I woke up, tied into a chair with a gag in my mouth. I still feeling a bit dizzy after, I think I was hit in the head. Then I heard voices. "Beauregard said this wimp here is the person we need." "Yeah but should we know we didn't get the wrong guy? If he wakes up he will--". He got cut off, by me, who stared at them. The one who called me a "wimp" looked like in his 20's. I don't know if he was but his face should give his age. The one I cut off looks a bit younger. He was holding a baseball bat. I bet that's the thing he used to hit me. The 20's guy removed the gag from my mouth and gave me a glare. "I'm sorry who are you two and why am I tied up in a chair?" I asked. The 20's guy answered. "My name is Michael O'laire and this is my cousin, Dice O'laire. We're sorry your absent for work today. But we sent your boss an excuse letter that you're coming with us and he agreed." I was shocked at what he said. "There were no people in the café earlier. How come my boss agreed--" "So you really are Mattheo Duncan." Dice interrupted. I just stared at him. I haven't even introduced myself, how did he knew my name? "How'd you know me?" I asked. "Beauregard told us to bring him a teenage boy to him who works at the café. The reason why you didn't see anyone at the café is that we put a hidden mist in it. Anyone who will see no one at the café is Mattheo Duncan." Dice told me. "Normal people will see that the café is full. But people like us, has powers in this place. Which adjust our eyesight from other people. That's why you didn't see anyone." Michael continued. "People like us? What do you mean 'people like us' what the hell does that mean!?" I shouted. "If you want to know the answer, meet us here in the same place, same time." Michael answered. And then I woke up, laying down in front of our apartment door. I stood up, my head was pounding but I managed. I entered our apartment and my mom rushed towards me and gave me a hug. I hugged her back. "God's sake thank you you're safe. Your boss told me your sick so you didn't go to work. I was worried Mattheo." My mom exclaimed. "When did he call?" I asked. "Just a minute ago" she answered. I was stunned. Just a minute ago? I've been out for hours. I looked at the time its only 3:35 pm. It has only been 5 minutes. But it felt like hours. I assured my mom I'm fine and that I needed rest. I went to my room and found a letter in my bed. I opened it and it said:
"After your classes end, go to
your bathroom in your school.
We told your boss you'll be absent
for 2 days. Once you entered the
bathroom, face the 3rd mirror in
the 3rd sink. Climbed in the sink
and then go inside the mirror. You'll
find what you want to know in that
mirror. Do this tomorrow and you'll
meet us again."
M.O & D.O
I put the letter inside my backpack and went to shower. I changed into more comfortable clothes and hopped on the bed. I just stared at the ceiling with a million questions in my head. Eventually, I got tired. So even though its still 3:35 in the afternoon, I ate the food my mom gave me and went to sleep thinking what would happen to me tomorrow.
