2020-11-09 00:40:15I woke up to the sound of my alarm, ah I hate that thing, but it's what I need since I'm a heavy sleeper. I manage to get out of bed. After turning off the damn thing, I drag my lazy body to the bathroom to get myself prepared for the day. I got down the stairs to see my parents at the dinning table eating breakfast.
"good morning mum and dad" I say kissing both their cheeks.
"good morning sweetheart" mum greets. "good morning son, trust you had a good night's rest"? dad replies"yes dad, I did"
"so, what are plans for today"
"uhm, I'm gonna meet up with some friends"
"are you guys gonna be studying"?
"no dad, we're just gonna go out....you know, to the stadium"
"you know we've talked about this a about a hundred times. You need to mind the kind of friends you keep. Birds of the...... "
".....same feathers flock together, yeah I know that coz you've told me that countless number of times already.<signs>
"look dad, I'm know you're saying all this for my own good but I'm not a child anymore. And besides I'm being careful with the kind of friends I keep, so you don't need to worry so much about me, okay? "
<sign>"what on earth will I do with you"
"honey, I think we need to give the boy some space, he's definitely not a baby anymore " mum tries to reason with dad."I know he's not a child anymore, all I'm trying to point out is that he should be extra careful about those he chooses as friends ".
The conversation keeps going on between them and I move into the private space in my head as I finish up the rest of my breakfast.
"bye mum and dad" I kiss them both on their cheeks and head out, not giving them room to say anything to me.
I walk the 10 miles from my house to school so that I can let some air into my head. I know my dad wants the best for me but you've got to admit it, he's taking it way too far. He thinks he can tell me how to live my life all in the name of 'wanting the best for your life'....come on...that's just LAME.On getting to the school gate I spot my friends at a corner. Below is a quick description of my friends.
Jason is my best friend, we've been friends since we were kids. Evan joined the gang in middle school. He was a little bit on the rough side before we came into the picture, but I guarantee that he's good now...or so I guess. Then last but not the least we have Carl, Jason's brother. He's a freshman in the highschool we attend hence we let him join in the gang so he won't feel left out.
Back to the present, I walk up to them and we greet each other but the greeting doesn't end with just a simple 'hi' or 'hello' coz they teased the hell out of me.
Why?...well because over the weekend we went to this weird underground basement that looks like an abandoned parking lot. There we met some guys from a gang outside of town called the Reapers,they just started establishing their operations in Oak field.
They were looking for minions that they could use to penetrate the young population and it just so happened that we were the best candidate.
Evan of course taught of it as a golden opportunity for him to 'shine', hence he was the one who contacted them and saw it great to drag us along.
To cut the long story short, Evan and I argued which led to Jason's intervention, which led to the Reapers daring us to the drinking of these weird stuff that looks like a concoction, which eventually led to me chickening out due to the level of grossness in the so called drink.
END OF FLASHBACKSo now I'm back from my little blast from the past and I'm thinking of a way to shut these guys up.
"guys guys, can you just listen"
They all stopped and looked at me like I'm about to give a very serious verdict.
"I was thinking maybe we should just chill for today "I said, and the look on their faces is nothing to write home about.
Jason: what
Carl: no way
Evan: bullshit man
I knew this was not gonna go out as planned so I tried to reason it out with them.
"come on guys, we can't keep hanging out all the time whilst neglecting our studies "
"oh just cut the crap, using an excuse like studies is just lame man... not cool" Evan speaks first.
"yeah, I agree with Evan " says Carl.
"dude if you didn't want to go, you should have just said so earlier" Jason points out.
I couldn't deny it so I just kept quiet. The guys took it as their cue to leave so they did, but not before giving me their disappointed looks. I did feel bad about it though but I just wasn't in the mood to hang out today.

