Halloween Night

Chapter 29

He drove forward only to be blocked off by a fortress of men walking towards them. They didn't have masks on, this scared him more than anything.

"Ally, get in the back!" Austin barked and she climbed back there. Trish had slid to the floor and Dez turned to Ally.

"Listen I have a case, a black case in the back of the truck. A black one and a camo one. Get it."

Ally bent over the back seat and found them. They were heavy. She picked up the camo one and handed it to Austin. Austin opened it up and looked at Dez with concern and confusion in his eyes. "Don't be all judgey. That is what will get us out of here. And they're my dads."

Ally grabbed the black case and handed it to Dez. He opened it up and that was when Ally saw what was in it. A handgun. "I-is it loaded?" Ally asked, sinking behind Austin's seat.

"Uh, no, you can't have a loaded gun in a car, duh." Dez said as if she was stupid.

"Ally doesn't know gun laws, dimwit." Austin shot back. "I'll take that. You deal with this."

They switched, "Is that a-?"

"Shush! The men are talking about weapons!" Dez yelled and Austin shot him a look. Ally sauntered down to the ground by Trish.

"Trish?," she touched her cheek, "are you awake?

"A-Allly." She replied with a giggle, groggy and drugged. "You have a silly shirt. Haha."

"Tri-" Austin started.

"It's fine, Austin." Ally said in a quiet voice. "You're going to be okay Trish, I promise." Ally whispered, stroking her hair as tears came to her eyes.

Trish continued to giggle like a maniac when Ally felt the car start to move. She made eye contact with Austin. "Stay down, baby." He tells her.

She nods and buries her head in her hands, waiting for something big to happen. For the bomb Dez had in his lap to go off. For Austin to shoot. For something. Anything.

But, what happens instead? She hears sirens. Thank god. The police have finally come to save them. Tears flow freely out of her eyes now and she looks up at Austin. But the look in his eyes is not relief, it's terror.

"What, Austin?"

Austin gulps, "Alls, if we get caught with this..."

"We're screwed." Dez interjects, with wide eyes.

"And I have Bella's blood all over me." Austin tells Dez and Ally looks out the car window to see Bella's body hanging from a street light. Austin had run up to help her earlier. He tried to get her down, but she was already dead. And now there they were, with knifes and guns and Ally had actually killed a guy and...

"Oh god..." Ally breathed out.

"Oh god. Oh gody god god god..." Trish repeated, singing.

"We have to run." Dez stated, backing the car up.

"No!" Austin yelled. "We can't."

Ally looked back and forth between the two, they both turned to her for answers and she looked to Austin, tears in her eyes. "Austin, I'm sorry. I want to tell you you're right but..." She looked out the window again, "we have to run."

Austin's eyes were crazy. "They did this to us!" Austin yelled, "they should pay."

"But, they won't." Dez yelled. "We will." He was almost crying. "I have a drugged girlfriend in my back seat, Austin. This looks the opposite of good."

"You guys are crazy!" Austin yelled. "Just, just do something with the bomb and we'll tell them the truth." Austin said and Dez looked down at the bomb. It was illegal, but was it really illegal? Or just like fireworks from Wyoming illegal?

Dez backed the car up more. "No stop please."

Dez handed Ally the case and she opened the back window. "Throw this out, Ally."

"Ally's hands were shaking. "Throw it into the ditch."

Ally did as he said and the cops were coming closer. Dez moved the car again, trying to hide where they had thrown it hoping it would go off before they found it. "Okay, so we're doing this, huh?" He looked at Austin and Austin turned towards Ally who had tears streaming down her face.

"If I lose you to this..." She cried, "I'll never forgive you."

"W-we can't go wrong with the truth, right?" Austin said. He knew Ally wouldn't be able to say no to that because she's the most honest person and cannot handle lying. He took his cleanest hand and wiped a tear off her face with the pad of his thumb. "I love you too much to run."

"I love you too much to stay." She cried.

"Well I love Trish too much to not let her get medical attention." Dez said and with that, Ally nodded and opened the door. She grabbed Trish and helped her out. Austin wrapped his arm around Ally's waist and pushed her slightly behind him. Police men were rushing towards them, shining lights in their faces, holding guns up to them. Ally squinted at them through the bright light and 'unarmed herself' which was dropping her can of mace.
