Kill The Rich

32nd Chapter: Holding Onself Accountable

(September 2024 - 2 Days later)

Everyone in the group either sits or stands around the living room area in the Wheeler's house of Nancy's, all of them having thought filled or deep in thought expressions on their faces.

"Max is right." Will says. "We were so wrapped up in our own anger and selfish desire to find Lucas we weren't even considering her feelings or being understanding towards Lucas."

"We messed up." Nancy rubs her face a little bit with her eyes closed.

"Yeah you guys sure did, even though I was telling you all that you all were acting like complete imbeciles and weren't listening." Holly shrugs.

"Okay what has been your problem?" Mike questions. "It seems like a few days ago your attitude has been nastier than usual."

"Probably because the great friend you all were trying to help I knew you all were going to end up pissing her off." Holly shrugs. "You all did the same to Erica as soon as she woke up you all sent detective Cohan her way, trying to bombard her with questions. Max just woke up yesterday and you all come in the room with him too. Not to mention he is a arrogant prick."

"Yes you all were trying to look out for a friend but you all weren't looking at the bigger picture either, and that's why I'm glad Max got mad at each and everyone of you, because now you all finally understand." She says. "I will be staying at the Hideout House, no one bother me."

They all look as she goes to make her way upstairs, then hearing the door slam shut. As much as they want to get mad at her they know that she is right.

"Look it's not the end of the world for you guys, just apologize." Cassidy shrugs, her going to pick up her motorcycle helmet.

"As Max said everyone makes mistakes, but second chances can be given if a change is made." Romano adds in.

"So....you all do that." Hillard states. "But since she didn't get mad at us we are going to visit her before we head back off to Hawaii, since we have a self defense business to run."

All of them nod, them going to leave out of the house.

"Hey Cassidy." Steve follows her out, Cassidy looking back at him. "Hey umm....you wouldn't mind if I went with you guys right?"

Cassidy smiles while she puts on her blue leather gloves. "Why's that?"

"Well because it's kind of shit here and I need a getaway." Steve answers. "I could help with the business, I know a few things. And maybe...while we're there we could...well I could....take you somewhere."

Cassidy smiles a little more after putting on her gloves, her hands going on her hips. "Hmm..." she starts while going over to him, her standing in front of him making him look down at her lightly. She leans in, him leaning in a little more making her pull back with a teasing smile. "If you can keep up with my bike, sure."

Steve looks at her with a smile when she puts on her helmet, her getting on her bike and going to start it up.

"Hey Romano!" Will calls out, Romano looking at him while he puts on his helmet. "Could you text me? That way I won't be lonely since Max is currently mad at me and she needs some time?"

Romano laughs a little. "It's not going to be a long and drawn out amount of time Will."

"I know but I'm emotional that's just who I am." Will mentions.

"I'll do you one better, I'll call you." Romano tells him.

Will smiles more. "So....when are you going to be back?"
