9. Return of the… Friend?

Joe POV

I spun around. Mad Jack was standing right behind me. "It's a good thing your friends and family left and walked into the trap." I looked at Brandy and Kairi. Trap? So that's why they easily let them go. I looked back at Mad Jack. "You see, beyond that door there is a sort of alternate universe I created. Your friends and family will be taking a very long walk home. Now, if you do anything I don't approve of, I can make that walk home very… difficult." He chuckled evilly. He only wanted me and now he got it. "Now, give me The Book."

I glared at him. "No."

"Fine. This is another good reason your friends and family left. I don't think they'd want to witness this." He raised his cane and it started to glow. "Goodbye Joseph. For good."

Mad Jack slumped down, dead. Brandy stood behind him, an evil grin on her face.

"Brands? What are you doing?" Kairi was shaking. That couldn't be good.

Brandy glared at her. "Doing what should have been done." She took off her sunglasses. Her eyes were bright blue with a bright green ring around the iris. I gasped. The only girl I knew who had eyes like that was…

"Sy- Sydney?"

She looked at me and smiled. It wasn't a nice smile though. It seemed so… evil. "Hello Joe."
