Secrets and Lies
Chapter One
Bryan walked down the stairs and into a garage that had grease stains, oil spills, and cars all over the place. "Well, looks who finally wakes up," said someone from behind her, "Morning Kathy, how long have we been open?" she asked as she put her hair in a ponytail. "A couple hours, don't worry Bob hasn't notice that you weren't here" she said as she went back to the office. She put on a hat and walked up to the list that was posted on the wall, "You've got Mr. Kane's car" said a another worker. "Hey John, have you ever seen this guy?" asked Bryan, "Now that you mention it no I haven't, I don't think any of us have seen him" He said and went back to work. She looked at the list to see what the car was in for, "Oil change, and repair a window" She read out loud. Bryan opened the hood of the car and started to work, "Bryan get in here" yelled a man from the office a couple minutes later as she was removing the cracked window. "Bob what can I do for you?" she asked, "How come you're not doing the car that was assigned to you?" he asked. "I am, I was assigned to Mr. Kane's car," she answered, "Who assigned you to that car?" he asked. "Who ever posts the list in the garage with the assignments than that is the person who assigned me to the car" Bryan said. "Ok, I'll have John finish the car" he started, "wait, I already started this car and I'm going to finish it" She said and went back to the car.
"Kathy, come in here for a minute" Bob said, "What is it?' she asked, "You can't be leaving her hints like that," he said. "It's about the assignments; look she is old enough to know who her father is" She protested. "Not yet, I'll call him to let him know when she is ready to meet him" he said. Kathy walked out of the office and went back to the front desk to take inventory, an hour later the bell rang for them to go to lunch. "John, its your turn to buy lunch" Bryan said as her and John walked out of he garage. "So, where do you want to eat?" he asked, "Subway sounds good," she said, "So what is the deal with you and Greg?" she asked John. "Can you please keep it down cause not many people know I'm gay" John whispered, "Oh sorry, so what is the deal?" she asked again. "We went out a couple times, and we have a date tonight" John answered, Bryan saw a look on his face "Oh no, don't even think it, I'm not doing it," she said as they walked into Subway. "I need someone I know there, and you are the only person who knows my secret" he said, "Where is your date going to be and when do I have to show up?" she asked as she gave in when he gave Bryan his sad face. "It's at a club called the Boot and you can show up around 10:00," he said, He paid for their sandwiches and walked out.
" So what are looking for?" said someone out loud, "Jesse, Brennan is on their way to meet you so you can find this new mutant" said someone but on one was there. "Ok thanks Adam" he said. He walked in the park where there was kids playing everywhere, and he knew a fight cannot be taken place here. "Hey man, what are you doing?" asked someone from the side of him. "Brennan, do you think we can fight here with all these little kids here?" he asked. "No, but something is not right" Brennan said as he look up the hill and saw a girl and a guy sitting under a tree. Finally the little kids disappeared and someone was standing before them, "You have to turn yourself in" said Brennan. "You super hero's always have to say what is right" the man said, "Tony, this isn't funny anymore, you can kill someone with your powers" Jesse said. "Really? Lets see and find out" he said and vanished, "Damn, where did he go?' Brennan asked having anger rise in his voice. "Well, there is no one in this park" Jesse said.
"Come on, we better get back to the garage before Bob blows a top" John said as he threw his trash away. "You go, I forgot my hat" she said and went back up the hill, "Did you loss something?" asked a guy. "Yeah, that is mine" she said holding out a hand, "Kiss me and I'll give it back" he said. "Ok close your eyes" she said and he did as he was told, Bryan made a fist and punched him in his face. She grabbed her hat and ran down the hill but the guy appeared right in front of her. "Oh my god, your like a pop up book from hell" She said as she moved in the other direction, "I just want to try something" he said and he made a fire lighting and shot it in her direction. Bryan had no feeling in her body, finally she got feeling in her legs the bolt of fire came closer and she jumped behind a tree. "Oh this should be a very fun fight" he said, Bryan had her Sais swords fall into her hands and got in a defenses stance. The attacker formed the same weapon and he swung it at her head and she blocked, kicked him the stomach he fell on his knees and she kicked him in the face. He got up and cut her on the arm and it started to bleed, he tripped her and she fell to the hard ground and hit her head on a rock and was unconscious.
"Brennan, I'm going to look at the park again maybe we missed something" said Jesse and turned back, "fine but your wasting your time" Brennan yelled and went in the other direction. "Tony" he whispered to himself and ran up the hill, he made his body red and hit him over the head and he was unconscious, Jesse walked up to the unconscious girl, Bryan had her eye opened just a little bit, she was into so much pain she orbed out of the park and back to her apartment. "Adam, can you have Shalimar, Brennan, and Emma meet me back at the house?' he asked. "Yeah sure" he said and Jesse headed toward his car and drove off.
