When we last left off: The bohos and Linda were pulled over by Officer Matt. DUN, DUN, DUN! What happens next? Read and find out! :-D
I own nothing The Almighty Larson owns it all, except the title and Matt. Those two things belong to i'llbeyourcoat and Gema227.
"Do you realize how fast you were just going?" Matt asked Angel.
Apparently not fast enough, Angel thought.
"OH MY GOD!" Maureen exclaimed. "MATT!"
"Maureen?" Matt said.
"Yeah! How ya been?"
"I've been alright. How 'bout you?"
"Great! What the hell happened to your nose?"
"Maureen, he's the enemy, remember?" Joanne told Maureen, quietly.
"Oh! Right." Only faintly hearing what Joanne had said and getting worried that at least one person in the van would call the police, Matt quickly thought of a plan. He walked around the van and looked down at the tires.
"I'm amazed at how fast you were going with that flat," he said. Angel got out of the car and stood beside him. None of the tires looked flat to her.
"What flat?" she asked. Just as she was about to turn toward Matt he grabbed her and held a gun (that he'd found in the glove compartment of the police car) to her head.
"Angel!" Mimi exclaimed, opening the door of the van and getting ready to jump out. The rest of the bohemians were also ready to spring into action.
"Consider your friend's life before you make any moves," Matt told them. They all froze and looked to each other, unsure of what to do. Matt was silently debating whether he should take another hostage.
I'm goin' to jail anyway so . . . what the hell? he thought. As he dragged Angel to the police car, the gun still held to her head, he called back to her frightened friends, "Go ahead and call the cops if you want your friend to die!"
"I've got sandwiches," Lisa said, coming into the extremely small room that Collins and Susie had been put in carrying a bag. "You wanna know what kind?"
"Who cares?" both Collins and Susie said.
"I guess when you've been held captive for days it doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's edible."
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Collins said. "As long as it's not meat, I'm good."
"They're all peanut butter and jelly."
"Yay!" Susie exclaimed. As they feasted on their sandwiches, a strange smell filled the air.
"What is that?" Collins asked, holding his nose. Susie did the same.
"They're getting rid of the bodies," Lisa explained. "That's why I came in here."
"What are they doin'? Burnin' 'em?"
"Yes actually." The door of the tiny room opened and a very familiar person was thrown into it. Collins' eyes widened as the person fell to the ground.
"Angel!" he exclaimed, running to her and helping her up. They looked into each others eyes for a long moment before sharing a deep, loving kiss. The kiss melted all of Collins' fears away. He didn't want it to end. Lack of air eventually broke it. "Baby-" Another kiss stopped him from saying anything more.
"Honey, I'm so glad you're alive," Angel said, stroking Collins' cheek.
"Baby, what're you doin' here?" Collins asked her.
"That Matt guy-"
"Did he hurt you?" Collins interrupted.
"No, honey. He held a gun to my head, but other than that, nothing." Collins felt the urge to leave the room and break Matt's neck, but he nodded instead as Susie tugged on his shirt.
"Oh!" Collins said. "Angel, this is Susie."
"Well, aren't you a little cutie-pie?"
"Thank you," Susie said, smiling. Collins then picked her up and she giggled. "Collins said when we get outta here he was gonna find me some parents."
"That's still a promise," Collins told her, making her smile.
"Is she an orphan?" Angel asked. Collins nodded. He then looked to Lisa.
"Lisa, would you like to meet Angel?" he asked. Lisa walked over to Angel and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you," she said.
"You too," Angel replied. The door suddenly opened again and Alexander stood in the doorway.
"Bad news," he said as Collins put Susie back on the floor. "I'm going to have to kill you."
"All of us?" Collins asked.
"No, just your lover." Angel gasped and Collins pushed her behind him as Matt appeared next to Alexander with a switchblade in his hand.
"Over my dead body."
"Sounds like a nice idea," Matt said. Collins glared at him.
"Why exactly do you have to kill Angel?" Lisa asked.
"Becau-" Alexander started.
"If he lets the fairy live, we all go to jail," Matt interrupted. "So, let's get this over with." He started coming toward Collins with the switchblade to get to Angel. Collins stopped him.
"If you even think about touchin' her, I'll rip your damn head off and put back on backwards so you can watch me kickin' your ass!" he yelled.
"Oh for the love of God," Alexander said, taking a gun from his pocket and aiming it at Collins. "If you want to live, move three steps to the left."
"You're not killin' her." Collins was getting more furious by the minute.
"Fine. I'll just have to kill you both then."
"NO!" Susie screamed. She jumped in front of the gun as Alexander pulled the trigger. Angel, Lisa, and, especially, Collins watched in horror as her limp body fell to the floor.
I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH ANYBODY SAYS THEY KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN! I KNOW YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!
