"Everybody dies", that's what they say
And maybe in a couple hundred years
They'll find another way
I just wonder why you'd wanna stay
If everybody goes
You'd still be alone

"You're young, aren't you?" Sevika asked, fidgeting with a switchblade. Caitlyn began to get feeling back in her legs, but not all of it.

"Sure," Caitlyn said. "I'm young, what of it?"

"Rather young to be killing people, if you ask me."

"You do realize it was you, right? All you. You and Silco."

Sevika gave her a smug grin. "We were supposed to make it quick and painless. You were a small kid."

Caitlyn began to tear up. "Why didn't you shoot me when you saw me run off."

"Because you were a child."

"So you made me watch everything?"

"You would've died eventually if Marcus didn't get you."

"I guess I'm gonna die now, huh?"

"That's not up to me, that's up to Silco."

"He will have no sympathy for a 15 year old girl who survived her family's massacre and is trying to kill him."

"Maybe you should've kept your distance."

"And leave my family's files to sit in some desk drawer and collect dust? Absolutely not."

Something chimed and Sevika looked over at the counter on the other side of the room. It was a coffee machine. Sevika got up and turned the repetitive noise off. Caitlyn realized that all the feeling in her legs came back. She waited for Sevika to turn completely around before getting up, running over and grabbing the switch blade Sevika left in the seat and stepping behind her. She waited for Sevika to turn around before stabbing her continuously in the throat. She didn't stop until she didn't have much of a throat left. Caitlyn backed up and let Sevika's body drop down into the floor in front of her feet. She found her boots in front of the foot of the bed and quickly put them on before Silco came back to the room.

There had been a few more screams that echoed the halls as Caitlyn run through them. She was covered in Sevika's blood and holding Sevika's switchblade. She followed the screaming that echoed through the hall until she reached this room. It seemed like a morgue. The screams had faded because the girl screaming was dead. From what Caitlyn could tell, the girl had been cut open like an autopsy and some of her organs had been removed. Clearly she was awake during all of it. She saw Silco standing over the body with a bloody scalpel in his hand. His face was covered in blood and it looked horrifying. Before Silco noticed Caitlyn, she had the chance to run before she was caught.

She needed to find a gun, not a switchblade. She found that out the hard way, come on, Silco was in a better condition than she was. Caitlyn finally found a room filled with barrels. That's just where she happened to stumble. Maybe there would be a gun somewhere so she searched each and every one of those barrels. She had searched over half the barrels in the room and found nothing but clothes and drugs. Maybe she needed these drugs for herself at some point because she was getting no progress what so ever. Suddenly, there was a gunshot and a sharp pain in her gut. She turned around to see Silco pointing her own revolver at her. "You foolish child," he said.

The bullet had only grazed her but it still hurt; 9/10 on the scale. "You were supposed to be waiting your turn!" Silco shouted at her.

"Turn for what?" Caitlyn asked.

"For you procedure, of course."

"Procedure?"

"It appears you are not well. You need to be fixed."

"No, you're the one that needs fixing," Caitlyn felt the pain get worse. "It's clear that you're a broken, pathetic piece of shit. You couldn't possibly imagine living a life of misery alone, so you brought other people down with you. You became greedy because you wanted to pick yourself up out of that sorriness that hide in the back of your mind and within the cold coating around your heart. For Christ sake, you're a drug lord. Is that money not enough?"

"You don't understand, young girl. You don't understand my complications."

"I don't? You and your goons murdered my entire family right in front of me and then tried to starve me in this cold, dark room. You don't have the right to tell me what I don't understand. You are the one who's lacking understanding."

"Give me that damn jewel, you foolish girl!"

"Jewel?" Caitlyn looked at him as if he had three heads. She finally caught her balance before saying, "what jewel?"

"Don't play dumb!" Silco shouted. "I will shoot you, I don't care how young you are!"

"Do it. See what people think about you killing an innocent 15 year old girl. You'll lose all of your workers and your clients so fast that it will make your head spin. You'll realize that in fact... there is no jewel."

Silco lowered his gun and looked at her in disbelief. "What?"

Caitlyn jumped at him and quickly got the gun from his hand. He squirmed away and tried to reach for it, but Caitlyn just pistol whipped him. She stood up and watched up squirm back further until there was no way out. "You're the fool," she said to him. "You seriously believe what people tell you as a child? You sorry piece of shit."

"You've got no idea what you're saying."

"However, there is one place you never looked."

"Where?"

Caitlyn held up her car keys with a dark blus Sapphire shining bright in Silco's eyes. "You're a shitty businessman," she said. "You trust all the information given to you and deep down, you're just this poor little boy who never grew up. Do you really think you're in Jumanji or something?"

"You just told me you didn't have it!"

"Yes, well, I believe that your intelligence needed to be insulted. One. Last. Time." And with that, Caitlyn shot him right in between the eyes. He gasped for air and fell back, his head hitting he wall. She spun the revolver around the tip of her finger and walked down the hall, looking for a way out.

Deep down, there was something still there in Silco's heart. Same as everyone. There was something always there that had mistreated him, but that never excused his actions against Caitlyn and her family. He had probably done the same to other families. In her dreams, a clean shot between the eyes was Caitlyn's idea of the perfect revenge. She got what she wanted, so why did she feel so empty now? Was it because she had nothing to do? No job, no task? No target? Maybe everything had began to hit her all at once. She had killed four people because she never had the chance to seek justice from the law and the government who were supposed to help. She found justice through killing those inhumane monsters. She may have come from money, but greed was her worst enemy. Greed could kill many people and even yourself.

It took walking through many tunnels and walking around in a circle about a hundred times to find the exit. It was in the side of a hill at the bottom of a mountain. "Who the hell even built this place?" She asked herself. Whoever did it had a smart plan, there was no getting out of there if you had no idea how to fight. As she reached the bottom of the hill, there was a view that made her smile. An old pickup truck and her own car, but it needed some new windows.
