One Way Or Another (Scream 3) BillyxOCxStu

Chapter Eleven: "I don't want them, I want you!"

Once we got to the station he started working on the report and talking to the officers who had interviewed the people that were there today. After a while, he said he was going to head back to the studio to try and meet up with Dewey and Gale. He said he'd be back soon and then we'd all talk about their meeting with Milton.

I agreed to stay back, only because I didn't want to go back to the studio and see the set. I wish I could just talk to Billy and find out what they know. But it's too risky to call them here.

I looked around the office, surprised to see a file with my name on it. I moved over to his seat, picking up the file, and opening it to reveal articles and pictures all about me. The police reports from before, all the articles that have come out about me over the years, and even some random photos.

My cell phone started to ring and I picked it up, hoping it would be Dewey or at least the boys. "Hello?"

"Hello?" my voice echoed.

"Who is this?" I asked, just for my voice to echo again. "Uhm, who's calling?" When it echoed again I sighed. "Dewey, Mark, whoever, call me back. I only hear myself."

There was a familiar clicking sound. "I only hear you too, Hazel."

I clenched my jaw. "Who is this?"

"The question isn't who I am. The question is, who's with me?"

"Hazel! Stay away!" Dewey yelled, causing my eyes to widen.

"Hazel!" Gale called out.

I was about to get up and leave the office when he spoke again. "If you do one thing to attract attention, I'll kill them both. Now, go to the other office and close the door."

I did as he said, going into the adjoining office, which happened to be Wallace's. I sat at his desk. "Okay," I said, letting him know I did it.

"Good girl." He chuckled and I gripped the desk. "Always hard being friends with you. When you're friends with Hazel, you die! Well, these friends don't have to. It's up to you."

"How do I know their voices-?"

"Are real? How do you know you're not hearing things? How do you know I'm not someone in your head? Someone you know?"

"Don't come here, Hazel!" Dewey yelled followed by the sound of him being hit.

"Dewey!" Gale exclaimed.

"Or do you?" The man asked.

"You're dead," I growled.

"I don't want them, I want you! It's simple. You show yourself, they survive. You run, they die. Along with your little boyfriends. My partners."

I gasped, realizing this person might be double-crossing the boys. I heard another hit and Dewey groaned in pain.

"Oh, God!" Gale cried.

"Don't you want to know Hazel? To know who I am? Who's been working with them all along?"

I shook my head, this could be a trap, the boys might not even be there. I was about to ask where they were when the man laughed. "Wonderful for you two to join us," he said and I heard Gale gasp.

"Hazel! Stay away!" Dewey yelled, sounding more fearful than before. "It's a trap!"

"I wouldn't listen to him if I were you, Hazel." I closed my eyes, trying to listen for the boys.

"What's going on? Where's Hazel?" I heard Billy ask and I smiled a little, glad to hear his voice. But, he seems confused, maybe the guy is doublecrossing them.

"I'm waiting to see what her answer is. If she'll come or if we get to gut these two."

"Stop, please. I'll be there. Just - where do I need to go?"

"Milton's house. It's Roman's birthday after all, we're having a big party here. Come in the back, that's where we are."

I hung up, grabbing the keys that sat on Wallace's desk. I was about to leave when I stopped, opening the drawers until I found what I was looking for, a small gun. I grabbed it, tucking it on my ankle along with another I found in Mark's desk, on the same ankle only opposite sides.

I then grabbed a bulletproof vest quickly putting it on under my shirt and jacket. Then I snuck out the back way, finding Wallace's car and starting to drive. I had been invited to Milton's before, to one of his screenings. I didn't go, hearing that those parties are nothing but trouble. But I'm glad for the old invite, I know just where to go now.
