Don't Let Go

One Shot

Noah was standing by his car talking to Jade's father. They knew where Jade was now and they were right outside waiting for the right moment to go in and get her, but someone saw them from the window.

The gun was laying on the counter and a hand grasped it.

The door cracked open just enough for the gun.

Then the gun went off.

*BANG*

Everyone was startled and checked to see if there friends were still standing around them.

One was missing.

Their worry grew to fear, but their fear became shock when they looked out the window and saw Noah on the ground, he was clearly shot and bleeding out. No one was around. They only saw Jade's father, but she insisted he would never shoot his boss' son.

Regardless, Robbie called the cops and they watched as Jade's father ran from flashing lights, then cops, then was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car.

They watched as the cops walked up to Robbie's front door and knocked.

Robbie moved to answer it, the shock and fear still evident on his face.

"Officers? Is eveything okay out there? I heard a gunshot go off." He stated pretending he was the only one there and that he didn't know the people outside of his house.

"A young man close to your age was shot and killed, we believe it was by the older gentleman who fled the scene when we arrived. Did you see anything that would be of importance to this case?"

Robbie shook his head. "No, I-I was just in my room doing homework and I heard it. I heard some yelling, but I couldn't make it out."

Beck held them against the wall to keep them quiet or they would have to answer questions too.

"...well thank you for your time. If you think of anything just come on down to the station."

Robbie nodded and stepped back inside as the officers walked away.

"Okay, what the hell?" He asked. Beck shrugged. "But, who shot Noah?"

Beck shrugged again. "I don't know... but who cares? The way I see it Noah is dead and Jade's father is going to jail for it so we finally get justice."

"That's good, but did you shoot him?" He asked.

Beck shook his head. "No. I thought maybe you did."

Robbie shook his head. "No. I didn't. I don't even know where that gun went." He shrugged.

The boys looked over at the girls in shock.

"Jade?" Beck asked.

"Cat?" Robbie asked.

"I shot him."
