Chapter – 17

The few who were not selected where on the other side as they huddled together, fear evident on their faces

A sort of fear spread threw me as I looked on, my mind concocting worst scene after another

Looking intently at the scene before my eyes caught movement on the side

Quickly turning I saw the man who held us, was now held johnny the same way he did to me, he lowered johnny a bit carrying him like a bag

Glancing around I found ed on the floor by eddy's feet looking at the few who were not selected

Kevin just stared as he thought what to do with these...extras

Right when an idea popped in his head his phone rang

He pulled the said device from his back pocket sparing it a glance as he answered

"Hello" his voice was thick not in a bad way but thick in a sexy way as it also held an order 'kneel'

A sport of whisper was heard as the person on the other end spoke, the call lasted for few seconds then ended

When Kevin snapped his fingers one of the many lackey came running towards him with some equipment safely tugged under his arm

Kevin glanced towards said things and nodded

The lackey ran towards the middle where ed and eddy had their battle

Quickly setting it up he moved back, on the floor was a suite case and protruding from it was a button of sorts, the lackey stood next to his boss he waited

When Kevin nodded again the lackey pressed the button and moved further away for few seconds nothing happened but the suite case popped opened and many monitors came out of it hovering in the air

There were so many monitors I wondered how they even fit in such a small case

Before I could think further the screen lit up showing faces all across the monitors

This confused me, but all that was cleared as screams erupted throughout

"Mom, dad" screamed Johnny as tears streamed down his face

I turned to see Johnny struggling in the man hold

My eyes found one of the screams that had a couple who looked to be in their 40's crying I recognized them they were johnny's parents

My eyes even found ed's family crying telling their son to come back home, realization dawned onto me; we get to see our family for the last time

My eyes desperately searched for my parents going from one screen to another trying to find them

As I passed every parent who was crying I was starting to lose hope but I still held onto it

After searching every panel I could not find my parents, tears slid down my cheeks as thoughts of 'maybe they missed my parents' occupied my mind

'Maybe I missed it' I thought trying to reassure myself

Right when I was about to search again a panel caught my eye this panel was placed at the back the screen was blank with my name on it

I was shocked my mind numb

'Did...did they not care' these thoughts circled my head as I just stared at the blank screen

I looked around to see everyone were wailing wanting to go home and I'm here helpless

I heard Johnny crying turning to see his eyes red his nose running and one of his hand reaching out, turning to see his parents doing the same, wanting to reach their son, to bring him back home

It all stopped when a voice broke it all

"Shut up"

Kevin was getting annoyed he did not want to hear all these people crying about useless things

"All right get this over with" grunted Kevin

The moment those words left his mouth all his lackey who were holding one person drew their guns pointing them towards the ones who were not picked

The screams of no filled the space as parents begged not to kill them but all that fell on deaf ears

Shots were fired from every direction as cries and screams echoed

Not a single person was left when they were done

Bodies lay on the floor cold not moving as holes covered every inch of their bodies, blood splattered spraying the once clean floor with red

Tears trekked down as not a single word was said from the students and even parents, too shocked
