~~~ Cyrus's Point of View ~~~
I am sleeping peacefully when the jerk barges in my room.
"Cyrus, are you awake?" he asks turning the lights on,
"I am now," I say scowling,
"Alright, you're getting out today. As I told you, you won't be fully free. Sure you can go to school and stuff, but you will still be working for us," he says it like it was no big deal,
"There's no way I am working with the Silent Man," I reply,
"Oh, you're not working with us. That's a big step. You are working for us," he says grinning,
"Why would I work for a crime lord?" it's clear I would never do that,
"Because you love your family and friends," he continues, "Now, this will be the phone you use with us. We will tell you where to meet us, the
~~~ Jackson's Point of View ~~~I didn't feel bad at the time but now I feel really bad for punching him. He hasn't been back yet. Not that I expected him to, but it still worries me. Also, since I promised Mr. Issac I would keep a close eye on him. When I punched him, I didn't expect him to be back by the first 30 minutes, but it's been hours and he's still not back yet."Should we report it?" I ask completely worried,"No. He needs time after you yelled at him and punched him," Sally snaps. I seriously don't understand her problem,"Do you still think it is my fault?" I ask,"I will always think it's your fault," she says without even bothering to glance at me,"You know I-" I get cut off,"I don't want to hear it, Jack," she puts a hand in my face to stop me."Can
~~~ Cyrus's Point of View ~~~(Quick recap) We get to another door after a while of walking. A more complicated door than the first one. He types a different code for this one as he gives me his phone and tells me to put both of them in the box. It is some kind of machine where you have to tap the screen for it to open. I drop the phone before he opens the door again.He opens it wider than the first one and- HOLY SHIT!When the door opens, it reveals about a hundred people sitting. Do all these people work for him?"Come on," Nathaniel motions for me to follow him, which I did."WHAT. THE...!" I yell attracting all attention to my side. Frankly, that's the least of my worries when I am sitting right behind dead people?"Weren't they-? How the hell-?" I could form a proper sentenc
~~~ Cyrus's Point of View ~~~"We need to expose the Silent Man," Christoffer says as my eyes widen in surprise,"What?" Nathaniel asks also not believing his ears,"Unless you guys want to work for him for the rest of your life," Christoffer says raising his eyebrows,"Um, how exactly are we going to do that? You know no one can take him down. He has people all over the town that can kill us in a snap," Nathaniel says looking at me in an 'I am not sure' way,"We are not going to reveal him now," Christoffer says in a 'duh' voice,"Then when?" I ask completely confused,"We need to go deeper. Find out who else works for him. What he does, what the best time to expose him is," that doesn't seem like a bad idea,"I mean, what if we get caught?" Nathaniel asks,
~~~ Cyrus's Point of View ~~~I wake up the next morning to my phone ringing on my nightstand. I check the caller ID. It's Nathaniel. What does he want this early?"I was sleeping. What do you want?" yup, I get aggressive when someone wakes me up from my peaceful sleep,"Are you insane, dude? Didn't pay attention when he said we have a meeting tomorrow morning?" he says,"Shit. I will be down in 10,""I'll be counting," he hangs up.I grab my clothes and get in the washroom. I don't have time to shower so I just wash my face and brush my teeth before getting dressed. I grab my bag when I get out of the washroom and run downstairs. I quickly grab a sandwich from the fridge before running out the door."It's too early. Where are you going?"
~~~ Cyrus's Point of View ~~~Nope, definitely wrong. My new group of friends is the worst. I doubt there's single equipment I haven't used in the whole gym. I couldn't walk, they had to carry me to the car."You're the worst. I can't even breathe," I say panting hard,"Stop being such a lazy ass, we're doing this every day," Chad says,"You know, that's the funniest thing you've said since...well, since I met you," I say in between panting,"Yeah, I wish it was a joke," he replies,"But it is," I smirk,"But it's not," he raises his eyebrows as a challenge,"It is, trust me," I say shaking my head turning back to the window,"Can you two stop fighting like babies back there. We're going to the gym tomorrow," Christoffer says from the driver's seat,"Guys, I have studying to do. I don't have all the time in
~~~ Jack's Point of View (Back to the night when he went to Cyrus's house) ~~~ "I just forgot my house key. I put it here earlier and forgot it," I say walking over to the nightstand to get it. I pick it up and walk out of the door and shut the door while I pretend to be gone. Which is when they start talking,"You've been hanging out with him?", "Did you tell him about the Silent Man?", "Does he know that I am Christoffer and not Carter?"What the freak?! Christoffer? the Silent Man? Did this man lose his memories or was I right the first time I said he was just pretending?"Guys relax. He just came by earlier to check on me and ask me if we could hang out one day and catch up about things. I don't even talk to him. You guys know that better than anyone," he says trying to calm them down but it looks like they don't s
~~~ Jack's Point Of View ~~~"Ready?" I ask once Alice and Sally were in the car,"Yeah, but you're sure they will be at the gym?" Alice asks still unsure,"Yes, I am sure Alice, don't worry," I say as I start the car and drive to the gym.We drive in silence, everyone looking out the window. We drive for like half an hour before I notice cars parked. I slow down and park the car on the opposite side of the gym. We get off the car and hide behind the bushes."When exactly is he getting out?" Sally says looking at the time,"I saw him get out at 6 last time," I shrug,"An hour and a half? It's 4:30 right now," Sally whisper-yells,"I know that," as if it's not obvious,"I am not sitting here for an hour," she complains,"Then just go, Sally," I snap annoyed,"Fine. I
~~~ Cyrus's Point of View (Back to the time they were caught) ~~~"You only have one more chance," Theo blubbers as my thoughts race through all the possibilities that led me to this time. I don't focus on anything he says as I am deep in my thought. I don't realize anything that is happening until everyone starts gasping and looking in horror at the door. I turn around to see that horror that made everyone gasp."Holy-" I am cut by Theo,"Nini?" he says with a shocked expression clear on his face,"Uncle Theo? You're the Silent Man, aren't you?" Alice says as she starts crying. They grab her and run out of there as soon as possible.Everyone turns to Theo on what to do next but it seems like he has nothing to say."Do whatever you want," Theo waves us off as everyone starts to scurry out of there,"Do whatever you want?" I ask raising my eyebrows,"I've done enough. I've got what I
