“Are you okay?”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZAv9bNAIhB
“How did I get here?”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAsa89XDeHTy
“You died. Three nice people came by and told us about your condition and our doctors and surgeons removed the object that was pierced in your stomach.”
“Three?” Azenith asks. “Who were they?”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAvfjvu6QkLe
“One of them was an ice dragon named Joe, A flower lady named Cassie, and the Mayor, Carolyn.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAMVrMKrZowT

58Please respect copyright.PENANABjLQhWkcd8
The group walks inside the cafeteria. Whispers in the cafeteria started to rise. They find a table to sit at.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA3yZE5iKi2o
“Seems quiet today.” Justine said.
“They’re probably whispering about you getting dropped off by the mayor or your face.” Raya said. !
58Please respect copyright.PENANAIXLmieSMq1
“I legit had to use Carolyn’s makeup set just to hide the bruises!”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAzUts260JQJ
“Well it looks like it didn’t work.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAOg4bhVOg2s
“PISS!”
58Please respect copyright.PENANA5c27Lz8FTV
“Well at least it's not noticeable to the point where teachers will find out.” Cerena said.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAJisUkp8nRw
“Desert Meadows admin will find out about anything that seems suspicious. They’re like hawks. CCSD is pretty lucky disabling powers during school hours because it wouldn’t be pretty.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAuo41JZC3EW

58Please respect copyright.PENANAa8lkDS2VAx

“Not my problem, I destroyed an elementary school on the way here.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAqqfjgaGnvp
“You didn’t-”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAsmquNlOIRI
“Take a good look at C.C. Ronald down the street.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAH4PcgutgaL
Carolyn looks at the smoke flowing in the sky, firefighters, Metro Police, and the hospital arrive at the scene. Carolyn stood there, lost in the smoke, speechless. Michele laughs.
58Please respect copyright.PENANARqaeTvuQyw
“Not my best work but the kids need to go to school somehow.” Michele continued. “At 12PM today, this school will be shattered into bits.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAXvgTDFRic5
“You son of a bitch–” Carolyn said, throwing a punch towards Michele. Michele catches the punch, breaking her wrist.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAzhFeqzSwDl

58Please respect copyright.PENANAKZADvzbwSY
“Y’all better be here around 12PM, Maddie and Enzo and don’t dilly dally okay?” Michele disappears.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAJEYtWVnsHs

“Still?”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAlv6nQPsuEr
“You have to do it, Mad. You’re going to get yourself killed.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAr8C3lRX2Oi
Maddie groans. “Fine… I'll do it.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAoDBLxwzR0E
“You really don’t have to do this, Maddie if you don’t want to.” Carolyn said.
58Please respect copyright.PENANASC99Hsii7e
“I’ll do it.” Maddie said. She grabs her guitar, walking away.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAXsA7sBiH3N
“Maddie?! Wait for me please!” Enzo said, following her. Carolyn watches them run off. She smiles softly and disappears. Minutes later, Enzo finally catches up with Maddie. She sits on top of the announcer box of the Desert Meadows Football field.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAU7uBBmiaTB
“Maddie!” he yelled. Maddie turns around, stops playing her bass axe guitar. Enzo flies up to the announcer’s box. He lands and walks up to her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAG0xSK4ivVV
“You don’t mind if I sit here?”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAYhX4p9ujHA
“No. go ahead.”
Enzo sits down next to Maddie.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAM0puebBicJ
“Why did you leave? Is something wrong?” Enzo asks.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAYhvZIBd2T8
“Nothing is wrong…” Maddie sighs, “I-I don’t want to blow up the school. Actually, I don’t want to be in the mafia at all. All I wanted to do was make a band just you and me and I thought Michele was going to give us that opportunity but she set us up doing something stupid just to take over Las Vegas just for what..”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAXvliTLh0os
“Aw man… Well… We’re still a band with or without Michele. I mean, we did perform for the arcade tournament yesterday afternoon. That was our first gig.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAK4DXLaQsqT
“Yeah, our first gig to Hypnotize innocent People!”
Silence roams in the air between the angels. Maddie continues.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA0rBABZ0FRC
“I want to quit the mafia, Enzo… I hate that I was so gullible to even let Michele help us. I knew she was setting us up for failure. She is fake… 108 Strat isn’t going where I wanted to go.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAn6suI1sTqt
Enzo thinks for a moment.
“You know what, I’m going to quit too…”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAHBVu02lByz
Maddie’s eyes widened.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAS3IpgkU57Q
“Enzo, you don’t have to do this for me.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANAOjoSeTa4lL
“I’m your friend and I hate to see you upset. I want to build 108 Strat with you the right way.”
58Please respect copyright.PENANA65LtRHhUXy
Maddie smiles. “Thank you Enzo.”
She hugs him, Enzo hugs her back, smiling. Maddie breaks up the hug.

“I heard…” Azenith replied. “I wonder why though, I mean… What is it that we don’t know now?”

58Please respect copyright.PENANAaWioDqY3wf
