"Can you please just ask him?" Pleaded Debbie

"No. He clearly doesn't want anyone asking questions." Theresa said

"He may not want anyone but maybe he'll answer if you question it ."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well for starters you've been friends for a long time, not as long as Howard but enough to trust you and don't you want to talk to your crush?"

"First I do not have a crush on him, but I don't know; we may have been friends for a while and I don't like that's he's keeping secrets but I can't just ask him"

"Yes you can."

"No I can't."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No. Do you even know how hard it is to ask your crush that?" Theresa went wide eyed after saying the last words hoping she didn't hear her

"You just admit you have a crush on him." Debbie teased "Just ask him."

"Why can't you ask Howard? He might know what's going on."

"He's annoying and I bet he's going to change the topic or just try to get away."

"You don't know that, he might just slip up some info without thinking."

"Fine but, if that doesn't work you got to ask Cunningham. Deal?"

"Fine deal." With that she shook on it and Debbie went to as Howard

-Line Brake-

"So Howard what's with the scars on Randy?" Debbie asked.

"Who?" Howard decided to play dumb on her.

"Randy, you know your best friend."

"Purple hair, tall, wears a red T-shirt with a jacket?"

"Yeah him."

"Nope, never heard of him." Debbie knew that Howard was playing dumb and decided he's not going to anymore.

"Howard! I know you're playing dumb! Just answer the question."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do. You know everything about Randy, so why does he have those scars and what's with the tattoo?"

"Why don't you just ask him?" with that said Howard just got away before she could react. When she turned around and found him not where she left him

"What, Howard!" she called frustrated.Then made her way to Theresa giving up on Howard.

"So how'd it go?" Theresa questioned hoping she got the answer's she wanted so she won't talk to Randy.

"Like I said he's annoying; at first he pretended not to know who Randy is then he got away when I didn't notice." Theresa giggled at Debbie's statement.

"Well what now?" Theresa hoped Debbie forgot about the end of the deal.

"Don't think I forgot." Dang it Theresa thought. "You got to go and talk to Randy now."

"Do I have too?" Theresa whined.

"Yes you do, now go." Debbie pushed Theresa towards Randy luckily Howard wasn't there.

-Line Brake-

"Hey Randy." Theresa said

"Sup Fowler." Randy said

"So can I ask you something?" Randy hoped she doesn't ask about the scars or tattoo.

"Uh… yeah sure."

"Why do you have a lot of scars?" Randy winced at the question

"Um… Because. Wait why do you want to know?"

"Because I'm your friend and I want to know why you have them." It wasn't a complete lie it's a twisted truth Theresa kept telling herself.

"Sorry Theresa, I can't tell you." Theresa was sad that he didn't trust her enough to tell her.

"Why can't you tell me? Don't you trust me enough?" Randy noticed Theresa sad face and felt bad.

"it's not that I don't trust you, I do trust you. I just can't tell you."

"Why? Why can't you tell me?"

"Because I'm not allowed to and I don't want to."

"What do you mean you're not allowed to?"

"Sorry Theresa, but things are better unsaid." Randy walked away leaving an even more curios Theresa. Debbie saw the whole thing but couldn't hear all of it. After he was a good distant Debbie went to Theresa.

"So what did you get?" Debbie asked hopefully

"All he said he can't and couldn't tell me, but I don't know why he can't." Theresa sighed at the end sad that he didn't trust her.

"Hey Theresa, come on it isn't so bad."

"That's not it. I'm sad that he doesn't trust me enough to tell me."

"Hey sup Cunningham. What's with the whole thing with Fowler?"

"She asked me questions about my scars….and I couldn't tell her."

"You too? Debbie asked me but I kept avoiding it."

"So what do we do now. You know Debbie never gives up and I think I got Theresa to think I didn't trust her enough."

"I don't know about the whole thing with Theresa, but we just got to avoid Debbie till we're out of here."

"Ok let's just take a brake."

"Ugh finally, I was getting tired."

"Guys! Let's take a brake."

-Line Brake-

"Howard they keep staring at me." Howard looks around and finds everyone even Julian and Jacques is staring

"Huh true. Do you think it's because I don't know, your walking with a gash like it's nothing?" Howard said sarcastically.

"Then what do I do? Help me."

"Well you can't just start pretending it's hurts, people will notice."

"Uh good point, so what do I do?"

"I don't know. Ignore them?" we both just sighed hoping they will stop staring and no one questions it but I spoke to soon.

"Oh Randall how did you gain those scars?" Julian said with a giggle.

"Please stop asking me." I pleaded

"Why won't you tell us?" Debbie said which earned a glare from me and Howard

"Because if he doesn't want to tell you guys it's his choice." Howard said I owe him a pudding cup

"So you do know why he has those and probably the tattoo to." Debbie said

"Why can't you guys just drop it!" I said angrly

"Because you got scars and a lot of them, no one just drops some information like this!" Theresa says back. That was the last straw I couldn't take it anymore.

