"SIRENS"

"Amber—? Hey." I rush over to her, seeing her pacing in Mindys and Chads drive through.

"Hey—I was waiting for you. You have the keys?" She asks. I feel inside my pants pocket, and bring them out.

"Yeah. Im just gonna say bye to Mindy real quick." I tell her. She nods.

-

"So, have you talked to Amber bout' it yet?" Mindy takes a scoop out of her ice cream.

"Well—there's nothing much more to say. Wes was being a douche." I reply.

"Y/n." We hear my name get called out. I walk up to the cashier as I take the bags with food in it.

"Thank you." I smile at her.

"Do you think I could get your number?" She asks.

"Uh uh. Nope. Lets go." Mindy drags my hand, taking us out of the resturant.

"What the hell were you doing?" I readjust myself. "I was gonna say no myself."

"Just get in the car." She rolls her eyes. Suddenly ambulances and cop cars pass us.

"Holy shit..?" I set the food in a bag down.

"We should follow them." Mindy suggests.

"Then drive!" I yell at her.

"Okay—okay!"

-

"Wes and his mother were stabbed." Dewey tells us.

"Holy shit. Did you guys catch the killer?" I ask. He just shakes his head.

"Listen, you know I don't wanna do this, but I have to. Where were you during the attacks on Tara, Vince, and Wes?" Dewey pulls at his notepad.

"Dewey—? What, no. Im not the killer."

"I know you're not, but I have to. You're on the number one suspects board, Y/n. I need you to tell me you had an alibi, so I can get you off." He explains.

"Fuck. I was with my aunt—Sid, when Tara was attacked. I was with the group when Vince was. And with Mindy when Wes was. We were getting food." I tell him. He nods as he writes it down.

"Okay, good." He nods his head. Suddenly, Sam appears running over to us.

"What the hell happened?"

"Wes and his mom were stabbed."

"You're kidding me?" Sam looks shocked. Dewey shakes his head, sighing. Sam directs her attention to the killing sight. Her eyes land on a cop. We all watch as she walks up to him.

"Hey—if you're here, who's at the hospital with my sister?" Sam taps his shoulder.

"I don't know. I just heard an officer was murdered." He shrugs. We all look at one another.

"Shit—! Shit! Get in the car!" Dewey yells at all of us.
