AVA'S POV
I'm panicking again. I went from talking about a crush to being crushed in a matter of seconds. I knew this would be a bad day. Another threat. A detective. I know our case is nation wide but I didn't expect this.
"We need to talk to Cass." Sandra said panicked.
"Yeah." I swallow the lump in my throat.
"Who's Cass?" I heard someone asking behind us. That voice. I don't like where this is heading. He's not going to let this go.
We turn around. I going to correct myself. They are not going to let this go.
Mason and Colton stare back at us expecting an answer. Remembering the note and it's content. Sandra read my mind.
"What's wrong? Sandra you look a little pale." Mason asked again.
"Nothing."
"Come on do you really think you can lie to me." Mason said to her as worry floods his face. It's kinda cute watching him like this but at the same time I'm feeling really jealous. Why couldn't he have been as sweet as this when he was with me? Who knows maybe I won't have ran into Nathan. I won't have ran into trouble. Mom and Cole would have still been alive. I won't be crying every morning I wake up.
It's all your fault Mason.
I can't take this anymore. I pic my stuff and leave the room. Mason doesn't follow, Sandra doesn't talk but Colton comes.
"What do you want Colton?" I'm frustrated, angry, jealous, pained, hurt. Any other sad, black, dark emotion out there, I'm there. My head is swirling.
"Why are you crying?" Traitor tears. They start bursting out more rapidly the more I see them.
"Just leave me alone." I say. I start walking away from him.
"Some feds came too the principal's today." My insides clenched. "Must have had something to do with Nathan 'cause they were looking for him."
"Too bad they couldn't find him." I say wiping tears and heading towards the girls toilet. He didn't even think twice about following me into the toilet. "Some privacy needed."
"You know where Nathan is. Tell me." He's talking while I'm clean the mascara on my face. I don't even know why I apply this stuff. My face is always fucking perfect that I don't need all this stuff on my face. I carry some water and wash it off since it's already been smeared with the tears I cried.
"I don't know where he is okay." I'm exhausted with this guy's in my life.
"But you know something that's going on with him. Don't you?"
"I can't talk with you Colton later." I said heading towards the door but he stops in front of me blocking me from the door.
"I'm not going to force you to do what you don't want but I'm going find out what happened to my friend one way or another."
"Don't go poking around into what could kill ya, Colton." I left without even looking back.
If only he knew was trying to save his ass. I hope he doesn't get his nose in a sticky situation.
I get back to where I left Mason and Sandra. When I open the door. I see them massaging and enjoying each others body. I tap the table a little to get attention. When they face me a smirk is plastered all over my face once I see the hickey directly under neck.
"Mason, I'm sorry to interrupt but I need to talk to Sandra alone please."I said giving him my cutest set of eyes.
Once he leaves, I start.
"So are you official or is this one off your shags?"
"We were always official."
"Right." The silence in the air is tense. We both know what's going on in the others mind but how to face the problem is the trouble.
"I'm skipping today." Sandra said.
"You serious?" She nods.
"Like serious serious?"
Nods.
"I thought you wanted to keep a clean record in school this year?"
"Never planned for this year to be this fucked up. No use being a goody-goody in a tough spot." She said parking her stuff.
"Okay, but we're are we going?"
"We?"
"Do you really think I'd let you go and be here." I say while she still staring at me.
"Innuendos'."
"Perfect. Let's get out of this hellhole."
Sneaking out of the school is easy stuff. We make our way to the back of the school during class periods so that no one sees us. We fly over the fence by stacking some bricks that were around the corner on top off the other.
Innuendos' is a local club slash bar that came around few years ago. Sandra and I come hear to drink or get high if need comes. I was only intending on drinking a little but now I'm high but not too gone. I'm dancing on the floor when some idiot grabs my waist.
"Hey babe." The bastard was smirking while holding my waist. I get lose from his grip and pour the remaining drink in the cup violently on his face.
"Bitch." The guy wipes his face with his hands.
He raised his arm to give me a slap but someone holds his arm.
Nathan.
"Sorry, Derrick she's a spoilt little brat a times." Nathan said to him smiling towards him.
"Tis' crazy chick yours?" The guy asked.
"Yeah. Sorry about her shit."
"If she's yours then no need to apologize." The dude glanced at him and chuckled before leaving. Nathan back at me with a really pissed if look on his face.
He grabs my arms sending tingles down the arm but it's short. He takes me towards the exit.
"What the hell do you think your doing Aves?" He's really pissed.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me right Missy?"
"A guy tried to grab my ass and your yelling at me. Are you going nuts?" I'm getting angry because of him.
"Well if you hadn't left school and came here twerking like someone who is ready to give a guy a lap dance you wouldn't be in that situation."
