It's evening now and the sun is starting to set in Paris. The sky is the most beautiful shade of orange, yellow and blue, and while everyone else is at the hotel, Kim and Alix and Max are sitting at the park eating ice cream that they got from André's a few minutes ago.
Alix is sitting in the tree, opposite to Max and Kim, who are sitting on the ground with their backs pressed against the truck of the tree.
Kim: So, Max, what was this "surprise" you have for us?
Alix: Is it good or bad?
Kim: Will there be cake?
Max: There won't be any cake.
Kim: Awww.
Max: The news isn't exactly...good...
Alix: Is it bad or is it horrendous?
Max: It's the kind of news that'll make you wanna die.
Kim: That bad, huh?
Max: So... I- I'm-
Alix: Out with it, Max. I'm sure it's not that bad-
Max: I'M MOVING TO THE U.S!
Everything goes quiet and there is a sudden thick tension in the air.
Kim: Haha... It almost sounded like you said you were moving...
Alix: To- To the states...
Max: I...I did...
Alix: Why?
Max: My mom accepted the promotion of CEO, so now we have to move to the states for her work...
Kim: So...she's the CEO of the Startrain company now?
Max: Yeah...
Alix: And you're moving to the states, like, permanently?
Max: Mhm mhm...
Kim: When do you leave?
Max: Don't get mad but...
Alix: But?
Max: I leave tonight...
Alix: WHAT!?
Alix falls out of the tree and lands on her head on the ground.
Alix: Ow...
Max/Kim: Are you ok!?
Alix: Yeah, don't worry... I've taken harder blows to the head than that.
Kim: Ok, but back to you, Max!
Alix: Yeah! What the hell, man!?
Max: I just found out this morning, don't get mad at me! It was short notice!
Kim: What time does your flight leave?
Max: Tonight at 11:45...
Alix: What!? But it's already after 8!
Kim: Well, we just gotta make the most of the last 3 hours!
Alix: Yeah, let's go!
Alix and Kim grab Max's hands and they start running to their first spot.
Max: Where are we going?
Kim: Y'know that trampoline park you've been dying to go to?
Max: No way! That place is like, fifty dollars per person!
Alix: Ok? I always carry a hundred on me.
Kim: Me too. You never know when you're gonna need it.
Max: You never know when you're gonna get mugged either.
Alix: True, but you still never know.
Max: Can we stop running now? My legs hurt.
Alix and Kim pick Max up and put him on their shoulders and continue running to the trampoline park.
Kim: All hail, King Maximus!
Alix: Yeah- wait, what? You're telling me...his name is short for, pft- Max- Maximus?
Max: Don't laugh! Your name's probably short for Alexandra or something!
Alix: And what if it is?
Kim: Is it!?
Alix: ...yeah...
Max: Pft-
Kim: This is rich!
Alix/Max: Can it, Kimberly!
Kim: Kimber-
Max: Obstacle!
Alix and Max jump over some traffic cones and keep running.
Max: Impressive.
Alix/Kim: Thanks.
They make a right at the top of the next street and come to find the trampoline park is bring shut down.
Max: What the hell...?
He gets off of Alix and Kim's shoulders and walks to the gates to read a sign that's on the doors.
Max: "Due to numerous lawsuits and the number of injuries that have been filed and caused at this park, we are obligated to shut it down immediately.
Under no circumstances will anyone be permitted to enter the park.
We apologize for any inconveniences that this has caused for you."
Kim: Well... If no one sees us, then it isn't a problem, right?
Max: What!?
Alix: You're talking about commiting a crime! Trespassing is a crime!
Max: Not to mention that it's private property.
Kim: But it was made for the public! They can't take it away just like that!
Max: If we're talking legally, the Government can.
Alix: Yeah, and it's not like we can just climb the fence and-
Max: Don't give him ideas, Alix!
Alix gasps and covers her mouth, but it's too late. The idea's already set in his mind.
Kim: We're climbing the fence!
Max: Way to go, Skater Girl!
Alix: Oh, like you can stop him, Tech Nerd!
Max: ...aaaand he's climbing the fence.
Alix: Well, he's not coming back, so...
Max: (Sigh) Fine, let's go before someone sees us.
Alix: Yes!
Max and Kim climb the fence and start running around the park to find Kim. They find him eating some surprisingly fresh food at a nearby hot dog stand.
Kim: These are some great hot dogs!
Max: Are you sure those are...safe to eat?
Kim: Yeah, they're still hot. Here, have a few.
He gives each of them a hot dog and goes back to eating.
Alix: You got any mustard?
Kim: Yeah, here.
He tosses her a bottle of mustard and tops Max's hot dog off with onions.
Max: Thanks...
Kim: You're welcome.
Alix: Can we hit a few trampolines after?
Max: Sure! After we find an ice cream stand!
