Alec quickly knocked on the door, it was soon answered by a certain grey sauropod. Alec's eyes soon widened seeing her face. "Who are you?" She asked looking at him with her eyes squinting slightly, to her he seemed familiar.
"Um is your dad here?" He said disguising his voice
"Oh uh yeah, just a moment" she said then turning to the insides of the house "dad there's a man at the door for you!" She yelled soon walking in as an older brown sauropod came to the door. He had a longer neck than his daughter and what he could see was stubble under his chin. The man looked down to see Alec staring back up at him.
"Who are you?" He questioned in his gruff voice, from what Alec could tell he smoked...a lot.
"We talked over the phone?" He answered again in a deep voice to make sure he would think he's older than he really is.
"Oh, yeah. Um well lets go check it out." He answered squinting his eyes more as he was suspicious of his intention on this visit. They walked down the dirt path, stopping at the door of the small cabin. He then lifted the door mat to a hidden key that he quickly used to get inside. When they got in The sauropod flicked on a light switch and Alec was amazed. The inside was decorated neatly with a simple leather couch with a coffee table in front of it, a shelf in front of that held a small tv, there was also a shag rug carpet under the couch to keep it from scratching the hard wood floor. The rest of its inner design was extremely similar to the Wattersons house except for instead of stairs there was a bathroom door. The door that would be at the bottom of the stairs was most likely the bedroom. Over all it was a nice place, it was bigger than his old apartment that's for sure."what do you think?" He said smiling
"I think I'll take it!" He said almost forgetting to disguise his voice
"Great! Now let's get down to how much it will cost a month." He said to which Alec unzipped his backpack and pulled out 5k he didn't want to have the man complain if he left in a month, because it would be an inconvenience that he needed to avoid. When Alec pulled out the money the sauropod smiled more.
"I think this will cover the first couple months?" He half asked handing him the 5k.
"Yes it will! You can pay the next rent when you want." He replied taking the money. Alec knew that if he did have to pay rent it would be over ten months from now. "Enjoy your stay. But I'll say this once, don't come near my daughter." He said crossing his arms
"Understood, but if I may ask what's your name?" Alec replied
"Phillip Camberlin, you?" Phil said holding out his hand
"...Al, nice to meet you" he replied shaking his hand afterwards he nodded to Alec and walked out the door. Alec tried to come up with a good name to tell him but faltered as he had almost told him his real name, but Phil didn't seem to notice as he smiled and left closing the door behind him, Alec decided to look around the place a bit. Alec walked in the bedroom first to see a nicely made single bed and one dresser with a knight stand sitting next to the bed. He changed his mind as he saw how comfortable the bed was, he knew he couldn't sleep yet but that didn't stop him from relaxing then getting to work. So with a smile he immediately got settled in...
Molly
The day was tiresome and boring as nothing had happened at school that day. The Wattersons weren't there that day, which made everything even more bland. She hasn't seen Alec in over a week, they had never hung out before but that was only because she was too shy to ask. She had heard that he was dating Jamie but she refused to believe it. When that man had left with her dad she wondered what they were doing outside but decided it was best to not concern herself with her dads business. But there was something about that mans eyes that seemed familiar...
Watterson household
Nicole had let her kids stay home this day and this day only. They needed the break, she tried to keep the thought of Alec far away from mind as it would only bring up pain. She was currently sitting on the couch watching mind numbing tv which was rare for her as she was one of the more active members of the family. Richard on the other hand had started cleaning and working around the house as tv only reminded him of the good times he had shared with Alec. Gumball and Darwin changed the most as they had essentially turned goth becoming a practical shell of their former cheery selves. So far the scripts were flipped, no one was the same...except for Anais.
Anais was the only one who had stayed the same as she continued to go through her daily routine with a smile tugging at the edges of her mouth. Everyone thought she was in denial. But she knew the truth. Everyone was currently in the living room and she, was tempted to tell them right there and now. Whether it was Richard who was frantically cleaning or Gumball, Darwin, and Nicole who were watching tv with half lidded eyes everyone was there. She was almost about to give in and tell them, she wanted everything the way it was... 'whats the harm?' At this she thought back to Alec and how she promised she would be quiet. But Anais was too stubborn to be deterred, she proceeded to walk in front of the tv earning the attention of the family as they all looked at her."I have an announcement-" but before she could continue twenty men burst through the door in swat like uniforms.
They rushed the family who was still recoiling in shock. The men immediately cuffed their wrists behind their backs. "What's going on!" Nicole yelled and they all stopped in their tracks at her booming voice. "The Wattersons I presume?" Said a voice behind the wall of men. They immediately got out of the way to reveal, Tess. Nicole growled in a cat-like way at the sight of him. "Happy to see me are we?" He said chuckling afterwards.
"What are are you doing here?" She said through gritted teeth
"Oh you should know. You harboring Alec and all." He said putting his hands behind his back and smiling.
"Can you just leave us alone. Our families already gone through enough!" Gumball yelled speaking up
"Not until I see Alec in a body bag." He said now frowning. The Wattersons were utterly confused at what he had meant but it was soon clear once a soldier came down the stairs.
"Sir. There's no evidence of his appearance in the home." The soldier said saluting Tess.
"Damn were too late." Tess responded scratching his chin
"What are you talking about Alec's dead we saw his body!" Nicole spoke out again as she was constantly struggling against the tight hand-cuffs.
"Oh, yes, he is, or is he? You need to open your eyes Nicole, he's a trained soldier. Born to kill.." He said smiling at their stupidity "boys, you know what to do. Oh and Nicole, we will be keeping you and your family under close surveillance" Immediately they all left as fast as they arrived. They first un-cuffed the family making sure to keep their guns at attention in case the Wattersons did anything. When they all left the Wattersons were there left to wonder.
"I need to tell you all something.." Anais spoke out, and everyone then immediately turned toward her."Alec's alive" she said smiling sheepishly. Everyone then glared at her.
"Tells us.." Nicole said
"Tell you what?"
"Everything.." Richard said out of the group at this Anais sighed and began her short tale...
Notes~
I would like to thank NeoNimbus for the inspiration of these chapters, the idea itself I got when he reviewed a while ago when he thought molly and Alec would be paired. Also I would like to say sorry for how late I posted this, my Internet wouldn't let me load my account...Read & review, until next time!
