Chpt.12
Apollo and I were on top of a building taking a rest. The sudden thought of the figure came back to my mind.
Was I just seeing things? I suddenly got the same feeling of being watched again. Why do I get sudden feelings of being watched? Am I correct, or am I just being paranoid? I glanced across the street and I saw two figures gazing through binoculars, looking at us! I'm not going crazy! "Apollo, act like I'm having a regular conversation with you. We're being watched." I said. His face stayed the same but his eyes widened.
"Bye who?" he questioned.
"Not sure." I sighed. "They're on the roof across the street. I have a feeling they've been following us."
"Then lets drive off and see if they follow, if they do, we confront them." Apollo shrugged. I nodded my head. We climbed down from the building and made our way to the motorcycles. Apollo was right. (For once.) Whoever they were, they followed us. We turned into an alleyway quickly, hopped off our bikes, and hid in the shadows. One of our followers turned to the other and asked,
"Where'd they go?" It was a girl's voice. They were dressed all in black, and their faces were hidden in the shadow of the hoods attached to a dark cloak.
"It's… it's a trap!" exclaimed the taller figure.
"You got that right!" I said, coming out of the shadows ambushing the taller figure. I ducked and dodged each punch and kick, and the figure did the same. They were good fighters, and Apollo was getting beat bad by the shorter girl.
"We don't want to fight!" exclaimed my follower.
"Than what do you want?" I questioned, as we both lowered our fists. Just than I glanced over to Apollo as the shorter figure nocked him out.
"Midnight!" exclaimed the taller figure in disapproval.
"Sorry." sighed the one who I figured was Midnight.
"Who are you?" I questioned.
"My name is Shadow, and this is Midnight."
"And what do you want with me and Jhonny?" I questioned.
"We noticed you two been trying to find more information about the Bolero Family and we think we can help." explained Shadow.
"How do you know about the Bolero Family, and how come you didn't just ask us in the first place?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"We hoped to help you secretly without revealing ourselves. That's why I nocked you out before I saved you on the roof of the brick building." answered Shadow.
"And we've been keeping tabs on the Bolero Family for years." Added Midnight. Shadow glared at Midnight like she just gave away a huge secret. Midnight quickly said, "I mean ugh.. We have our resources when finding info on the Bolero Family."
"Nice save." I said sarcastically. Midnight seemed very familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on what was so familiar about her.
"Ugh…" Apollo groaned.
"There should be a meeting held by the Bolero Family at the nightclub on forty-third street tomorrow." said Shadow. "You won't be alone. Midnight and I will also be there," she added. I nodded my head and they disappeared into the night.
"Ugh… what happened?" Apollo said while rubbing his head.
"Explain to you on the way home." I said. We then hopped onto our motorcycles and drove off.
