Criminal Affairs

Chapter 8

**Sam's POV**
Since we've been at the new place me and Kara have grown closer. Matt has locked himself in his room. Cameron left a couple days ago to visit his family. So right now it's just me and Kara which is almost perfect. The only thing that's keeping it from being perfect is the fact that Cameron will come back at some point and Matt will eventually come out of his room. My only options are to enjoy my alone time with Kara while it lasts or to do something about it. I love Kara, she's amazing, beautiful and funny. I want to be with her all the time.
"Time for me to go visit with Matt." Kara interrupts my thoughts and heads upstairs. I wish she would just forget about Matt.
"If I have to I will pick the lock!" I hear Kara yell when I walk upstairs.
"Why do you even try?" I ask her as I sit down in front of her. "He obviously doesn't care." After I say that it seems like she's lost interest in begging him, but then she gets a text and the next thing I know Kara is going into his room.
Kara was in Matt's room for what felt like hours. When they finally came out they decided to go to the park. Solutions to my Matt problem flood my mind. I try to watch a movie to distract myself from the horrid thoughts. It doesn't work. I try other things like listening to music, I hang out with Nate, but nothing works. Part of me knows that I shouldn't go along with the thoughts that it's insane. Part of me wants nothing more than to go along with them.
I begin to drown in the thoughts and the longer I think about it the more I want to act on it. I finally confirm with myself that I have to get rid of Matt and Cameron. It's the only way I can have Kara completely to myself.
I text Kara and ask her when she will be back and I tell her I miss her. She says they'll be back soon and we can cuddle when she gets back. Soon after that they come home with food. We all sit down to eat and most of us are pouting because we didn't get to go to the park. After we eat, we stay up until about 5 am. Kara decides it's time for us to go to sleep. By sleep, I mean Kara cuddles with me until I fall asleep then she leaves.

I wake up around 12, I walk around looking for Kara, but I can't find her. Some of the other guys are in the living room as usual, so I go in the kitchen hoping no one is in there. I don't feel like socializing right now. The only person that is in there is Nash, he's at the bar eating cereal.
"Hey, have you seen Kara?" I ask while grabbing a bowl.
"Nope, but since Cam is gone, she probably stayed up until she got to Skype with Cam. So she'll be asleep for a while." He continues to eat his cereal.
"Wow, you know a lot about her don't you?" I ask, pouring cereal in my bowl.
"She's like my little sister, I know so much about her I sound like a stalker sometimes." He laughs to himself. "Cam knows her better than anyone though. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew her better than her own parents." He finishes his cereal and puts his bowl in the sink.
I go up to my room to continue ploting. There is an old parking deck a few miles away, it was next to a hotel until the hotel burnt down. It will be perfect since no one goes there and no one really pays attention to it. I know I'll have to wait until Cameron comes back so I'll have to wait a couple of days. Besides having to wait, I'm pretty much prepared. Kara won't even know I had anything to do with it. I'll make it look like they killed each other because of jealousy. I go downstairs to get something to drink. I get something out of the fridge, then walk around having nothing else to do. I hear the front door open I walk over to see who is here.
I hear an abundance of "Hey, you're back." and "What are you doing back so early?" from everyone. I get to the door and see it's Cameron.
"I missed everybody." He says, walking towards the stairs.
"No you missed Kara." Nash smirks.
Cameron blushes and smiles "Is my princess still asleep?"
"Yep." Nash answers.
Cameron heads up the stairs and goes into Kara's room. He's up there for a couple hours. I finally hear him leave so I go up to her bedroom assuming she's awake.
When I get in there, she's sitting on her bed watching TV.
"Hey baby girl!" I cheer, sitting next to her.
"Hey cutie!" She cheers smiling at me.
"I was gonna go hang out at the mall want to come?"
"Well the last time I went to the mall with you we had to move.. but sure." She giggles. Why does she have to be so damn cute? "I'll be ready in a minute." she says standing up.
I go in my room to get dressed then I meet her downstairs.
When we get to the mall we go to Victoria Secret, Forever 21, Rainbow, the food court, and now our last stop Journeys.
"Hey Kara can I borrow your phone mine died?" I ask her while she's looking at some Vans
"Yeah, sure." She says, handing me her phone. I pull up Camerons name and pretend to be Kara. I give him the address to the parking deck and tell him to meet me there at 6. I do the same thing to Matt and they both agree. I take a look at the time and I see that it's 5:30.
"Thanks." I say to Kara handing her the phone.
"No problem." She smiles. "Ready to go?"
"Yep!" We make our way back to the car and head home.
"Shit, I think I left one of my bags at the mall." I sigh when we get home.
"I'll go back with you to go get it." Kara says about to get back in the car.
"No, it's ok, I'll go get it you stay here." I smile and get back in the car.

