Middle of Nowhere. • j.b [CURRENTLY EDITING]

Remember.

Jason approaches the rest of the crew while Leti stays in the car. Too much information wasn't exchanged between them during the ride. 

"What happened?" Mackenzie asked, shrugging her shoulders. 

"Wasn't the Mafia. Danny hired them to keep an eye on Leti but she says she knows who took him."

"Now she says something?" Mike scoffs, folding his arms across his chest.

"Danny told these guys something about silver bullets and that's how she knew."

"Silver bullets? What?" Ricky says, making a confused face.

"You don't mean silver bullets as in No Face, do you?" Heather asks.

"No face? As in the No-facers? Those lame ass dudes who wear bandanas and shit." Ryan laughs loudly, shaking his head.

"This one kid, Josh. He had a problem with Danny. One of the main reasons was because he thought he wasn't good enough for one good thing in his life; her." Heather eyes land on the foggy window.

*

The crew went back to the house. The spot light was on Leti now. Jason sat across from her as the rest of the crew hovers around with different ideas in their heads. 

"Pretend we aren't here." Mike whispers in her ear.

"Who's Josh, Leti?" Jason asks her.

She rubs her hands together and bit her nail a little. Her level of anxiety was rising. 

"Uh, he was a friend. Him and Danny didn't get along so well. I'm sure you remember Josh, Heather. I found out Josh was planning to uh, you know." 

He looked at her confused, "What?"

"Josh thought he could win by having sex with me. I didn't find that out until after it happened."

"Oh god, I can't believe you guys don't remember this." Heather joins in.

THE PAST

Danny's phone vibrates. He looks at the caller ID to see Leti's picture and her name. He slides the Ignore option and the crew cocks their guns and meet Danny in the back yard.

"Who's the target?" Jason asks.

"This ass named Josh; tall, brown hair. I'll handle him just clear everyone else out." The crew enters the house, sneaking around.

Heather pulls Danny back, "Think twice about this."

"I did. He's going to die for what he did to my baby sis."

"So we invade his home and just shoot up the place?"

"Yup."

"Danny! Fuck man, he got away!" Ricky yelled.

"Shit! Thanks a lot, Heather. You haven't even fucking met her, you don't know what she's been through and she's only got me to worry about. Just, leave me the fuck alone, okay?"

PRESENT

"How long ago was this?" Ricky asks.

"2 years ago." Leti says quickly, looking up at him. "Josh's mom died a few months after that and he moved away. The No Facers left like they had nothing left to live for, but silver bullets?" 

She pauses, " I remember Danny mentioning this guy. He said he was tall, dark....scary. He had one black eye and one blue. Uh, Danny did some work for him and it was a job gone wrong. He got jumped and I blamed you for it," She sighs as she slowly begins to cry. Ricky rubs her back softly, "If anyone is behind this and wants to do something horrible to my brother, it's that man."

"Did he have a name?"

"No. But he did have a daughter who died last year in a car crash. Her name was Amelia Morte. She was my best friend."
