Chapter 4: Lucas
I was polishing my glasses when they brought him in.
I must admit, it was an odd experience.
Jared and Michael had found him when making their rounds on campus. Apparently, the door trap had gotten him, depositing him directly 3 floors below our headquarters, where I was at the time.
When they brought him up to us, that's when I realized how bad his state was.
His jacket was completely torn to ribbons. Judging by that, I'd say that he'd died multiple times today. He was also sound asleep, which meant he had just died again recently.
They laid him on the couch and stared at him for a bit.
"So what do we do with him?" Jared asked after a while.
"Maybe we can get him to join us!" Michael said excitedly.
"Don't get your hopes up," Alexis waved her hand. "I think I scared this guy pretty badly."
"So this is the guy from before?" Ryan asked.
Alexis nodded. "Don't freak him out. He's already been shaken pretty badly."
So this is the one who refused Alexis. It's no wonder Kyle was staring daggers at him from across the room.
"Death stares are not effective if the target is unconscious," I whispered to Kyle, happy to share a bit of friendly advice.
Kyle face turned an interesting shade of red before muttering, "Who asked you?"
Well, then. I was only trying to be neighborly.
"I'm leaving..." Kyle grumbled as he stormed out of the room.
We all stared at the unconscious adolescent for a minute or two in silence.
"Now, then," Alexis said after a few minutes, breaking the long silence. "Back to business."
She then put her feet up on the Principal's desk. "We need to think of a new name."
