The Truth

*gunshot*

Adam: Get up

Andre: huh? what? wait... Your not gonna kill m... OH GOD!

*Andre looks behind him to see the original Stranger dead on the floor*

Andre: Why? Why did you shoot him and not me?

Adam: Because my daughter cares about you. I'd shoot you where you stand if it weren't for her. Now GO! Before I change my mind!

Andre: Okay Okay.

Adam: And hey, If you tell her about this then your gonna wish I just shot you.

*Andre runs off to find Sarah*

Andre: Sarah? *heavy breathing*

Sarah: FINALLY! I thought you had died or something.

Andre: Nope, still in one piece.

Sarah: Hey I know you just got back from stalking that guy but you seem a bit off, you okay?

Andre: Huh? Yeah, no I'm fine...

Sarah: Oh no. You didn't kill him did you? I mean he deserved to be punished but killing? That's a bit much. Especially for you.

Andre: No Sarah. I didn't kill him, but he is dead...

Sarah: Oh, one of the Shadows get em?

Andre: yeah... Alright, let's head back. We'll have to tell Chris that the City is no longer safe.

*Andre and Sarah start walking back to base*

I can't do this. I can't keep this from Her, it's not right. She needs to know about her Dad. If I tell her, She'll go off on him. I'm gonna drive myself insane if I don't tell her. Oh! I know, if she says anything I'll just lie. Who am I kidding, I've never been good at lying, let alone keeping the truth from people. Fuck! I have to at least try...

Sarah: Hey.

Andre: what? yeah, what's up?

Sarah: You can be honest with me you know, I'm not a snitch haha.

Andre: What do you mean?

Sarah: Dude, I heard the gunshot. That Stranger didn't die from a Shadow.

Andre: OKAY FINE! I shot him. Is that what you wanna hear?!

Sarah: jeez sorry...

Andre: No your fine. I'm just trying not to think about it... What the hell?

*Andre and Sarah see Chris running towards them in the distance*

Chris: Shit man! The hoard! It's closing in!

Andre: WHAT! I thought we had at least a couple days?!

Chris: Exactly. We thought, but we were wrong.

Sarah: Shit, I still got supplies and stuff back at the base!

Chris: It's ok, They'll probably close in around 5 in the afternoon tomorrow. But still, we leave tonight.

Andre: Alright here, this is the plan. I'll go in, get the supplies, and then get out.

Sarah: No, I can do it.

Andre: It's not up for debate. If they see you two get there and immediately leave afterwards then they'll suspect somethings up.

Sarah: And they won't suspect you?

Andre: No, I'm quiet. They'll just think I'm fooling around.

Chris: Sarah he's got a point.

Sarah: Ok fine, let's just get this over with...
