Grant's snoring is the only thing I heard as I sat up in my bed. Throwing my pillow at him, I walked to the bathroom. Right before I turned on the shower, I heard Grant scream, "What the hell, Zach?" I smirked to myself and took my shower.
I come out to see Jonas up and moving and Grant groggily trying to get his clothes gathered for his shower.
"See you guys at breakfast," I said. They nodded and kept doing what they're doing. Walking silently to the Dining Hall, I saw Joseph Solomon coming out of the sublevel elevators. He wasn't supposed to be here. He wasn't supposed to be anywhere.
He was supposed to be dead.
I hid behind the corner and watched him head in the direction of Dr. Steve's office. Silently, I followed. He was a few yards from the door when he turned around and said, "Zach." This made me stumble. I wasn't expecting him to catch me, but he was one of the best. Well. . . I guess he is the best now, but he shouldn't be.
He. Should. Be. Dead.
"Joseph," I said after I put my mask on.
"Oh, so you call me Joseph now," he taunted, taking two lazy steps towards me. "How are you?"
"'How are you?' my ass. What are you doing here? You died," I said emphasizing on 'you.'
"Obviously not." Joe smirked, taking another step.
"Is he still alive?"
Joe stayed silent. He just stared at me, no emotion. I tried again. "Is. He. Still. Alive?"
He started backing up. "I don't think I should say. It's a little," he paused and thought over his next words. Joe put his hand on the doorknob to the office. "Classified. Especially to Cassandra's son." With that, he was in the office.
I thought about eavesdropping, but my stomach decided against it. I walked through the Dining Hall. When I sat down, Jonas and Grant repeatedly asked me how I got there after them. Guess my talk with Solomon was longer than I thought.
I smirked to them and answered in a way only I would. "Classified."
I know its short, but I was aching to get this online! So here it is and I'm going to give you hints on the next chapter!
Questions that will be answered next chapter:
-Why was Mr. Solomon there?
-Who was Joe and Zach talking about?
-WHY SHOULD JOE BE DEAD?
If you want, you can guess on what you think the answers will be…
