The Suicide Circle

Ready

Bang.

Dakota's body froze. Blood was splattered all over his face. His eyes were wide open, the gun pressed against his forehead still there.

The woman in front of him dropped to her knees, then face planted into Dakota's crotch.

He stared at her body, shocked to be able to ask himself if he was really still alive. What just happened?

Bang.

The noise still echoed in his ears.

He heard it. A bang, and a gun aimed right at him. So...why was his 'mother' on the floor instead of him?

"I'm glad I didn't let you go alone."

Dakota recognized the voice, and he looked in the direction it came from.

Grayson stood there with a pistol in his hand, nervously laughing.
"And I'm glad Liana gave me this."

Dakota stared at him in horror for a moment, then ran towards him at lightning speed. Immediately he threw his thin little arms around his boyfriend, the pistol in Grayson's hand dropping to the floor.

Grayson stumbled to keep his balance, then returned the hug.

"Is my heart still beating?" Dakota asked, his head pressed against Grayson's chest. Just being able to hear Grayson's heartbeat calmed him.

Grayson held him closer.
"Yeah. I can feel it."

Dakota pulled away slightly, then looked up.
"How did you-"

"I followed you." Grayson replied. He let go of Dakota and walked over to the woman he shot.
"Fuck."

Dakota winced at the sight, but kneeled down beside her body.
"Is she already...?"

"Mhm."

Dakota stared at the body on the floor, his fingers on her neck trying to find a pulse.

"Kody, that's enough. She's dead."

The blonde boy nodded his head, wiping away a tear.

Grayson just stared at him, not understanding his reaction.
"Why are you crying?"

Dakota looked down, shaking his head.
"I just-I don't know, she-"
He cut himself off with a sniffle, then looked back at the body on the floor.
"She raised me for 4 years, I don't know how I can just get over this."

Grayson kneeled down as well.
"I know how."

Dakota looked at him, and Grayson put his hand on Dakota's shoulder.
"Reunite with your real family."

"I don't even know where-"

"FREEZE!" A voice shouted, followed by the sound of people arming themselves with guns.

"Aw fuck." Grayson muttered, standing up and turning around with his hands up.

Dakota did the same, low key hiding behind his boyfriend.

There were about 5 policemen standing there, all armed.

"State your name and occupation."

Both of the boys were silent for a moment, until the policeman repeated his words harsher.

Grayson didn't budge, but Dakota stepped out from behind him and stood up straight.
"My name is Dakota James McCoy. I am a missing person. This is Grayson Bell. He is as well. We did not mean any harm. That is the truth. This woman, this woman on the ground was a woman who kidnapped me 4 years ago and posed as my mother. She had a gun as well, and she was about to kill me. Then Grayson came, and...and this was all he could do!"

After the policemen hesitated, an outburst of surprise, confusion, belief, and disbelief broke out.

Then in a seemingly organized formation they stepped forward, one policemen kneeling in front of Dakota's mom's body, then said something into his walkie talkie. And without any violence the rest of the policemen took Dakota and Grayson into the station.

"Maisie, what are you doing?"

"We've found...pretty much everything that we needed about Katell, so why not use this computer to our advantage?" Maisie shyly replied to Liana.

"Well, what are you trying to look for?" Liana asked as Maisie nervously typed in her own name.

"I wanna know...where my parents are. And why they gave me up." Maisie paused her typing to say that, not even looking at Liana.

"But, are you sure that, you won't be hurt with whatever is answer is?"

Maisie didn't have an answer, she just walked towards Liana and pulled her in for a hug.
"Whatever it is, I have to be ready for it. It's now or never, right?"

Liana laughed, and held Maisie's delicate frame in her arms.
"Right."