**Kara's POV**
Sam leaves to go get the bag he left at the mall. I go upstairs to my room and put my new clothes away. I get a couple messages from Matt and Cam at almost the same time. Matt said 'Almost there' and Cam said 'just left'. I think about what the hell they could be talking about then I notice the messages before that. It tells them to go to an address. Sam must have told them to go there, he's the only other person who has had my phone. I grab my keys and go to my car wondering where this place is and why Sam wants them to go there.
I pull up to the place and see it's an old parking deck. I walk up to the second level and that's when I start to hear someone talking. They sound like they're a couple levels above me so I walk up to the third level.
"Wow, what the hell is going on!?" I hear what I'm guessing is Matt and Cam yell.
"Hey guys, I'm happy you're awake now!" I hear Sam cheer.
"What are you doing Sam?" Matt asks.
"Nothing really just having some fun."
"Why are we tied up?" Cam asks.
"You see what's happening guys is that all 3 of us love Kara, right? Well, I can't have all 3 of us loving her, I need her all to myself."
"So what? You're going to kill us?" Matt asks him.
"Probably" Sam answers before I hear a gun shot, making me yelp. I quickly cover my mouth. I feel my heart beat start racing like it's going to run a marathon straight out of my body at any second. "Did you guys hear that?" I hear Sam ask. I look around and see a door next to the elevator. I start making noise on the third level. I hear Sams foot steps so I run over to the door. As I open the door, I hold my breath hoping that it leads to the stairs. I can finally breathe again when I see the sets of stairs. I quietly walk up the steps to the next level where the guys are. Before I open the door, I take out my phone to call for help but of course there's no signal. I open the door slightly to make sure Sam isn't there. He's not there so I easily walk out,  being careful not to make any noise. I see Matt and Cam tied up to concrete posts. This is when I'm really happy I have a knife and a gun with me almost all the time.
"Guys don't freak out I'm going to cut you loose, ok?" I whisper walking up behind them.
"Kara?" They both ask.
"I swear I had nothing to do with this." I say still trying to breathe. I cut them out of the ropes.
"The stairs are over-" I'm cut off by the sound of Sam's foot steps. I start to freak out not knowing what to do.
"Act like you're still tied up." I urge them. I run to the other side of the level finding a concrete barrier to hide behind. I get my gun out and make sure it's loaded before I do something stupid.
"So who's ready to die?" Sam asks, walking back up to the level facing the guys. "How about Cameron?" I hear him pull out his gun. I slowly stand up and silently make my way over closer to him. I take a deep breath before I pull my gun out.
"Sam." I say standing right behind him with my gun pointed at him.
"Kara what are you doing here?" He asks with his gun still pointed at Cam.
"You need to stop Sam. What makes you think I'm going to love you if you kill Cameron and Matt?" I make my way almost in front of Cam. "Just put your gun down." My voice almost cracks from fear.
"I-I can't" he says, sounding frustrated. "I need to be with you. I have to kill them to be with you."
"Do you remember that night we were playing truth or dare and you asked me if I would rather be with you or Matt? Well....I pick Matt." I say coldly.
Sam starts shaking, he seems frustrated and angry. "But...I'm..I'm in love with you." his eyes start to water and then....he pulls the trigger. As soon as he does I shoot him. As he hits the floor everything goes silent. I sit on the ground and I feel tears flowing down my face. I just stare at Sam's lifeless body for what seems like hours, but it's only a few seconds. I faintly hear Matt and Cam yelling. I finally see Cam in front of me yelling something.
"Oh my god Kara are you okay!?" I hear them both yell. Cam is crying for some reason. I realize why when I see blood dripping from my left shoulder. I'm so happy Sam was a bad shot or Cam would have been dead. I continue to sit on the ground and cry. Matt picks me up and puts me in a car. He holds me in the back seat while Cam drives us to the hospital.
After the bullet is removed from my shoulder. The police come to interview me and the guys. I get nervous remembering that I'm still under suspicion.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions?" An older policeman asks me.
"Sure.." I answer watching Matt and Cam being interviewed. Matt has blood all over him from when he was holding me. Cam's eyes are red and swollen, he's been crying ever since I got shot.
I explain everything that happened. The interview runs smoothly and doesn't take long. The doctor tells me my shoulder should be fine but they want me to stay over night since I lost a lot of blood. Only one person can stay with me so Cam stays and Matt goes home to tell the guys what happened. I fall asleep once I'm settled in my room.
