Chapter 9- Revenge and the Strange Man, Again

Disclaimer: Own nothing but the things you don't already know…

Three days had passed and its Friday. Jay didn't get into a lot of trouble for sneaking out, because he told Jordan that he felt a release telling Alex his secret. Although he did have nightmares, his panic attacks weren't as intense. Jordan wasn't too happy about him telling Alex, but what's done is done and he hoped that it would make his stress go away.

Jay finally returned to school, and got his baby back-his car. He still didn't know about Alex's condition and didn't want to talk about it. He had other problems, like making up his school work-yeah right!

7:00a.m.

"Okay, so you ask me to meet you here an hour before school starts. What's the big deal?"

"Did you bring what I asked?" The girl said putting her hands on her hips

"Yeah." The girl reaches to the boys hand, but he pulls away.

"What do I get?" The boy smiles.

"Whatever you want." She whispers seductively into the boys ears.

"Here, I don't know what you're gonna do with my moms locker codes anyway." Peter said tossing her the notebook.

"Im gonna get my revenge." Amy smiled.

"So, Im glad you're coming back. Kwan's been on my ass about that poem." Alex said going through her closet.

"What poem?" Jay asks laying on her bed.

"You know the poem you were supposed to write and I read to the class." She said finding her chucks.

"Oh that poem. Its due today?"

"More like Monday, when you snuck out."

"Oh…yeah." He said dazed at the ceiling.

"Are you okay. You've been distant all week. Its bugging me." She said putting on her book bag.

"I don't know. It's nothing. C'mon, Lets go to that hell hole you call school." He smiled going to the car.

7:30a.m.

"Ugh, did you find anything yet." Peter asked looking at his watch.

"Don't rush me, this locker is junky." Amy said throwing papers.

"Well, my mom will be out of her office to open the doors in ten minutes."

"Hey," Amy said holding a paper.

"What is that. It looks like a birth certificate." Peter snatched it away from her.

"Who the hell is Aaron Louis?"

"Jay! Dude! Where you been? Everyone was worried about you." Sean and Towerz said happy to see their friend again.

"Around, school has been depressing me." Jay high five them.(or whatever it is boys do)

"That sounds like a kid who was in home school a little too long." Sean laughed.

"Yeah, well. Lets get to breakfast. Im starving." They walked into the school.

"Hi Amy, how can I help you?" Mrs. H looked up at her office door.

"Uhm, well. I was in the lost and found and I saw a jacket that I thought belonged to a friend. So when I went into the pocket to find who's it was. This fell out." She handed Mrs. H the birth certificate.

"I don't know anyone by the name of that in our school. So when I looked it up I found that it was some kid who went missing ten years ago and he was never found. I went on that hospitals data base too, and the name was removed."

"Wow, " Mrs. H exclaimed. (Who knew Amy could be so smart.) "So, who's jacket was it?"

"Jayson Hogart's."

The gang sat in breakfast as the late bell for 1st period rang.

"Damn, were late." Sean said throwing his food away. The were about to leave the cafeteria, but then Mrs. H came on the intercom. "Students and staff please stay where you are. This is a code red."

"What's a code red?" Jay asked Towerz.

"Lockdown." He answered his friend carelessly.

"Why?"

"Either someone has a weapon or someone is in the school that shouldn't be in here."

Oh no. Jay thought. Please don't be my dad, please. They sat in the cafeteria for what seemed like an hour. Jay saw two men in black and gold police uniforms walk into the cafeteria.

"Guys, what's going on? Is he here." Jay got up as they walked over to him.

"No, we have to get you out of here." They said grabbing him and taking him out of the school.

"Hey! Stop get out of him!." Alex yelled running after them. Sean and Towerz held her back as they stepped outside. The front of the school was swarming with police and news stations. Kids were outside running to their parents confused.

"Wait! Let go!" Jay yelled. "Where's my brother?"

"He was just over there on the steps." One of the officers explained.

Jay looked up and couldn't believe his eyes. There he was, walking away with his brother. A feeling of anger and shakiness ran over Jay as he ran after the guy and his brother and yelled, "Dad!"
