It had been two days since the Teacher had called and so far he had not made any more contact. Reid constantly had his phone in his hand and was checking to make sure he didn't miss a call. Tyler had yet to get to that extreme, but his phone was also always charged and always in his pocket. Both sons of Ipswich sat at a table in the coffee house sipping their coffee.
"I haven't seen you around lately, Reid." Jason said as he came upon the two boys.
"I don't need this right now." Reid muttered. He rubbed his hands over his face and sighed.
"Aw, is the little freshman having a bad day?" Jason laughed.
"Not day, but days." Reid said.
"Where's that little girlfriend of yours?" Jason asked, looking around the room.
"Not here." Caleb said, joining the group. "Have you heard anything?"
"No, nothing." Tyler said. Jason looked between the three with a confused look.
"I'm sorry to cut this short, but we're leaving." Reid said. He finished his coffee and threw it away. He didn't wait for Tyler or Caleb as he turned around and left.
"You guys should get to class. It will keep your mind alert and awake to things happening around you." Caleb said.
"He's right, we should." Tyler agreed. Reid nodded and walked off to one of his classes.
oOoOoOo
"Lucy, are you really going to eat that?" Dena asked. They had been given another bowl of oatmeal. Dena picked up the spoon, which was harder than she thought. The room they were in contained two beds. There was a door which led to a bathroom, but that was it. No windows were in either room and the other doors were locked.
"It's been three days, I have to eat something." Lucy said. She sniffed the spoon and cringed. She eyed the contents of the spoon and stuck it in her mouth. Lucy's eyes were closed tightly and swallowed. "Ok, that was pretty bad."
"No kidding." Dena sighed.
"What are you going to eat?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know. I'll shove something down my throat eventually. For some reason I keep thinking the next thing he gives us will be better."
"You know that won't happen." The Teacher said. He stood in the shadows of the small room.
"Can you just get this over with?" Dena growled. "And why do you need Lucy here? Let her go!"
"You've grown too soft, D."
"Doug!" Dena gasped as the Teacher walked out of the shadows.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Lucy asked.
"Doug was one of my foster brothers when I was younger. In fact he was part of the first family who adopted me." Dena explained. "I'm sorry, but I was expecting someone… I don't know… older?"
"Ya, well I was trained by one of the leaders of the organization. My parents were also part of the organization. I've been training since I was born so I was more than ready to take on a pupil."
"Still…" Dena started.
"I don't want to hear it, D. Now, I want you to call your boyfriend." Doug held out a silver cell phone. Dena, didn't ask any questions, she just took the phone and punched in Reid's question.
"Hello?" Reid asked eagerly.
"Reid!"
"Dena! Where are you? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. The Teacher's someone from my past… I mean, of course they are. He's one of my foster brothers! His name is Do-" Doug grabbed the phone from Dena's hand.
"My name is Doug Forester. Don't even think about trying to find out where I am. The organization I'm a part of and Dena was a part of has houses all around this nation."
"Fine, I won't. Now, what do you want?"
"I've already told you. I want you to meet me back in Ipswich. We'll meet at those bluffs next to the light house. I believe there are some memories around there."
"When?" Reid asked.
"Saturday at midnight. So that gives you roughly three days."
"I'll be there."
"Bring your brothers along as well. Now, I'll make sure Lucy and Dena make it to the bluffs. You just need to make it there to see them." Doug didn't wait for Reid's response. He just closed the phone and smiled at the girls. "I expect you to start eating, D. I wouldn't want to lay a sac of flesh and bones next to your soon to be dead witch." Dena growled and tried to lunge at Doug, but he laughed as he jumped through the door and then locked it again.
"We're in trouble." Lucy muttered.
"I'll think of something." Dena said. "Let's just hope the guys have something too."
