It was a long night of partying at F.F's place, so now Jolyne is driving Rykiel back home. Poppy is playing on the radio, and Rykiel is asleep in the passenger seat. The two-toned-haired girl hums to the song while tapping her fingers to the beat on her wheel while keeping her eyes on the empty roads, it was late at night so it was expected. Something had suddenly dashed in front of the road, Jolyne quickly hit her breaks but was too late as she heard the hard thud. Rykiel quickly shot up from the sound of the thud, "Jolyne! What happened?"
Jolyne sat quietly in her seat before putting her car in park and slowly getting out of her car, "Please be a deer, please be a deer, please be a... oh my god!" Jolyne looked down in horror as she saw a blonde man lay on the ground. The pink-haired male quickly got out of the car and looked at what Jolyne was looking at, "Jolyne... please tell me this is just a prank..." Rykiel stuttered as his hands started trembling. "It's not..." Jolyne replied as her heartbeat started quickening, she had already been to court for car theft, she can't go to death row because she accidentally killed someone.
She gulped as she opened the car's trunk and started dragging the man by his shoulders, "What are you doing?" "Saving our asses, now help me unless you want to go to prison!" Rykiel quickly rushed over and grabbed the man by his ankles, the two then tossed in the back and shut the trunk. The two quickly get into the car, "Do you think your dad will believe it if we said you bet your car to someone and lost?" Rykiel asked as he started sweating heavily, his eyelids were starting to fall, and his legs started feeling numb.
"That's your best plan?" "Yes?" "Oh my fucking god, no, we're going to bury the body somewhere," Jolyne said as she flipped the car around and started driving to a secluded area. Her heart thundered in her chest as her mind started running around, "If I get I'm gonna end up in prison and get caught masturbating by Tom Cruise, then I'm gonna meet a weird girl with a bird, then I'm gonna end up meeting a weird baseball boy, then-" "Jolyne, where are we going?"
The green-eyed girl looked over at Rykiel, "We're going to the woods by that river," she said as she turned her head back to the road, "I go there to smoke all the time and have never been caught," she said as she took a sharp turn. Rykiel ran a hand through his dreadlocks, he didn't plan to help hide a body, but he wasn't going to jail, plus, how was he going to survive jail time when he couldn't even survive a day at school without crying at some point? "Hey, it's going to get bumpy from here," Jolyne said as she turned and drove into the dark woods, her phone suddenly rang making the two jump a bit, "and can you answer that for me?" The pink-haired male picked up the phone, "It's Foo," he told Jolyne before answering, "Yo Jolyne!" "Actually, it's Rykiel," he answered with a nervous laugh.
"Oh, can you tell Jolyne that she forgot her eyeliner in my room?" "Sure," he turned to Jolyne as he hung up, "okay, Foo just called to say you forgot your eyeliner at her place," he said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. Jolyne parked the car by a tree and got out of the car, she popped open the back and dragged the body, "Okay, help me dig," she said as she grabbed two shovels. She tossed Rykiel one as he was getting out of the car, she gently hit the tip of the shovel on part of the ground before shoving it down into the soil. She pushed it down and scooped out a chunk of dirt that she then tossed to the side. "Help me out," Rykiel rushed to her side and started digging.
Heavy breathing and metal hitting the Earth was the only sound with a few hoots from owls and the soft steps of deers. The hole was now wide and deep enough for the body. They placed their shovels down and grabbed the wrist and ankles of the blonde guy, "Hey! Is someone there?" A voice then cut through making Jolyne and Rykiel panic, "Fuck! Quick! Throw the body in!"
Jolyne whispered as she staggered to the hole and dropped the man in. The light passed through to the woods making the two squint as it hit their eyes. Jolyne blinked as her eyes adjusted and saw the familiar pompadour, "Josuke!" She shouted as she dropped her shovel. "Jolyne, what are you doing here?"
Josuke started walking towards them, Rykiel had then broke into tears, "We're sorry! We didn't mean for it to happen!" The pompadoured male gave his niece a confused look before gently pushing the two teens away and looking down into the hole, his eyes widen as he staggered back. "Jolyne... did you kill this man?" He jumped into the hole and placed his fingers on the man's neck before breathing a sigh of relief.
"Okay, he's not dead but-" a crackle was heard from the walkie-talkie on Josuke's shoulder. "Officer Higashikata, have you found the escapee yet?" "What was the description again?" "His name is Yoshikage Kira, blonde male, early 30's, about 5'8, and looks to way 65 kilograms," "I think I found him..." The man in the hole groaned as he slowly lifted his head, "What is going on?" Jolyne and Rykiel let out a sigh of relief as they heard the man speak.
"Okay, buddy, we're bringing you back to jail," he placed the handcuffs over the man's wrist, "and Jolyne?" "Yeah?" "You better call your friend's parents because you two are going to spend a night in the cell," Josuke says as he walks away with the man in cuffs. Rykiel looks at Jolyne with puffed eyes and a runny nose, "We're in trouble, aren't we?"

It's the next day and Jolyne and Rykiel sit in the lunchroom with their heads on the table, "Woah, you two look like shit, what happened?" Foo asks as she sits down with them with a bottle of water in her hand. "Ugh, my uncle had to put us in a jail cell last night because we accidentally hit a guy, then he had to talk to the head of his police department about us technically stopping a criminal," Jolyne rubbed her temples, "then Rykiel's dad had to bail us out, and then we got yelled at by my dad, mom, and uncle." The green-haired girl took a long sip of her water, "Jesus Christ, oh, here's your eyeliner by the way," she said as she slid the stick to Jolyne, the two-toned-haired girl gave her a thumbs up before laying her head back down on the table.
"Oh, I got my car taken away and I'm grounded too," "I'm grounded for a month, and my dad is making me go to that Church camp too," Rykiel said, the two spent the rest of their day silently crying from last nights events.
