at him shocked.
"But then why did they take her? They said they had a warrant" Andre commented. "Lane must have it"
"Let's see him" The captain said and they went to Lane's office.
"How can I help you?" Lane asked nicely.
"I'm the LAPD captain and I'd like to see the arrest warrant you received yesterday" He demanded and Lane nodded as he handed him the paper.
"Is Jade okay? I'm terribly sorry this happened, they didn't tell me a lot, they just mentioned a multiple homicide in an apartment downtown" Lane commented as the captain read.
"This looks exactly like an arrest warrant but it's fake, we didn't send it and the judge who signed it doesn't exist" The captain informed and the gang looked at each other confused.
"What? Are you serious?" Lane asked shocked.
"How can that be? Who signed it then?" Tori asked disconcertedly.
"Not a judge" Her father responded.
"Tell me the name of the officers" The captain demanded and Lane thought about it.
"It was Rogers and…Anderson, they were tall, fair skin, dark hair, one had blue eyes, they looked average" Lane said and Mr. Vega and the captain looked at each other worriedly.
"We don't have any officers by those names in the squad" The captain informed.
"What the hell does that mean? They made the arrest, they must exist!" Evelyn affirmed angrily and the captain took a small breath.
"It means you were fooled" He said to Lane. "Jade wasn't arrested, she was kidnapped"
