The Kids Aren't Alright

✰ Chapter Twenty ✰

IM LAZY BUT ITS THIRD PERSON FOR THIS WHOLE CHAPTER LOL

The distant sirens shouted over every other sounds of the alley way. Fog surrounded all sides of the alley, making a walk through it a bit unsettling. Everything looked like a visual representation of depression; grey and dark clouds swirled the sky, the air was cold, and all or any objects looked torn up.

A confident, slightly nervous Adagio walked through the alley way. Interesting place to meet someone, Adagio thought. Well it sure was interesting, the place looked like somewhere you'd hide bodies or even straight up murder someone. Of course, this didn't bother Adagio. An entitled hot bitch such as herself, who may have a soft spot rather she wants to admit it or not, would never let her guard down. She's smart.

A few more steps and Adagio found herself in front of the killer. She examined the killer's outfit, everything they wore was black.

"You've done everything I've asked?" the person in all black said, starting the conversation.

"Yes, I had my girls to take care of it." Adagio responded.

"You see, that is not what I asked." They shoved Adagio against the brick wall, scraping her elbow against it. "I asked you to take care of it."

She looked down at the killer's hand as her shirt collar was in their clutch. "If you want to make out, you can just ask. I mean no need to get so close." she laughed.

The person was intimidated by her, they grabbed a hold onto her neck slightly choking her pushing her harder against the wall. No matter how hard they pushed, she kept a big smile on her face. It was as if she wasn't scared, she wasn't trembling like most would in this situation. It made the killer even angrier.

"I don't want to make out with you, I don't even like you. I like someone else."

"Aww, well you're awfully close. I didn't know choking was a kink of yours, hmm." she said, looking them up and down as a form of distraction.

"I'm serious. I will kill you right here and now." they tightened their grip on her neck.

"You always say that but you never do. It seems I know you more than yourself. Ah, you strive for perfection." Adagio playfully titled her head, making them loosen their grip. No one could resist a flirtatious Adagio, it was one of her many skills. She took the time to harshly rip the killer's hands off her neck and pushed them against the wall. "Ah, so I do know you more than you know yourself?" she laughed.

"How so?" they groaned.

"I can read you like an open book and it's so hilarious that just because you're rich you can get away with things like these. Well, whoever your family is.. you really think they'd help you get away with murder? Are you mentally okay? You lack a brain because all these threats get you no where. You obviously have no one to 'help you get away' with these things. What rich family would put their money on the line for a social reject like you."

"Social reject? Is that what you really think of me, darling?"

"Obviously rejection is your friend. I don't know much about your life but it's obvious that jealousy are one of the reasons behind your murdering breakdowns." "And the darling phrase, is that a thing rich people say? I've already heard four different people say that today."

"Yes, if only you were rich. How's it feel being at the bottom of the food chain?"

"I'm not poor but I'm not rich, simply in the middle. I've got my girls with me and together we're a team, even though at times I'd like to kill both of them." she explained, chuckling for a moment. The killer remained silent, Adagio's tight grip on them kept them quiet. Of course she wasn't going to kill them, she's smart. She'll use this situation to her advantages, basically blackmail.
