Passionate [Jay]

V

Today was the big day. The contest.

Blond was set, hidden in the electrical under the big screen to expose Mirando when the time was right. Silver was disguised within the marching band and float holders. You and Red were on the top floor of one of the near buildings; prepping to shoot the balloons as a distraction when you got the signal. Jay was working on finding Mija and apologizing and explaining the new plan.

"You think there'll work?" You ask, hissing after stabbing yourself slightly with a nail. You were stuffing nails into potatoes to shoot. "They better." Red chuckled softly.

After a few minutes, you could hear Dr. Johnny's squeaky voice from below, followed by cheers. "Hurry. Set up." Red mumbled to you as you both stuffed the potatoes into the makeshift weapon.

You both watched from the window. Lucy coming out to welcome Mija who watched the tent, with Okja inside, wheel agonizingly slow to the stage. You watched as Mija held out a fruit. Suddenly, Okja came out with a howl, clumsily walking onto stage and knocking Mija off.

You watched the video you had put together project onto the screen; Lucy's pleads to shut it off loud over the speakers. "Go time." Red smirked, lining it up while you lit the match in your hand. "Off we go." You snicker, lighting the fuse and hurrying out with Red.

You both pushed through the crowd to try and make it to the stage to help calm Okja and take her to the truck; once and for all.

You heard sirens, the two of you pausing. Red stood tall, "Black Chalk!" She screamed before making her way back to the stage. "Blond! Let's move!" Silver shouted as you all regrouped at the back of the stage. "Go, go, go!" He yelled, crawling out of the space he was in.

You all ran into an alley, side by side. "Where's the truck?!" Silver asked. "Up to the right!" You answered. "More Black Chalk! Hurry!" Jay huffed, leading you all around a corner.

You looked over your shoulder as you ran, the Black Chalk officers beating the others who anonymously joined you. You watched as Silver ran at one but it was unsuccessful as the officer simply tossed him against the wall and kept charging. Blond ran at him next, tackling him to the ground.

"Move! Move!" You heard blond scream before getting knocked down. "Help me with this!" Red shouted at you. You ran to her side, helping her tip over a can full of metal scraps as one of the trucks drove by.

Jay, Mija and Okja made it to the truck but it was short lived as you watched the get ahold of Okja and dragging the three out.

Two Black Chalk officers got ahold of both you and Red. You thrashed and squirmed as they tried to cuff you. Your watched as more attacked Jay.

"Jay!" You shriek, the adrenaline pumping through your body as you elbowed the one officer attempting to cuff you; knocking him off balance and letting you go.

You sprinted as fast as you could, grabbing a metal bar as you ran to Jay's aid. You swung at one of them and went for the other until they grabbed your arms, flinging you onto the ground. You attempted to get up but it was no use as they beat and kicked the two of you on the ground.

You heard beeping and shouting, faintly seeing the feet of the officers running off. "Come on!" Jay huffed, picking you up to your feet. You barely kept up as he grabbed both you and Mija, resting against the wall as the truck reversed towards the Black Chalk officers.

When the coast was clear, Jay helped you all into the truck. He laid Mija down and slumped himself into the passenger seat while you sat against the truck wall.

You groaned softly, holding your side. "You guys ok?" A familiar voice asked. "K..." Jay chuckled weakly, "What are you doing?"

You couldn't see what K showed Jay. Pain radiated all through your body. "Okja...we need to hurry." Jay mumbled.

It went dark.
