Chap. 4: I'll Light a Candle For You Every Day

Masky narrates

Damn it, it's been three days since the Tics Boy left the cabin and Hoodie is pressuring me to find him, he says it's my fault. And that's true.

Let's make this straight, i don't feel guilty not even a bit. Rogers is a dumbass, he is useless and all he can do is being annoying.

Still, i don't want anything to happen to him.

It would be so stupid of me to allow that... and then have to handle Hoodie and the Operator.

So i looked for him, couldn't find him.

I spent the whole damn day looking for this dumb—that left by his own choice—all over the city.

Fuck this, he made his choice.

It was night already, i was walking on the streets freely. I heard patrol sirens and went that direction. They could be looking for him too.

There was a patrol in front of a restaurant, i saw two bodies. A young man, a girl was crying next to him maybe his girlfriend. The second body, a fat man, maybe he tried to catch the killer and ended up dead.

I walked towards the back exit, maybe he came out that way.

Indeed, he was there.

It was him.

He was behind a dumpster.

—Get up, we're leaving. The pigs are here.

He said nothing, didn't move, had tics in the eye.

—Toby get up!

—I'm not going anywhere with you! —now he was looking at me.

That took me by surprise, he never yelled at me.

His bad attitud was enough for me to leave him alone and let the cops kill o arrest him.

I grabbed him by his clothes again and forced him to get up. A little necklace fell from his hands, i recognized it.

Next thing that happened a cop.

He was coming out through the back exit, so i hid behind the door so i could kill him by his back.

Stupid Rogers didn't move, he was standing there with his head down, like he wanted to be seen.

I can't believe it.

The cop saw him, he noticed the blood and took his gun, he was pointing at him.

I went straight to cut his throat.

The sound of a gunshot stunned me.

I was too slow...
