"There went the neighborhood," was all Perry Malinowski could say.

She was currently sitting at Dennis's desk in his office. She was actually sitting on the desk, as there were only two chairs in the office. Dennis was sitting behind the desk, while Agent Jim Block was sitting in front of it.

"Why are you here, Miss Malinowski?" Block asked.

"Someone died in the factory below." She shrugged. "I've seen enough people die already."

"Have you talked to Peter? According to Dennis, he's been acting... weird. He claims that all the survivors are supposed to die."

"He's not wrong," Perry muttered.

"Hmm?"

She shook her head. Hopping off the desk, she faced Dennis. "I'm going to the factory, you wanna join?"

Dennis nodded. "Is Candice there? Corporate gave me her commisionary check, along with her internship bonus."

"She should be?"

---------------------

Candice, Molly, Sam, Peter, and Nathan were standing by the crime scene.

Billy walked over to them. He stood a few feet from Sam, and grinned.

"For the first time since the bridge collapse, I actually feel useful," Billy said, and he wasn't surprised when everyone shuddered. Everyone except Sam, who was just looking at him.

"How?" Nathan asked.

" the guy that died? His name is Roy farmer. And I know that, because he used to be my heroin dealer. I know, shocking, Roy used to sell heroin... But trust me, that dude completely deserved to die," he wrung his hands, then muttered, "Fuck it," burying himself in Sam's embrace.

"Sam, look. I'm not going to pretend that the a whole tutor thing is not creeping me out, but all that aside, I think you should go to Paris. You, Molly, and Peter are the only three left on Death's list. And besides, I applied for the summer trip to Paris. So it's not like we won't see each other," Billy said.

"I don't exactly like being alone," Sam admitted.

"Take Molly?" Candice offered. She pushed her hair back.

Sam turned to Molly, and she nodded, grinning.

As Dennis and Perry walking to the factory, they saw the mortician, William bludworth, pushing out the dead body. When Perry got a good look at it, she laughed derisively.

"Oh, my god, that's Billy's ex heroin dealer," she wheezed.

Dennis ignored what she said, instead of walking up to the remaining survivors. "Who wants to be the first tell me what the fuck is going on?"

As usual, no one really listened to Dennis.

"Did you kill him?" Peter asked Nathan, grabbing his jacket.

"What the fuck? Peter, let him go!" Candice pulled him off.

"Did you kill him?!"

Nathan looked down, and nodded.

"Welcome to safety club," Candice joked.

"Sam, what was the order?" Billy implored.

"Candice was first, Isaac was second, Olivia was third, Nathan was fourth, Molly was safe..."

"Why the fuck does she get to live?" Peter asked.

"I don't deserve it more than any of you," Molly said.

"Luck of the motherfuking draw," Billy drawled sarcastically.

"Who is fifth?!" Peter yelled.

---------------------

And this is where Billy tears down the fourth wall. No one else could see or hear him, it was as if they were frozen. Now, he faces you, the reader. He's currently wearing a completely black T-shirt, with black skinny jeans to top off the ensemble. However, he's also wearing blue nikes.

" I know, I know, I'm tearing down the fourth fuckingwall talking to you. I'm not the only one with this ability, though. If any of you guys are paying attention so far, let's go through what's happened so far."

"When the North Bay Bridge collapsed, Sam had a vision, we're all of his coworkers, except for Molly, died. He was able to save some of his co-workers, but because they cheated death, they would have all died one by one."

"Candice should have been first to die. But because I stepped in the way, she was spared, and her rival Portia took her place. Isaac Palmer was second, followed by Olivia Castle. According to Sam currently, Nathan was 4th, but if you remember, William bludworth told us that we had two options; kill or be killed. In this case, Nathan accidentally killed Roy."

"I don't really want to be Mister Spoiler Alert, but sometimes, these idiots do not pay attention to anything. Now, I hope you're keeping an eye on that wrench that's hovering over the still spinning belt, though half of it is lying on the vibrating machine right fucking next to it. Because it was put there last chapter. And the only reason I know that, is because the writer told me that."

---------------------

Billy sighed, then put the fourth wall back up. And as soon as he did that, everything unfroze.

"Who's what?" Dennis asked.

Perry attempted to sneak up on Dennis, as the wrench dropped into the belt, an was sent flying, burying itself in Dennis's head. Dennis's body landed in Perry's arms.

"Dennis!" Sam screamed. "It was Dennis!"

"No shit?" Nathan snapped exasperatedly.

Try not to look at the body that was in her arms, Perry looked up a Nathan. Most everyone was in shock, also covered in blood, but what confuse Perry of all was at the blood on Nathan's face formed the number 9... Which made her think that Nathan would be the ninth to die.

And, that is one thing Perry would never tell Amber. Girlfriend or best friend or whatever.

"You know, this is the third person you've seen die. It's like death wants to give you a front row seat to his personal fun game," Peter said darkly. "And don't tell me this is the second person you've seen die, because I found out about Olivia.

He slowly stepped towards her, pushing the body out of her arms. "I get why Hitchcock is here, he's Sam's boyfriend and Candice's practical brother. I get why Carla comes around, she's Candice's literal twin sister. But if you don't back off, I will -"

"You'll what?" Perry asked incredulously. "Push me in front of a bus? Throw a flag pole through my chest? If I remember correctly, Sam had the vision, which means he's the last to die. You're next, Peter Friedkin. You're living on borrowed time, so you better make the most of it, because if you somehow managed to cheat Death a second time, I'm gonna fucking kill you myself."

Sometimes, Perry doesn't think about what she says in certain environments, and she's never been one to look around and make sure she's safe to say what's on her mind... But this is how she got herself in prison.

Because during that whole monologue she just said, a cop was right behind her.
