The following day, me and my dad went to the eye to see if there's any small undercover mission we're supposed to do or a show we're supposed to perform. We use masks while performing, so nobody knows our real identity.
On the main floor, which is the lobby, the ex-cop, Rhodes (or whoever he is) was there with a new guy whom I haven't seen before. He looks about a year older than me, has kind of long spiky hair, grey eyes and a mischievous grin that you can't miss. He's attractive, now that, you can't deny.
"Hey Rhodes! So whose the new guy here?" My dad asked. "He's Matt Jones, we recruited him as we saw potential in his street magic." "Matt, this is Jack Wilder, you may know him as one of the Four Horsemen." Matt flinched a little bit when he heard Wilder, he tried to hide it, but nobody can hide it when they're with me, I can see through beyond that. He shook his hand with dad. "And this is Jey Wilder, his daughter and a magician rookie." I noticed him flinch again before he took out his hand for me to shake.
Is it just me or did he flinch after he heard the words 'Wilder' and 'daughter'. I'm an expert in reading emotions, that was definitely a flinch, I know he flinched.
Haz appeared out of nowhere and I swear hearts were forming in her eyes when she saw Matt, they both introduced with each other. I felt a twinge of jealousy but hid it. "So any performance we're supposed to rock?" I asked Rhodes. "Jack, Jey, both of you follow me to my office, there's something that you both would take interest in. Haz, show Matt around, make him feel accustomed to The Eye.
As we headed towards Rhodes' office, Danz appeared from a random room. "I heard you got called into the principal's office again, nice going Jey!" "Shut up you ego-full smart-as-err- butt commentator!" (Mental note to self: don't swear when dad's around)
"Jey! Watch your mouth!" I heard dad shout. "Come on you guys, this is beyond important." Rhodes ushered us. "You'll face my wrath later Danz..." I pointed to him before rushing towards Rhodes' room.
I ran in before locking the door, cause I knew if it was something important, Rhodes would want the door locked. "Thank you Jey," Rhodes said while I took a seat beside my father.
"So what's so important that you want us to see?" I asked Rhodes. "You may find this umm... Interesting." He took out some photos and placed them on the table, "This was taken yesterday. Do you believe in ghosts?"
My dad leaned over and his face turned pale, I decided to check the picture and I couldn't believe what I saw.
The picture was a photo of my mom.

Danz POV
I screwed up again big time. Everytime I got close, she will definitely get angry, what'd I do wrong?
Time to seek help from Merritt.
I went out in search of Merritt and found him lazily sitting on a couch. "Merritt!" He looked over, "If it isn't Atlas Jr. What'd you need?"
"I need you to help me. Can you read Jey's mind and find out what she thinks about me?" "Looks like Atlas Jr. has a crush on that feisty girl," he chuckled.
"Well, let's see here. Weirdo. Full of ego. Average-looking. Smart-ass commentator." He sighed, "Rotten luck you have with Jey."
Atlas barged in the room and asked, "What'd I miss?" "Well you see here, your son has a crush on that feisty girl, but apparently she has no interest in him." "That isn't so bad," Atlas said trying to cheer up his son. "She called him a weirdo, full of ego, average-looking and a smart-ass commentator."
"Ouch." Atlas said. "Well, if you really want to go for it, here are some tips."
Done with chapter 3!
See you next chapter!
