"Melody! Stop what you're doing and get up!" one of the detectives barked, his gun trained on me. "Get up and put your hands up, kid! I understand that you were framed, but if you keep going, only you will be in danger!"
I leaned down close to Samantha, who was groaning beneath me. "Listen, Samantha. I'm going to kill you. My revenge on you will only end after you're as dead as Helen," I whispered coldly.
Then I released her and stood, holding my hands up. I walked calmly over to the detectives watching everyone relax.
Pinky was in tears now. "Melody, what do I—"
"Just update Darius and use your brain!" I said quietly. The more I guilted Pinky the more extreme things she'd do to prove her loyalty. This feels shitty but my life was literally in hands right now which wasn't comforting to me at all. "You said you'd have my back and I'm seriously counting on you."
Pinky looked at me scared.
