~+Tord's P.O.V+~

"Edd, how will we do this?" I asked, panicked. There were police cars surrounding us, commanding the four of us to get out of the car.

"Play along, I know what to do," Edd hastily replied, reaching into his pocket. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Shit. I don't have my lighter with me." I reached into my pocket, pulling out the lighter Tom had given me. Edd looked at me, "Where did you get this?"

"That's not important. Get on with your plan and don't die," I responded, taking the bags of money, handing one to Tom. Edd slipped the lighter into his sleeve before we all got out. He raised his hands into the air as a gesture of surrendering. We all followed along, dropping the money on the floor.

"Place your weapons down in front of you where we can see them," A police officer snarled into his microphone. Tom and I pulled out guns out of their holsters and placing them down in front of us.

"And your gloves..." The police officer continued. 

We all took off our gloves before Edd quickly yelled, "Burn the evidence!" A flame sparked up next to the car. Edd ran off into a person's backyard, hopping the fence. Tom and I grabbed the money, attempting to do the same, but failing due to us being the shortest and the money holding us back.

Matt quickly rushed up behind us and boosted us up to the top, managing to climb over before the cops could reach him. We all hopped another shorter fence that lead into a wide wheat field. 

"Split up," Edd hurriedly said.

"No thanks Fred. I don't have enough Scooby snacks to split up and get lost and killed off like some horror movie," Tom snarkily hissed, " We all stick together."

Edd rolled his eyes before nodding. We all rushed as a group in random directions, hoping to lose the police. That didn't even come close to working. My legs decided to give up on me, causing me to fall onto the dirt ground. I was grabbed from under my arms and picked up. I worriedly looked around, only to see that everyone else was still running off.

Someone who I had assumed to be the chief officer called off the other officers, saying that i'd provide all the information they needed. Edd and the rest of the gang escaped. I wriggled slightly, trying to escape, but only earning a tighter grip on my arms. The chief walked up to me as I mournfully hung my head, giving up on escaping. The chief officer placed two fingers under my chin, lifting my head up. I growled slightly, only receiving a chuckle from the officer in response. 

"Don't hang your head like that. You'll be useful. You'll get to tell us where your little friends are," The chief said with a grin. "But first, let's see who's face is under that mask."

The chief's hands touched my mask, beginning to pull the mask off. At that moment, I realized that I'd just let my whole group down. We would all be a disgrace to the school. We'd be a disgrace to our family... We'd go to jail...

There were two loud gunshots.

I landed on the ground. The chief's hands slipped off my mask. My ear burned with pain as what I assumed to be blood dripped down from a chunk of it, falling down and splattering the ground below me. I looked up, seeing a certain cola-boy with a mask, holding a gun. The other police officer's took out their guns, pointing them at Edd. He laughed slightly, dropping his gun and pulling a fucking axe out of his backpack, which he seemed to have gotten out of nowhere.

Edd made his work quick, managing to efficiently kill the group of officers with the sharp weapon. He moved so quick that I don't even think any of the police officers could aim correctly! Honestly, I was impressed. For me, it was hard to use a weapon like that and not accidentally cut my own head off. Edd, with his bloodstained mask, hugged me, shaking a bit.

"Don't. Ever. Do that. Again," He whispered, his tone a bit weak.

"God.. I guess love makes you a bit crazy, doesn't it? You didn't even get shot," I smiled, laughing slightly.

Edd coughed slightly, a bit of blood dripping out from under his mask, "L-Let's just get going before things get worse," He replied, his voice shaking. He let go of me, turning around and heading back to where he'd dropped his gun. 

Worried, I looked at him from head to toe, trying to figure out where he'd been injured. Now, he'd made it obvious that someone had managed to shoot him. My eyes rested on his hip, where something seemed to be lodged in his side. I ran up behind him, quickly picking him up. Edd winced, shifting slightly. 

"Where are the others?" I quickly asked. Edd pointed to a tree off in the distance. I nodded, quickly picking up Edd's gun and running toward the tree.

Sorry if I ever seem like a jerk for never replying to comments, I'm not very good with talking to people---- or anything social at all, really.

I've been thinking about doing a little "ask the characters random stuff" type of thing, but idk- Just a random idea I got.

Also releasing chapters a bit early since I'm doing a sleep away camp type thing next week and I need some time to write the next two chapters-
