"Being soft and strong is a combination
Very few have mastered"
Lace reaches Val house and doesn't see Max's or Judy's car which is a bummer. Lace looks at Jonah with a helpless look and he says,
"Ask her where she is." Lace nods and whips out her phone from Jonah's jacket texting Bee.
To: Honeybee
Where are you?
She gets a quick reply.
From: Honeybee
In the woods. Only you should come, leave Jonah in the car.
"You need to stay here, the text says so. You can be the getaway driver" Lace signs leaving no choice for discussion. Jonah sighs and sits back in the car. Lace slowly walks into the lush forest, leaves crunching underneath her steps.
"Lace!" She hears a voice and turns around seeing Bee. Lace runs to Bee hugging her as she shushes the sobbing girl. Lace's nose smells the uncanny smell of blood, her eyes stopping at a bleeding cut and Bee flinching in pain. Lace unties the bandana sitting atop of her head and creates a tourniquet, securing it over the wound when an ominous voice rings out.
"Princess. Come out, come out wherever you are."Lace recognizes the voice as Val and starts to pull Bee along when she stops and pushes Lace behind a tree before whispering,
"He's crazy for you. I need you to stay here, he'll find us anyways and I'll slow you down. Don't try to fight me okay? I dropped my phone in the forest so he knows that I would tell you if I survive. If I die I want you to run okay? Take care of everyone and treat people with kindness okay?" Bee calms down a sobbing Lace. Bee takes off her glasses and the tourniquet and gives them to Lace, who hides behind the tree shamefully. Bee looks back and puts out her pinky finger and Lace does too. Val finds Bee and holds her in a choke hold tightly but not tight enough to kill her. A stunned Lace pulls out her phone and starts to record what's happening.
"Did you think that you could take her away from me huh?" Val darkly stares at Bee who is strongly staring at him. Val chuckles
"Okay. Mrs. Strong, I can see why she would want to hang out with you but I can do so much better. I can give her love and make all her dreams come true-"the statement is ended quickly as Bee kicks Val's crown jewels, Val groans in pain and snaps his fingers. Lace gasps, those people are part of the entente. The men hold Bee down as one of them presents Val with a cooler.
"I've always wanted to do this." Val says and pulls out a sharp ice fragment, stabbing Bee in the heart. Bee screams,blood coming out of her mouth and her eyes turn glassy. Lace ends the video.
"Clean the body up." Val orders the five men,Lace covering her mouth in shock.
"What I would do for you darling. See this sugardoll? I dated this piece of crap just for you." Val says up to the sky as Lace sobs softly.
