"What is the meaning of this?" I whispered quietly, not taking my eyes off the card. Darren started shaking his head, "No, no, no," he turned to me, "You know what this means right?"
I thought for a while, to rethink and reassure that everything was normal. Nothing was wrong. But my brain couldn't deny the hard truth, "Everything in the movie is now real. The boys, the game, the professor...it's all real. They are here in this world."
Darren rolled his fingers into boulder sized fists. Somehow, I could feel his frustration, his anger at himself because this time, he had messed up bad.
"Whoever did this, they're going to pay for it..." he growled under his breath. He extended his hand towards me, palm facing up. "Give me the card."
Something in me revolted and I brought the card close to my heart, "No, I won't."