Kim: Maybe some pretzels.
Alix: Oh! I wanna see if they have any cotton candy like the carnivals!
Max: Oh yeah!
They finish their hot dogs and go running around the whole park having fun. While their busy spending their time together everyone's back at the hotel running around in a full on panic.
Chloe: What the fuck do you mean you don't know where she is!?
Kacey: I don't know! She said she was going to the store, and she hasn't been here for 3 whole hours! What do you want me to do!?
Lila: Call her!?
Kacey: Don't you think I've tried!? She's not answering, dumbass!
Luka: Let's all calm down and think. Where could she have gone for 3 hours?
Nino: She could've gone to the dojo?
Marc: Closed.
Nino: The fight club?
Nathaniel: Doesn't open 'till late at night.
Nino: The training center?
Juleka: She's not registered yet.
Ivan: Didn't you say you ran into Adrien today, Nino?
Nino: Yeah, but, you don't think...
Jason: He didn't...
Chloe: N-No...
Kacey: Chloe, track her location and send it to me. I'm taking my bike. You coming, Nino?
Nino: Fuck yeah, I've a score to settle with that bastard anyway!
Jason: Here, man, take my bike.
Jason tosses Nino his helmet and both the guys run out the hotel to go find Marinette.
Kagami: My mom just texted...
Luka: Is something wrong?
Kagami: She... She wants to fence now.
Luke: Now? Now, of all times, your mother-
Kagami: I know, but...she isn't changing her mind.
Luka: Damn... Let's go... I-I'm ready.
Kagami: You sure? 'Cause you look like you're gonna shit your pants.
Luka: I'm good. Let's do this!
He picks up Kagami's saber sword and runs out the door with her just as Chloe finds Marinette's location.
Chloe: She's in East Side, Paris!
She shares the location with Kacey, now all they can do is wait.
Kacey's phone goes off with a notification of Marinette's location and he speed up on the bike along with Nino.
Kacey: I got the location! Let's go, bro!
He speeds up in the empty street and Nino follows behind him annoyed as hell.
Nino: Don't call me bro, I still don't approve!
Kacey: I don't care!
Forty-five minutes pass and they've finally reached the east side of Paris. They drive a little longer before they see the limo parked in front of an abandoned apartment complex.
They run into the building and each check a separate floor considering the fact that the building is only two stories (no wonder that building isn't in good business).
Every door that they check is locked, so they have to kick it in to check the room they're at. They kick in almost half the doors on each floor before Kacey hears something metal banging against the floor in the room he's in front of.
He kicks in the door and finds Marinette hitting the floor with a metal bar that was ripped from the wall, making holes in the floor. They then start scraping the bar on the floor; carving a message into the floor boards. "Look out for-"
Kacey runs to them and covers their exposed body with some sheets off the floor and unties the rag covering their mouth.
Marinette: You- You've gotta leave! NOW!
Kacey: What...?
Marinette: He has-
Five men in black and white suits enter the room with a beaten, bloody and bruised in one of the guy's arms before they throw him on the ground like a rag doll.
Marinette: Hitmen...looking for you...
Kacey: Ah...Hey, guys...
They all continue looking at him with stone cold glares. He gets up and holds out a pack of gum.
Kacey: Want a stick?
He moves in front of the 4th guys and waves it in his face.
Kacey: Nice and minty~!
The man smacks it out of his hand and Kacey nervously chuckles when the 2nd guy starts speaking.
Guy Number 2: You can play the hero all you want little boy, but Mr. Agreste's already had his fun with that little whore.
Kacey clenches his teeth so hard he could've sworn he headed one crack while the other guys laugh at Marinette who has their head down in shame, humiliation and embarrassment clutching onto the metal bar so hard that the jagged pieces of it start digging into he hands making them bleed.
Kacey: I'm bouta have MY fun with YOUR face in a minute.
Guy Number 5: Oh, really? What're you gonna do? You gonna throw your little studs at us?
Guy Number 3: Nah, man, he's gonna take off his shoe and hit us upside the head with it.
Kacey: So you got my fucking file, big whoop! But, did you read the part about me being Russian too?
Guy Number 4: Yeah, what of it, brat?
Kacey: You really gonna call me a brat after I was 10 inches inside your mom- AHH!
The fourth guy punches him in the face breaking his jaw making him land on the ground with blood spilling from his mouth into a puddle.
Guy Number 1: Can't even fight back? How sad.
Guy Number 3: Well, we'd love to stay and play, NOT, but we were sent to do a job and there's no use keeping your payment on hold, now, is there?
Marinette throws the bar at the third man and a deep cut forms on the side of his face.
Guy Number 3: GAH!! STUPID LITTLE BITCH!
He raises his gun to them and goes to shoot when Kacey finally gets to his feet and lunges for the gun. He is unsuccessful seeing as he's still trying to shake the aftershock of the blow to the jaw.
