"Meaning?" Lily asked calmly.
I could see a nerve about to pop out from the corner of her head. I hope Alex isn't the reason for that.
"Meaning she knows me and Allen. I think it's better for you to stay here. If she suspects you then I am sure either she will scream, call for the police or maybe run away. When I approached her I tried my best to calm her down but it seemed to have made a wrong impact…" Alex said in a low voice.
"Oh really? Then what use are you off?" Lily said.
"..."
"Alright then, Alex. I understand your concern but I still have to take a look. I need to have a clue about the place I have to go in at least," I said.
"Didn't hear me? I said you would make her suspicious and worse you wouldn't be able to talk with her." Alex seemed quite desperate.
I guess something did happen between him and her in his elementary time period but still, they were kids with their snot in their hands. What could have possibly gone wrong with them?
"I am asking so either you can come with me or let me go since it's a much more important matter to me than you think," I said.
"..."
Usually, he would have tried to say something to break the tension but this time he didn't. Alright then, it's confirmed I'm going to use that thing to lure out that girl.
"Allen, even if you have made up your mind, what are you really going to do if you find her in there?" Lily asked.
"Yeah what will you do once you find her? It's not like she will open up to you instantly." Alex said.
"Are both of you not listening to me? I just said I will take a look at it and not talk with her. Where are your thoughts?" I said.
"Allen."
"Alright wait for me I will go and take a quick look at it," I said and opened the gate.
…
I got out and started to move towards the same alley we saw yesterday. If I am not wrong it should be around here.
I saw a glimpse of that girl but soon disappeared. It hasn't been too long since Alex came back so I had already guessed she would be around here.
I tried to look for an alternative route, since she has been using this route before then it's for sure that people who she meets know about it.
I surveyed the area but there was no other path that leads there. Is it because it's the only path she chose to go from here or was it because it's the only path to go in there?
Whatever the case maybe I have to look inside. At least have an idea who I am dealing with.
I slowly went inside, I heard noises but it was faint. The alley was much darker and longer than I had imagined. Taking each step carefully I placed my hand on either side of the wall, if I had to bump into something then I should be able to know how to react to it.
The noises started to become much louder but still faint, some lights seemed to have lightened up the place but it was too dull. I came to a dead-end, I noticed a couple of people standing at the entrance of what I would like to say it, but because of no lights, they couldn't see me.
I quietly took a peek inside. With one eye-popping out of the wall, I saw a bunch of people talking among themselves, at first sight, it seemed like a normal friend gathering but soon things started to become noticed. I noticed a small injection or syringe in their hands, not all but most. One even had a bottle of beer. What the hell? He is even shorter than me. And what's that? Is that a toy gun? Or a real one?
As I was surprised by its sight I didn't forget the main point of me coming here. I rolled my eyes around and extended my view, pink, pink.
Where is pink…?
That's when I saw a girl wearing the same or similar outfit as Ariana, I wanted to make sure and confirm it but I was too late. I was exposed, as I tried to lean more the person standing at the entrance noticed my presence.
"Who are you?" He asked.
As he said, several eyes looked in my direction. I should have guessed it, if they are doing something illegal then it's possible for them to be on alert at all times.
"I am Scizor," I said.
"Huh? Why? We don't know you, get the f**k out of here right now." the other guy imposed.
"..."
I tried to run but apparently, one of them held onto my collar and pulled me behind. Revealing my face to all.
But fortunately, I was already prepared for such circumstances. I had worn a face mask in order to hide my face from getting revealed to all.
"Who's this kid?"
Someone from behind said.
"I don't know but he was sneaking around. What should we do with him?" the one who pulled me behind said.
"What's happening here?" A person from within the crowds came. The light fell onto his face and for a moment I was in a bit of shock and amazed by the fact he was here.
"Boss he seems to have been lurking around. Should we let him go?"
*Smack*
The one who he called the boss slapped him on the face.
"Are you an idiot? Let him go? He has seen us so we can't let him go like this. Have you forgotten what happened to the last person who tried to snitch us?" He said arrogantly with a devilish smile that seemed to be scaring everyone.
"And now that I see him up close I think I have seen him before…" He came closer to me. "Remove your mask."
He ordered.
"..." I can't let him know it is me.
Why? Because he is our School's President.
What's he doing here? I don't know but if he is here then it's entirely possible for him to persuade Ariana to record that video.
"Didn't you hear me? Take that thing off." He said. He was pissed.
His eyes were red but not completely, he wasn't even standing properly, he was shaking up while his eyes weren't focused. It's for sure he was also one of the drug users.
"You are ruining the mood man… just take that thing off or I might have to force you." His breath was also staggering.
The person behind came at me. Is he following his orders now?
I need to get away from here fast because if Ariana gets the gist of me following her it would all be in vain.
Before he charges at me I should. I lunged forward and shoved aside the trembling President onto the ground while I tried to run from the grasp of the other person. I placed my leg on the President's back and jumped up a little in order to knee the person charging at me. As both of them were on the ground, the people there fell silent. The other person watching this came at me but he was full of openings that if I had closed my eyes I would have won.
I punched him in the face, I heard a cracking sound, did I break his nose?
He screamed as blood came pouring out, I guess I really did.
With no one coming at me I instantly dashed out. Not because I wanted to run away, yeah I did want to get away but there was another main reason. It was because there was a person holding a gun. It could have been a fake or real but the question was not something that I should risk my life to know the answer to.
Without looking back I paced down the alley, took a turn, and didn't stop till I reached the car.
"We need to leave now," I said.
"Wh-What's happening?" Panicking Lily asked.
"Just go, go," I told the driver and he must have gotten the hint.
He started the car Alex and Lily stormed with questions.
…
It took some time to calm both of them down.
"It's me who ran here, it's also me who came here in a hurry so why are you the ones making a fuzz?" I asked.
"..."
"I think I found their hideout," I said.
"Where?" Alex asked anxiously.
"Apparently it's not some small group but a whole organization sort of thing. All sorts of people were there, but Ariana wasn't talking with anyone."
"Huh?"
"Anyway, I think I know how to single out Ariana in order to talk with her," I said.
"And what's that?" Lily asked.
"We wait."
TO BE CONTINUED…
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Meaning?" Lily asked calmly.
