One Bullet
"Thanks Gina"
"Don't sweat it gurl, this queen here knows the truth"
Everyone in the room was still whispering in confusion. Where they making things up?
Rosa looked across the room to see Jake on the floor with his legs close to his chest and arms hugging them tight. His head hung low. She decides to walk towards him, and sort things out
"Jake. What's wrong?"
He lifted his head up, looking deep into Rosa's eyes.
"What the hell is true!?"
"Jake, I may not be correct but I know for sure Amy did not write that letter. If you know her well, you should at least have hope and believe this!! Get your head in the game Jake!"
"Then who Rosa!? Who did it!!?"
"It's not a hard guess, clearly that bitch"
Jake pounced to his feet, taking a massive gulp of his drink, wobbling slightly.
"Listen here Rosa, stop blaming all this shit on her! For once be fucking smart and look down other paths! Who else would do it!?"
"Are you seriously kidding me!? Open your eyes Jake! The pattern is clear,Who was last with Amy when she was drunk? Who found the letter? TAYLOR! If you don't see this, then how are you a detective?"
"You take that back!"
Jake started to get closer to Rosa, his breath smelling of pure alcohol.
"I'll take it back when you finally have the courage and loyalty to admit that that criminal bitch is the main attraction to this. But for now, don't come an inch near me until I hear the day you finally smell the coffee and realise that she is the cause of this."
Rosa then turned around making her way out of the bar. Gina ahead slowly clapped her hands in sarcasm, then finally making her way out to catch Rosa. Jake then smashed his bottle on the floor, causing commotion in the bar. Everyone just looked at him with concern and fright.
"Jake, let's go" said Charles trying to guide him out of the bar.
"Get off me!"
"No. Let's go!" he pushed harder but Jake just pushed him. Charles slammed onto the floor with shock, how could his best friend do that. He wasn't him, he was a different person. It wasn't the person Charles knew.
"I mean it! Stay off me!"
Jake then made his way to the bar
"One scotch with rocks please!"
Terry then grabbed him by the arm, trailing him out of the bar while he squirmed.
"Not on my watch, your drunk enough! Look at what you've created!"
Jake snatched his arm back, then looking on the ground with shame.
"You threw your best friend on the ground. I say you take a week off work and go home till you sort your head out"
"I don't need time off! I need the truth!"
"We all do Jake!! We are all in the same situation your living in!! But we keep moving forward, cause we want to find her. We want to find answers. But you Jake, are holding us back... Now go home!!"
"Fine. If you don't need me I quit."
He pulled his badge off and threw it onto the dark damp floor.
"problem fixed."
"This isn't necessary Jake"
"Im sure you'll do better without me. Good luck on the case"
He walked away into the dark alone. Terry lent over and picked up the badge, whipping the access dirt off it. He sighed and placed it into his pocket and went back into the bar. On his way it, he barged into Taylor rushing her way out.
"And where are you off to?"
"To talk to Jake."
"let me make this clear. We are all watching you."
Taylor silently gulped, Terry then moved for her to slowly pass.
"Jake! Wait up"
He wobbled around to see taylor running after him.
"What do you want?"
"I want to make sure you get home safely..."
"I Dont need your help. I don't need anyone"
"listen Jake. I couldn't help to hear what Rosa was saying... Do.. Do you believe her?"
Taylor looked into jakes eyes, she made her eyes tear up and glimmering in the moonlight. He looked at them, feeling bad.
"Tay, I don't know."
"I knew it.. You think I'm a monster"
She then started to cry. Jake then panicked, hating to see her cry. Every time she did, it reminded him of the time he broke up with her and feeling guilty every second he saw her heart broken face in them hallways.
"No no no! Tay of course your not... They just don't understand."
"What do you mean they don't understand!? I will never do such a thing. You belive me! Don't you!!?"
"Tell me the truth Taylor."
"Jakey I am."
He stood there in silence, looking at the girl in front with tears strolling down her face. She stared at him like a puppy winning for comfort. He couldn't resist.
"I believe you"
"Thank you.."
She swung her arms around him, then did the most criminal grin behind his back.
"Can..can you walk me home?" said jake
"I would love too."
She placed her arm around his waist, holding the drunk friend for support. She laughed inside on how love struck and blind he was. Jake was finally going to be her prise possession and Amy won't be present in the counrty to stop a thing.
And the Oscar goes to me...

After minutes of Amy running down the halls, she finally found a exit. She bursted outside feeling the cold air hit her face. The adrenaline of pure excitement and relief of her being free was satisfactory. She stood there appreciating the wind whistle in her ears and letting the moon glow in her face. She then let her emotions go, making warm tears slip down her face.
"I'm.. I'm free"
Amy thought she would never see daylight again. Every second in that room she was losing energy and hope for her friends to rescue her. Expecially Jake. She then snapped back to reality.
Wait. Where am I?
She then turned around to see a old torn building in front. She then ran around the corner to greet adisgruntled sign with a few letters spelling.
"Mental asylum"
She was off puted of the thought she was held captive in a old abandoned mental asylum all alone. She shivered, felling it run through her back. Amy then looked around to see the area. All she can see was nothing but heaps of old grass.