"Guys that's enough!" I stood up ignoring all the stares and kept walking into the cave only to be followed by Howard. What I didn't notice that they followed Howard

"Hey Cunningham, what was that about?"

"Well let' see they kept questioning me about the scars after I told them not to."

"You can't blame them, if I didn't know I would ask."

"There's a difference between them and you. You are my best bro so I got to tell you."

"Don't forget that you'll be nothing without me."

"Yeah, yeah." I chuckled. We both turn around to head back to the group only to find that they've been following us before they hid.

"You can come out guys." I say. They all come out with looks that say how'd you know we were here

"How'd you know we're here?" Debbie asked.

"Saw you, heard you." I replied simple

-Line Brake-

At McFist's

"Viceroy!"

"Right here sir."

"Oh sorry. Well when are you going to send the next Robot?!"

"I don't know, when you want me to."

"Well send it now!"

"Ok sir no need to shout." Viceroy mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" With that said Viceroy released the next robot into the tunnels and they watched the feed as it moved in the tunnel.

5 Min Later

"Why isn't the ninja, well going ninja?!"

"Maybe cause there is a lot of people who could see him. But that French guy Jacques and the purple haired kid Randy I think are doing great in distracting it and avoiding the hits."

"Still wouldn't the hero like put the lives of others before himself?"

"Yeah that should be what he's doing bu-" just then they heard a sound of alarms and looked at the tablet and saw the screen is black with the words "Robot Destroyed" Flashing red.

"What happened?!"

"Looks like while we were distracted someone destroyed the robot."

"This is all your fault Viceroy!"

"What?! How is It my fault?"

"You distracted me."

"Ugh why do I even work for you." Viceroy mumbled under his breath.

"Jacques your parkour skills are so Bruce!" Howard shouted

"Oh mon frère thank you."

"You too Randy how you jumped over that hole to make the robot fall in, so Bruce!" Howard said

"Th-Thank you." Randy fake smile trying to hide the new gash he has on his back. But he can't trick your best bro.

"Hey bro, you ok?"

"Wh-what are you talking about? Of course I'm fine." Randy gave a small chuckle but winced at the pain. Howard noticed so he came to him then turned him around only to see a not so pleasant surprise.

"No you're not ok. Your bleeding Again!" Now everyone noticed Randy bleeding.

"Fine. The Robot thing kind of got me when I leaped over the hole…" Randy mumbled. Theresa got out her first aid kit to help him again but this time he was not going to let her do it; cause he knew what that lead to last time."

"Hey can Howard do it?" Randy asked

"What why me?"

"Come on, you always do it. Whats the difference this time?" Randy asked forgetting than there are others listening

"The difference is these are deeper cuts than usually, I may have sew some cuts before but it's better if someone who actually has more experience or trained better." After a while of arguing Randy finnaly agreed to let Theresa do it.

"Ugh fine." He turns around only to noticed that they are all staring at him wide eyed and jaws dropped.

"Um… Sorry for asking but what do you mean 'You always do it'?" Jacques asked in his thick French accent.

"You mean this is not the first time you had to sew close a wound?!" Theresa asked worryingly. Randy and Howard just laughed nervously and Randy rubbed the back of his neck. No point of saying no they heard the conversation.

"Um..yes…" Randy said extremely nervous. They were all about to ask questions but Howard came to the rescue…kinda.

"Ok before you guys interrogate him how about closing the wound first?" they all stare back at the gash on his back.

"Fine you know the drill." Theresa said

"Can nobody look this time?" Randy asked; So they won't see the scars on his back, they might saw the front but not going to see the back.

"Why? So we won't see any scars on your back?" Debbie joked thinking he won't have any, but only earning a nervous chuckle from him

"You have more scars on your back don't you?" Theresa said

"What no." Theresa kept staring at him skeptical

"Maybe… Fine Yes!" he hung his head sadly. He took of his shirt. He had a lot of scars but the one that got their attention was the one that was from his right shoulder blade till the bottom.

One First aid to the ninja later

"Ok done. You better stop getting wounded cause I don't want to keep bandaging you." Theresa said

"Yeah, yeah I'll try but no promises." Randy got up and brushed the dirt off of him and put on his shirt

"I think we should rest for the night, its getting late anyways." Debbie offered

"Yeah ok." Randy said

They all lied down Randy on the undamaged side Theresa near Randy, Julian near his sister Theresa, Jacques next to Julian, Howard next to Jacques and Debbie next to Howard.

Yeah finally finished with the chapter. Firstly this story wouldn't be here if I haven't been inspired from the story 'Finding a way out' by Elcall. Secondly my other story 'A chain of events' probably will be updated tomorrow but no promises. Other than that hoped you enjoyed this chapter and Thank you for reading and/or reviewing.