John knocked on Bryan's door to her apartment, "Come in" she said in a weak voice, "I knew it, you got in a fight and now you orbed back here" he said getting upset. "How do you know me to well?" she asked, "We grew up together, and did anyone see you?" he asked getting serious. "I think so, it was a guy, he was very familiar," She said bringing herself up. "What time is it?" she asked, "about 9:00, and I have to meet Greg, don't forget to come at 10:00" he said and walked out. She walked to the bathroom took off her clothes and hopped in the shower.
"Jess, what's the deal, we should be looking for Tony" Brennan said raising his hands in angry, "I need to look someone up in the database" he said taking a seat at the computer. He put the power he saw, "Ok there is four girls with this power, I'll take Julie Moore, and Lily Jones, Brennan you take Bryan Gardner and Kellie Sims" He said handing him sheets of there pictures. "Jesse, all these girls have one thing in common, they all work at Bob's repair palace" Brennan said. "Ok, Shalimar, Emma you guys keep looking for Tony, and we'll look for these girls" he said and walked out before Emma and Shalimar could ask why.
Bryan walked down to the car repair place and went looking for Kathy, "There you are, where have you been" said Kathy from behind her. "Yeah sorry, I wasn't feeling good, and it just kept coming" she said making the sign of her puking. "Spare me the details, I think your looking for this," she said hand her the money for working on the car. "Thanks, I got to go, if you need me call me at the Boot or page me" she said and walked out. A couple minutes later Jesse and Brennan walked in, "Can I help you guys with something?" asked Kathy. "Aunt Kathy is that you?" Jesse asked, "How is my little Jesse?" she asked giving him a hug. "We are here looking for these girls" Brennan said handing her pictures of the girls, she looked them over. "Three out of the four girls are dead, only one of them is living and you just missed her" She said giving back the papers. "Which one is it?" Jesse asked, "Bryan, she went to the Boot, its on 84th street" She said, "Thanks, it was nice to see you again" Jesse said and they both walked out. "I didn't know that was your Aunt" Brennan said, "She isn't, when I was younger my mom and her were best friends and we lived next door" he answered and the saw the sign for the Boot.
Bryan entered the dance club and walked up to the bar and saw John and Greg dancing on the dance floor and having a good time. "What can I get you?" asked the bartender, "Hey Joe, can I work now, I'm very bored" Bryan asked. "Nice try, you have a week off, go have fun" Joe said, Bryan started to rub her head. "Here" Joe said and gave her an aspirin and water, "Are you going to the High school reunion?" he asked, "No, I want to stay as far away from that school as possible" She answered popped the aspirin in her mouth and drank some water. "Do you want to dance?" asked a guy, "No thanks I was just leaving" Bryan said taking her water and walked out. Bryan walked out of the club and heard a noise from the alley; "Is anyone there?" she asked and walked in. A hand went over her mouth and dragged her deeper into the alley.
"You look inside and I'll look around out here" Jesse said and started to look around and looked in the alley and made his way down there. Brennan walked in the club and walked around on the dance floor and made his way towards the bar and saw an old friend that he thought he never see again. "Look who finally shows up" said the bartender to Brennan, "Joe how have you been buddy?" he asked. "I've been better, oh no I can see Bryan left her coat again" he said taking the coat of the chair, "I'll go and give the jacket to her" said someone and took the jacket from Joe. "John, when you see her come back I have to talk to her" Joe said as John walked away.
John walked out of the club and saw Bryan standing there "Bry, you forgot this" he said holding out the jacket for her. "Listen to me, I'm down that alley and I need you," she said, "Why are you using your power of astro- projection in public?" he asked leading her down the ally way that her astro-body pointed out. "I would go help her myself but she hasn't taught me how to fight yet" Astro Bryan pointed out. "Well first lesson, if your facing a guy kick in the balls, and if your facing a girl most likely make fun of there hair" He said. John made a fireball with his hands for light, he and astro Bryan hid behind a pack of karts; one of the kidnappers hit her across the face, John threw his fireball and the kidnapper started to run to help his friend and left Bryan tied up. "Are you all right?" he asked taking out a pocketknife and cut the ropes that held her hands together. Astro Bryan went back into Bryan's body "I can never get use to that" she said. "Take my hand," she said, John handed her his hand and they orbed out of the alley and in front of the club. "John wants to see you" he said and walked back in and saw his date waiting for him and they continued their date. Bryan walked back up to the bar and saw that there were two guys talking to Joe, "You wanted to see me?" she informed Joe as she took a seat. "Brennan and Jessie are looking for you, they wanted to see if you were all right from this afternoon," he said looking confused. "We can talk for our self's" said the one they call Brennan, "From this afternoon" she said with a little quiver in her voice. They nodded, she got up and started to run, they followed her, but when she was half way through the door two girls, one with blonde hair and one with red hair caught her. Bryan made Astro Bryan come out and they were holding astro Bryan while the real Bryan orbed away. One of the girls made something come out of her head made Astro Bryan close her eyes. The four strangers left and went to the roof and got into a jet and flew away.
