HELL OF A CITY

009- "CHAPTER NINE"

Sidney walks into the hospital making everyone get up. We all look at her outside of Gales hospital room.

"How is she?" She rushes over to us.

"She's okay." Sam speaks up. We all stare at her, she then furrows her eyebrows.

"What?"

"Can I talk to you?" I clear my throat.

"Yeah—yes, of course." We walk away from the group into a unused hospital room. "Whats wrong?"

"Did you know?" I sigh.

"Did I know..? Did I know what—"

"My mom."

"You found out—?"

"I cant believe this." I walk away from her.

"Y/n—" She grabs my arm pulling me back towards her. "We just wanted to protect you. Dewey, Gale, and me."

"I don't fucking need protecting, Sidney! Im—Im nineteen."

"Y/n, if anyone would have known—it would have been horrible for you. I mean, Jillian Roberts sister..?"

"I don't care! I just want the truth. Tell me everything." I look up at her.

"Everything?"

"Everything!" I shout. She sets down her purse, walking over to a hospital bed. I follow her sitting down next to her.

"A year before your dad and Gale got married, your dad was seeing someone. My aunt, which I introduced him to. Apparently they hit it off—and you know what happens. Kate..Kate didn't want that. I guess, didn't want you..? Especially with Dewey and Gale opening and closing their relationship every year—she left you with your dad. And in twenty eleven, she was murdered..by your sister."

"Well now everybody fucking knows." I huff. "You know what this makes me, Sid? Number one of the fucking suspects list."

"No—"

"Yes. I a, Jillian Roberts sister. That whole sentence proves enough.

"But you are Dewey Rileys daughter. That sentence proves enough." She argues. I sigh.

"The fucked up part is I found you hot—I mean, we're cousins, Sid! What kind of bullshit is that?"

"I know."

"I don't think you do!" I stand up. "You know what, its fine. Im gonna catch this motherfucker—"

"We're gonna catch this motherfucker."

"Hey." Danny jogs into the police station. "I got here as fast as I could."

"Did you?" Tara replies. Danny looks back confused.

"Im scared you guys. I really don't wanna get hurt again." Mindy mutters to us.

"Nethier do I." Chads voice shakey.

"I don't want you getting hurt again ethier."

"No. Nope." Chad says. He rests his head on Mindys shoulder. Tara leans closer to me putting her head on my shoulder. "So what do we do now?" Chad asks. The group falls silent.

"Maybe he gets to win this time." Sam says. We all look up at her confused. "He wants to punish me. Me. So, maybe I let him. I'll just..give myself up. If this is what I havw to do to keep you safe, it's worth it."

"No—no. We're not doing that, Sam. Alright, you went back to Woodsboro to protect me. Every single day you make the decision to protect me. None of us would even be alive if it weren't for you." We all nod. "You have to let us protect you this time." Tara goes on.

"No." Sam shakes her head, tears coming down her face.

"Yes." Tara shoots back. "We're a team, remember?"

"Actually we're family." Mindy interrupts.

"One mental ill, fucked up family!" Chad stands up excited.

"Right." I laugh standing up as well.

"He's gonna keep coming after us." Sam looks at each one of us.

"Isn't there just somewhere safe we can just hold up in?" Ethan asks.

"He's just gonna keep finding us." Tara replies. In which, Ethan sighs.

"Great," He mutters.

"We can use that though."

About ten minutes later we come up with a plan.

"We want to lure him to a secure location and trap him inside." Tara explains on the phone to Bailey.

"Then what..?" He asks.

"We execute him." She looks around. "Are you gonna help us?"

"Let's kill this son of a bitch."
