Chapter 26: Why did you panic again?
kaoru's p.o.v.
''I could ask my father's friends tomorrow...'' I said before I got interrupted by Ann, who had stopped and looked behind me. She then pointed behind me and I turned around to see what was going on.
The Gangreen gang has come back, accompanied by the three I didn't want to see. A little frustrated I gave a hard kick against to ball, who then flew out of my sight. Ann crossed her arms while she gave a big huff from frustration before she reluctantly ran after her ball.
I almost thanked god for Ann's fast return and went in for the attack again, only to find myself on the ground a couple of seconds later. With my body on the ground, I turned around and reluctantly looked up, only to find Butch standing next to me.
''What now? I'm off the hook remember'' I growled while I stood up, only to get an evil glare back from him. Something was off. I could see in his eyes that something had changed this afternoon, but what?
''I saw the schools surveillance tapes and you two better start talking before I'm going to kill you.'' I swallowed but refused to step back. He might have seen de tapes, he still doesn't know I'm Buttercup. If he knew I probably wouldn't be standing here alive.
Ann stepped forward to answer him but Butch held up his hand, stopping her from saying something. '' Kaoru..'''I could hear his voice was more serious and cold than before, but what kind of excuse can I make?
Wait...I know were all the cameras are...maybe I can use this for my lie...thank god he's not Brick.
''I don't know what happened. Ann called me because you were trying to kill her sister and as I tried to calm you, one of the bars of the goal came down on your head. We then panicked and thought if we would inform Brick that he would skin us alive, so we took you to a place were your brother wasn't going to find us.''
I saw Butch look to the side and suddenly Brick appeared out of nowhere . F*** if he was looking at me he might have found out that I lied about everything. Brick seemed to think but he didn't look angry, only more curious. A silence grew around us as all of us waited for Brick to say something.
''Why did you panic again?''
Omg no... he saw I lied..what now...'' We all heard rumors...'' Brick then stopped me and stepped closer to me. I wasn't scared but this wasn't going well. Brick had an impressive black aura that was intimidating even for me. ''and now the truth Kaoru''
I swallowed and said the first thing that came to my head. ''I was worried because I thought he was death okay,'' I said softly while I looked at Butch. Brick seemed to buy it and took a step back, towards his brother.
pppppfffff, that was a close call!
Butch's P.O.V.
I realized that I had been lucky but still something wasn't adding up. I do remember walking of the soccer field...How the hell did they gave me another memory? I looked at Brick for more answers but he seemed to leave it for now. ''Alright you two can go'' Brick said as he made a hand movement towards them. The girls didn't need to think about it twice and quickly grabbed their school bag and left the park.
I wasn't satisfied with what just had happened and wondered why Brick had let them go. ''Why did you let them go...their obviously hiding things from us.'' Brick then turned to me and smiled mischievously back at me, like he already knew enough answers.
''I notice someone using mental powers on the surveillance tapes before and she had also entered the basement when you were there. Blast isn't a danger to us but I already filed a report for her arrest. Kaoru and Ann are definitely another problem, so I already planned a house visit for the Carter sisters tonight and I believe we have a party to attend at Kaoru's tomorrow.''
That did get me satisfied and we were about to go home when our mobile phones began to ring. All three of us knew that unexpected phone calls are never good and Brick quickly took the call. Apparently someone was trying to break into our system again and it we finally had a location. As fast as we could fly we flew towards our destination that seemed to be the school.
We landed before the building, kicked the door in and both ran after Brick, who knew where we had to be. A few seconds later we arrived at Library but there was no one to be found and with only one computer it was quit easy for Brick to stop the virus or however you call that...
''Smart...whoever was going into our system knew what our countermeasures were...They used a timeclock so they could get away before we came'' I heard Brick mumble while I looked around. The library wasn't a place I have been so much and it was a lot bigger then I thought.
''She even disguised herself'' I heard Brick say while I was on the other side of the library and I presumed that he had just watched the surveillance tapes. It was weird that we only had dead ends and it made me wonder what was going on behind our backs. But then again Brick was probably already thinking about that.
Annika's P.O.V
Lesley and I had a lot of things to prepare as we had made a few preparations for tomorrow. I know we promised Momoko to stay out of trouble but this dictatorship has lasted long enough and needs to stop.
The book I had purposely passed around was still in the Rowdyruff castle and luckily for us, that meant we were able to use it to scan everything in a hundert meter radius. Believe me, I had thought Brick was smarter than this but he never found out the book's cover was realy a little piece of technologie which we could use for scanning and echoing.
Kaoru might not believe her brother is still alive but Lesley and I have found his location inside the RowdyRuffs Z Castle. The only thing we needed now was a picture or something in order for Kaoru and the PPGZ to believe us and help us break him out.
