Oh, Marcel!

That Wasn't The Plan

~Harry~

"Emily? What did the say?" I questioned as I sped towards the blinking red dot on the tracker.

"They said they will send out the police right now. There isn't much they can do, they have nothing to go on right now." Emily says, her voice cracking at the end.

"Okay, Em. Will you be okay there?" I worried about her safety, but I didn't want to bring her along with me now.

"I'll be fine. I wish you were here though."

"I wish I was too, but I don't want you hurt." She sighs into the phone.

"You're amazing." I say. I want to just come out and say 'I Love You'. But I think it's way too soon. Tradegy brings people closer. Hopefully nothing happens to me. "I have to go, babe."

"Okay. Be safe Harry. Bye."

"Bye." I hang up the phone and toss it on the seat next to me.

The red dot on the tracker is moving.

What the hell?

A swift right and its speeding away from me. It can't be Marcel driving that, can it? I've got to make sure. The dot soon comes to a halt just a little ways away. I slow my vehicle and let it coast up to where Marcel's car comes into view. It's parked outside of Johnny's house, the driver's door wide open.

I pull the car to the curb and wait in my car. There doesn't seem to be any movement so I figure maybe I should go check it out.

Johnny comes sprinting out of his house, the door slamming shut behind him.

"Shit." I say and duck down hoping he didn't see me. Why does he have Marcel's car.

The engine roars to life and he squeals off down the street. I start my car and pursue him.

Keeping my distance, I follow the red taillights down alleys and around corners. We finally turn and stay on a dark road, HoneySuckle Bridge.

I cut my lights so he can't see that he is being followed. It's hard to see, but I can follow the red light pretty well. The car comes to a sudden halt, the lights illuminating a figure leaning against the bridge. Johnny cuts the engine, but the lights stay on as he gets out of the car. I roll down my window so I can hear the two.

"Marcel?" Johnny questions walking closer to the figure.

"Nah. They're gone." He says. "It's me. Your pal."

"What?" Johnny says walking closer.

"I let them go."

"What the hell, Jimmy!" Johnny screams. "That wasn't the plan!"

"Don't care about a plan anymore. You should have known I wouldn't go through." Jimmy says pulling something from his pocket.

Johnny doesn't seem to notice. He is too busy pacing back and forth now. His hands running over and over his blond hair.

"What am I going to do now?" He whirls around and Jimmy quickly hides the object behind his back and leans against the bridge. Johnny walks over to him. "I should kill you."

"Kill me? Your best asset? Your only friend in this all? Would you really do that?" Jimmy asks smugly.

I wonder where Marcel and Ember are if they aren't here. I slowly open my car door. The lights quickly snap on and I hit the button to turn them off. Jimmy's head turns toward the flash, but it quickly turns away.

Johnny looks over. "What the hell are you looking at?" He ignores Jimmy's questions.

"Nothing."

"Whatever." He draws what seems to be a gun out of his pocket and plays with it in his hands.

He can't kill Jimmy. He can't. I won't let him kill someone.

"I can't believe you shot him." Jimmy says bringing one arm up front and playing with the hem of his jaket.

"I should have killed him. But I went to plan and left it for you to do. You seemed to want to kill him so it would have been perfect for them to untie you. Then suddenly you pull out your knife and just stab the life out of both of them."

"Johnny, I'm not a killer like you. Shouldn't you know that? The only reason I'm here is so you won't tell! So you won't pin it all on me!"

"You knew that she had to go just as much as I did! So does my stepmom! You ruined it now! I can't kill her either because Marcel and Ember know and they've gotten away! I have to catch them and kill them before they spill!" Johnny screams his hands failing about with the gun still in them. I notice Jimmy slightly flinches, but doesn't move.

"No. You won't be going anywhere." Jimmy says, his voice dark and deep as he pulls his other arm out from behind his back and jabs at Johnny's chest. Johnny reacts by screaming out and dropping the gun. It clatters to the ground.

Jimmy pulls out the pocket knife and that too falls to the ground, I can see the dark blood it's now covered in. The stab musn't have been fatal because Johnny grabbed for the gun but Jimmy managed to kick it away.

"You asshole!" Johnny yells and starts to tackle Jimmy forgetting about his bleeding injury. Jimmy fights back, but even if Johnny is injured, he is still bigger and stronger.

Should I help Jimmy? Or should I get out of here.

Well Jimmy knows what happened to Marcel and Ember.

I've got to help him to find them.

I slam the car door shut and it doesn't seem to bother the fighting boys as I jog over, ready for some answers.
