CHAPTER 26
*Quebec's P.O.V*
*After Jimmy and Juliet's shoot out.*
Nokomis is standing besides me, her bright purple hair sticks out from her pale skin. I look at her face, she's frightful of what's to come.
So am I.
We begin walking from the hallway and she picks up a screwdriver from a tool box that's laying on the ground.
She nudges at my shirt. "Yeah?" I ask impatiently.
"What are we gonna do? Will we kill him?" Nokomis gives a worried look.
"Yeah, he's gonna die from all this killing he's done."
"What about her? The one, Juliet?" Her question stops my mind, I can't think. She just- I can't- but-"Quebec? You there?" She asks as I jump.
"I, uh, don't know about her."
"What?!" Nokomis says as she raises her voice. "She's killed so many!"
"I know, she was my friend. My partner on the job." I sigh.
"And in real life?"
I don't answer her, instead I rush down the stairs and open the door.
My eyes widen and I almost throw up.
"Quebec?!" Nokomis runs to me. "What's wron-"
"Stay back!" I yell.
"Are you oka-" She stops in her tracks as she looks at what we see.
A pile of corpses lay everywhere. We see families, young children, elders just laying there with their hearts dead and blood pooling around them.
On the sidewalks, roads, buildings, walls, windows, and cars. Blood all over.
Bodies from what our eyes can see.
Nokomis cries as she falls to her knees, I rush over to her as my vision blurs. We sob together as she wraps her arms around me. I hug her and we both let ourselves go in the moment.
Nokomis looks into my eyes, I kiss her as she grabs the back of my neck.
This is what we needed. Us. We pull from each others faces and my head gets dizzy.
"Quebec?" She wipes her tears. "QUEBEC!"
I close my eyes and dream.

"Q!" She yells as I jump from my chair. "Get up!" She chuckles. "It's your big day today!"
Juliet grabs my arm and yanks me up.
"Yeah, I know. I've been up all night writing my speech. I mean, it's just Wools-Brook nothing' special. It's not like some crazy killer shows up, just crazy meth addicts running through the street." I explain as Juliet smiles and shakes her head. We walk down the police office.
"C'mon Q, Johnny Toast and Johnny Ghost are gonna be here!" Juliet exclaims.
I stop my walking. "You a lie!" She shakes her head. "No, they ain't her, JC. Are they?" She nods her head! My eyes light up and I do a crazy happy dance.
"Quebec they're outside, c'mon." Juliet said as we go out the door.
A few camera men and many people in seats. I could see Ma the front row. I smiled at her and she gave me a thumbs up.
Juliet sat down and I walked toward the Chief Detective and The Toast & Ghost brothers. Even though Johnny Ghost is a woman with a fake mustache on.
"And here he is, Quebec Lizotte! The new sheriff for Wools-Broke and sister city Bridgeport!" The Chief Detective says into a microphone. "We have brought you here because, as I said, Quebec is our new sheriff and saved the Toast & Ghost brothers from death!"
Everyone claps. I saved them from a gun fight between them and a cardboard box that was 'murdering everyone. (It was just a creepy old man named Gregory who lived in the box for 80 years and the box said to kill. Creepy stuff.
Toast and Ghost step onto the raised platform and Ghost starts to talk into the mic. She lowers her voice like a constipated old man and says, "My brother and I present an award of honor and courage to Quebec Lizotte."
She hands the award and slips a medal around my neck.
The Chief Detective goes to the mic and speaks. "And today we give Quebec Lizotte the Sheriff position."
"WE KNOW!" The crowd angrily shouts.
"Ya told us like three times!" An angry person yells.
"Well anyways," The Chief Detective continues. "Quebec is awarded our most sacred position!"
"And what's that?" I smirk.
"The sheriff's position."
The crowd lets out a huge sigh but I move the Chief Detective out of the way and talk into the microphone. "Thank you, Chief. And you Toast & Ghost." I smile and look at Juliet who takes a seat next to the purple haired girl. "I could not have been out here without my coworkers, friends, and family's support. Thank you"
I glance over at Preston Quagmire who's standing in the air points his gun up. "WHOOO! QUEBEC!" He fires his gun and he doesn't expect the recoil. Preston falls back on the ground.
"Preston? Y'all right?" I ask.
He puts his arm up and says. "YUP!"
"OH MY GOD!" I yell. "HIS BONE IS OUT OF HIS ARM!" Everyone scrams and I just shake my head and take a picture for the newspaper. February 17th, 2000

I open my eyes and see Nokomis face right over me.
"Quebec! I thought you died! Are you okay?" Nokomis asks me as I get up and grab the shotgun. Nokomis grabs her screwdriver and leans against the wall.
"Yeah, I just had a dream."
"About what?"
"Ugh, I forget it already." I lie. I don't want her the back story between Juliet and I.
"Do you want to open the door." Nokomis says as she looks down.
"Yeah, yeah." I sigh and close my eyes. I place my hand on the knob and quickly open it. "Just run! Nokomis follow me!" She nods her head.
