Pretty Little Poison II Jordan Li

CHAPTER SEVEN: I NEED TO PUNCH SOMETHING

Jordan, Los, Lexi, Marie, Andre, and Cate go with Andre to the last place Emma's tracker picked up, and when they get there, all that awaits them is a massive crater in the ground. "I found the tracker."

The group follows Marie's voice to find her in the middle of the crater. "It has blood on it."

"Maybe this is a good thing." Andre tries to spin it so the blame isn't placed on him. "It means she got out of the hellhole."

Andre takes the chip from Marie. "It looks like a meteor crashed here." She tells them as if it weren't blatantly obvious.

"Maybe Sam can jump like Maeve does?" Andre suggests. "He landed here with Emma, and then he jumped again."

"What were you thinking?" Marie goes after Andre.

"I had to do something." Andre says, trying to sound heroic.

"Yeah, but...you didn't do anything." Marie attacks him. "And of all people, you went to Emma?"

Everyone's phone goes off except for Marie who didn't have one on her. "What is it?" She asked.

"The new rankings are out." Jordan tells her, scrolling through the new top ten. "Andre's number one, you're two," Jordan tells Marie. "Los is three, I'm still five, and Lexi's..." They pause.

"What? What is it?" She asks, going over to look at Jordan's phone. She follows Jordan's eyes to her picture next to the number four. "I'm four."

Lexi didn't know what to think, a few weeks ago she would have been elated to be at number four, but that was when Luke was one, Jordan was two, and Andre was three. Now Jordan, someone she believed was more powerful than her, is below her, and it clearly mattered more to them than it did to her.

"Rankings? Really? We have bigger fucking problems." Andre approaches Jordan.

"Says number one." Jordan responds. "But you're right we do."

"It's turns out the school has a fucking Mengele Health Clinic." Jordan tells Andre. "We don't know who's in on it. If Brink was...Maybe other professors like Dean Shetty."

Lexi walks up behind them. "What are we supposed to do? Get a green van, and a talking dog and fucking solve it."

"You're gonna end up like that fucking cricket." Jordan adds, gaining Marie's negative attention.

"That lost girl who's in deep shit, her name is Emma." Marie tells Jordan.

Cate walks down into the crater joining everyone else. "Lex and Jordan are right."

"Fucking thank you!" Jordan responds, finally walking away from Marie and Andre.

"Wherever Emma is, it's not here." Cate adds walking past Andre. "I told you not to do anything stupid. Why don't you ever fucking listen to me."

Lexi, Jordan, and Cate walk back towards the car, Andre trying to catch her attention but gives up once he realizes Cate's anger towards him. "I'm sorry Marie, but Emma could be dead. We're in over our heads here." Los contributes to the conversation before following after his sister.

Jordan and Lexi were on their way to one of the training rooms, but on their way to the crime fighting building, they noticed Marie, talking to Rufus, aka the bleached rapist.

"Why the hell is she talking to him?" Jordan asked.

"I don't know, but we should probably keep an eye on her while she does, you know how Rufus is." Lexi responds, both her and Jordan standing in the grass, looking at them from afar.
