Remember Me

〃14〃

The cold barrel of the gun is no longer pressed against his temple, and Cry is no longer in his face.

Felix was given a chance to leave.

He's filled with relief but at the same time, he's rooted to his spot, watching Cry turn around and start walking across the shop, to the other exit.

He's hesitant.

He wants to say something, but he can't decide what. So instead he slowly takes a step back and when Cry leaves the shop himself, that's when Felix turns around and walks out too.

He doesn't know where to go.

What if Marzia isn't going to come get him at all?

"You're nothing without me."

Its an hour later, when the sun is setting, that Felix realizes that his best chance was Cry. Its been an hour of watching the sky change colors, of sitting there in the cold, that Felix realizes that Marzia isn't going to come get him.

And now, all he is, is alone.

Or is he?

"Felix, you finally left him" Marzia says as she walks up behind him. "Are you okay? I saw he held up a gun to your head." She says and sits down next to him, rubs his shoulder.

Pewds nods. "I'm fine. He knew you were following us, and he didn't want that anymore, so he told me to get out before he kills me, then you." He says.

"I'm gonna kill him, I swear.." She mutters. "Don't. He said to give you a final warning; Stay away from him." Pewds says.

"I'm not scared of him." Marzia scoffs. "You should be." Is all Pewds responds.

"Well now what?" Minx asks Snake lowly, more than a couple feet away from the two. "Pewdie is no longer with Cry, so if we get caught following him, he'll kill us since we no longer have a reason to." She says quietly, putting her hair up into a pony tail.

"Look..." Snake says quietly as well, nods to the left without looking over there. Minx doesnt make it obvious that she's looking, but she looks. "I don't see anything.." She trails off. "Look closer, between the big tree and the office building." Snake offers, and it takes a moment but then Minx see's him.

There's Cry, leaning against the office building, arms crossed.

"He knows." Minx trails off. "And he also saw you looking. We need to move." Snake says, starts walking towards the couple. "We can't abandon our mission Snake" Minx says worriedly. "We arent," Snake mutters off to the side, then speaks up as he approaches Marzia and Felix. "We need to get moving, so let's go."

Pewdie turns back to look at Snake and warily nods. Both him and Marzia stand up and the group starts walking.

Snake looks back at where he saw Cry standing to see if he's still there.

He isn't.

The next morning feels... Off.

There's something different about today.

"I feel uneasy about today. I don't know why." Minx says to Snake while they eat breakfast outside of the house, needing to talk without Marzia or Felix eavesdropping.

"It could be because a psychotic man with a mask is following us, watching us, and we can't do anything about it." Snake replies, hurrying up to eat his fruit because he's starving. "And you wanted to sit out in the open. Either way, we'd know if he was going to show up. Nobody wears a mask like he does, its not hard to point him out." Minx says, sets down her can of food to rub her hands together.
