Reign
I walk through the front door of the house and get attacked by two large animals. "Hi, babies!" I rub Princeton and Dukes heads. I've missed them so much.
Jamila had two dobermans left behind so I decided Chase could look after them for a while.
"To what do I owe this pleasure?" Chase says in his forced German accent. I roll my eyes and go straight to his liquor cellar. "So not speaking, got it." I walk to his basement a.k.a his laboratory. "You can't drink in here. Strict rules apply."
I chug down the glass before I speak. "I need you to stop making OASIS."
"No can do. It's making me too much money."
"What?! You sold another one?!" He nods confusingly. "To who?"
"Uh. Can you put down the glass first?" I sit the glass on his kitchen counter. "Kozlovs." I chuck the glass his way and he ducks. "What the fuck, Aubrei?"
"Are you out of your fucking mind?!" I grab the closest thing near me and chuck it at him. "How many did you make?" I jack him up by his collar.
"Only four. The other three are there." He points to what looks like a cooling rack. I drop him and walk directly to the substances. Grabbing all of them, I pour them down the drain and Chase groans. "Come on Aubrei, those took months to make." He whines.
"I told you to stop when we were in Detroit." I walk closer to him. "Maybe I should just kill your for not listening."
"My sister would never forgive you." He taunts.
"Oh trust me she'd understand." I say. "What was the efficiency rate on those?"
"I don't know. But i'm guessing about 67%"
"Damnit Chase, I told you not to make anymore." I rub my temples. "Do you want the same drug that got your sister killed, in the streets?"
"No, I just-." It goes quiet before he speaks again. "I miss her."
I sigh. "Me too."
Sonya never really spoke about Chase. The few things she did say was that he was smart and was a good kid.
He clears his throat and changes the subject. "So what did you come over for? Am I finally about to get lucky?"
"Pshh. Please. I came over because Luca wants you dead." He yelps very high pitched.
"Wh-What?! What did I do?!"
"The drug. And i'm going to kill you for the USB you got taken away." I fold my arms.
"Not this again. How was I supposed to know she would rob me?"
"You should've been more careful Chase. It has my secrets on there, your sister's secrets." He looks down. "Your lucky I got it back."
His head shoots up. "Really?" I nod. "Good. Where is it?"
"I'm not telling you."
"Oh come on! I need that so I can fin—" I tilt my head to the side in question. "Nevermind."
"Why are you so eager to make OASIS?"
"Because if I perfect it, I plan on taking it and killing the ones who killed her." He sighs. "Just gotta find out who did it, first." He whispers to his self.
"You're a good guy Chase, no need for more blood on your hands."

"Did you find out anything?" Luca asks me as soon as I step foot in his home. I hold my wrists out waiting for him to release the cuffs but he folds his arms.
"You're not getting anything out of me until you take these off." He grunts and unlocks them.
"Speak."
"I'm not a dog."
"Yeah, whatever. Did you find them or not?" I roll my eyes and turn to leave out his office. "That's fine, don't tell me. I'll have Vicky to find them."
"If she's a plumber maybe but I doubt even they can." I cross my arms and he smirks.
Damnit.
"So you poured them down a drain or flushed them? Which one, amore?"
"Don't call me that." He tilts his head.
"Why? Does it bring back old memories?"
"No, it's a stupid nickname."
"It's stupid that I loved you?" He questions looking intently at me. The question catches me off guard and i'm astounded. "Don't sweat it. The name rolls off the tongue easy, that's all." He shrugs with a cocky smirk.
The door behind me opens and Luca's mother walks in. She eyes me up and down before walking closer to her son. "Hi, Mrs. Mancini." I greet. "It's not nice to see you still alive and breathing."
"Watch it, Aubrei." Luca threatens.
"Oh! Excuse my ignorance." The lady sighs and goes through a folder she's holding. Luca presses his intercom button and telling someone to escort me to my room. "Aww, why. I wanted to talk to my mother-in-law a bit longer." Leila's head snaps to Luca and he shakes his, telling the person to hurry up. The door opens and it's. "Marco." He doesn't make eye contact with me, he only puts the cuffs on me and pulls me out of the room. "Marco." I call his name once again. "Marco are y—"
"Do you know the shit we went through to prove your innocence? The innocence that turned out to be false." He says lowly. "We all tried tried so hard but it was you all along." He finally lifts his head and there's a medium size, semi new, gash on his eyebrow.
I feel the back of my eyes burn. "Marco, I am so sorry."
"Just go in your room, Aubrei." He's back to looking down.
"I never intended for any of this to happen." I hear my voice crack. He removes the handcuffs then shuts the door in my face.
"Yeah? So what did you intend to accomplish?" Luca voices through the speaker.
"Fuck you, Luca. How dare you do that to him?" I look at the camera in the top corner.
"How dare he lie to my face?" He mocks in question.
"They didn't know! You asshole!" I shout.
"Not my fault. what did you think I was going to do with them?"
"Where's Nick, Carter, and Johnathan?!"
"They're around here somewhere. With the same exact scar to match. Oh! With the exception of Nick, he's gone." He yawns throughout the sentence.
"Gone where?" I wait but he doesn't respond. "Gone where?!"
"It seems as if his loyalty still lied with you, so I got rid of him."
"No, Luca. What did you do?" I step closer to the camera.
"Goodnight." He says.
"Luca!" The lights shut off and it's pitch black. There's no sound only white noise.
