I'm Miles. I've been here for about a week. We're doing fine with the new development. My wrist is healing well. So far, the committee hasn't been trying to kill us. All is well. Speed Sr. has been planning a way to stop them. Sometimes, I'd try to help. Mostly, though, I'd sooner let him handle it. I've had enough of the committee. As I was contemplating the recent events, Spritle walked into my room. "How are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm fine," I answered.
Spritle paused. "Speed said that you might be able to start driving again even sooner than the doctor thought," he told me.
"Kinda hard to drive without a car," I pointed out.
"Don't worry. Connor's building you a new car even as we speak," Spritle continued.
"Okay!" I grinned. Spritle left the room. It was then that I realized how late it was getting. I curled up on my bed and fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I answered it. "Hello?" I mumbled into the receiver.
"Hello, Miles the traitor! There's a surprise waiting for you! Beware!" I cringed as the shadowy woman's voice dissipated. The line went dead. I got out of bed, got dressed, and went looking for Speed Sr.
I found him in the garage. He looked at me. "Miles, you're pale!" He said.
"The shadow woman gave me a call!" I explained.
Speed Sr.'s eyes widened. "She did? Well, what did she say?" He asked.
"She called me a traitor and told me that there's a surprise waiting for me. She told me to beware," I told him.
"Hm. Spritle, I want you to take him and his sister to your house and keep them safe," Speed Sr. decided, turning to his brother.
"Alright," Spritle agreed. He brought us to his truck. We got in. Spritle turned the key and we sped off down the road.
When we got to the house, Spritle led us to a couple of rooms. "These are your rooms. I figured that you could use your own space, Miles," he winked. I gave a slight nod and walked in. I placed my bag on the bed and unzipped it. Inside, there was a note that I don't remember putting there. I opened it.
Inside, it read: Miles, we're watching you! Beware!
I left my room at that point. I walked over to Spritle and showed him the note. "They knew that we were leaving," I told him.
Spritle gasped. "You must stay inside the house! That's the only way for you to be safe!" I nodded and went back to my room, hoping that all will be well.
