He stared at the bodies on the ground, at the girl covered in blood.

Her eyes narrowed as she stood up.

"Your late." She says in a monotone voice, whistling a toon.

A guy walks out from the bathroom,  "Oh? Did we get what we needed?" He questions.

The girl, Hope, who was also the murderer, sighs, "Yeah, But our getaway driver was terribly late."

The man, Peter, who was the getaway driver, smiles, "Yep~ Sorry sorry, I stopped for Starbucks at the book store about an hour ago, but got caught up in stuff~ Oh oh! I also-"

"No one caaares! I-" The Guy, Daniel, Who was the one who called the police, attempts to interrupt.

"No no you really should look. She's a real...beauty." Peter smirks, opening the back of his van and fumbling through a patch of blankets.

"Peter, if you're gonna show us your favorite blanket we don't-"

Peter reveals a girl; Black hair, pale skin, blue eyes. She's tied up pretty tightly but doesn't seem to be harmed. Though she had noticeable marks around her neck, as though someone strangled her.

"Ta da! Meet Winter! She was the stuff I got caught up in! She's a little scared right now though..." Peter introduces, sitting beside her and leaning over to get a better look at her eyes.

"Peter...we don't...mess with people like that..." Daniel trails off, looking the girl up and down with predator-like look in his eyes.

Hope sighs over dramatically, climbing into the van and holding out her hand, "Hey! I'm Hope and I'll probably be your best friend through all this! I would let you go but you've already seen our faces and know Peter's name. Don't make this difficult."
Winter nods, her eyes tearing. Hope turns towards Peter quickly, her red hair slapping Daniel who had walked behind her.
"Peter get in the damn car, you too Daniel. I'm gonna make this girl more comfy, you perverts."

Peter nods, climbing up to the drivers seat. Daniel follows his lead.

Hope starts to untie Winter as the car starts up, "I really am sorry about this." She sighs, taking the gag out of her mouth.

Winter takes a deep breath before shaking her head, "No no this is...this is my fault. I was being a bitch, I should've known not to trust a guy with a van."

Hope smiles slightly from her joke, before noticing she was naked and putting a hand over her mouth questioningly. Winter notices and her cheeks flush with color,
"Uhm- It's- They're-" She stutters.

Hope looks up at Winter, unimpressed, before turning her head over to Peter, who was having a conversation with Daniel, "Like Honhonhon oui oui baguette" He says in a French accent, making Daniel laugh.

"Honhon baguette ze red wine oui oui" Daniel mocks, laughing louder.

"I could maybe do-"

"Peter!" Hope interrupts, making Winter jump.

"Ye boss lady?" Peter answers, still looking at the road as they got on a highway. Daniel immediately looks away, acting like they never had a conversation.

"Where'd Winter clothes go?" Hope asks, folding her arms.

"I threw them somewhere back there. They were slutty, so I thought we could take a small break to go shopping, Yeah?" Peter offers, oddly calm about the situation.

Hope sighs, "Yeah I gues I could relax a bit. In the meantime you can wear my clothes." Hope tosses Winter a black dress as she takes off her top.

Peter puts on a black medical mask. Daniel put on a dark blue one and Hope wore a red one. She handed Winter a white one as they all stepped out the van.

"So! Here's the plan! I'm taking Winter." Hope explains, wrapping an arm around Winters neck.

"'Kay! Me and Danny are gonna go Shoplifting~" Peter hums, lifting his black hood and rushing off. Daniel rushes after him, tilting his baseball cap down.

Hope looks at Winter, before calmly walking inside, "I want to make this as comfortable for you as possible. So don't go babbling for help. I know how it feels to be kidnapped, and trust me, Peter doesn't like tattletales."

"What? Did he..?"

"Mhm~ Though I don't think my story is the same as yours. My bro owes him some money, so I traded myself. I'm pretty comfortable here, though and I've been upgraded to boss. Kind of." She Laughs.

Winter nods.

"So! What kind of clothes do you like, Snowflake? I think dark colors would really compliment your skin tone! Come come!" Hope smiles as she rushes into a store.

Winter considers for a moment to wonder off, but decided against it and follows Hope. She never thought she'd trust a murderer.
