"Liar. You won't be able to. Sooner or later they'll find out what's really happening. They'll find out that you are just some idiot trying to control minds. They have seen it all before; people believe that they can rule the world and take over people's minds. It's the stuff of movies. You know that you will fail soon."

"That was in the movies. Welcome to real life; the good doesn't win and the bad has already taken over. How many times do I have to tell you I'm not out of some fairytale. By the time they have figured it out, their chance will be long gone."

"It's never too late. Like it or not your reign will end. They always do. You get a glimpse of power and then the power begins to control you. The power is using you. It rules you and you definitely don't rule it. It's not too late. You can still stop all of this. Let the little bit of sense left in you tell it to you. Your rule will end."

"By what? Girl power. Face it. You're a pathetic little loser. Do you really think you can beat me? You're the least of my troubles. I'm busy with things you would call 'adult stuff'. Now, if I've made myself clear enough for you,  I'm going to have to leave. "

With that, he hung up. What if he was right? What if Jack was a loser. No, he wasn't, and pathetic losers gave up on their friends. Even if he died trying, Jack would never, ever give up on his friends. They needed his help so he would help them. That, Jack knew for certain. Maybe Jack could try and phone the number again? No, they wouldn't pick up. He would have to wait and see what came up the next day.

"Sweetie pie will you come downstairs? I have just had a call from your school. We need to talk."  Jack's mum bellowed upstairs!

This was bad. Very bad. Could it be what Jack thought it could be? But how? Jack had said he had ended all of that and hadn't mentioned it in class since. What if they had caught him on CCTV? If so, Jack was in for the trouble of his life and he had got a lot ( and I mean a lot ) of explaining to do  . . .
