Slasher | Scream 5

Chapter Eight

Carmen walked home the back way, just incase anyone was out walking, she didn't want anyone to see her after what she just did. She stopped in her tracks when she heard sirens, she ran the back way towards her house, went inside and washed her hands. She got her jacket and ran outside, she was jogging to Wes' house, once again.
She had to play it cool, she was upset, so it wouldn't be to hard. She ran to the caution tape and saw Sam getting out of her car, she ran over to her. "What the hell happened?" Sam asked her, concern growing in her voice.
"Oh my god, I think- I think they were attacked", Sam covered her mouth with one hand and ran to a police officer. "Excuse me, what happened, is- is the son dead?" The officer looked at her and nodded, "I'm sorry for your loss". He said, Sam had tears brewing in her eyes, when all of a sudden, a van rolled up, and who stepped out? Gale weathers.
She ran up to Carmen and Sam to check on them, "oh- are you, ok? You guys seem tensed, did you know the sheriff?" You both turned around, they knew her, but didn't say anything. "Yeah, she didn't really like us though, we knew her son". "Oh, we'll I am so sorry", "I'm Carmen Loomis, this is Sam Carpenter". Gale looked at Carmen for a second, "oh no, I'm his sister, born a year after he died". Gale nodded her head, "I do apologize for him, I was told he was on the psychotic side", "yeah, that'd be him". Gale said, semi interested. She looked around, one person caught her attention. Dewey. "I'm- sorry I have to go, have a nice day". She ran up to Dewey, "Dewey Riley!" He looked back and spotted her, "Gale? What the hell are you doing back?"
Gale slapped his shoulder "you told me, the killer was back in a text? A text?!" She was upset, not pissed, but upset. "I'm sorry, but after you left, I didn't know how to call you just to say 'hey Gale the killers back, don't come here", he started, "which actually, is what I said via message, I can't believe you came!" He seemed even more annoyed. Carmen and Sam lost interest and ignored them "hey, I'm gonna call Richie real quick, I'll be back". Then she took her phone out, walking away.
Carmen nodded and turned away, then she spotted an officer. Shit, no. She ran up to the officer and yelled, "who the hell is at the hospital?!" That caught Sam's attention, "I'll call you back Richie, and ran up to Carmen.
"Who's watching Tara?!" Sam's eyes widened and she ran to her car, Carmen following. Dewey spotted them and asked where they were going. "The hospital, Tara's in trouble".
Gale was busy and Dewey had a gut feeling, he ran up to them and got in the back seat. "Well then, let's go".
Sam nodded and Carmen quickly did a U - Turn, she made a deal with the devil, if they hurt Tara, she'd kill them just like she did Wes.
"We have to get there, fast, step on it". And so she did, she had the pedal on the floor. She ran 5 red lights, surprisingly, not getting pulled over, but she didn't stop, even with Dewey complaining. "You do realize we have to live, to save her, right?" He asked, "just hold on", they were at least a block away. "I'm gonna call Richie and see if he's at the hospital", Sam said, taking her phone out. The call was answered 5 seconds after. "Richie! Richie are you at the hospital?" The voice on the other line was not Richie's. "Sorry, he can't come to the phone right now", Sam's face went pale, "where the fuck is he you bastard".
There was a chuckle on the other line, "now now, we don't have to use such foul language, put Carmen on the phone". Carmen looked at Sam, "how would you know she's here?" Carmen looked terrified, but grabbed the phone before he could answer. "What the fuck do you want?",  "I'm giving you an option, you can either save Tara or Richie, your choice, I'll give you 5 minutes". And that was all she needed, they were 2 minutes from the hospital, she quickly muted herself. "I have an idea, I'll distract him enough to where we can get in the hospital, you'll understand the rest".
She unmuted and spoke "what if I do neither?", "well then I'll just have to choose for you".
Carmen gulped, she couldn't let Tara die. "Please don't do this, please". She pleaded, wanting to save her best friend, since she couldn't save Wes, she had to save Tara.
"Your choice, one or the other, you can't save both". "Maybe I can, maybe I can't, how the fuck would you know?", she could hear his smirk, "because I'm always one step ahead, you can't trick me", Carmen smiled looked at Dewey and nodded, "not this time", suddenly the elevator doors open and Dewey shot 5 times, ghost face got scared and ran off. "I'll get Richie", he said, running to help him up.
"Holy shit, Tara, are you ok?" Tara nodded while Carmen and Sam helped her up, she limped to the Elevator, behind them was Richie and Dewey. "Let's get out of here before"- Dewey started, but was unable to finish while ghost face jumped on him, tacking him to the ground, Carmen turned quickly, "No!" She screamed. But Richie ran up to her and grabbed her, holding her back.
Dewey and the masked man were wrestling on the floor, "not today, ghost face", his knife got stuck in the floor as Dewey fought him back, once he was off, Dewey shot them 4 times, knocking them into the display case.
He ran to the elevator, moving everyone in.
"Wait", he said , Richie looked at him, confused, "what?". "You have to shoot them in the head, they always come back". "Who cares?!" Carmen screamed. "I do", Dewey said.
But before the door could close, Carmen stopped it, she grabbed Dewey and hugged him tight. "Thank you, really, you helped us even when you didn't have too". Dewey smiled, "I always do", and then the door shut.

He walked down the hall, re loading his gun with as many bullets as he could. When he reached the figure, he pointed his gun to their head, but as he was about to pull the trigger, his phone buzzing interrupted him. He looked away for a second, going to answer it. That gave ghost face the perfect time to jump up at stab him in the gut. Dewey grunted from surprise, Ghost face then stabbed him in the back, causing him greater pain. "Yes, today", he said, in that stupid fucking voice.
Dewey couldn't hold on anymore, his phone started to ring again, this time, he looked to the side and there it was, caller ID, Gale Weathers.
"It's at honor", ghost face said, and then they pulled both knives out, standing over his body, they couldn't help but laugh.
