Slasher | Scream 5

Chapter Nine

The sirens were loud, but she couldn't hear them, Carmen fell down, crying. Her knees scratched against the he cement, she gave up Dewey's life, and for what? Tara? Sam?.. Chad?
Suddenly a hand reached for her shoulder, the figure sat next to her, she knew the smell, Chad. She leaned into him and started to cry harder. But then a door slammed close. Gale.
Shit, she's gonna be so upset, so hurt. Gale was running to the front while they were taking Dewey's body out of the hospital, Deja Vu?
But before she could reach the coroner van, Sam and Richie stopped her, holding her back as she fell to her knees, crying. Gale knew it was him, he didn't answer his phone and she knew. She sat on the hospital sofa, no emotion on her face, she had nothing expect for sadness.
Carmen was right across her with Chad sitting next to her as she laid on his shoulder. Then Sam walked over, she looked really apologetic, I mean, Carmen was too, but she couldn't speak, it was like she went mute. "I'm really sorry", she said, the only emotion on her face was sadness. "I didn't know him very well but he helped me", she said, again.
"That's why he's gone, he helped everyone he could, never stopped, I should have told him no, I shouldn't have argued with him".
The nurse from behind the desk called for Sam, "your sister is ready for visitors", Sam looked back, then back at Gale, who nodded and smiled. Suddenly the hospital door opened, "sid?" She asked, Sidney looked just as sad, walking over to her "I came as soon as I heard" then crashed into a hug with Gale, they hugged for a while then sat on the sofa, "let's go check on Tara, ok?" Chad said, he knew how she felt, she didn't have to say anything, just nodded. They got up and entered the hospital room with Sam. She sat on the bed with Tara as Carmen and Chad sat in chairs.
"I'm sorry, Tara", She looked at her sister, confused, "for what? You saved me". Sam smiled and looked at her, "I'm also the reason you were in that situation". Tara then looked at Carmen, who sat quiet, and speechless. "Thank you, Cece, I'm really sorry about Dewey, I know you were close in a way". Carmen smiled, " we were, and, even though my brother, and mom had tried killing him, I guess that's what pulled us closer". Tara didn't know about Billy, but she didn't react, she knew that Carmen would tell her about it later.
"So what do we do now?", looking back at Sam. "What any sane person would do in this situation, we're getting the fuck out of woods boro". Tara smirked and nodded. Before they could leave, Sidney looked at them and stood up, walking over to them.
"Samantha, right?" Sam stopped, "actually, you could call me Sam". She stopped pushing Tara who was in a wheelchair, Richie, Chad and Carmen stopped too. All staring at Sidney.
"Ok, I'm"- Sam stopped her, "I know who you are". Sidney took a deep breath and nodded. She looked at Tara, "I hope you're ok", She smiled briefly. "I'm sorry"- but before she could finish, Sidney spoke. "I know you're Billy's daughter, Sam".
"Uhm, we'll be in the car", Richie said, pushing Tara out, Chad followed, Leaving Sam and Carmen with Sidney. "So, what do you need?" Carmen asked. "You must be Carmen, his sister?" Carmen looked down and back up, then nodded. "I have been through this, more than anything" she started, we could always talk". Sam and Carmen looked at each other, but only Sam spoke. "Look, I appreciate it, but we're leaving". Then Sam pulled Carmen out, Sidney ran after them, Gale then ran after her as well. "Look, ok, I tried running too, it won't work, it follows you", she said, "that's your life, not ours, sorry". "Not so sure", Sid said, ignoring her comment. "What do you want?" Sam asked, already irritated. "Don't be so bitchy new girl this is the original you're speaking too", Gale said, finally catching up with her. "Look, he killed our friend, he killed yours, and I have reason to believe you may be next, now I want you to help us kill the bastard". Sam rolled her eyes, but Carmen was interested, she wanted to. "Hell no", Sam said, just as Carmen was about to agree. Dammit.
"He could hurt your sister again. And I have kids, I won't sleep till he is dead".
Richie rolled up, "let's get the fuck out of here", Sam jumped in, but before Carmen could, Sidney stopped her. "I saw the way you looked when we mentioned killing him, put this in the car, don't say a word about it though, ok?" Sidney slipped a device into her hand and she nodded, Carmen then jumped into the back seat with Chad & Tara. She bent down to "tie her shoes" and slipped it under the seat. "Well that was a horrible shot", Gale said, waving her hands in defeat, "I gave Carmen a tracker", "you what?" She asked. "I just, thought 'what would Gale weathers do?' Gale shrugged. "I'm gonna take that as a compliment".

20 minutes into the drive, Tara freaked, "shit, shit where is it?" Chad looked at her, "where is what?" She turned the light on, rummaging through her bag, "my inhaler". Sam looked back to Tara, "should we turn around", Richie looked unsatisfied, "fuck no", Sam then looked at him "she needs it, Richie", "we can go to Ambers, it's a block away". Sam looked at her and nodded, "what's the address", she asked. "1 2 3 no fucking way lane", Richie said, Scolding the idea, "fuck, Richie! She needs it, now drive". "Please" Tara Pleaded. "Fine, ok? What's the goddamn address?" Tara sat back and took a deep breath. Amber? Carmen thought. Could she? She pushed the thought back and laid back onto Chad's shoulder, 5 minutes later, they arrived.
