Chapter 79There were loud echoes of car honking sounds coming from the area where the rest of the cars were packed. It was the one sound that woke them up from their sleep. It had been morning and none of them expected to be woken up that soon by the car honk.Shawn quickly opened his eyes after that, he felt the bed he slept on was really tight, which was rather weird. He walked up to the window to open the curtains for a little sunshine.“Ohhh shit! What are you two doing here. . .?" Shawn asked, realizing that the whole time, he had been sharing his bed with his friends, which was rather weird and awkward to him. He had never done that before.“Come on Shawn, you don't have to make this obvious, we have been in more uncomfortable places than this, so please give it a break!” Mike mumbled as he struggled between keeping his eyes open and keeping up a fight with the sleep in his eyes.“This is just crazy. . .” Shawn muttered.He found out that who had not spoken since was the one wh
Chapter 80A sharp knock came banging on the door, one, too many times. He walked to the door while he tried to tuck his shirt into his neatly sewn trousers.“Who is at the door?" Shawn asked as he clicked the door open.“Hi!" A man uttered, standing at the door.“Hello, do you need anything?" Shawn asked, holding on tightly to the door. He had no idea who he was, and was ready to bang the door in his face if he tried to do something crazy. Shawn was already too careful to be deceived by anyone.“The students are being called out, the meeting is about to begin and everyone is needed to be seated in the School's town hall,” the man said to Shawn “Sorry, what is that?" Shawn asked, confused.“Ohhh you're a fresher over here? Ask your friends… I bet they have been here longer than you have been, they should know,” the man smiled on his way out, and Shawn quickly closed the door behind him as he turned to give Mike and Leah a stare.“What…?" They both chorused.“What did he mean when he
Chapter 81“You…!!” Erica mumbled, with her weakened fingers pointing at the man who stood before her. It was clear that the man was with them.“Shawn!!!” she let out her last breath before she went numb, dashing into a deep sleep.Shawn's POV.I arrived at the elevator door just spot on. My thoughts were that before I arrived, she must have been on the ground already begging for her last breath, but it turned out differently.I needed to make sure she did not see my face, but she did. The next big mistake I was not going to make was to let her escape this. I had been told before I got to the third floor that her men had been around looking for her on her way down… surely they would not have a chance to find her."Is she completely out?" I asked the guy who was with her in the elevator.“Yes, she is!" He said, helping me carry her to the room by our right.That was where we were going to transport her back downstairs to the back of the building… There was a car there waiting to take h
Chapter 82Shawn's POV.There came a knock on my door. This time I was not sure if it was Mike or Leah who was at the door. But the knock now was getting heavier and the only thing I could think of was knowing the person who stood at my door.I walked up closer, placing my ear to the door.“Shawn!! Are you in there, open the door!" Mike's voice echoed behind the door.I quickly turned the knob to open the door, and when I did, Mike rushed in like he had been running for a very long time.“Where have you guys been and what happened back there?" I asked curiously.“It's bad, man… really bad out there. We were chased by some guys, I think they are the police or some thug Erica must have sent to find us,” Mike said.“Speaking of us…? Where is Leah?" “She was just behind me.”The door swung open, making my heart leap in fear.“Leah!!! Where have you been!" I yelled in shock immediately as she saw her walk through the door.“Uhhh, I…” She stuttered, trying to catch her breath as much as sh
Chapter 83“There is nothing you can do now Shawn… it's all over!” a voice from the door yelled.“Fuck!!” Shawn panicked as he began to pace around thinking what next he was going to do… There was no Pedro who would help, surely there was no one on their side and soon, one way or the other, the person behind the door from the other end was going to hit the door down.“I'm going to open the door guys, there is possibly no way we will run to now,” Shawn said to the rest of them but there was no definite reply as all of them buried their face to the ground.Shawn walked to the door slowly and calmly. He held onto the door knob wishing he did not start this in the first place, that he listened to his father the first time he mentioned this.Shawn opened the door, accepting his date, but when he opened his eyes after taking in, what looked to be his last breath of freedom, he saw a man on some rag cloth standing before him. “Umm, are you going to arrest us? Or…” Shawn stuttered in disbeli
Chapter 84Shawn could feel his heart thump hard, he felt his breath get heavy every second, and he felt his knees shake, but he dared not look at the door...“What's happening Shawn?” They both chorused.“This is not good…!!” Shawn whispered…Leah glared at Shawn from where she had been the whole time, she wondered what must have gone wrong and why he had been acting that way over a simple knock on the door.“Come on, it should be Neal who had just come back from wherever he went to, it has to be!" leah Said with no form of doubt on her face.“By sunset, that was when he said he would be back. And I just had this same dream, it's something worse and I am sure it's not Neal at the door,” Shawn said, standing by his words.“Is this some kind of vision you saw? Or a prophecy of some sort? Because that for sure isn't true. I will open the door now," Mike said boldly, springing up from his place straight to the door.”“Hey! Hey!!! Mike, don't do that... Do not do that, I promise you, we a
Chapter 85 Shawn's POV “MIKE NO!!!!” I screamed as I launched in towards Mike to get the gun from him just when he clenched his fist to the gun and pulled the trigger. There was a gunshot in the car. Leah screamed at the top of her voice, I guess someone had been killed, I thought the same too. “The kids are crazy, what is wrong with you? I guess I will just have to do what I needed to do long before now,” Neal yelled, struggling to get the gun from our hands. Luckily for everyone in the car, no one was hurt, but the driver had lost control of the car and had run the car into a building that was yet to be completed. “What the fuck!! You all are dead right now," the driver mumbled from his seat after he hit his head on the car wheels “Hey!! Better don't try shit,” I yelled, getting the gun from Mike and immediately pointing it at the man's face. “What are you doing Shawn? Do you want to shoot us? Then do it!” If there was anything I didn't like, it was getting tempted by some
Chapter 86 Shawn could not believe it... Even Leah could not stand it when she heard Erica was still alive. It felt like their whole life flashed in front of them and that they had been loving, in what looked like a lie. “How did she get to live? And how did she escape with a drug in her body?" The questions kept ringing in Shawn's mind. The guys knew there was definitely no way Erica could have woken up that fast to make these orders, except she had done it before the capture or she had someone she was working with. “Can you believe this? Cause I know he is lying... That's not possible!" Mike stated angrily as he moved closer to him for more clarification on what he said earlier. “Why are you lying? Erica was taken away, wasn't she?" Mike mumbled as his hands stuffed the collars of the driver. “Why are you not believing me? It's the truth and there is nothing else I have to tell you. That's it,” the man said but this time, with a reaction that told him that he was angry no one b
