Shut up (Young Adam Reed x reader)

3. What the fuck!

Adam and i sat on his bed. He was playing a VR game and i was just on my phone. I was petting Hawking when the power went out.
"Adam." I nudged him as he took off his headset. He looked around confused as i got up off the bed with Hawking. All if a sudden the golden retriever jumped off the bed and went barking out the door.
Adam and i exchanged a look of confusion and slowly got up and left the bed. "Hawking?" Adam asked as he nervously looked out the door. i heard the floorboards creek.

Adam hit his torch against his hand to turn it on. "Why don't you just use your phone torch?" I asked him as i pulled out my phone and turned on the flash. "I don't wanna use up all the battery in my phone incase something goes wrong." He explained as we began to walk up to the barking dog.
"What is it Hawking?" I questioned the dog softly. "You see something?" Adam adds while he bends town to the dogs height. Hawking whines and runs towards the tree. "Hawking, Stop!" Adam yells out. "Hawking!" I yell for the dog. He disappeared into the trees. Adam breathed heavily.
"We better go get him, Come one." He grabs my hand and drags me away. I sigh. "Grab the bat, you know in case someone's out there." I suggest as i drop his hand. We walk through the trees cautiously.
"Hawking!" "Hawking!" We both tell out for the dog. Our voices echo in the woods. As we walk through the bushes i hear rustling in the trees.
"Adam, maybe we should  i don't know, Turn back." I suggest anxiously. "We'll be fine." He reassured me.
We walked deeper through the trees.

"What is that?" I point to sparks in the air.  Adam turns himself around while looking up. "I don't know."
We both look up and in sync we let out a " Whoa!"
We turn to each other fast. Adams face in disbelief. "Jinx, you owe me a coke." I say. " Is this really the right time to say that loser."
"I'm not the loser here, your the one that owes me a coke." I reply.
Adam chuckles slightly.
Suddenly Hawking barks loudly and comes out of the bushes startling Adam and i. The dog whimpers as we go up to it.
"Oh my God. You scared the crap out of us." Adam let's out. He hands his bat to me and leans down to the dog to pet him. all of a sudden i hear rustling again. "Adam do you hear that?" I ask him scared out of my mind. "Yeah" He hesitated to respond with a shaky voice.
"Who's that?" Adam asks loudly.
He turns back to me. "I don't think we should be out here."
"Yeah, let's go." I respond the the boy. He has a scared and startled look on his face. I hug him slightly. He smiles softly.

Adam, Hawking and I all ran back to the house, the dog barking on our way. The wind whistled as we ran.
Adam began to wheeze when we stopped running. "Are you alright Adam?" I ask the boy with concern. "Take out your inhaler." I tell him.
Adam grabs his inhaler and takes a puff. He exhaled and brings me into a hug. "We're okay." He reassured himself under his breath. I pull apart from Adam when i heard clattering coming from the shed. "Oh shut." I exclaimed quietly. Hawking barks yet again. "Shut up Hawking." I tell the dog. Hawking runs towards the shed. "Hawking!" Adam lectures the golden retriever. We hesitate for a moment. "Come on." I grab hold of his wrist and slowly walk towards the shed with Adam trailing behind me. The shed creaks and Adam breathes heavily. "We'll be fine Adam." I give him a half smile. He smiles back weakly. I open the door and go closer to Adam. "I'm fucking terrified." I whisper. "Same." Adam laughed quietly. He shined the torch around the dark old room. I jump as it flashes over a man. He turns it back to the strange man. "Take it easy." He covers his eyes from the light, blood on his hands and stomach. Adam screams and falls back dramatically. "What the fuck?" I yell.
"Or, you know, fall down and yell." He groans. I help Adam up and he turns on the light. "Jeez. Who the hell are you ?" Adam questions the strange man. "Put the bat down." The man says to me. "It's for protection dumb ass!" I snap at the man. I hold it up.
"Put the bat down. I'm not gonna hurt you, i promise." I slowly bring the bat down as Adam and i exchange a look.
"What are you doing here?"
"Mostly bleeding."
"Well yeah duh, we have eyes!"
The man sighs. "Wait, How old are you guys?" He asks us. "what?" Adam asks confused.
"How old are you two?" He asks louder. "Twelve." We both plainly say.
"Twelve." The man repeated under his breath, whispering. "Shit!"
"He's probably a pedophile i whisper to Adam. "How did you get in my Dads garage?" The young boy interrogates. "I...It was open. "The older man lies. "No it wasn't." I chime in. "And that is a flight suit."
"Are you a pilot?" We both question the man.
"Yeah, Yeah, listen to me. Uh—Don't—Hey, don't call anyone. Put the phone down, i won't hurt you." The man attempted to reassure us as Adam pulled out his phone. "Said every pedophile on earth." I replied sharply. "You said that already?" Adam said to the man. "Well, it bears—God damn it!" He trailed off as he touched his wound. I made a disgusted face as the wound squelched. The man winced.  "Uh, it bears repeating."
"That's a lot of blood." Adam realised.
"Well...well, I have so much more in my body. Where's your mother?"
"On a date."
"With who?"
"What?"
"With who? What's his name?" He repeated again.
"I don't know?" Adam says.
"I think it was Derek." I add on.
"Derek?" The strange man thinks for a second.
"Derek. Derek, Derek, Derek. that's, yes, the guy with the um...with the mouth mullet." He says as if he's met the man.
"The goatee?" I ask him. "Yeah." The man corrected himself.
"So say goatee." Adam jumped in.
"Yeah, he doesn't matter."
"None of them matter." Adam softly said. I put me arm around his shoulders comfortingly. There's a moment of silence as the stranger pets Hawking as if hes met him.
Adam turns and hugs me tightly. I stroke his hair softly. "Nice dog." The man says. "I'm gonna go inside the house."The man stands up. "I'm gonna get some stuff. Hey, careful with that." Adam parts and nods at me. I swing the bat at the man he just catches it before it hits him. "Stay here" He throws the bat away.
