Couple weeks in I was a dead man it all started Saturday, school was out for a bit by the time I go back there was only gonna be maybe about 4 days left. I sat down on the couch and ate my bowl of cereal, while flipping through channels I came across the news and only stoped when seeing a photo of killer x caught on the outside school camera. Putting my spoon back in my bowl I watched as detective Owens began speaking on the mic. "This degenerate masked vigilante you all know as killer x was at the scene of the crime and was, no scratch that and is guilty for the murder of officer Richard Harrison daily." A lump began forming in my throat as I felt a cold and yet raging passion towards Owens . The reporter shot up her hand

"So what will you guys do with the situation?"

"Well do what we do to every criminal killer x is to turn himself in or we will use force brute force." Owens began looking around for more questions as another reporter raised his hand "But is it true that there was more then one body discovered at the scene?" Owens expression changed "well yes we believe someone else was there but my focus is to catch the vigilante, we have orders to shoot on sight of in contact with this man we advise anyone to reach safety and call us." Owens looked back at the camera ..I felt a chill so cold coursing down my spine..it felt like he was trying to scare me Owens slowly opened his mouth and with a serious tone he spoke in the mic "killer x you've been warned...I'm coming for you .." and like that he walked off. I griped the remote and threw it against the wall letting out a frustrated yell, Jason came running downstairs "What's going on!?"he shouted looking at me I told him I needed air and walked off as best as I could with my sprained leg. Walking to Mel's house I knocked on his door, his mom answered "hi mrs R is mel home ?" I asked with a kind distressing tone she smiled and answered with a heart felt tone "no I'm sorry sweetie he went out with friends." I nodded and apologized for bothering

"You know when I call you the least you could do is pick up or text." Kat said walking up to me "I left my phone turned off." She showed me her phone "no ..no you didn't." I shook my head
"You gotta stop doing that it's kinda creepy.." she smiled "aww then you really don't know me at all creepy is my middle name, well not literally cause that would be weird I mean kaitlyn creepy Reilly , hey that's actually not as bad got a catchy touch to it" I put my finger on my lip "please just stop.." Kat replied calmly "so what are you gonna do about this how do you plan on getting Marco without being shot at?" I shrugged looking down defeated. "I don't..Marco won..killer x isn't a hero he's a criminal." I began walking back towards my house only for kat to jump in front of me "hey you can't just quite now Marcos free so what you got a problem police don't like you ... guess what..you did a better job they could ever do .. you found out there's a gun trade military grade..you did not them." I looked into her soft blue eyes "no Kat..I was just in the way..I got lucky..and now I'm on orders shoot to kill.." she threw her hands up "who cares you were the one that said you wanted this so what you got police on you we need you.."

I began raising my voice "Kat I'm not ready for this it isn't me ..what don't you get I pushed my family away for this, and now my best friend wants nothing to do with me I'm not a hero they know it let's face it we know it!" Kat began raising her voice "who cares they don't understand you not everyone's gonna like you but who cares people are gonna turn against you , but you show them your not there to make friends! You're here to protect them!"  I walked passed her "well...killer x ..he's just another problem to the world ..I fucked up kat..I'm done.." I walked home and stood downstairs trading that stupid suite looks every now and then, thinking to myself how I was gonna dispose of it properly.

My mom stepped downstairs I panicked and ducked the suite under the sofa cushion. "Hey sweetie are you ok?" I sat on the sofa "yeah I'm good mom..peachy.." she sat next to me and said "you know you can tell me anything right?" I sat there and stared at the floor "I don't know just thinking bout Dad.." she sighed "tell me what's on your mind." I frowned "it's just this guy..hasn't been caught or convicted ..and..it feels like they did nothing while he roamed free." She took a deep breathe " well they don't have enough proof towards the man so he didn't do it it's someone else they can't waist time trying to convict an non guilty man.." I chuckled "he's not good people mom.." she smiled "nobody's good sweetheart..everyone has a secret a dark corner ..an evil..that's why where there's darkness there's a light..where there's doubt .." she kissed my forehead  "there's hope.." I lightly smiled and rested my head on her shoulder, "I'm just..tired..I wanna sleep..I want another chance...a redo .." she laughed "well if we all had redos there wouldn't be any point on learning from mistakes now would there.." I smiled "yeah..did daily or Owens tell you when the ID is being held?" She looked really confused "ID what?"

"ID suspects didn't they tell you?" I said reminding her again , "Owens never said anything about ID?" I shook my head I knew I wasn't crazy "daily told me about the....." it all hit me at once..as the memories creeped up on me "he lied...that's how he knew.." I ran up stairs and snatched my phone and hoodie, running out of the house I dialed Kats number

"Hey what's up geo listen I just wanted to" cutting her off as soon as she answered I shouted "GET ME EVERYTHING ON RICHARD HARRISON DAILY!" Kat paused for a moment "okay?, what's wrong?" I ran putting on my hoodie "it was all a setup! Kat it wasn't just a plan to kill me I think daily wasn't just a dirty cop!" She chuckled "well duh he was corrupt" I crossed the street in a hurry "No it makes sense now , he was throwing them off Marcos tracks for a reason that day he picked me up he asked a crap ton of questions and made it look like it was for Marco!" Kat gasped "wait so corrupt cop covers up for the murder ..oh my lord..." I shouted into the phone "HE WAS THE CLEAN UP!!" Kat exclaimed "you need to come over right now geo!" I kept running as it slowly started to rain ...
