Chapter 20
~~~ 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

~~~ Cyrus's Point of View ~~~We're sitting at the court and...IT'S HELL!Everyone's arguing whether or not we have to go to jail. It was explained that we were forced into this but people still think we should go to jail?I turn around to see Jack and the rest sitting behind me. I don't say anything. I turn back around and look straight forward without paying any attention to anything. Until the whole court silences down.It's decided? We're going to jail? Oh my god. I can't finish my senior year with my friends?"Oh my god, I am so happy sweetheart," Nate's mom says as she engulfs him with a big hug and kisses.She is happy that he's going to jail?"Congrats, dude," Christoffer says as he comes my way to shake my hand,"For going to jail?" I ask in disbelief,
The Crimes Of The Silent Man Chapter 28
Not going to lie, I thought today would be just fine. I told myself it would be a normal day, but how would it be?It was a disaster, to say the least. People would be staring at us and whisper to each other loudly enough for us to hear what they were saying.Some would say, "Aren't these the ones that were working for the Silent Man?"Or, "Oh my god, can you believe Christoffer Derrick is Alive?"We were so tired of the gossips. It was so childish. Now it's finally time to get away from these dorks and do community service. Another disaster, but I guess it's better than thousands of eyes being on you.We are driving to the beach to pick up garbage. For 3 hours."Is it fun for you yet?" Fate sarcastically says to Nate,"Whatever," Nate shuts him off.We walk around the beach picking up garbage. So boring.I guess it's better than jail...About two hours later