I run, run, run. I don't stop for anything and I see Juliet and Jimmy go into an abandoned ware house at the end of the road.
I follow them as we both look at the door they sealed it shut.
"Darm it!" Nokomis yells. "We were so close to them!"
"We still are!" I shoot it open and Nokomis and I nod our heads and walk in.
The ware house is large and empty.
"This place is huge" I say as we see the warehouse seemed to be an old refuge center that was used a few years ago.
Everyone drank contaminated Root-Beer and we all got sick, but that's not the point.
We enter a door and I try to flip the light switch, but there's no point it doesn't work. Nokomis takes her phone out for light and we both get startled by what we see.
A room filled with the corpse of Doctors and Nurses.
I look over at Nokomis and she's hiding her tears and clenching the screwdriver in hand.
"Are you okay, Nokomis?" I ask her as she puffs out air from her nose.
"I just want them dead."
I nod in agreement and we walk forward towards the middle of the room.
A it's stretcher just there. Nokomis shines her light and I see the it empty.
"Someone was here. Either they got up and left or-" A loud noise cuts Nokomis off.
"HUH!" We hear and she shines her phone in the direction it came from.
It's Sally Acachalla slumped against the wall as we see on the ground a blood trail from the stretcher to her. She has her hand over a stab wound in her chest.
"SALLY!" I yell as I run to her and Nokomis and I knell down to her. "Sally! Are you okay?!"
Sally looks up at me and words somehow manage to come out from her.
"I'm f-fe-fe-fine Quebec." Sally tries to smile with the blood coming down from her mouth.
Nokomis lifts up her shirt and moves Sally's hand. A deep stab wound. She whispers in my ear. "Quebec, she won't, make it out alive."
My heart sinks as I turn my head at her and grab her hand.
"What happened?" I ask her.
"Th-th-the doctor heard ga-ga-guns and they put me in the ambu-la-la-nce." Sally stutters. "They brought me in-in-inside. Then-then-then." She chokes in her words.
"It's okay, it's fine." I assure her as I put my hand in her hair. "Go on."
"They came in and shot all of them!" She gasps as she coughs some blood. "He st-st-stabbed me!"
Jimmy will pay. He's killed everyone. He has to die.
"Quebec." She coughs and looks up at me.
"What Sally?" I cry as Nokomis tearing too. "What do you need?"
"Tell the Chief Detective I love him."
I resentfully nod my head. Jeremy is dead, but I won't tell her.
"Okay, we'll tell him."
"And" Sally says as she takes a breath and snatches the screwdriver from Nokomis's hand. "I'M SORRY!"
Sally then put the screwdriver up to throat and slashed it.
"SALLY!" I screamed and I hugged her. Sally's limp body was entangled in my arms. Her blood pooled from her neck and onto my clothes. I couldn't help but cry from seeing her like this.
Dead.
Gone.
Lifeless.
"Quebec, she's dead. I'm sorry." Nokomis spoke to me as she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Let her go." My shivering arms dreadfully let her down and she sat slumped on the ground. I shut her eyes for one last time.
Sally doesn't deserve anymore pain.
But on thing is still left unanswered. I turned myself towards Nokomis. "What's she sorry for!" I yelled expecting a response from Nokomis as if she knew what to do.
"For this, Quebec." His Erie, dreadful, depressing, hateful, disgusting tone said to me as a metal is place on the back of my head. My hairs are raised and my heart's pumping. I drop the shotgun and raise my arms. You really think you can outrun me? Or in my case, out fun me?!" He gave an evil laugh. "But you can't with your girl here."
I turn my eyes and look at Nokomis. Her arms are raised too. She's softly crying as a gun is placed on the back of her head too.
"She's not my girlfriend, Casket. Just put the gun away from my head and we can work this out!" I yell as a face comes to mine.
"It's not his gun at you, Q." Her voice sends deeper chills down my spine. The voice I used to hear is gone now, her voice is as bad's as his. "I am in control. You can't win now."
"Why would you use Sally! She did nothing wrong!" I say as Juliet's face backs away.
"Sally was a nice kid. Stupid, but not dumb. We had other ways to get her to us." Juliet spoke. "Jimmy chased after her and I followed him."
"We murdered everyone in here. As you can see. I may have stabbed her and forcefully convinced her to get to you get over here. We were gonna kill her. But Sally took the fun away from us." Jimmy explained as I could see a window behind dark curtains.
I knew what I had to do. I elbowed Juliet and quickly kicked Jimmy in his knee.
I grabbed the piece of glass and I ran towards Jimmy.
The glass in my hands and Jimmy before me. I was ready to end it, once and for-
"GET OFF!" Juliet tugs me off of him and she crawls fast at me with the glass. I kick her in the face and Nokomis whacks Jimmy with the shotgun.
A chips of wood snap from it and I grab Jimmy's revolver. I grab Nokomis's shaking hand.
"C'mon!" I yell as we run towards the door. I snap the lock behind and jolt down the hall.
The revolver in my hand. Nokomis by my side. This will end.
Now.
