Cody POV
I looked up from my work in the field. Something was wrong. I held out my hand and water began to flow around it.
"Find Sokai," I muttered.
The water dispersed and headed off to find one of my teammates. I pulled a picture out of my pocket. It was back when Zack and I were on TV. Both of us were wearing black slacks, tuxedo shirts, and black vests. Tears started to form in my eyes. I shut them as tight as I could and bit my bottom lip. Sokai will take care of Zack.
"Hey Kai," Tyler called to me.
I hated this new name but what choice did I have. We all knew each others real names and stories but we never told anyone. For example, Tyler's dad abused him and then one night he killed eight-year-old Tyler. As the younger boy walked up to me, he gave me a worried look. He was cautious around me when ever I'm like this, everyone is.
"Hey Kai you okay," he asked.
"I'm fine John," I said.
"Sarah told me to tell you dinner is ready." he said.
"Thanks," I muttered.
Sarah acted like our older sister. She's eighteen and was killed in the 9/11 attack. She was sitting on the plane that crashed into the first tower. She is the only one who never told us her real name. Then there is Tyler and Jason. You already know about Tyler; his assumed identity is John. Jason is ten. When he was walking home from school a serial killer attacked him. He was held for a week during which time he was tortured endlessly until he was finally killed; his real name is Thomas. Then there is Carson and Conner. They are twins. They are Cantonese. When they were walking to the park some racist guys shot them to death; they real names are Seh (Carson) and Long (Conner). Finally there is Sokai, Chris, and me. Sokai is fifteen and was killed when he panicked after getting kidnapped; his real name is Kyle. Chris is thirteen and was killed by his older sister because she wanted to become a serial killer and Chris just happened to be there; his real name is Alex. My real name is Cody Martin and while I was at school we were taken hostage by two women and a man. They were going to shoot my twin brother, Zack but I jumped in the way and died. I miss my brother dearly but I can't go see him unless he is part of saving the world from the obstacles.
"Hey kid, you hungry?" Sarah asked as I walked in.
I nodded. She placed a bowl of chili in front of me along with a plate that held a hotdog plus bun and some Texas toast.
"Kai, it's Sokai. The obstacles have Zack and me. I think they think Zack is you. This may be a trap," Sokai's voice came out of a blob of water.
I felt something snap inside of me.
I own nothing. Sorry I wasn't able to update this 'til now. I was in Illinois because my grandma died.
