The Metalheads

Don't you even take a step forward." The waiter's voice hissed through the air, echoing off the empty restaurant walls. I stopped dead in my tracks, and hid the taser in my back pocket.

"Don't hurt him," I warned, glaring at the man.

I rushed over to Andy, noticing a dark purple bruise stretched across the bridge of his nose, and a few cuts on his arms and his forehead.

"What did you do to him?" I asked, trying to wake him up.

"I told you not to move," he hissed, moving closer with his gun still in hand.

"What did you do to him?" I repeated through clenched teeth. He shook himself awake, suddenly, and sat up.

"Ugh, what happened babe?" He opened his eyes wider as they re-adjusted to the light.

"I don't really know," I answered. He rubbed his eyes as I stood up.

"Why did you do this?" I asked the waiter, ready to strike if he touched them again.

"You know too much now. And I know exactly what you're going to do with this information. So, in order to prevent that, I have to kill all of you."

I glared at him, feeling a sudden urge to murder him. Ashley was slouched on the floor beneath the waiter, looking horrified.

"I won't do anything. Just let him go, please."

Why was Ashley always used to threaten me?

"I already told you. I can't let you go." He sighed. I didn't want to have to handle things the hard way, but I guess this was one of those times that you just had to.

"Please, just let him go." He smirked, my begging seemed to amuse him.

Without saying a word, he pulled out his gun and held it to Ashley's head. Ashley yelped as he put his finger on the trigger, trying to get out of the waiter's strong headlock.

Quickly reacting, I pulled the taser out of my back pocket and tased the waiter until he fell to the ground unconscious. Ashley looked up at me in surprise, thankful for saving him.

"Where did you get that?"

I laughed. "Your car."

He started to laugh too.

"I don't remember even owning a taser."

I just shrugged as I walked over to Andy, who had watched me shock the waiter.

"This is getting out of hand babe. I don't think we should follow through with this whole thing. It's getting very dangerous."

He looked really worried. I knew this was getting serious, but I still had the burning desire to set things right.

"It is, but I don't want to give up. I need to figure out what President Black is planning to do with us. Because he knows that were trying to figure out what's going on."

Ashley nodded in agreement.

"So, we need to move forward with our plan. We're still trying to get into their capital."

Andy looked disappointed.

"Kat, how exactly do you think you can do this? They will kill you, as soon as they see you. It's too dangerous for you to continue. Besides, you don't even have a plan."

By now, he was practically yelling at me. I knew he had a point.

"I know Andy, but if we don't do anything about this, people will continue to be embarrassed and mistreated and even murdered."

He stared at me blankly.

"I just don't want you to get hurt or killed. I don't want to see my girlfriend's lifeless body hanging from the balcony of their capitol for the entire world to see." He lowered his eyes and slightly shook his head, almost trying to shake the image away.

I imagined myself hanging from the capital building. I shuddered at the thought of being instantly murdered without reconsideration.

"Who says they will kill me? What if I do defeat them? What if I do survive?"

He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"If you do, that's great. But what I'm saying is, that if you don't, I don't want to take that risk of losing you."

I sighed. I knew he was right, but I didn't want to give up, not now.

"I understand that babe, but I need to-"

"-to find justice for Sarah. You need to find justice for Sarah. That's all you want is to change things so you can feel better about your stupid friend being taken from you."

He cut me off, and his words sliced through me like the daggers I kept in my jacket.

Andy stared at me in shock, realizing what he had done. I could feel tears begin to form in my eye.

"If this is how you feel, then why are you still here?" I asked through choked up breaths.

He started to say something, but I stormed out of the restaurant and started towards my house, not wanting to hear what he had to say. Both of the guys stood at the door and watched me disappear down the street, not bothering to try and stop me.

I always knew I was better off alone.
