Chereads / THE REUNION / Chapter 12 - CHAPTER TWELVE

Chapter 12 - CHAPTER TWELVE

Skyler and Quinn are baffled by their recent find. Pictures date back to at least three years ago. Skyler points to one in particular, one that he remembers clearly.

"Look, five years ago," he continues, "the city championship final."

"We've been getting watched for that long?" Asks Quinn.

"Seems like it," replies Skyler.

He begins ripping the photos from the wall, and they can't afford to leave any evidence. Quinn rushes back to the opposite side, tearing down the geographical maps.

They tear down all the evidence and stuff it into a bin. They'll have to come back later and dispose of it completely.

"Ok, we come back here later and burn this shi -"

Before Skyler can finish his sentence, another wall slides open. They both look up to the right-hand corner of the room, and they see a CCTV camera moving.

"He's watching us," Quinn continues, "he wants us to go this way."

Skyler stares at the corridor that leads to another dark abyss. Suddenly, Quinn's phone rings.

"Answer it," Skyler continues, "I'll hid the bin."

She takes her phone from her pocket, and the caller ID reads, "Jack."

"Hello, Jack," she says.

"Quinn, listen to me," Jack continues, "I've had someone look into Skyler. Quinn, they just got back to me."

Quinn gulps quietly.

"He spent three years in an asylum." Jack continues, "Quinn, it's Skyler, get away from him. Quinn, he hasn't been playing basketball for UCD. He's lied to us all. Qui -"

The calls cut off. Quinn slowly turns her head, not wanting to make any sudden moves. She catches Skyler, putting the bin into the corridor with him. He turns back towards her.

"Come on, Quinn," Skyler continues, "Let's go."

She backs away cautiously. Skyler's eyebrows turn inward. He extends his hand, nodding his head.

"Quinn, come on," he says.

Quinn attempts to run from the room. Skyler gives chase after her. He grabs her arm, pulling her back.

"Quinn, what's going on?" Skyler asks.

She knees him south of the belt as Skyler falls to the ground. She notices the wall beginning to close. She rushes for it as Skyler stands to his feet. She just narrowly manages to squeeze through, separating herself from Skyler.

"QUINN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he shouts.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" she yells.
