Prologue: The Secrets We Keep

It is late at night as a marine is waiting in a parking garage for someone. The marine is also a reporter for a local news paper, and he is doing an exposé about a secret at a local high school that's about to come out from the wood work.

The marine looks at his watch as he is getting concerned that a teenage student is supposed to be meeting him has not shown up yet. Just as the marine is walking towards his car, a dark colored van shows up and parks close to the marine's car.

A man gets out from the dark colored van. The man has an all black attire with jet black hair and blue green eyes. He opens up the back of the van and grabs a teenage girl who is tied up and injured.

The marine frowns as he knows the teenage girl. "What have you done to her you twisted fiend? Let her go, now". The marine asks the man. The teenage girl is upset and terrified. She has blond hair and expressive green eyes. She is sporting a black eye and bruises on her body.

The man looks at the marine. "I want to keep the secret of South Street High School alive for years to come. All you have to do is to drop the exposé. As for the little geek informant, she still still useful to lure out a bigger fish to fry". The man said to the marine as he pulls out a gun and points it at the marine.

The marine realizes that the man gotten to her before she could meet with him. "People will be shocked to learn that a high school around here has a secret lounge where students hangs out, skip on classes, and doing things they really shouldn't. There will be a lot of questions that the principle will have to answer. Plus parents will be furious that a teacher/ head coach on the football team is condoning this on campus". The marine said to the man.

The man who is the head coach of the football team. "You sound like a geek I once knew that ruined the secret lounge years ago". The man said to the marine as he shots him five times. The marine falls to the ground as he is dead.

The man puts the teenage girl back in the van. He went towards the marine as he puts three messages in the marine's pocket. The man drives away in the van. Little did the man know that one of the messages is from the teenage girl.
