"WE'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER THREE HOURS, BLONDIE. . ." Mickey let out a snarky huff, he was in simple terms just aggravated from sitting in the back of cop car in silence despite counting every red car he has seen to annoy Kirby.

Kirby who wasn't responding, "Are you deaf woman?" Mickey raised his eyebrow, and just attempting to file her up, "You got anything to eat?" He deadpanned.

Kirby gritted her teeth, speaking to him in curiosity, "Where'd you dump, Quinn Kirsch body?" She questioned him.

Mickey shrugged his shoulders, cheerily responding to her question, "A dumpster, I've already told you this. Do you not listen? Dewey Riley would've listened." He deadpanned.

The thing is that she already knew where his body was ultimately dumped at, she had asked Santiago Herrera to just retrieve it for her, so she can ultimately do what she's planning to do — Some people in her job owe her in order to make this real, and no one will check any damn documents.

Kirby nodded her head, "You're not what I expected you to be. . ." Mickey had raised his eyebrow not really understanding what she meant, "Reyna would speak about you, and they were all good things nothing bad. You were able to tell from her eyes, she was so in love with you. . . She said that Minnie given you hope, and also a chance to be good —" A smile formed on her face just speaking about Reyna who was a good person, "I don't really condone you escaping prison, but I'd do the same shit if my daughter was in danger." She didn't have a kid, but understood where he was coming from, it's why she was going to do this, and it wasn't for him.

This was for Minnie.

Mickey happened so to just glance outside his window, just watching cars passing by, two red cars. He thought. he didn't really want her to witness the tear that had trickled down his eye at the mention of his deceased lover, the only woman he's ever loved — He was just forever grateful that he had a daughter, and he'd go to them ends of the earth to protect her from the dangers of the world, He couldn't lose her. It's her who's supposed to bury him when it's his time, and he'll make sure it remains that way.

Mickey who had responded not making eye contact with Kirby at all, speaking to her, "If you're fishing for a compliment from me you're not getting anything, Kirby Reeds. . ." He had simply huffed, narrowing his eyes at her, "You know Minnie cried for months when she found out that you left Woodsboro, and she didn't get a goodbye from you." He remembered Minnie had told him this when she was little, and the sad face she had, it was the last time he saw her until months later when she had returned from New York since Dewey and her didn't like it over there.

Kirby exhaled her breath, guilt settling in because it was true, "I felt guilty. . ." She had responded, "I'm the reason that Charlie Walker was responsible for Reyna Kayoko's death, and hurting Minnie, she was nine — I couldn't look at her knowing that I was somehow partially responsible, responsible that she lost her mom and the nightmares she had." She wiped a tear.

Mickey had shook his own head, "You cannot blame yourself for someone else's actions. . ." He had slowly said, "He chose his fate, and you had no clue. You were a teenager, naive but that's what a teenager is supposed to be, Kirby. Though, now you know to never trust the love interest or new characters." He retorted.

Kirby nodded her head, "Noted."

Of course, she'd take an advice from a killer, especially from one who had or has experience for himself, she had turned her car towards the abandoned parking lot — No one was around, it was just empty only partially dark and only one dim light.

Mickey raised his own eyebrow, "Are you going to kill me —" He cheerily smirked, "And, don't tell me you're going to hide my body, and let the maggots eat me. Kinky, Reeds." He had teased her.

Kirby scoffed at his response, "Don't be gross. You're not my type." She revealed.

Mickey took offense, "Rude. I'm everyone's type, go get yourself checked by a doctor, and then look at me, again." He smugly responded.

   A car pulled up, and parking right beside them as Kirby stepped out her vehicle, she had opened Mickey's side, speaking, "Out." She had calmly responded.

   Mickey was just completely confused until he seen Santiago who was coming out the other side, and opened up his trunk, a dead body inside, "I've got the body, but remind me, again about this little situation." He was referring to this entire thing that the woman set up.

   Mickey rambled, "What's going on?"

   Kirby had ultimately unhand-cuffed Mickey, and quickly heading on over towards the back truck, "You've ever faked a death?" She raised her eyebrow at him.

   Mickey shook his head in disbelief, arms crossing at this ridiculous shit, "No. And, how will this even work? I'm not a damn teenage girl, Reeds." He had exclaimed, "And, how will you pull this off?" He questioned, again.

   Kirby who tilted her head, "The car flipped, and it burnt up, I escaped just in time, but you didn't. . . So, your body had burnt up real bad, I'll make sure that when the DNA is taken, I'll swap it. To the world you'll be dead, but to us you're alive." She responded.

   Mickey's mouth widened in shock, as he had stumbled with his own words, "So. . . I can roam around in my own free will, and also visit my daughter?" He couldn't help, but somehow smile knowing that he can visit his kid.

