Chapter twenty-one
The next day, Shad is preparing to leave the room; his class has not started until this afternoon, and he is coming to check up with Pandora to see what's happening. He checked on her room and knocked on the door, but it didn't answer. He tried to go to Bron's room, but only when he saw the door was opened did he know when Bron was there; he saw Bron's stuff empty and found Pandora sitting on the floor.
Shad: Pandora, what are you doing in here?
Pandora: I don't want to talk about it. He's not broken up with me; I didn't. He did something terrible.
Shad: Does he take care of his joyride?
Pandora: Maybe.
Shad: *sat beside her* What's going on with him?
Pandora: *hears a phone call from Bron and sighs until she answers* Bron?
Bron: Pandora, Pandora, Pandora. It's about time you picked up the call.
Pandora: I don't feel safe around here because I know you pulled the trigger on Iris, in case you are going to confess after what you made these people's dead bodies.
Bron: I wasn't supposed to do yours yet, but I'm kindly waiting if I feel ready to be a part of something else.
Pandora: Does this mean our relationship is over?
Bron: I guess.
Pandora: I'll come and get you, motherfucker. *hangs up*
Shad: Wow.
Pandora: No, I'm serious. It would be best if we were to get out of his room before someone sees us.
Later that night, Shad and Fiona spent their time in the restaurant calming each other while the town turned upside down.
Shad: I know what you are about to say cause someone has told you so.
Fiona: *nods softly*
Shad: I still can't believe it. I don't know Bron that much.
Fiona: Shad, can I ask you something? When you leave here after graduation, are you saying you will get a new house?
Shad: I do. I have to do a favor for my family first.
Fiona: *still eating*
Shad: This is not a goodbye for my career; I still do it when I belong here in college.
Fiona: I can do better than myself if I'm going to save up the money after I stop spending time with my people and spend money on each other.
Shad: *hearing*
Fiona: *sees the black car pulling out the guns* Oh shit! *holds him to the floor*
Unknowns: *shooting the building into the window*
Shad: *holds her*
Unknowns: *keeps shooting and drives away*
Shad: Are you OK?
Fiona: I'm OK, I'm OK.
Shad: *hearing*
Fiona: Can we please get the hell out of here?
Shad: Yeah.
The next day, Shad goes outside the campus to chill out and get some fresh air after what happened last night because he thinks he remembers what he saw cause Pandora told him about Bron's situation. Perhaps he is not afraid to escape the town when he is looking for him anytime as soon as Bron is around.
He exited the campus nearby and sat on the bench to take out the phone to call the taxi until Pandora pulled over to the car and horned it.
Pandora: Are you going somewhere?
Shad: *sees her inside the car*
Pandora and Shad are on the way to Philadelphia. While driving, she turns on the radio to listen to the song. Whether it is, Pandora's favorite song comes on as she sings a little bit while enjoying the drive.
Shad, Pandora, Bronwyn, and Zach enjoy together at Locust Bar/Club, including karaoke. Pandora tells them she had to figure out that Bron was around somewhere since he disappeared from campus.
Shad: Is there something that he can follow him while we write on the map, just like that?
Pandora: Shad, I agree. *paddled his shoulder*
Zach: As soon as we bring the map after, we find him to see what Bron has been up to in the town.
Pandora: That's a good plan for us. Could we hurry up and eat before we chill out in Philly for once?
Bronwyn: *looking at them eating and getting up from the seat* Let me go to the restroom.
Zach: Take your time, Bronny.
Bronwyn: Stop it, Zach. *walks away*
Pandora: What is up between you two?
Zach: Good question, is because of-
Bronwyn: *on the stage while touching the microphone with one finger*
All: *turns around and sees Bronwyn*
Bronwyn: Hi. I like to dedicate the song to the people who stepped up to me today; we were close to each other in college, one for my squads.
All: *hearing*
Bronwyn: *singing* "Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing"
Shad: Take your spotlight!
Bronwyn: *keeps singing* "You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two?
Pandora: Wooo!!!
Zach: *claps his hands*
Bronwyn: *keeps singing* "I didn't think so
You ever tried with all your heart and soul to get you lover back to you?
I want to hope so
You ever pray with all your heart and soul just to watch her walk away?
Baby did a bad bad thing"
Zach: *smirks and talks to himself* Fucking Bronwyn.
*After the bar*
Zach: I didn't know you were a good singer. How could you like what the fuck?
Bronwyn: Cause before. I figured it all out without telling you weirdos.
Pandora: Girl, don't blame yourself. We should do the duets together sometimes.
Bronwyn: I like the sound of that.
Pandora: Alright, we have to check out the town to spend a little time before we head back to the room and catch up on the dirty work.
Shad: *hearing*
Later that night, Shad was preparing to spy on Bron to ensure he was out there anywhere but here since the other three were watching on the laptop with the live camera, and he was wearing the cap with the live camera bud and headphone bud while calling the phone on Pandora.
Shad: *drives the car to search for Bron while driving around the city. He found him by someone's house at some address as he watched Bron with the boys chilling out the spot from the porch* Pandora, I think I saw him.
Bronwyn: There he is.
Pandora: Where the hell do you think you're going, Bron? *smirks*
Shad: *taking a picture of Bron from outside with the phone*
Bron: *confronts the boys while writing on the list with the notepad*
Shad: *drives away slowly*
Pandora: You can turn it off now and return to the campus.
Zach: So what now?
Pandora: I have to call someone.
The next day, Shad and Pandora walked near campus and hung out a little to make sure they were calming themselves.
Shad: Are you sure you would leave the town to move into NYC?
Pandora: Sure I am. I will not regret this, but sometimes it's nice. It would help if you moved it on when it's all over.
Shad: I think I can.
Pandora and Shad: *sees the police car pulled over as they see Kyra come out of the vehicle*
Shad: What is going on?
Kyra: Pandora?
Pandora: What happened?
Kyra: We just spoke to Bron; he didn't commit. I know you were getting upset, and I understand that your friends published the video on social media, and it doesn't seem like the face would be shown.
Pandora: *hearing*
Kyra: I'm sorry. *heading back in the car*
Pandora: It's okay.
Shad: So what now, huh?
Pandora: We have to do something with Bron.
Shad: *hearing*
Pandora: Let's go. *walks away*
Shad: *follows her*
Later that night, Shad, Zach, Bronwyn, and Pandora went to the spot where Shad had found the correct address from last night as he was spying on these boys; he had an idea if Bron was inside the house, but instead, they were going to punish them inside the home.
Zach: Are you sure we are gonna go in?
Shad: Yes. Who would know if Bron was inside?
Pandora: He'll be in there. I would crash him out and take him somewhere.
Zach and Bronwyn: *hearing*
Pandora: Seriously, we're gonna go in and beat the shit out of them first.
All: *sneaking to the house on the porch while looking at the boys inside chilling*
Zach: *kicking the door and punching the guy*
Bronwyn, Pandora, and Shad: *fighting the guys at each other*
Pandora: *went to another room and kept on fighting while searching for Bron*
Guy: *grabs Zach from behind*
Zach: *moves back and hitting him in the back against the wall until he stabs the guy's leg and throat with his pocket knife*
Guy: *falls to the floor and dead*
Bronwyn: *kept punching another guy twice*
All: *stops*
Pandora: He ain't there.
Zach: Damn.
Pandora: Fuck this, let's get out of here before Bron will show up. *leaves the house*
Bronwyn and Shad: *follows her*
Zach: *doing the same while looking at the guy after slitting his throat to the floor*
