Katerina sat anxiously in her office. She was waiting for Stan to bring Dwight around.
He had gotten contact with him within just under two weeks and now he was on a way to have a meeting.
Katerina tapped a tune on her desk, looking at the design for the cult / gang. She loved it. It was a perfect representation of them.
"Hey, Kat." Julia greeted. "I can't believe we've found someone to bring back our King."
Katerina smiled with a nod. She was excited but she refused to let her crazy mind get its hopes up. It wasn't happening.
She tapped the desk, what was taking so long? She was getting bored and annoyed with Stan.
"Sorry." Stan opened the door. "He was preparing or something."
Katerina waved him into the room and he sighed in relief, a man walking into the room.
At first he appeared timid, but Katerina new he had darkness. Knew something was up.
"Katerina, it is an honour to meet you." Dwight stated, she motioned for him to sit. "What brings me here?"
"We heard you can bring people back to life and are thinking of bringing Jerome." Julia explained as Katerina played with a knife.
"Yes, I'm able to do that, the possibility of bringing our King back would be amazing. I have no resources to collect his body." Dwight stated. Katerina tilted her head in question. "His body has been preserved."
Katerina looked to Julia and nodded at her. She wanted Jerome back, and she would try at any cost.
"Our army would happily help you, but you may have to speak as Katerina's control has slipped. And boss– I'm sorry but it's the truth." Julia apologised.
Katerina turned to her with the knife. She was angry. She didn't want this man to know this.
"I'm sorry. I overstepped." Julia apologised with a gulp.
Katerina sighed in annoyance and turned to the odd man, motioning for him to continue.
"I can bring him back with the right amount of electricity. This will not only bring him back for you, Queen, but could mean you and him rule the cult." Dwight stated.
Katerina nodded. "This sounds good. What do you need?" Julia asked.
"I would like some control over your cult. I need some people to help me collect Jerome's body." Dwight explained. "Oh and to distract the police."
"Lets get it done." Julia nodded, after Katerina gave it the okay.
Katerina nodded at Stan with a smile. He would get to go on a spree of whatever he wanted to do.
☠️
Katerina walked onto the stage with Julia and Dwight and everyone cheered.
"Who's this?" A random person yelled.
"I am here because I can bring back Jerome!" He yelled, Katerina rolled her eyes.
"What?" Everyone broke out into noise. Katerina pulled out her gun, shooting twice into the ceiling.
"This is true. But he needs people to help break into the warehouse where Jerome's body is kept. Who's in?" Julia yelled.
People yelled in excitement and Katerina felt nervous. She was losing control. Losing her edge.
She needed Jerome. She knew that something bad would happen during this. She just wasn't sure what would go bad.
"Get ready!" Katerina croaked.
Everyone fell silent in shock. Katerina gulped, she wasn't gonna speak anymore. Not until Jerome was back. And if he wasn't brought back, there would be hell to pay.
Everyone then cheered, they heard her speak. It felt like a great honour. And although they were losing faith in her as a killer and a leader.
They rolled a clip of her and Jerome, motivating them as they cheered, copying the words they said and Katerina giggled.
☠️

Katerina had gathered 20 members for Dwight, not including herself or Stan. Leaving Julia to handle the rest.
They made their way to the container in 4 vans, one containing Dwight, Stan and Katerina. This one would carry Jerome's body once they had found it.
They stopped outside the facility, everyone getting out the vans. They walked into the building, Katerina going first with Dwight.
The other members followed behind as they looked at 2 security guards. 
"Stop or I will fire!" The one on the right repeated. The man shot a member and Katerina giggled.
The man shooting was stabbed by his partner. He was on their side and Katerina chuckled.
The guard let them into the restricted area where bodies were preserved. They walked down the hall, past the stairs to the frozen bodies.
Katerina felt her heart race. It had been just over a year since that night. She hadn't seen him since.
Katerina walked beside Dwight with Stan on her tail and she felt her insides melt.
There he was. Her man. Frozen and lifeless. He looked the same. His smile remained and he had a scarr from where he was stabbed. He was perfect and Katerina felt herself smirk in excitement.
"It's you. It's really you." Dwight whispered.
"Alright let's get him and get moving." Stan yelled as Katerina's right hand man for this mission.
They collectively grabbed the container he was inside and carried it with them to the van.
"We'll take him to my place of work at once and get this started." Dwight stated as they loaded him in, nodding to Katerina who smiled widely.
This was it. It was time to bring her joker back from the dead.