   Santiago shook his head, "Not until this entire aftermath just dies down, I've made you some passports, you'll just have to change up your look." He responded.

   Kirby had nodded her own head, "Yup. So, help me put this dead body in the back of my car. I don't got all day." She waved her hands in the air.

Not a night that either one of them was even expecting, Kirby simply had asked Santiago a question, "I heard that Gale Weathers is pissed at you? Good luck." She snickered.

"Seriously, Mickey!?"

"What'd I do?"

────────────────────

"YOU'RE AWAKE!?" Minnie had quietly whispered, she noticed Chad flickering his eyes open, he was in surgery for over five hours, and she was getting nervous, "Let me get you some water." She kissed his forehead, as he was just adjusting his eyes.

Chad had gently spoken despite his voice being a bit raspy, "Are you two okay? No one, hurt you?" He was just simply questioning her since he didn't have the voice to speak earlier from his injuries.

Minnie was approaching back her boyfriend with the cup of water in her hand and a smile on her face, she gently had pushed the button to slightly make him sit up, placing the cup of water towards his lips, "Drink. . ." It was just like last year, he had chugged the cold water until he finished it, Jasmine had smiled at him before speaking, "And, we're okay. We weren't hurt, perhaps emotionally, but we're fine." She had interlocked her hand with his.

Chad slowly asking her, "What did you say about Tara shoving you back inside?" He had anxiously bit his bottom lip, he had sensed the discomfort in his girlfriend, "Did she put you and autumn in jeopardy?" His voice cracked.

Jasmine slowly nodded her head, she had tears rolling down her own eyes, voice cracking when she had spoken to him, "She pushed me inside like if I was nothing — Like if Autumn and I could've of died. . ." She attempted not to sob as she was speaking, "And, then Jodie. . . She kept making jabs on how'd she'd make sure that Tara would keep you nice and warm." Wiping her own tears, that just wouldn't stop trickling down.

   She knew exactly what Jodie meant — Tara having pity sex with her boyfriend, and she just hated the thought of hearing that, and it just wouldn't leave her ears.

   Chad felt tears of his trickling down his own eyes, he had given his girlfriends hand a small gentle squeeze, "Both are crazy — Well, one of them is now dead. . ." He had attempted to make a joke before he had spoken a bit serious to her because quite frankly he was already tired of Tara, "After I'm discharged from here, I don't ever want her near us. Especially, near Autumn and you. She's — She's stupid, and I had enough of her, and the shit she had pulled, and this one crossed the line, I could've lost autumn and you." He gritted his teeth, as his jaw was just clenching. He was furious.

   He didn't even want Tara near them at all. Especially, not near his little family.

   Jasmine had gently smiled down at him, and pressing a soft kiss on his lips before as she had spoken afterwards, "I've already told her that I don't want her near us, and to stop with her delusional dreams of getting with you. . ." She had slowly began before continuing, "She has no damn respect for either one of us, especially no boundaries." She huffed in annoyance.

   Chad had reassured her, smile on his face with love written all over his face when he was looking at Minnie, gently speaking to her, "I'm all yours, sweetheart. You already know that I want a future with you, you're the best thing to have entered my life —" He caressed her hand, as her cheeks flushed pink, "I've been so in love with you since we were little kids, and now in a couple months our daughter will be born, and who knows maybe give her siblings, later on." He lowly whistled, a grin appearing on his face when he seen her face expression.

   She had playfully rolled her own eyes, "I'm starting to think that you love impregnating me. . ." She teased him, he playfully stuck his own tongue out, "Acting like if we didn't plan Autumn." He teased her back.

   Jasmine had shook her head in simple amusement, "Ass." She playfully scoffed at him.

   "You love my ass," He teased her back before he had asked her for something, "Can I have a kiss? I'm in desperate need of one." He had given her puppy eyes.

   Jasmine grinned, "Of course!"

   She gently released his hand before placing her hands on his face cheeks, and pressing her lips on his — A smile appeared on their lips, as they deepened the kiss, the kiss had went on of for awhile until her phone rang, she gently had placed her forehead on his as they were just panting, and catching their breath.

   Chad pouted, "Do you have to get that? I still want to kiss you." He had played around with her hair, he didn't want to stop kissing her, he loves her lips.

   Jasmine given him a smile, "It'll be quick."

She had clicked answer, and wasn't ever expecting to hear his voice again, well until the trial except she was beyond surprised, "Can't get rid of me forever, Minnie." A genuine smile
appeared on her face.

Perhaps, beyond this extremely cruel world everyone somehow manages to get their happy ending, and she had the best ending despite it being twisted.

She was genuinely happy with her life.
