Chapter 39:
Sam's POV
He was gone. Again. Once again I had chased Ross away. I didn't even get his side of the story. I had to find him. He had probably walked all night. I should send Brianna to go look for him. So I went to look for her, but it was her who found me.
"Sam! Phone. Ross wants to talk." Brianna said as she appeared behind me.
"What. Why'd he ring you. I have...he has my phone" I said realising my phone was gone.
"Ya. Here. Take it." She said handing me the phone. I took it.
"Ross. You there." I aid into the phone.
"Ya. Look Sam. You have to listen to me. I am not working with Daniel. He stole my phone.."
"So you stole my phone?" I said, anger building up.
"Well, ya kinda. Just listen. He gave me a note before he ran away and I t said he had stole my was going to text you, but I really needed to see the text. So I took your phone. I was going to give it back, but you tried to kill me. Again." He explained quickly.
"Ahm, ok?" I said unsurely.
"Look Sam, I need your help. Meet me a half a mile outside of ton in the highway at half eleven tonight." He said. Then he hung up.
QUATER TO ELEVEN THAT NIGHT:
Ross's POV
I was watching Sam from a bush at the side of the highway. He was three quarters of an hour early. Why can't people come at the time they're supposed to come at. No earlier and no later. So I waited.
TWENTY-FIVE PAST ELEVEN:
"Hi Sam" I said bursting out of the bush.
"Where'd you come from!" He said nearly jumping into the air.
"From that bush. I've been on there for the last 45 minutes."
"You been watching me!"
"Not exactly, I was really watching out for Daniel or Drake."
"So you sat in a bush for 45 minutes?" He questioned.
"Shut up. Why did you come 45 minutes early and stand in plain sight. Where Drake could have nearly killed you, like in the nuclear plant" I said, anger building up.
"Where'd you find that out!"
"A source." I replied.
"What source." He demanded.
"A source, that I'm not telling you about." I said. After that Westwood in silence for the next half hour waiting for Daniel to show.
MIDNIGHT
Daniel's POV
I walked in the clearing cautiously. I was watching out for Sam. I knew he was here. Ross isn't stupid enough to come alone. Ross was standing in the middle of the clearing. Ready to fight.
"Daniel! What do you want?" He shouted over to me.
"Where's Sam?!" I said walking closer.
"Somewhere. What do you want?" He repeated.
"It's Barbara." I began. His hands readied. And he began to look around.
"No, she's not here. It's just me. I promise. There's something wrong with her." I said, now looking around. Making sure Barbara wasn't there.
"Get on with it." He snapped, eager to leave probably.
"That thing, the Gaiaphage, the green..."
"I know what the Gaiaphage is." He snapped.
"I don't know how to explain this, but it's like, like..in Barbara. It's making her act really weird. She has all the powers and stuff." I explained.
"It's in her!" Sam said bursting out of the bush. He seemed scared.
"I'm taking that as a bad thing." Ross said, obviously confused.
"I'll explain later. We need to go." Sam said walking over to Ross.
"Phone, Daniel." Ross demanded.
"Oh ya, here." I said throwing it at him. Then he and Sam began their walk back to town. Even more worried then I was when I arrived, I started after them. I couldn't go back there. Not to that thing that used be the girl I once loved.
