I'm just about through with my Fri Fant! Thank God! There's only one more chapter if I decide not to add anything else. The eighth chapter is long, but this one's really short. Don't hold your breath for a good ending.
Chapter 7: Confusion
'Ugh... Can we just get this over with...? Where the heck is he?' Peter thinks.
'I can hear you, you know? Stop being so negative. We're gonna get out of here. You're not gonna die.' I think back to him.
'I didn't even know we could still talk to each other like this. Why hasn't it been working for the last couple years?' I get cut off by the door swinging open and banging against the wall. Julius strides in with his gun, his psychopathic smile on his face.
'I don't know. I guess we have to be close to each other.'
'That would make sense.'
'Yup. So what--'
"Ya got one more chance, kid. I could still not shoot him if you wanna tell me everything you know about the plans." he says, then gets a more serious look on his face.
"Well, I'm never giving you the blueprints. I guess you're outa luck." I say calmly.
"I'm sorry to hear th--" he drops to the ground, unexpectedly, blood dripping from his back
To my surprise, standing behind him is Joseph Briggs, holding...my knife. I knew I was missing something...
"Sup?" he asks. "Sorry you had to deal with my subordinate. He can be an idiot, can't he?" Subordinate? Julius works-- well worked -- for Joseph? D-did I miss something here?
"What are you talking about? You said you weren't a criminal." I say, like an idiot. He obviously is.
"Uh, people lie." Joseph says, chuckling a little. He runs the flat part of the blade of the pocket knife across his tongue, licking the blood off. I think I'm gonna throw up. This guy is like Julius times ten, psycho-wise.
"You know this guy?" Peter asks me.
"I...uh..." I stammer.
"Oh, he helped me hide form the police." Joseph says, grinning. I feel like a complete moron.
'You're an idiot.' Peter thinks to me.
'Yeah. I know...' I think back.
"So, where did Julius leave off? Killing one of you, I'm sure. I honestly thought that I had already killed you, so seeing you yesterday was kind of a surprise to me." Joseph says, gesturing to me.
"You? I thought it was Julius who--"
"Ugh, did he take credit again? That is so like him." Joseph says. Are you kidding me? So it WAS him?! I'm such an idiot!! I should've killed him when I had the chance!! "And then there's the other one, I told them to just leave you in the back room to die. I just didn't wanna waste a bullet on you. Oh, well. Nothing that can't be solved right now." He pries the gun from Julius's grip and points it back and forth between us. "Who wants to go first?"