Before he can even get in close to the man, two of the others get a hold of him and hold him down making him look directly at Marinette who is now on the brink of death with the man standing behind them with the gun pressed to the back of their head.
Guy Number 3: I'm not that cruel. Any last words?
Marinette: Yeah, I've got a few. Tell Agreste that I wouldn't date him to save my life! And make sure he listens very well to this next part because I know he's got eyes and ears in ever blind spot of this room. You may have raped me you sick bastard, but remember this, the first dick I sucked was NOT yours!
They start laughing, but that laugh fest is cut short when the guy hits them upside the head with the gun.
Marinette: FUCK YOU!
Guy Number 1: What about you, Pretty boy? Any last words before we kill you too?
Kacey: Go...fuck...yourself.
Guy Number three takes his gun out and hits Kacey across the face and that big cut reopens again turning black and blue this time.
Kacey: Your mom...-'s a whore.
He gives a small pity laugh to himself and prepares to swim with the fishes when the guy shoves the gun in his face. Both Marinette and Kacey prepare for death giving each other one final look before they die.
Marinette/Kacey: I love you...
They both close their eyes and wait for both the men to pull the trigger, but it doesn't come when some people busy through the border up windows and start taking out the guys one by one.
Marinette: What the...?
Before they can comprehend what's going on the guy that was behind them drops to the ground dead with blood spilling from multiple wounds inflicted on his body.
Girl 1: This is so cool!
Boy 1: Why are you so surprised? It was your idea!
Girl 2: It may have been her idea, but you know most of her ideas don't work out.
Boy 1: True.
Girl 1: Hey! Your supposed to be on my side here!
Boy 2: And you're supposed to be the creative one with the creative ideas!
The biggest guy rips up the chains holding Marinette to the ground and the girls go through some duffle bags and give them some clothes. While one of the holds the sheet up the other uses a hair pin to pick the lock of the shackles and helps Marinette get changed.
The guys take some first aid kits from their bags and start patching Kacey and an unconscious Nino's wounds.
Marinette: Who- Who are you guys? And- And why did you help- help us?
Boy 1: Because you were in trouble and we were in the area. Plus, we got a tip off saying someone was hiring hitmen and we wanted to check it out.
Girl 1: Well, that and the fact that women gotta protect our fellow women.
Boy 2: What about men?
Girl 1: You have your bro code let us women win for once damn!
Boy 2: Ok, ok, sorry!
Girl 2: Not you being scared of my sister.
Girl 1: Not you talking like you ain't do shit the first time you met him.
Girl 2: He kisses me damn!
Boy 2: You had the option to push me off.
Girl 2: Fuck you, asshat!
Boy 1: We know you wanna, but save that shit for marriage.
Girl 2/Boy 2: Marriage!?
Boy 1: Ok! So, his jaw is more out of place then broken. It is still broken, but if I can lock it back into place then he should be fine until he gets to the hospital.
He takes a clean heavy duty cloth out of his bag and puts it in Kacey's mouth.
Boy 1: You're gonna feel some slight pain and extreme discomfort.
He holds the top of Kacey's head and punches upward making contact with his jaw causing him to scream in pain.
Kacey: DAMN! FUCK! SON OF A BITCH! AHH! SHIT! FUCKING HELL!
Boy 2: He said you were gonna feel some extreme discomfort.
Kacey: Thank...you...? Who are you guys?
Girl 1: Call me, Canvas.
Boy 1: Just call me, Linebacker.
Girl 2: Cardinal.
Boy 2: Fake out.
Marinette: Those are very creative names.
Boy 2: All thanks to me!
The girl that's holding up the sheet drops it when Marinette finishes changing leaving Kacey...a mess. A whole damn mess.
Marinette: What...? Does it look that bad?
Kacey: NO! I-I mean- N-No. No, it's not- You- It was- I'm- You look-
Girl 2: Great right?
Kacey: U-Uhm- No- I mean- I mean, yes! Yes! You look- Did I already say that? Beautiful look you say to meant I! I-I mean-
Boy 1: Well, we've gotta bounce, but if anyone asks about how these men were... y'know... You did it and it was self defense because they had guns. You got me?
Kacey: Y-Yeah...
Boy 2: But before that.
He moves a finger in front of Kacey's face and he follows, but his eyes lag and go back to tracing Marinette's figure each time.
Boy 2: Can you say the alphabet for me, buddy?
Kacey: U-uh- X, T, Y, B-
Boy 2: Ok, then. It was great meeting you nice people, but we've really gotta bounce.
Girl 1: Bye! We hope to meet you again!
Girl 2: You can keep the clothes! They look great on you!
Marinette: Th-Thank you...
They jump back out the windows just as Nino wakes up holding his bandaged head.
A/N: There was a reference to something, but can anyone figure out what that reference is?
