The Next Morning
The next morning, everyone was acting really strange. They all didn't know what to say to me and didn't want to make me angry. It looked has though Jesse had told everyone what I was doing last night. Great know everyone is going to be walking on eggshells around me. This is my problem, not theirs. They don't need to worry about me. I can take care of myself. I have to get away from sanctuary so I can go online again without them breathing down my back. Could they just let me handle my business alone and without worrying if they would find out and yell at me? I'm 29 years old. I don't need a babysitter. We all did are normal routine and started to train. But there were no real conversations going on. Emma kept glancing over at me with a look of confusion. God, I have to get out of here. Finally, at about 4:00 p.m. I got out of Sanctuary to go to the library. I am now typing furiously at the keyboard trying to get into the file I had reached last night. But it wasn't there. My file was still there, but Jordan's had seemed to disappear. I looked everywhere, on new files or deleted ones, everywhere. But there was nothing. I stayed at the library looking for any related files and sites. But at about 8:00 p.m. Shalimar called me on my com link asking for me to come back to sanctuary. She didn't say anything else and left me getting off the computer and rushing there. This better be an emergency or I will be very ticked off. When I got there, everyone was gathered around the computer. They looked up when I entered and their expressions showed fear and disbelief, but also anger. Adam spoke first, "Brennan, there is a message for you. But before you see this, hear me out. Whatever is going on we will help you in anyway we can and there is one more thing-" But Adam never got to finish because Emma cut him off and was yelling at me. "How could you not tell us, Brennan. How could you not have told me? This isn't something your keep to yourself. Because of your arrogance this boy could be dead." That was when it started to click. They had gotten something from Jordan or the people who had him. When I heard this I immediately ran over to the screen to read the message. On the screen was an e-mail addressed to Adam, not me. The message simply stated 'We have the boy, Jordan Mulwray. He has become a nuisance to us and we wish to get rid of him. But the only way we will not kill him is if his older brother, Brennan Mulwray, is brought to us and takes his place. If you do not except within 3 days than we will kill the boy. If you except, meet us anytime before the third day at the warehouse on Brooklyn street. Come alone.' Has I finished reading this; I looked up to see what the others reaction was. They all had an angry look on their faces. I was in shock. This was all too much. First my dream and now a threat on my brothers life, who I thought was dead long ago. I slowly lowered myself to a nearby chair and sat down with a soft thud. "I thought he was dead. I. I haven't seen him in 7 years." This was all that would escape my mouth. The others expressions changed from angry to sympathetic, I could stand anger and hurt but not sympathy. So I quickly stood up and started to pace back and forth around the room. Jesse opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out, so instead he looked away. "Is this related to why you screamed last night?" Emma spoke up and looked me directly in the eye causing me to stop pacing. Jesse seemed to find his voice, so he added, "And why you were on the computer last night and wouldn't let me see what you were doing?" I glared at Jesse and made him look away again. "Why do you guys care in the first place? This is my problem and I can handle it!" I was getting angry myself know. Where did they ever get the idea that they could invade my personal life? Just because we worked together doesn't mean that I have to tell them everything. "Because we worry about you, Brennan. You always separate yourself from us and you never tell us what you're feeling. It's not normal. Just let us into your life once in a while." Shalimar was know speaking, she had kept silent most of the time. "Why don't you guys just leave me alone and give me my space. I told you this is my problem. I will handle it. So I am going to go know and find my brother! If I die, it's my problem. You can always find someone else to replace me who is willing to share every thought that goes through their head with you!" With this I walked out of the room and headed for the door. I had no idea what I was going to do, I just knew that I had to get out of there. As I was about to reach for the doorknob, I heard footsteps behind me. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, trying to turn me around. I don't know what got into me, but I charged up my power and turned around. Looking the person straight in the eye, which was Adam, I said, "Let Me Go, Know." And for the first time in my time here, I see fear in Adam's eyes. He was scared for me, or of me. He let go of my shoulder and without a second thought I turned around and walked out the door. I didn't look back once. I just had to get away from here and find my brother, before it was too late.
