The Grin

Chapter 13: David

I knew what I had to do, I had to kill The Grin. I couldn't do it alone.
Bryan had gotten out of the hospital, and was in a walking boot. I told him everything that had happened while he was in the hospital, he told me.
"David, there is a weakness to The Grin, since he has killed your friends, you will have a dream tonight, where The Grin will kill you."
"If you know where the dream takes place, you can kill The Grin then and there."
"But how? The guy can go into dreams."
"Didn't you get an address from that Craig guy?"
"How did you know that?"
"Craig came to me and said this address and it was at 648 Grover avenue."
"What? I have 689 Bear Paw Lane."
"As I said it's different for everyone."
"David, stop this motherf*cker. For my friends and everyone he has killed."
"Hey, how did you know when he was done with you?"
"He said Game Over and Shot me with a shotgun with a machete attached to it. Calls it Hack 'n' Boom."
"How do you know so much about him?"
"I used to work with him, I was replaced by Craig."
"You...F...Did you tell me that stuff for him? Was it all bullsh*t? Are you working with him? I thought I could trust you."
"David, I told you that because I didn't want you to suffer the sane fate as I did. And no I'm not working with him. Go to the address after your dream.
The Final Dream.
I was in a cage, Henson was wearing a tiger tamer costume, I was being whipped. But, I grabbed his hand and twisted it. I punched him in the throat and took his whip and tied it around his neck. I saw a rise and fall lever, I tied it to the top of the cage and jumped out (There was a latch to unlock it, The Grin was pulled in somehow, without it opening.
I rose the cage to the top and pressed the release button, the bottom of the cage let loose and The Grin is hanging, I thought I may have actually killed him, but a shot was fired. I looked at The Grin, but nothing but a broken neck I turned around and looked at my chest. I was shot. Bryan was holding the gun. The Grin did his signature smile and said "Betrayed."
I woke up, I called Bryan and I said
"F*ck you, did you think I would believe you wouldn't betray me? You shot me in my dream!'
"Yeah." a voice that was not Bryan's said
"Who the h*ll are you?"
"Tom Cruise, who else would it be?"
"Henson, listen I will get you, you are not gonna kill me."
He hung up
I got a video notification that said "This is for you, David."
It started out with a man with a bag on his head, standing on a chair. The setting was really creepy, looked like it came out of Saw. The Grin came into picture and said to the camera "Snitches get stitches and wind up in ditches."
He went over to the guy and uncovered his bag. It was his mailman accomplice. He then said "Me llamo muerte (I am death." And kicked the chair he was hung.
That's what the dream was about, Betrayed by a colleague, I still couldn't think Bryan wouldn't betray me.
The night of the fight.
I arrived at a building named The Red Hover I looked at the paper it said go around back and knock like hotline bling. That was funny. But I went in after doing a weird knock. I was in the laboratory. I saw Shane Henson sitting on a chair looking at cameras, and he said
"I'm not a murderer, David."
"You lying son of a b*tch."
"Just think about it, Ted fell on a knife after trying to hit you, When you knocked on the door. A loose wire caused the fan to fall on Henrietta, Ed's lamp was on a frequency as my Sniper rifle YOU turned it on. Gary was hit with a nail gun YOU turned on, Ryan threw you into the fridge, exposing combustible gases, which caused the oven to catch fire. YOU interfered with my encounter with Iyla and her boyfriend and you pushed my gun to the mirror causing it to shoot her. And Nigel was thrown downstairs after you wouldn't talk to him, you caused him to commit suicide."
"You motherf*cker."
I threw a punch at him, he caught my fist and got up out of the chair and started to twist, my hand was broken, I screamed with all the pain in my body I kicked him into his computer.
He came back with a knife, and stabbed me in the other hand. I grabbed my hand and twisted, to put it back in place. And took the knife out of my hand, I threw it at his chest and landed but, He was wearing Kevlar, He tackled me and tried to stab me. I was struggling and struggling, but I heard
Bang!
I looked at myself but I was fine there was a bullet hole right in The Grin's head.
It was Bryan.
"I told you I wouldn't betray you."
I saw a Jerry can and Bryan gave me a box of matches I poured it all over and lit the matchbox on fire. We ran as soon as we lit them.
The next day
I was happy, all of the h*ll I went through was finally over.
I went to grab my lunch tray and I saw a reflection in my tray. It was The Grin.
He then grabbed me through the tray and pulled me in.
He shot me with hack n slash and the last thing I remember was I was on the ground looking at the barrel of a gun.
