Max comes around and tries moving but can't. She looks down and notices her arms strapped to the chair she's in, as are her feet. She also notices she's wearing a shirt that's not hers.
"Oh no.... the dark room." Jefferson walks in and smiles as he looks at Max. He picks up his camera and starts taking pictures.
"The perfect shot. You were such a good student Max, you just got too nosey. But these shots more than make up for it. He doses her again and she passes out. When she comes to again the cart that was on the other side of the room is now closer to her. She wiggles her right foot free and moves it closer to her.
"Max, Max, Max. The company you keep is far too nosey as well. With that blue haired girl now dead, and that Carswell fugitive dead as well, nobody can stop me." Jefferson talks in an almost monologue.
"Max!!!" I stumble into the room with Chloes gun in my hand, holding my chest.
"You! I shot you in the heart, how are you still alive?!"
"Fuck you! You killed my girlfriend and taking disturbing pictures of my best friend. I'm gonna-" Jefferson pulls out his gun and shoots me in the head. Right next to the couch.
"Foolish bastard. Should've bled out." Jefferson says as Max sees a picture on the tray of her and Chloe from when they were kids. She focuses hard and something happens. Everything starts shifting as Max appears as her 13 year old self in Chloes living room.
"Max, are you staying for dinner?" William calls from the kitchen.
"Duh dad, of course she is." Young Chloe says as they start laughing.
"Whoa what the fuck?" Max thinks to herself. "This is right before William died." She looks around as the phone rings. William answers it and it's Joyce.
"I have to go help your mother with ye old groceries. Grub a plenty for the hungry folk." William says as he hangs up the phone. "Where are my damn keys?"
"You owe a dollar to the swear jar!" Chloe calls out.
"You mean your college fund!" William hollers back. He looks on the kitchen table, the counter, and finally looks under his hat. "Ah found ya!" He goes to walk out the door as Max rewinds to when William is on the phone. She runs over to the table and picks up William keys.
What to do with these so he can't leave?
She drops them into the sink of dishes and the water kills the finder.
"I have to go help your mother with ye old groceries. Grub a plenty for the hungry folk." William says as he hangs up the phone. "Where are my damn keys?"
"You owe a dollar to the swear jar!" Chloe calls out.
"You mean your college fund!" William hollers back. He looks on the kitchen table, the counter, and finally looks under his hat. "Where are those fucking keys?"
"Another dollar to the swear jar!"
"Guess I'll have to take the bus, you two stay out of trouble and have fun." William walks out the door and time slows down to an almost stop.
Max comes back to, and she's sitting in a circle with Victoria, Taylor, Courtney, Juliet, Dana and myself.
"Earth to Maxine. Are you there?" Victoria calls out as Max looks around. She notices me holding Dana's hand and gives me a weird look.
