Release

It was almost dusk, Julie and Bianca remained on the living room waiting for Exodus and Elmo’s arrival. Every second seems forever, as Julie felt nervous at every tick of the clock.

(Door Buzzes)

Julie stood up with Joy and immediately attends to it.

As she opened the door, she was surprised by who she saw.

Julie shed tears “Moe! It is truly you!” She uttered.

“Oh Julie, I am so glad you are fine!” Elmo embraced Julie and kissed her. “Julie I am so sorry.” He added.

“No Hon, it is I who should apologize.”

“ I am sorry.” Elmo insisted.

“Julie! Moe! We better hurry!” Exodus interrupted.

Elmo helped Julie and Bianca carry their stuff. Inside the car Julie embraced Exodus and Mavy. At first Julie was hesitant to talk to Louise but eventually, she was able to express her thanks for saving Elmo.

(Radio Conversation)

“Is everything clear?” Exodus asked.

“Everything is crystal sir.” An agent responded.

“Okay… Moe is everything good back there?” Exodus beeped.

“Yeah, nothing unusual here.” Elmo answered.

“Excellent. Okay, let’s go! We can’t afford to let Jean see us!” Exodus ordered.

The three cars slowly drove away from Bianca’s house making a beeline as they cruise the streets. Exodus’ Men went first followed by Exodus’ van and tailed by another van driven by his men.

“I am so happy you are awake.” Julie exclaimed.

(Laughs) “I told you I am not an easy kill.” Exodus boasted.

“I just can’t believe that Jean is the reason behind all of these.” Julie sighed.

“No one saw it coming.” Exodus answered.

After a moment of silence, Julie turned to Louise.

“Ahmm… Louise… I am sorry about what I told you before. I was just being protective of Moe because I know how your break up affected him.” Julie apologized.

“It’s fine Julie. I understand. Besides, I know that it is my fault. I just want to settle things with Moe.” Louise answered.

Louise and Julie embraced each other.

“I am happy that he has already found the person who can love him unconditionally. You take care of him always okay? He may be a smart person but sometimes he doesn’t know what he is doing.” Louise stated.

“Yeah, very true… Thanks Louise!” Julie smiled.

Exodus opened his radio

“Moe! Good news for you! Julie and Louise finally settled their differences! Isn’t that great?”

No one answered.

“Hey Moe! Are you there?”

Again no one answered.

“Shit! Brian! Is there a car following you?” Exodus called his men in the third car.

“None sir. There are only three of us since we left the place.”

“Damn! There should be four of us! TURN AROUND TURN AROUND!” Exodus ordered.

All of the three vehicles stopped and made a sharp U-turn.

“Go! Hurry!” Exodus added.

“What happened?  Why are we turning back?” Julie worriedly asked.

“Moe is not with us! He was still in Bianca’s house!” Exodus answered.

Suddenly a thought struck Julie I am sorry Julie Moe’s voice echoed.

“He intended to remain there.” Julie realizes.

“Argh Moe! You are so unpredictable!” Exodus shrugged his head.

“We should hurry! Elmo’s life is in danger!” Julie begged.

Elmo took his magnum .357 and loaded it with bullets.

Elmo’s POV

Julie, I am very sorry but I have to do this. I have to clean the mess that I did. This is the only way I could compensate the wrong things that I’ve done to you. I am sorry that I never told you everything… I didn’t truly destroyed PSJ… I only did it because I couldn’t accept the turn of events. I know it is too complicated to explain, but I do hope that soon you will understand. Forgive me for my lies. The truth is I love you and I can’t live my life without you. This is the payment that I should make. It is only me who could settle my past. I have to act in the present for I hope that in the future I will be in your side again. Julie, I love you that is why I have to stop Jean.
