Chapter 18
Marie's POV
I calmed myself down and looked at Ticci-Toby. He hugged me tight, as if I was disappearing from him. I put my arms around him and hugged him, still in a slight daze. I glanced at Mark and Karen and they looked at me as if I betrayed them. I gave a wink to them so only they saw. I looked at Ticci-Toby's hatchet that was at his hip and reached to get it. I stealthily took it and held onto him still. "I missed you so much, Marie," Ticci-Toby whispered, "You had us all worried."
I faked a sob and replied, "I missed you, too, Toby. I-I didn't mean to make Daddy upset. Splendorman is a great father."
I raised the hatchet and was about to hit Ticci-Toby when he caught my arm in midair. He squeezed it tight and I yelped in pain. I dropped the hatchet and looked at his goggles, seeing hurt eyes behind them. He let out a dry chuckle and sighed sadly, "You still don't remember us? I almost fell for it. Thank God your amnesia self is a dumbass. Unlike the Marie I know."
Ticci-Toby punched me in the cheek and gut, blood coming up. I spat it out and felt very weak, my stitches that were there almost a month earlier breaking a little. I tried to punch him, but it landed very weakly. My eyes fluttered slightly and I couldn't help but lean forward on his shoulder, feeling lightheaded. I grabbed onto Ticci-Toby's striped sleeve and mumbled, "I'm not a dumbass. I think you're the dumbass."
After I said that, I fell into darkness once again.
Ticci-Toby's POV
Marie passed out on my shoulder, going into a peaceful slumber. I felt myself tear up and hold her longer. I can't believe she didn't remember from that, I thought, feeling upset, Where are you in there, Marie?
I picked her up bridal style as I stood up and was going away when I heard the guy shout, "You're not getting away with this! You'll be caught!"
I stopped in my tracks and glanced at the kid, no emotion on my face. He's getting on my last nerves. I looked away from him and shouted, "Kristi! Jeff!"
A few seconds later, they both came in here and both shouted, "Jesus, Toby! What the fuck?"
Kristi went to check on Marie and looked at me. "You broke her stitch," she said in awe, smacking my head afterwards, "This could seriously kill her! I thought you liked her!"
I looked at Marie's resting face and whispered, "That's why I did it."
It was silent before Jeff said, "Dude, too dramatic and cheesy. Now, what are we going to do with them?"
Jeff moved his head to the family. I looked at them and shrugged. "What do you think we have to do?"
Jeff made his smile bigger and held his knife up. "Way ahead of-"
Suddenly, the sound of sirens started to ring, coming closer. Shit.
Jeff the Killer's POV
I heard sirens and looked through the crack of the curtains and saw police cars come up. What the hell is going on? I thought, looking at the family. I twirled my knife and asked as calmly as possible, "Alright, dipshits. Who has a phone with them?"
When none of them answered, I turned and saw Marie's limp hand holding a flip phone, almost unnoticeable in her hands. It had the 911 number dialed and answered, making me cuss. "Goddamnit!" I shouted, grabbing the phone and hanging up, "Marie called 911 before she passed out! Why did you bring your phone, Toby?"
Ticci-Toby looked at the phone and shouted back, "I didn't know I had it! And that looks like-"
"My phone!" Kristi grabbed it and glared at us. "Why do you guys have my phone? I was looking for that!"
"Well, if you wanted to keep your phone, then you shouldn't had stabbed your own daughter!" I screamed, punching a hole in the wall.
I heard the sound of a megaphone and a man's voice announce, "Please, release the hostages and your sentences will be shorten."
I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the window, pacing back and forth. As I did this, an idea came to mind and I looked at Ticci-Toby, suggesting, "Do you think he'll help us now?"
His eyes widened slightly and he answered, "We're not calling him. He would freak at this!"
"Do we have a fucking choice? We will either get his help or go to prison and die? I don't know about you, but I don't wanna die."
Toby stayed silent for a second before sighing, nodding. I nodded and dialed the number on the phone. Kristi looked at us and asked, "Who are you calling?"
I didn't answer for a second before replying, "You know when he answers."
