But by night, it was on.
At midnight, we all saw flashing blue and red lights coming in from a distance through the window. It was time. 5 of the cars pulled in front of Carlos's house, parking abruptly as officers and swat swarmed around the front porch, holding their guns up and banging on the door.
"This is the police out on an arrest warrant for Isaiah Steels murder!" The officer barked. "Come out with your hands up!"
What was on the other side of the door? Us. We all had our guns drawn, locked, and loaded. Even Aunt Shay had her gun ready. Madilyn placed Madison in the bed, using a bulletproof vest that Carlos gave her to shield a majority of Madison's body. We all inched away from the door, watching Carlos step out of the kitchen with his grenade.
"Y'all might wanna step back." Carlos whispered.
It was about to be an all out war. It was all of Schaefer, Vs. All of the police.
It was going to be a blood bath.
Within a split second, Carlos blew the door down to his home. Noah ran out first and started firing at a few of the officers as they stood outside of the home. There was a hail of gunfire. The officers shot at Noah, causing him to fall down.
But we were still ahead. We all had on bulletproof vests under our clothes.
Asha and Q walked back to back, firing at the officers as the officers fired shots back at them. As the officers fell, two officers from far away threw a grenade towards us from far away. My eyes widened as I yelled:
"Incoming!" I yelled.
It was almost like a movie. We all started running the opposite way in slow motion, then it happened. The gust of the heated wind blew us away as we flew and landed hard into the grass. We all laid on the ground, trying to gain our consciousness back as we watched the officers fire at us. One bullet hit Aunt Shay's leg, causing her to scream in pain.
"Ma!" Noah called out as he ran to her.
Isaiah aimed semi-automatic handgun at the officers, firing multiple bullets into their heads. Two officers fired at Isaiah and Carlos as the two shot and littered them with bullets. Meanwhile, two officers came by to Noah as he cradled Aunt Shay.
"Freeze!" The officers barked as they held their guns to Noah.
Out of nowhere, we saw Madilyn step out of the door of the home. Wobbling with a large gun in her hand, we squinted our eyes to see what she was holding.
A fucking rocket launcher.
"Holy shit!" We all gasped as we jumped up. "Run!"
As the officers continued to fire their shots at us, Madilyn fired the rocket launcher towards the officers and the abandoned house across the street. The sound of the explosion was so loud and erupting that it sounded and felt like an earthquake. The rumbling shook our feet as we remained crouched down, staying in the position for a while. As smoke littered the streets of Schaefer, we coughed and looked up around us as we hid behind someone's backyard in the area. Almost every officer was down. The blast from the rocket launcher knocked each and every one of our guns out of our hands. We lifted up, looking around as much as we could.
"Shit...." I coughed, waving my hands.
"What the hell happened?" Stacey scoffed as he looked around.
And just when we thought that it was over, three more officers walked up to us with their guns, chanting on thing.
"Freeze!" They scowled. "You're all under arrest!"
Unarmed, we all lost. It was over. We got up and prepared to place our hands behind our backs, we heard the sound of a car racing down the street. When we all saw who it was, it was only one person.
Kayson.
In Isaiah's car, he ran down the remaining officers that were holding us hostage. He then stopped the car, backing it up and running over the officers again. Once he backed off, he got out of the car and littered their bodies with bullets. We all grabbed the closest gun, pointing it out to see which officers were left.
There were none.
We watched people step out of their homes, coughing to the large amount of smoke around us. They stared out at all of us, watching us cough and look back at them. One older woman glanced out at us, cracking a smile.
"Madilyn, where the hell did you get a rocket launcher from?" Tyler coughed as she laughed at her.
"Kayson purchased one yesterday from the outskirts of town." Madilyn smiled. "Heh heh."
"Did........did you guys do this?" The woman on the porch asked, referring to killing the officers.
"Yeah." Isaiah coughed. "We did."
Next, everyone around us started clapping in congratulations. Why were the people in Schaefer happy? Because the cops didn't give a fuckn about us. Everyone was happy that those local cops were gone. When we looked around at the cop cars and the police bodies that were laying around. There was no way that we were getting away with this. My eyes widened as I turned to everyone, watching them all get up on their feet. Noah was treating Aunt Shay's wound.
"Aye, they gone know that we did this, y'all!" I said out loud. "How we gone explain dead police officers out he-"
"No they're not." Kayson said.
Kayson pulled out the remote control that he had for all of his planted bombs. What was he doing all day? Planting bombs at every local police and homicide department that close-by. As Detective Sayers and Fosters answered their phones, they heard beeping in the interrogation room. Their eyes widened as they dropped their phones.
"BOMB!" They yelled.
But before they could leave their seats, it was too late. Kayson pressed the button, causing the whole entire area around us to rumble. We looked up at the skies and watched a bright yellow light and smoke billow far away in the distance. Kayson blew up every police department that had evidence on everyone in Schaefer in terms of crimes. This meant that since the police stations were gone, they could no longer try anyone in Schaefer for their crimes. Every bit of evidence was gone. We all smiled and crashed into each other, giving one another a hug. Madilyn grabbed her baby girl, Iyana, and the kids, allowing them to walk outside and join into our circle. We survived an all out war. Through all of the sex, heartbreaks, killings, drug dealing, and shootings, we got away with ALL of it. Each and every one of our crimes, were wiped away.
This, made us the most prolific group of murderers in the world to ever escape getting tried in court. How were we able to get away with it?
No evidence, No witnesses, no trial.
THE EPILOGUE WILL BE UP TOMORROW.
