Inner Core (Book 2) (Completed)

Chapter 11 *The Falling of Cloak and the Rising of Kage*

(It's been weeks since Cloak has been defeated, and Reo is still getting the praise. The news was on and Taku, Selene and Dai were watching it. The News Lady was talking about exactly what happened.)

News Lady: "It's been weeks since Cloak has been put in maxim secretary prison for the many crimes he has committed. He's murder twenty-three people from what we know. We still do not know the reasons why he did this, but we only have our thoughts."

(Reo walked into the room and looked at the tv.)

Reo: "Ugh, you're watching this garbage."

Selene: "Garbage? It's talking about how you stopped Cloak.

Reo: No, the first week they talked about how I stopped Cloak. Now they just talk about Cloak. It was fun at first when i was in it, but after my paycheck came in it just got annoying."

Dai: "Well I think it's educational. They even have a professor that guest stars."

Selene: "Oh yeah the professor isn't on it anymore."

Dai: 'What why? I really liked him."

Reo: "You would, nerd."

Dai: "Shut up."

Selene: "The news lady said she wouldn't work with him after the whole thing where the professor didn't answer her question, and she gets what she wants."

Dai: "Wow, I guess you're right. Well who replaced him."

(After Dai said that, a man walked onto the screen. He was really thin and was wearing a long sleeved white shirt with jeans. He had on black tennis shoes which matched his messing black hair. He had dark brown eyes and was very pale.)

News lady: "Here to talk to us about Cloak, is Kai Shuyona. He is the principal of the best core training high school in our beloved city."

Kai: "Mmhmm."

News lady: "Yeah, so tell us what do you think about the whole Cloak situation?"

Kai: "Well I think a lot of things, but no one wants to listen to all of my theories. There is one that might be correct. There is a key factor in all of this that we seemed to look over. A man who has been forgotten throughout all the madness."

(Reo started to pay closer attention.)

Kai: "A man named Kage. He hacked the tv broadcasting and killed everyone in that building. There were no survivors, but we happened to look over that and focus on something the people actually knew about."

News lady: "I'm sorry, what are you saying?"

Kai: "I'm saying people are trying to forget a man that doesn't want to be forgotten. People launched onto Cloak because he was less scary than Kage, and how has no one even connected the two together. Cloak started to show after Kage hacked the broadcasting, and crime bumped up a whole new section too. The reason this is happening is because of a man with claw marks over his eyes and we want to push him into the back of our brains cuz it's too scary for our little heads."

News lady: "You didn't answer my qu-"

Kai: "You're question, right. How could I forget? I think the Cloak situation was a distraction from the real evil we should be worried about. The news is trying to hide this from the public, but it's out there now. There's no hiding the fact that a man that will kill an entire building filled with people just to get noticed is out there right now. So here's some advice if you want to survive."

(Everyone in the living room got real close to the tv to listen in. Even Sara walked in and got in the bunch.)

Kai: "Run. Hide. Stay away from anyone that can't be trusted. This is hell and we're living in it. So forget Cloak or any other minor crime that passes by. Think about the real picture."