Secrets (1A)
"Cole! ""Cole?! ""Cupcake?! "His teammates caught up to him just as he rounded the corner where they were. They rushed to his side asking if he was okay, but he was too shaken to make out anything they were saying, so he just stared at them blankly.Oscar had timed the whole thing perfectly. He knew the time Cole's teammates would get to the nearest area closest to his hideout. He had watched their every step from the moment he had their location pinned. It was easier also to get Cole there since he was still in the shock phase.They hurriedly moved him to the car, worry evident in their tense bodies. They worried that something terrible might wrong with their friend.The ride back to the house was relatively fast. By the time they got to the house Nico was already there with a team of medics.Conny and Jeff were the first to come out of the car with Cole on their arms. They dragged a lifel
Game Plan (1)
After Oscar dropped the bomb on me, he opt and left the dinning area leaving me to deal with the gravity of the revelation. Back at my holding room, I sat on my bed still holding the pictures and staring at the images as if staring at them much longer would make the images change. In the picture, Harry wore his favorite black leather biker jacket. It was the first thing I recognized. The jacket had a symbol of a hand with way too many fingers spreading out making it look like a tree. I remembered asking Harry what that symbol meant and him telling me in one word 'FREEDOM '. Thoughts keep roaming through my head as I fall into a very restless sleep, my exhaustion taking over completely. The next morning, I'm woken up by the same guard from yesterday. "I'm to get you ready for breakfast " he says simply and moves to pull up the cutains I didn't even realize was there in the first place. Come to think of it, it doesn't even feel like I'm a prisoner. I'm definitely not treated
Harry
"Well Cole, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Oscar " he raised his hands towards me, for a handshake....a handshake! But whatever, I took his hands."Okay, back to business.... " he retracted his hand."....tell me Cole, what were you and your crew doing in that warehouse? "Was he talking about that abandoned building we were supposed to meet our supposed client. Wait!....was he the client we were supposed to meet?"Cole! I asked a question " I felt my throat slowly getting dry again,"We were supposed to meet a client there " I answered."What client? " he asked"We were meant to deliver weapons to him and collect payment....... ""And? ""It was supposed to be a simple delivery.....just one simple transaction. But they double crossed us. Those bastard double crossed us " I spoke in whispers as I reminisce the event in my head. I felt my head began to throb due to the me
Oscar
The pain at the back of my head jolted me out of my subconsciousness. Instant panic flooded me as I realized I was in an unfamiliar surrounding, my arms and legs tied to the chair I was placed in. I remembered being in a wild car chase with whoever wanted us dead. I remembered almost reaching the crossroad and the unknown car slamming into ours, then me blacking out. Oh gosh, we've been abducted. My greatest fear now coming into play, and maybe even worse....me not making it out alive. As futile as it might seem, I did what any normal person in my shoes would have done, and that was........to scream for help. "h-help! " I screamed as loud as my lungs could allow "somebody help me! " I screamed again, but my voiced echoed back at me. I scanned the room one last time before deciding to give my voice one final trial.
Second mission (3)
Edgar.......... I have to go on a mission where I could probably loose my life and Nico is choosing Edgar to protect me? Now I'm wishing I had taken the self defense lessons seriously.I can understand now why Julian and the rest were angry, how could Nico have even taught of something like that. Practically everyone knows how much Edgar hates my guts...the guy even hates my entire existence, and I have to go with him? I should probably just kill myself right now and get it over with."I think Nico is going nuts " Blake immediately we entered our house"Ya think?....dude has gone nuts already! " Mike said"I can't believe he's sending Cole on a suicide mission " Jeff huffed"guys, can you please?! " I said a little more aggressively than I had intended. Their fault though, they didn't have to keep rubbing it on my face.I dragged myself lazily up the s
Second mission (2)
Last night was the first time I had ever seen Julian snap. He was always more of the calm and collected one amongst all of us. That led me thinking that whatever had made him snap like that, definitely wasn't good. And just like Nico had said, the production of the M-16 kicked off. Julian was still pissed off by the recklessness of Nico but there was only much he could do about it since he was just Nico's second in command. The client who goes by the name of Vermont, ordered for 500 pieces of M-16. If I was suspicious before as to why he needed a prototype weapon that hasn't completely been tested. I was now more suspicious that he ordered for that much. Don't get me wrong, him ordering that much ammunition was good business since he was paying a really hefty price. I was only questioning why he would want an ammunition that was still under examination.<
