Enna's pov

While untold good news from me and corpse brews in the air, there's a dark cloud looming over the breakfast table.

"I'm thinking we drive out today to phone the police and get the fuck out of here." Tyler states, breaking the thick ice.

"I agree. We can use my car since I need to get some things from a shop anyway." I say, finishing up my breakfast last to everyone else.

"Yea, that'll help. Why don't you and Corpse go and we'll do the jobs you two do for you." Rachell nods.

"Okay well we'll go now since we're done eating, sound good babe?" I look over at him. He goes red and looks at me with shock in his beautiful eyes.

"Babe?" Sykkuno tilts his head.

"I knew they were together. I just knew!" Tyler claps in a triumphant manor.

"Let's not dote over that bullshit. We still have a murder here and we need help." Ein gets up and slams his hands on the table, making us all jump in surprise.

"Yea." I nod slowly, not wanting him to go off on me again. I stand up and walk up to my room which me and corpse share now anyway and pick up my keys from the nightstand.

I then pocket my phone, knowing we'll need it and before I can turn around, I feel hands on my waist that trail down to hug me. I then feel a kiss on my cheek.

"Cmon, we gotta get going." I look over my shoulder at corpse who's smiling brightly at me.

"I know. I'm still not over you calling me babe. It's cute." He chuckles.

"Okay babe." I laugh and wriggle out if his embrace, heading out of the room and towards the front door. Everyone had already dispersed to do their jobs.

Corpse and I make out way down the porch steps and towards the road where we parked the cars.

As we reach it, I notice something off about the other four cars next to mine. They seem lower.

"Are you joking?" Corpse walks ahead of me.

"What?" I jog to catch up. Then I notice exactly what he saw. The tires on all of the other cars were jaggedly slashed and punctured.

"Huh?!" I crouch by Corpses car and run my index finger along one of the slashes. This was thought through. These aren't simple key slashes like a heat of the moment thing, they're clean. They're knife slashes.

"Your car's still fine. Let's get to this shit." Corpse says, helping me up. I unlock my car and get into the drivers side. I shut the door and Corpse does the same. Once we're both belted up, I put the keys in the ignition and check my rear view before starting the.... Car.

The engine makes a splutter and the car doesn't start.

"The fuck?" I try again but nothing. I try another maybe 6 attempts but still no give.

"Let me check something." Corpse gets out of the car after unbuckling himself and opens the car bonet. I already know by the way he immediately closes it that something is wrong so I get out and shut my car door behind me. I walk round to his side and straight away, I notice the issue.

Parts from my car had been taken out and the oil tank was empty.

"Fuck fuck fuck!"  I cover my mouth and shut the bonnet myself not knowing what to make of this.

"Shit. Shit! We can't leave. We physically can't leave." Corpse runs a hand through his hair that I adore so much.

"And we'd die if we just tried walking that fucking 30 mile long road." I place my hands over my stomach as it begins to pulse in pain.

"It's fine. It's fine. We uhm... Shit." He looks at the other cars, presumably trying to see if they're the same as my car to maybe replace some parts.

"Let's just let the others know okay?" I nod, trying to keep a rational mind about things.

Corpse nods and cups my face.

"Listen to me, if worst ever comes to worst, you run away from everything, you take food ,you take water, you run." He whispers.

"I'd never survive running down there. No one would! Plus, how could I leave you? I can't leave you now I've just got something to live for!" I shake my head and reach up, cupping his face too.

He must have expected an answer better suited to his statement and just shuts me up with a kiss.

"Why are you two still here?! Get a move on, our jobs are done!" Ein calls out.

"Bad news! The Cars are fucked. The four others have their tires slashed and Enna's car is complete ripped up! There isn't the right parts in her engine!" Corpse yells back.

"FUCK!" Ein shakes his head and storms into the house to go tell the others of the news.

"Let's go." I take Corpse's hand and start walking.
