Amy started over from the beginning, informing Gary how the strange man had come to their school the other day, looking for his brother Hawk. Amy also revealed what Stacy had told her the day after, about how her best friend had known that they were meeting up with a gang member, one claiming to be part of the Grey Elephants.
Amy was talking a lot, explaining every little detail, even adding her own opinion as to how Raven might have gotten this information. The teenage girl felt incredibly guilty and wanted Gary to know that every step of the way
It didn’t take long for the police to be called to a particular devastating crime scene. Anton, Slough’s Chief of Police, was called due to the certain person who was involved in the matter. Currently, both sides of the tunnel were sealed off with special yellow police tape.The area close by was blocked off just in case any evidence might have been left behind, and finally there were only a few police officers at the scene taking photos. A higher tier town might have utilised more, but for the likes of Slough this could already be considered a la
Surprisingly, Gary had enjoyed the best night's sleep the teenager had had in a long time. One might think that the knowledge that both of Slough’s major gangs were after him, would make him sleepless…However, compared to Billy, a large Werewolf that had been going around killing people, the Grey Elephants gang seemed like less of a big deal. In a way, it was almost as if he had traded one problem for another. The only unfortunate thing about this entire situation was that it had involved Amy.
The sun had barely risen, leaving the town of Slough covered in a grey mist. It was an unusual sight for three students in particular because they had never woken up this early in their lives, much less come to school at such an hour.Innu was groggily walking up the stairs to the Westbridge’s roof and could see the door just a little ahead. The teenager was still in the middle of a stretch, yawning so wide that he could have fit his fist inside his mouth. When opening the door, he was surprised to see that he was apparently the last one to arrive.
Kai didn’t care that the two boys were bickering, as long as they were working hard, they could do whatever they wanted. Meanwhile, he had come over to Marie to give her special training. She had never been much of a fighter, so doing the same as the boys wouldn’t help her enough.When she had come to him with her request, Kai had been reluctant. In the past, he had always been there to take care of any problems she might have had. However, there hadn’t been much he could argue, once Marie had confessed that she was worried that she might get kidnapped
The group were all currently sitting on the floor, with a basket in the middle filled with the sandwiches Marie had made for them. They were nearly all gone, and Marie thought that training would soon start up again. That was until Austin asked the question that the boys wanted to know the answer to.As soon as Austin had finished speaking, Marie gave Kai a certain look. It was clear that she knew something and was wondering what his reply would be, whether or not Kai would tell them.
A few days had passed with nothing much happening. The news announced the death of Billy Bruntin and had reported that it was due to the Altered Hunters. Nothing big had happened with Gary since then and even when he saw Blake the two of them seemed to act normal with each other.There was one change though, after Amy had returned to school, Stacy was nowhere to be found. When she had asked their home room teacher about it, the adult woman didn’t know any of the specifics, having been told that the high school girl had transferred somewhere else.<
Since Innu had volunteered to inform the others, it was time for Gary to initiate his plan. Right now, the high school boy was waiting for the right moment to talk to Xin. First, he had to catch up to her, and she had a bit of a head start.While following Xin, he started to find something a little strange. It was the fact that she wasn’t heading out towards the school’s front gate. Instead, she was heading towards the backside of the school. The more he thought about it, the worse the feeling in his stomach was getting.
For a while, Gary had been playing out scenarios in which he would ask Xin out. How to make it sound casual and cool, and not at all desperate, needy or obsessive. Unable to find a solution, he had been lagging behind as he had followed her.However, when he saw she was faced with four men belonging to the red colour gang, he just had to act. Afterwards, Xin had demanded an explanation as to why he had been there… so he had admitted to the truth.
