NO PRE-SCHOOLERS WERE HURT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS STORY


"Making News"

As I stood on the treehouse porch, I made sure there was no tears on my face. I looked at my hands—they felt like they were on fire, and I was being burned.

"Just don't make it look obvious." I said to myself as I opened the door.

When I walked in, I hoped nobody was in the Kids Next Door den room…but boy was I wrong.

Numbuh one, two, three, and five was on the couch sitting and watching the news channel with deep affection.

I glanced at the TV to see what was the big deal.

"For all of you just tuning in, we are downtown trying to find out the meaning of this pre-school fire."

The news reporter stepped out of the way so we could see the school.

My jaw dropped. The pre-school was nothing but ashes!

Numbuh three and Numbuh five had tears in their eyes. "Who would try to kill those poor innocent kids?"

I felt like puking.

The news reporter continued to speak.

"We have found out the estimated amount of deaths…there are 8 kids dead and 2 in critical condition."

I didn't want to hear anymore so I ran out of there and into my bedroom.

I puked on my bedroom floor. Almost choking from crying.

What the hell was I thinking?

More guilt laid on my heart…I KILLED innocent children for some damn money! How the hell was I suppose to act? I'm in kids next door I'm suppose to save children not hurt or kill them.

I wanted to die…I wanted to go far away from here…I wanted it all to be a dream…I didn't want none of this to be real.

So I feel asleep.

(Dream Mode)

"Get away from me!" I screamed as I tried to runaway from Jeno.

He was carrying a match and he was trying to throw it at me…because I chose to stop doing his 'work.'

I tripped over my own feet. "Jeno, don't do it! Please don't!" I screamed as I tried to shield myself.

Jeno threw the match at my body and laughed, "Just think of it as a friendly discount…"

(End of Dream)

I jumped up and noticed I had fell asleep on the floor.

I got up from the floor and brushed myself. "Great a nightmare to rub this whole day in my face."

When I finally stood up and felt awake I rushed to my bathroom to take a shower.

As I took my clothes off I tried to stack them neatly in a pile so it would be easy for me to wash them later.

When I was done stacking, I started the water and jumped in the shower.

I scrubbed behind my ears, I washed my hair, my body, and other stuff guys have.

I looked at my hands…they looked like they were on fire! I started to throw water on my hands but it wasn't coming off!

Was I going crazy?

Finally I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision…my hands were okay. I just wasn't.

I grabbed my towel and tried to dry myself and to my surprise a note fell out.

"Another note? What else could he possibly want me to do?"

Before my curiosity got the best of me I decided to put the note aside and dress first. I walked to my dresser and grabbed the usual, underwear the boxer kind, some faded blue pants, a white tee, and the famous orange hoodie.

I walked back in the bathroom and grabbed the notes and picture out of my last orange hoodie and stuffed them underneath my pillow case.

It was then I paid attention to the note. Should I read it or stop doing this before I get hurt and hurt or even kill more innocent people…

The note read:

My Dear Client Wallabee, The task was hard, yes? Well, you couldn't expect baby missions for that amount of pocket change. I'm just writing to inform you about your next task. You see I have this 'problem' with this guy, name's Terrance…he owes me a large sum of money and doesn't plan on helping me out…so I decided you can give him a surprise…if you know what I mean. Don't worry though he deserves to die. He had it coming, you don't want death knocking at your door do you? Cuz trust me that can be arranged, I mean, you don't want to be like Terrance people like Terrance are likely to be killed. I mean money is everything…and $50g don't come free. Remember that.

Sealed to the pack of the note was $10,000 dollars and a card, I snatched both off.

The card had an address. I guess it was this Terrance guy.

I grabbed the money and smiled. I quickly stuffed it underneath my pillowcase and sat at the edge of my bed. Everything is happening too fast.

I wanted to quit so badly. Money wasn't worth hurting or killing innocent people…nothing was. Not even $50,000 dollars.

The only thing that was stopping me was Jeno. He would kill me if I didn't help him, it would all turn out to be like my dream—nightmare.

Valentine's day was only a week away…Kuki needed that necklace…she deserved it.

But I felt like she didn't deserve a criminal, a killer, or anything I was becoming.

She deserved better.

Confession

Numbuh one shook his head and began to question me…again.

"Why didn't you stop? You had a chance before it got serious, you could have told one of us…why did you ignore those chances?"

I sighed. "It wasn't that easy. I would've risked my safety and the kids next door."

"Oh, and the other life of kids? Did you forget that?" He started to yell with anger. But I didn't care…if he was in my place he would of done the same thing, I know it.

His anger died down but he was still holding a grudge on the inside.

"So what happened to this 'Terrance'?"

End of Confession

Knock. Knock.

I looked up at my door. Someone was there.

Quickly I hid the note under my pillowcase and shut my bathroom door. After I was sure everything was well hidden I yelled, "Come in."

The door flung open and Numbuh three was standing there.

I smiled so I wouldn't look suspicious.

"Did you hear what happened?" Numbuh three walked closer to my bed.

I nodded. "The school?" Although I was the one who started the fire I played it off.

She held back tears. "Why would someone do such a thing?"

I stared at the floor. The guilt was getting to me.

"I just came to check on you…you acted like you were sick or something…"

The puke. I forgot about the puke!

"I'm okay, really. I was sick earlier from, uh, the food I ate…it was frozen pizza."

She grinned. "I'm glad you're okay. I just haven't seen you around much. It seems like you've changed."

Changed? Kuki knew me too well, she knew how I felt, she knew I was hiding something…I just couldn't tell her what.

"Why don't you come to dinner? We're having Mud soup…me and Abby made it. I'm sure you'd like it." She smiled and talked with a pleasant tone. I guess I could hang with the group for tonight. Jeno could wait.

"I'll be sure to go." I said. Maybe I could get my mind of Jeno and the necklace, and have fun.

Numbuh three smiled as she stood up, "Great. I'll see you at dinner then." She made her way to the door.

I stayed at my bedside. Dinner with the group, it made me feel like I never knew Jeno…and Jeno never knew me.


Another chapter complete. Sorry for the amount of violence. I hope you all enjoyed and if you did please leave me a review. I would greatly appreciate it. Remember nice flamies are always welcome and mean flamies if needed. The next chapter will be very interesting. Remember this is a work of fiction no one really got hurt. I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you at Chapter five.
