Billy and Charlie were leading all of us to where they found the child's body. The two boys stop at an entrance to an open bush. "It's in there," Charlie quietly said.

"Alright, you homos, move it," Ace shoved Billy and Charlie out of the way and walked through the hole. They all followed after him and see a young boy crying into another's shoulder. Kat recognised them as the boys that Ace and Eye were tormenting when she first met her boyfriend. "What the fuck do you know about this?" Ace said in a low, intimidating voice. Kat goes to approach the boys to make sure they were okay but Ace extends an arm in front of her, ceasing her actions. "You wasn't planning on taking this body away from us, were you, boys?" Ace continued. 

"Son of a bitch, my little brother!" Eyeball stood by Ace's side to appear more intimidating to the younger Chambers. 

"You stay away! We found him and we called dibs!"

"No, he's ours! Billy and Charlie found him first!" Eye pointed his finger at his younger brother with a deadly glare.

"There's four of us! Try and make your move, Eyeball!" Another two boys approached from a bush. One was wearing a green top and thick glasses, the other slightly chubbier in a striped shirt.

"Oh we will, don't you worry," Ace said in a grave tone as he took another step towards the four younger boys. 

"Stop!" Kat yelled over the bicker. "This is insane! You're fighting over a goddamn dead boy's body. This is sick, for fuck's sake! Why don't we all just fucking calm down and call the police."

"And why should we listen to a whore like you," the glasses-wearing boy swore. Kat scoffed and crossed her arms in annoyance.

Ace's eyes darken as he reaches for his back pocket. "You're dead," Ace stated as he pulled a switchblade out and pointed at each boy. 

"For the love of God. Ace, fucking stop it! They're kids, this town doesn't need any more children going missing or winding up dead, alright? So leave it!" Kat yelled at the man beside her, shoving his hand that held the blade down to his side. But he was too strong. He roughly pushed her off of him, resulting in Kat being knocked into Samantha. 

"The body's ours, boys," Ace continued to taunt.

"Come on, Chris, let's split," The four-eyed boy shook Chris' shoulder with fear as the larger child, who was Billy's brother, Vern and himself backed away from the scene, eventually running away together. 

"They're not taking him," Chris stood his ground. "You're gonna have to kill me, Ace."

"No problem," Ace walked forward with his knife tightly in his grip. Kat rushed forward, trying to make him stop, but the loud bang beat her to it. She watched as Ace's hand falls down quickly to his side, his knife scrapped into her right arm harshly. But both Ace and Kat were too shocked at the gunshot that came from one of the boys to notice what happened. Kat looked towards the boys and noticed the one with brown hair holding a gun above his head, pointing it towards the sky. The boy lowered the weapon so it was pointed at Ace.

"You ain't taking him, ain't nobody taking him," The boy said as he targeted his gun more accurately. 

"Come on kid, just give me the gun before you take your foot off. You ain't got the sack to shoot a woodchuck," Ace places his hands in front of him in surrender and slowly approaching the boy.

"Move Ace and I'll kill you, I swear to God." 

"Give me the gun, you must have at least some of your brother's good sense."

"Suck my fat one you cheap dime-store hood," the boy insulted. 

"We're gonna getcha for this. We're not gonna forget this if that's what you think. This is big-time, baby." Ace pointed his knife at the two boys. Ace grabbed Kat's hand and practically dragged her behind him. They got to Ace's grey Studebaker and sat silently for a few moments. 

Ace suddenly banged his fists against the steering wheel, scaring Billy, Charlie and Kat. "We almost had it! Those stupid fucking fags ruined everything!"

"Darling, please calm down..." 

"Why should I?! You weren't much help back there, Kat," Ace boomed with a red face and white knuckles that wrapped around the steering wheel.

"Ace, you would've killed them, I was doing the right thing. I was helping you out, you're just too far up your own ass to realize that," Kat exploded with rage. 

Ace was quiet for a second. "Kat-"

"No! I don't want to hear it, Ace. Just take me home." Ace went to speak again but she stopped him once more. "Now."
