Jack couldn't believe his eyes. He knew he had heard that voice on the phone before. He just couldn't pinpoint exactly where from. Now he knew that it was from his teacher. She was the girl on the phone at the time he had called the number. The person who redirected him to the ace of spades.
Quickly, Jack left his hiding space and crept into the office grabbing all the papers in his sight. He just managed to leave the room before the alarm sounded. A voice in the speaker said, "Two boys are missing from the psychiatric doctor's office. If you see them you must report to the master immediately."
"RUN!"
They sprinted down the hallway before coming across a door reading 'the extraction room'. The pair rushed inside and were extremely relieved and happy that they had finally found Lola and Lily. Rushing over to them, they realised that both of the girl's eyes were fully white.
*The masked figure= bold underline. Tommy=bold. Jack= normal.*
"It's too late now. I've nearly taken all their power."
"You. Stop this right now."
"And if I don't? Again, please. You're just a stupid kid."
"And if you don't I'll beat you up. I may not know everything but I know what you are."
"Oh, I'm so scared. Come at me."
"Tommy don't do it. You'll be just as bad as him if you hurt him."
"What do you mean? I have to do it."
"Trust me, there are better ways of handling this."
"Ace of spades whoever you are. Stop your machine and no harm will come to you."
"Oh OK then. I'll stop my plan of world domination just because some teenager asked me to politely. Of course not idiots. Come at me."
"Alright then."
"Tommy don't."
"Why can't I. It's the only way."
"It's not. He isn't a real human. He feeds on negative energy. If you fight him then he gains power."
"Now let me say it to you one last time. Hand them over."
"Why should I? In just 20 minutes the operation will have finished and I'll be one step closer to ruling the world."
With that, he pulled out a gun and aimed it a both of them.
*The following is no longer Jack*
"Put your hands in the air. You're under arrest for violation of law 18 U.S.C. § 1201. That's kidnapping four children so four 20 years. Basically, until you die." said a voice from behind the ace of spades. It was the police.
Then there was the sound of multiple gunshots. There, on the floor, were two dead policemen. Behind them, holding a pistol, was the teacher!