"I'm sorry you had to become my mom after leaving the house because I was having fun." This boy is really annoying me.
"At least my mom raised someone a little more responsible than you."
"More responsible as a druggie or responsible as a speedster who messes other people's life with shit?"
"I may have been a druggie but didn't turn out to be a whore."
"I may be a whore but I didn't kill my mother." That line hurt him but he wasn't willing to back down. I was already feeling guilty about what I said.
"Trust me if your mom and brother didn't die in that plane, they would have died from the disappointment you turned out to be. Pretty sure your old man is having is about to die as we speak from a fucking heart- attack that you give him." Fuck feeling guilty.
I give him a slap.
A well deserved slap.
How dare he. He knew what they meant to me and he used that on me. The fucking son of a bitch said that to me.
"Bitch." He holds his face where I slapped.
"Mother- fucker." I hate him. I hate him so much.
"Let's get you home." He takes my hand although it's still sending the goosebumps I brushed it off almost immediately.
"Don't touch me asshole! I can walk my self."
"Who said I was giving you an option." He said.
Before I could take his hands of me we were in the apartment.
"Get your hands off me, Nathan."
"Not like I'd want to hold something as fucked as you."
"So Nathan Audrey is the speedster. It's an interesting development to my case." I look back to see Sandra and a blonde man seating on the sofa next to us.
"Samson Strucker. FBI."
"Your the detective." I asked.
"You know him." Nathan asked which earns him a glare from me. I look down. Funny thing is he's actually let go of my hand and I'm the one holding him.
SAMSON'S POV
This is a really interesting house expensive. Must have been a lot of money pumped inside but from where?
I did my research on the scientist Mrs. Anderson before coming here and there is nothing out of he ordinary about her. Well I'm about to find out. It'd be a shame to have a nice woman like that thrown in jail. Any ways back to business.
The speedster and Mrs. Anderson are with me in the guestroom which had a living room, a bedroom. It's own separate kitchen and every other stuff. I'd need more than a year salary to pay for this. I'm deviating again, am I? You can't blame me though. I'm oppressed.
The girls went to another room to talk to about stuff before coming back here.
When Miss Chrisland comes with the other girls.
"Officer the psycho said I should narrate everything going on to you through this note." She hands it over to me frightened. I read the note. The kid is good but is he telling the future.
An inhuman that could tell the future that could explain alot of why his predictions are good but the paralysis stuff he does makes me think otherwise.
She narrates her first experience with him how she met Nathan. How she was Kidnapped, when she was Kidnapped, showed me text and calls she has received from him and even Nathan shed some light on what he suffered when he met him three times. From their explanation this guy has really shaken them. Mrs. Karen was there.
"So Mrs. Karen. . ."
"Doctor. . ."
"Dr. Karen. . . What kind off experiments where you all conducting that caused all this drama."
"I'm not at liberty to say that." She said.
"Why is that?"
"Because it's a top government project and I cannot discuss facts with you unless given permission from the previous President of the United States Dr. Axel Howard."
That's not possible he's dead. He died as I was on my way here. It was a murder or suicide I'm not sure. I'm heading to his scene after this place.
"Anybody else I can get permission from?"
"None that I know of."
"Okay then. That would be all for today."
"Thank you officer." I almost leaving when Nathan calls me back.
"Officer. I need you to help me do some research on a cult. I can't do that 'cause I don't have the resources and Karen here won't share. Help me dig up on the Los Illuminados."
This kid in particular is on to something and doesn't want to say he and the other girl with ebony skin. My detective instinct is kicking me.
"You know something about the Los Illuminados Dr."
"We had a run in with them when they wanted to make a deal but the president handled it well."
Okay then later.
AVA'S POV
When the officer left we head upstairs leaving the guestroom.
"You guys have some explaining to do to us now."
Speaking of the devil. No. I shouldn't be.
"Colton." Nathan said smiling.
"Please tell me you guys didn't hear?" Sandra said worried.
"We did, what's wrong?"
"No." Sandra said then looks at me dejected sad and mad. "I can't take this anymore." She goes up stairs with tears running down her eyes.
I couldn't move. I'm frozen. I'm dead. They're dead.
Any body else that finds out about this dies.
If anyone else finds out.
Author's Note
Guys this is a short chapter than the others and I apologize but i feel the chapters are going to be shorter now to keep the suspense. So what is the Psycho going to tell Ava? What's Mason and Colton's fate? Are we going to find out more about the Los Illuminados? By the way about the Los Illuminados would you guys like to concentrate more on the psycho and leave the Los Illuminados as a sequel or should we continue the story together your choice. Vote and comment very important. You guys are doing great. Thanks.
