Chapter 30: Jason
What happened was this- when Vulagur turned to his desk to scream up at some guards, JJ nodded to me, signaling to go through the door. I was a bit worried, and I nearly gave ourselves away by accidentally knocking on the chimes on the office door. Luckily, whenever Mr. Screamer is busy yelling, he's dead to the world around him.
So we sneaked out. But what will we do now? What about Noel and Holly? But before I can think anything else, JJ runs through the door...but she looks different. She looks…
" OH, STOP LOOKING! YES, I'M TALLER AND MY VOICE IS NOT LIKE A BRAIN DEAD ZOMBIE! NOW GO! He's looking for us!" But that's not what I'm looking at. Aunt Rosa is carrying something. No, two things. Noel and Holly.
" Y-y-you saved t-them." I gape at her.
"Yes, because they need to come with us!"
"You mean...you still care?"
"Yeah! Obviously!"
But I'm still stupidly staring at them, grinning my mouth off.
JJ noticed and raised her eyes at me."Seems like you have a serious liking-no, CRUSH- on one of these girls. Which one, may I ask?"
" None of your business." I mumble.
Okay, maybe I DO like one of them, Noel in particular. I mean, she's just so nice and sweet and intelligent...
" Hey. Let's go. He will be here soon." I start walking furiously.
" Whatever, we'll just talk while walking." Aunt Rosa replies.
She has to stop.
But before I can speak up, Her face turns whiter than mozzarella.
"He's coming! Quick, go into that utility closet!"
