Chapter 48

The car came to an abrupt halt. We must be by the dump sight. So far, it wasn’t looking good for Matthew, but he was holding his own. I heard their doors open and slammed shut before the trunk opened up. They hoisted me out first and then Jet. I was probably a hundred meters walked before they dropped me hard on the ground.

“What is going on here?” I heard Matthew asked, annoyed.

“We have been to the house. It looks staged. So tell me, what really happened? Are they actually dead?” I heard Mr. McClear’s voice. It sounded more evil with each word.

“Yes, they are. Tell me, do you not trust me?” Matthew sounded angry. “Whoa! A gun? Really?”

Shit. This isn’t good. “I dont believe you.” Boom! The gun went off. I felt a sharp hot pain in my foot but it wasn’t my pain, it was Jet’s. “Oh look, blood that is flowing still.”

“We need a distraction.” Jet mutter in the mind-link. The pain in his voice was heartbreaking.

I didn’t know what to do. “Like what?” I asked Jet.

“Make it rain.”
