EEnE-Smooth Criminal-Chap. 2

The Scene: The Cat's Meow Jazz Club
The Time: July 18th, 1925 9:36 p.m

The doors to the Cat's Meow swung open as The Ed's n Ana, aka The Heretics, casually walked in. They eyed the place for a moment before Eddy said, "Ok, we're here to find Sarah, and that's it. No fights, alright?" Ed and Double D glanced at Ana.

"Don't get in a lather, Eddy. Can't a girl make a mistake?" remarked Ana. She then headed off to the bar as the others split up.



"Everyone here? Swell; let's get this Vexation meeting underway." A man with a fedora said.

"Sarah's weakening under our pressure." A man with a thick accent said, twiddling his thumbs.

"The Heretics don't know from nothin' that they've been double-crossed!" laughed a man with an enormous head. All three figures laughed cruelly until the figure with the thick accent asked, "Where is Doll Face?" The man with the fedora pointed at the bar and responded, "She went to go get a drink."


"I'll take a martini, Jack." Ana said to the bartender. She sat on a stool and adjusted the colored band on her arm, which showed her association with the Heretics. She got her drink and began to walk away when she ran into a girl with a bobbed-cut blonde hair.

"Oh! I'm sor-" they both said before noticing the bands on each others arms, the blonde girl's a lime green and Ana's dark yellow. Without a single word uttered, there was a gun pressed against each others forehead.

"Vexation!" Ana hissed.

"You Heretics have no business here." The Vexation girl sneered. All was silent as they glared at each other, seeing who would pull the trigger first.



Double D was looking around for Sarah in the backstage area of the club, but instead of seeing her, he heard her.

"Double D!" Sarah called as she ran up to him. "Hello, Sarah. We need to talk." Double D said, stone-faced. Sarah's smile faded as she nervously asked what was wrong. Double D glanced around them, and then whispered, "We need a more private place to talk."

With that said Double D pulled Sarah into her dressing room and locked the door.



"Filthy Heretic. You and your friends are nothing but amateurs!" the Vexation girl declared. Ana raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Really? Well, in my eyes, the Vexations are nothing but a bunch of has-beens."

The Vexation girl looked at Ana in disbelief. "Are you calling me a hag, you dirty quiff?!" she shouted.

Ana smirked, remarking, "They're also stupid, as you so plainly point out."

The Vexation girl clenched her teeth and pulled the trigger.


Double D locked the door and turned around to see Sarah in a skimpy nightgown. She smiled suggestively and uttered, "So…you wanted to talk?"

Double D crossed his arms and replied, "Looks like you wanted to do more then that. But, pray tell, how did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Change from your 'flapper' outfit to…..that."

Sarah giggled and strutted towards Double D. She pushed him against the door and pressed her body close to his.

"A lady never tells." She whispered before engaging Double D in an earth-shattering kiss.



BLAM! Went the Vexation girl's gun. Ana moved her head to the right, fast as lightning, grabbed the Vexation girl's wrist, and tripped her. The Vexation girl landed hard on her back and look up to see Ana pointing her pistol at her face.
Ana smirked and said, "Like I said, the Vexations are nothing but has-beens."

The sounds of guns cocking swept into Ana's ear. She glanced over her shoulder to see the remaining Vexation members, ready to attack.

The man with the fedora helped the blonde girl up while asking, "Are you alright, Nazz?" The blonde Vexation girl, or Nazz, retrieved her gun, pointed it at Ana, and said to the man with the fedora, "I'm just ducky, Kevin, thanks."

Ana, without letting her guard down, cocked her head to the side and asked, "So aren't you going to introduce me to your fellas?"

Nazz glared at Ana, then smirked. She motioned at the man with the enormous head and said, "Jonny", to the man with the thick accent, "Rolf," and finally to the man with the fedora, "and Kevin are not my 'fellas', they're my equal partners in our gang, the Vexations, the mightiest gang in Peach Creek!"

Ana rolled her eyes. "Well, 'Nazz', I'm pleased to meet you all." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"You won't be for long." Nazz replied with a cruel smile.


Double D broke away from Sarah's kiss and tried to catch his breath. Sarah stepped back and smiled.

"How was that, Eddward?"

Double D adjusted the crooked fedora on his head while saying, "I must admit, Sarah, you certainly know how to neck…"

Sarah giggled and began to slip one of the straps of her nightgown down her shoulder. "Well, Double D, there's a lot more where tha-"

"Are you backstabbing us, Sarah?"

"……..Excuse me?"


"Ana what's going on-HOLY JESUS!" Eddy asked as he walked up to his sister and saw the situation she was in. He quickly pulled out his revolver and stood by Ana. Ed noticed the commotion and bound over to help as well.

Kevin looked at the three Heretics, then smirked and said, "Interesting. But we still outnumber you dorks 3 to 4."

Eddy looked at the Vexations, then at his friends, and exclaimed, "Where the hell is Double D?!"



"Are you backstabbing us?"

Sarah stood perfectly still, then turned and walked to her dresser, placing a hand upon it. She looked over her shoulder and asked, "Don't you trust me, baby?"

Double D put a hand on his hip and replied, "The evidence is stacked against you, Sarah. And don't call me, 'baby'."

Sarah sighed and turned her head back to the dresser.

All was silent.

Without warning, Sarah pulled out a pistol from a dresser drawer and pointed it at Double D.

"YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!" she screamed as she shot blindly.

"GOOD LORD!" Double D cried and ran out of the room, Sarah right on his tail.



"There's Double D!" Ed said gleefully and pointed behind the Vexations. Everyone looked, screamed, and ducked as quickly as they could. Bullets were flying everywhere!

Double D sprinted by his friends while shouting, "Let's go let's go!" The Heretics got on their feet and followed Double D out the Cat's Meow.

As the smoke cleared, the Vexations slowly got up and looked around. There, standing amongst the chaos and breathing harshly, was Sarah, still gripping her pistol.

Nazz walked up to Sarah, grabbed her roughly by the hair, and growled, "Sarah, we need to have a discussion about your…employment with us."

Sarah's eyes grew wide before being gagged by Rolf and carried off on his shoulder, the Vexations following after.
