"It's not difficult with you dead" One of them sneered, taking a step toward Caden threateningly. The other copied him and took a step as well. Luke smirked at them

"Damn,ya'll really don't understand do you?" Caden says,pressing the trigger and letting the rifle shoot all around him before he pulled the trigger on his pistol,hoping for it to shoot Luke through the head since,well,he had him at gunpoint.

Luke slumped to the floor, dead.

She texted Caden, checking in. U good?

"Idiots." Caden muttered below the chaos,darting out of the house quickly.A pain sharpened in his leg but he ignored it,that was'nt the focus so he did'nt care.He pulled up to the house,looking at his leg and cursing under his breath,walking in.Caden searched for Rose,a wil yet satisfied look in his eyes.His hands had blood on them,but he ignored that.

Rose heard the bike and walked downstairs. She saw Caden and smiled, walking to him and wrapping her arms around him. "Thank you" she murmured, greatfull for him and what he'd do for her

Caden said nothing,not hugging her back.He just stared at the floor,his hands,and his turning red leg.He had'nt done it for fun,and he was'nt going to do it again.

Rose looked at him, her smile dropping. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" She asked, backing up and glancing him up and down

"Not now." He says,brushing past her into his study.Caden locked the door behind him,walking into the bathroom and washing off his hands.He came out,staring into the space filled with machienery,books,drawers,a safe,the keys.Where were the keys?Caden's eyes went wide,barging out of the study and headin upstars,grabbing the keys before retreating back to the study and again,locking the door behind him.Caden rolled up his pant leg,wincing at the sight.The bullet was still there.And with practiced movements,he quickly removed it and wrapped it,rolling his pant leg back down.

"Caden?" She asked as he walked past. "Okay..." She said, nodding but worried. She walked upstairs and sat on the bed, pulling out her phone

Caden started pulling things up,seeing the recent police report. "Oh my god..oh my freaking god.No,not again." He mutters,standing and walking out of the study.The screen read:

Death of resident.