"Alright,Okay... Its okay."
She then jumped to the sound of something in one of the bushes ahead. She quickly placed the thick black mask on and hid round the corner of the building. Her eyes burned on the Bush, not knowing what was behind. A little bunny hoped out, nose twitching.
Amy sighed of relief, pulling herself up and looking around. She then spotted a black car.
"Bingo!"
She made her way to the key of escaping. Amy pulled at the door handle. Locked.
"Knew it..."
Looking in she saw nothing but a gun sitting on the passenger seat. Amy then looked around to find anything sharp enough to break the window. A rock was sitting on the dusty floor that caught Amy's attention.
"Rock it is"
She picked up the unshaped rock and chucked it at the window. Making It smash into little shards. Amy got in the car searching for the keys, but they were no where to be seen. The only option she had was to hot wire it. Of course Gina taught her but she couldn't quite remember, but there is no harm in trying.
Amy pulled out the wires below and began to hot wire it.
"Come on! Come onn!"
Her hands were shaking and heart was racing. This was her only way out. Suddenly the car jumped, the lights came on and the engine roared.
"Ah HA! YES!" she squealed
Amy pulled off the mask then looked in the tiny mirror. Her face was covered in scratches and her nose was bruised, dry blood was still slightly on her face and mascara caked under her eyes. She touched her face and wincing at the pain. She put back on the mask not wanting to see it again. Amy then pushed her foot on the pedal and drove to find a road hopefully leading home.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Hey, Rosa wait up!"
Gina ran after Rosa who was walking home. Rosa paused to her voice and turned around to greet Gina out of breath.
"You okay there?"
"Can we sit down. I literally had to run for your ass."
"I know. I'm surprised"
They both sat down on a curb, while Gina was catching her breath.
"What did you want me for?"
"I saw you leaving the bar kinda mad so I clearly had to check on you,plus I didn't want to stay in that hell hole."
"Agreed, how did you find me?"
Gina pulled out her phone showing Rosa what was on the screen.
"Snap maps"
"Of course you only find me through your phone"
"Hey don't diss my second babes!"
"Second? Who's your first, your charger?"
"No stupid. You"
Rosa blushed and looked at her. Gina then rolled her eyes.
"Come on, I couldn't of not made that any clear. Now kiss me you big bafoon"
Gina grabbed Rosa's jacket and pulled her forward. Kissing her tight. Rosa was firstly in shock but then was in cloud nine. Rosa and Gina finally parted
"waw" said rosa
"Yep. I was hoping you will say that."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Amy finally found a road on her way back to home.
Ahead was the buildings shining with the tiny lights. Making it look so relaxing and warm to finally go home, to see her loved ones and the precinct. Except Jake, she was dredding of seeing his face reminding her of that moment on the roof top. Their secret roof top.. But to be spoiled by Taylor. She was the demon within to wreck her life. To leave a scar in the back of her head to never forget. She was the main problem and Amy was going to kill her for everything
She looked at the weapon next to her, considering of taking a life.
Taylors life.
But was it wrong? She did held her captive and half starved her. She did want to kill her. Just for Jake.
Amy grew with anger thinking of the horrible things that woman did.
"Let's make her pay."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Taylor and Jake where walking through the park alone side by side. This time jake had his arm wrapped around her waist, he was fairly sober.
The park was dark and quiet, the moon light was splitting through the tiny gaps in the trees that shined on the grass making the tiny raindrops on the grass sparkle like tiny stars. It was all perfect for the two.
"So, what ever happened to me taking you home?" Taylor said softly
"I thought this way would be nice.."
"It is nice.."
They walked in silence for a while. Enjoying being in each others atmosphere. Just like old times, and Taylor was sucking it all up. She finally had Jake back. But she didn't have everything just yet...
Jake then suddenly stopped and turned to Taylor.
"Tay, can I say something"
"Of course jakey"
"Listen i-"
A black figure grabbed Taylor by the neck, spinning her round and hitting her in the face. Jake was startled
"The SHADOW!"
He pulled out his gun and pointed it at the figure who was beating up Taylor.
"Not on my fucking watch, your not taking her."
He pointed his gun. Finger placed on the trigger.
BANG
Jake shot the unknown figure just below the intestines and ran towards Taylor picking her up.
"Tay! Are you okay!?"
She wipped the blood off her lip.
"Yeah.. I'm good."
Jake then placed her on the bench and then walked towards the figure on the floor, holding the wound while blood poured out of it.
"Now to see who this bastard is."
He slowly pulled of the mask, finally going to find out the unidentified man. The mask slipped off. Jake looked at the face in front of him, his body froze and his heart was pounding.
"AMY!!!!!"
Suddenly a sharp pain shot through behind his back. He turned around to see Taylor holding a needle.
"Taylor!!? What are you doing!!"
" Night night jakey!"
He tried to grab out his phone but she already lifted it out of his pocket and crushed it with her high heel. He looked at Amy on the floor as she was struggling to breath, her eyes were looking at his and were filled with tears. Jake was scared for his life. He was wrong this entire time, in front was Amy.
And she was truly alive..
But not for long.
