Chapter 1: Here They Come
"Hey Dad, can I borrow twenty bucks?" Megan Collins asked. Her father's eyes never left the computer screen as his fingers hurridly flew across the keyboard.
"Hello! Did you hear me?" She asked. The balding middle-aged man gave his only daughter no response.
"Hello! Earth to Dad! Come in!" She tried again, this time waving her hand in front of his face. Megan's father waved her hand away and simply said, "Meg, please. I need to finishe these incase they come,"
"Incase who comes?" She inquired. She peered in closer to see what her father was up to, but it only appeared to her that he was backing up some infomation on a couple of disks.
"No one. Just forget I said anything. I don't want you involved,"
"Ok. But I need twenty bucks," Before Mr. Collins could answer, there was a knock at the front door downstairs followed by a woman's scream. Megan rushed to try to see what all the commotion was about, but her father grabbed her arm.
"No Megan! They'll kill you if they see you,"
"Who's they? What's going on?" She asked, frightened by the serious expression on her father's face.
"There's no time. Here take these," He instructed as he handed the disks he had been working on to her.
"What are these for?" She asked. Mr. Collins said nothing as he shoved her into the closet. His last words to her were, "Stay there and keep quiet. Don't move, don't talk. Don't make a sound. And whatever you do, you must not let anyone get their hands on those disks. Seek out a Mr. Larry Dethgo at the DA's office,"
Megan nodded her head as her father shut the door. A second later she heard what sounded like a lot of men coming up the stairs. She heard a couple of thuds, which to her sounded as if they beating up her father. Cowering, Megan tried to remain as silent and still as possible as she listened to what these men wanted with her father.
"Our Master knows you are planning to betray him," One of the men said.
"Tell him, he's mistaken," Her father replied. A loud slap was soon followed.
"You think the Shredder is a fool?" Another asked. Who the heck is this Shredder guy? And why did he send these insane guys to attack her family? Megan thought as she first heard the name, Shredder.
"No, of course not. I simply do not know how he could think that I would betray him,"
"Unfortunately for you, our Master doesn't believe you. Rex, search the computer," The first voice instructed. What seemed like an eternity later, the second voice, which Megan assumed to belong to Rex, said, "There's nothing on here, but it seems as if a few disks were made. Perhaps he put the infomation on there,"
"Now, Mr. Collins. Where are they so-called disks of yours?"
"I don't know what you are talking about," A couple more thuds were heard and then the first voice spoke again, "I won't ask again. I'll have you know that our Master instructed us not to take you alive," Megan could feel her eyes watering up. They were going to kill him, weren't they? And all for these silly disks? She couldn't understand what was so important about them, but if her father were willing to scarfice himself to keep them safe, shouldn't she do what she could to fullfill his last instruction to her?
"Then go ahead and kill me. I'll never let you monsters have them," Her father angrily spat out. Silence followed a terrible scream. Megan tensed up, sensing that her father was now among the deceasead. She remembered hearing her mother scream earlier. She hadn't heard a word from her since. Did this mean that she was dead also? What was she going to do? How was she going to get out of here alive? The men had barely made a noise since her father screamed. What were they up to?
She didn't have to wonder for long. For she soon saw a shadow come near the closet from the tiny little crack between the door and the floor. Knowing she was done for if they opened the door and saw her, Megan moved as silently as she could. She could easily hide against the wall away from the door, providing they didn't actually step into the closet. She held her breath as one of the men kicked open the door.
"Nothing! She's not here," The man said upon finding the closet empty or so he thought.
"Isn't she supposed to be over at that new club tonight?" Yet another voice inquired.
"Yes, I do believe so. Ninja let's go!" The first voice instructed. Megan waited a couple minutes after hearing the men leave. Were they really gone? I can't stay here long. She thought. They're after me. Probably want to kill me as well. I have to get out of here now! She stood up from her hiding spot and walked out into the room. She gasped upon seeing her father lying in a pool of blood, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. Kneeling beside him she told him good-bye and ran down the stairs. Taking a few moments to search for her mother on the off chance that she was still alive, Megan finally found her in the kitchen. Her mother was also in large pool of blood, only she was face down. Saying a quick good-bye to her as well, she ran out the back door and onto the streets.
