Zach

"Yeah, definitely, we will be right there", James closed his mobile and shoved it into his pocket. "Come on little bro, we got to do an errand". Pulling his car keys out Zach unlocked the car and jumped into the drivers seat, immediately starting the ignition. James slid into the passenger's side, "To Sandy's, and make it fast we only got twenty". Zach reversed and then took off down the road.

He leaned against the car as he watched James talking to a man wearing baggy jeans, jumper and beanie. James slid his hand into his jacket and seemed to pull out nothing, as did the other man with his pocket. They quickly shook hands and then the other man walked away. Just as he disappeared around the corner, a group of guys approached James. From where he was Zach couldn't make out what they were talking about but he could tell it was heated. He got off the car and checked if any cars were coming and then he heard a noise, an unmistakable noise. Growing up in a city, which had more criminals than straight citizens, taught you a few things. One of them was being able to identify a gunshot. Zach's head snapped towards the sound just as his brother fell to the ground, grasping his chest. Zach sprinted across the road and pulled his brother into his arms. It wasn't like the movies, there were no last words, he was just gone, dead. Zach looked up to see one of the men running around the corner. He took off after him. Turning the corner he saw that the man was slowing down as he turned into a car park. Zach quickly reached the car park and saw the man at a door. He had dropped his key and was picking it up. Zach closed in on him and raised his arm bringing it back down upon his neck. The man fell to the ground, but quickly rolled on his side and stood up. Zach grabbed one of the man's arms as he tried to get his gun and in the split second he made contact with the man he felt all the anger leave him. Something had changed inside of him, but that wasn't the only change. Zach watched in horror as the man's flesh began to crack, and felt it becoming both rock solid and ice-cold. Suddenly he shattered into a million pieces, all of them sliding across the ground. Zach stood there, his hand still outstretched.

Holly

Holly turned on her feet and quickly exited the room, closing the door as quietly as she could. She heard someone faintly sweeping up the clay, and then Kara opened the door and walked out, with Corey right behind her. By then the corridor had become empty.

"Oh, sorry I forgot you were out here, we were just- Corey and me had to help clean up the art room, the year sevens made a complete mess of the place". Holly was about to correct Kara but thought better of it and just smiled.

"I'm Holly", she said to Corey as Kara began leading them towards the science labs.

"And I'm off", he said, "Nice meetin' you Holly".

They reached their classroom, and with the door being walked straight in.

"Lets take the frog for example- it's so nice for you two to fine join us, you must be Holly, I'm Mr Banfield. Glad to see you've met Kara. Now if you'll take your seats". The man at the front of the classroom motioned towards the seat and then continued scribbling words on the board.

Just think about it later, ask her- even better him. Ok I'll ask them- The sound of the bell brought her back to the present and she shoved her books into her bag. As she joined the throng of students heading towards the ovals she met up with Kara.

"How was double English?" She asked.

"Not bad", she replied.

"So where'd you say you were from?"

"I didn't, though my family and I travel around a lot-", A boy emerged from behind Kara and quickly embraced her, passionately kissing her. Holly hid her surprise, and looked at the new comer. He had jet-black hair and a light tan. As soon as he pulled away, "Hey Kay", he noticed Holly and added, "I'm Joel, I just gotta go grab some food from the cafeteria, you want something Kay?" Kara shook her head, and Jake walked off.

"Don't ever call me Kay, alright?" She said as soon as he was out of earshot.

"Aren't you with Corey?" Holly inquired. Kara looked disgusted at the idea and acted as though she was vomiting.

"No way! He's like a brother to me- You thought we were together because we helped cleaning up the art room?". They began walking towards one of the groups that were sitting on the grass.

"Hey Kara!" squealed a girl as she beckoned them towards her.

"Come on Holl", Kara said as she took Holly's hand.

"Alright Kay".

Kara smiled, "Alright, I won't call you Holl if you don't call me Kay".

"Deal".

The girl turned out to be Casey, on top of that there were Holly, Kara, Corey, Joel and another guy named Stan. They all sat on the grass and once the introductions were done the talk turned to ordinary things, but Holly couldn't help but wonder how Corey could have done what he had. Maybe he has a superpower; a radioactive spider could have bitten him…or maybe he's an alien... It might've been fake, they could just be pulling my leg, they all-

"Earth to Holly!" Holly jumped up, since Kara had shouted it into her ear. This made everyone laugh, and she noticed the kids around her were walking off.

"The bell went, didn't you hear?"

Holly shook her head and smiled, "Off in my own world".

Tony

Tony sat in the limousine, ignoring the two glasses and bottle of wine that had been laid out for him. He just sat their holding the black cell phone in one of his hands, and staring at the wristwatch on the other. As soon as it hit 1:30, he hit speed dial and the phone on the other end was picked up immediately.

"It's done, specimen A7 is on its way to you right now. As am I-" Tony was interrupted by the other man.

"Good, we have another one for you, your instructions are in the envelope next to you. Good day." The dial tone started and Tony opened the envelope and pulled out the two slips of paper. He was going after a heater. Oh joy. The limousine pulled up and the door opened. Tony shoved the aeroplane ticket into his pocket and climbed out. Discarding both the instructions and cell phone in the nearest bin.