Nino: Ow...
Marinette: Nino!
Nino: Gah! P-Please don't yell? My head is pounding right now...
Marinette: Sorry...
Nino looks around the room seeing all the guys laying dead and then back at Kacey who's covered in blood.
Nino: D-Did you do...all this?
Kacey: W-Well...
Marinette: Yeah, bro! He took the metal bar, right? And was all like: Bam! Bam! With the first two guys! Then he turned around and hit the fifth guy in his face too! Then he took the other two guys' guns and just- He just shoots them like: Boom! Boom! But they aren't dead yet, so-
Nino: Ok, ok! I-I get- get the picture... Nice work, Arcs.
Kacey: Does this mean-
Nino: It doesn't mean you're off the hook, but I will say you're growing on me. Even though I STILL don't approve of your relationship with my little sister...
Marinette: C'mon, bro...
Nino: Let me finish. I will try...to be chill, and when you do get in my good graces, because you will...soon, and I will let you know that. I will also, in that time, finally be cool with you wanting to be my brother in law.
Marinette: Wait, what?
Kacey: YES! I'M WORKING MY WAY UP!
Marinette: Wait, go back to the part about the brother in law thing, because I-
Nino: Don't worry about it. What we DO need to worry about is finding where the fuck Agreste is at, because I have a score to settle and I need to do it quick because the fucking cops are on their way.
Marinette: How do you know?
Nino: Just listen.
They all stay quiet and are able to hear the sirens in the distance.
Kacey: Fuck...
Nino: Kacey, take her back.
Kacey: What!?
Marinette: Yeah, what!? We're not leaving you here! What if you get caught?
Nino: I'm not gonna get caught, and if I do then I do. One way or another, piss hair's getting a beat down and I'm gonna give it. Do as I say, Arcs! Take her back now!
Kacey: Ok!
Marinette: What!?
Kacey, Nino and Marinette freeze when they hear the sound of the police storming the building and checking all the rooms looking for whatever their looking for.
Nino: (Whispering) Go! Right now!
Nino pushes Marinette into Kacey's arms and starts pushing them down the dark hallway. When they get to the back stairs Kacey and Marinette run out through the back door while Nino goes back and tries to see if Adrien is still hiding in the building somewhere.
Marinette: Whoa... When did you get a motorcycle?
Kacey: Oh, they give you a discount on all bikes when you start working a the shop. I just paid half of it and the shop covered the rest.
Marinette: Cool!
Kacey: Yeah, it is! You know how to ride?
Marinette: Nope, and I don't wanna learn!
Kacey: Well, you're gonna learn tonight.
He picks them up and puts them on the bike and gets on himself.
Kacey: Kick off the break, then twist the acceleration.
They kick up the break then twist the right handle making the bike fly down the street very fast.
Marinette: Ok! Ok! I wanna get off now!
Kacey: You're doing great! Steady...steady... You wanna know how to drift on a bike?
Marinette: No, but since I'm driving...
Kacey: Ok, a little more on the acceleration a little. Make sure to add a little breaking too.
They speed up a little and are pulled back by the friction of the breaks.
Kacey: Ok, now, on this next turn, you're gonna turn the handlebars slightly and lean to the left, ok?
Marinette: O-Ok...
Kacey: 3... 2... 1! Turn!
They lean to the left while turning the handlebars and the bike drives on a tilted angle before going upright again.
Marinette: That was so cool! Did I really just do that!? I can't believe I just did that!
Kacey: See? You're a natural!
Marinette: I'm not, but thanks for the encouragement. Hey...what's that up there?
They look up the road and a semi truck is barreling toward them and shows no sign of slowing down.
Kacey: A fucking semi!
Marinette: A semi!? As in, "Semi-truck"!?
Kacey: It's not stopping either! Switch me!
Marinette jumps behind him when he goes for the handles and holds onto him when he makes the bike go faster.
Marinette: What are you doing!?
Kacey: Trust me!
He keeps the bike at a fast pace so all they can hear is the wind in their ears. Kacey leans so the bike falls on its side and instead of them getting hit head on by the truck, they slide right under it with no problem.
Except the bike is to far down, so they jump off and the bike tumbles down the street so much it's reduced to a pile of wrecked metal.
Kacey: You ok?
Marinette: Y-Yeah... We're walking back aren't we?
Kacey: Hell no! I'm walking and carrying you, the fuck are you talking about, "We're"? No, not, "We're" it's, "I".
He picks them up and starts walking down the street.
Kacey: You can sleep. You're not that heavy, so it's fine.
Marinette: You sure?
Kacey: Yeah.
Marinette falls asleep and Kacey puts them on his back and continues making the long walk to the hotel.
Kacey: (When I get my hands on that fucking bastard! My hands will be stained with his blood and I will have the last blood rained laugh!)
