The Lost Jackson

{Chapter 3}

Asher's POV:

Ever since I left the house people have been looking at me like they had seen a ghost. I am walking down the street trying not to pay attention to the people starring, people that usually smile and wave. I turned the corner to the twins' house only to see them in a heater argument. "What's going on you two? You know the rules. We don't fight each other, we fight everyone else." I say loudly to Logan and Landon making them turn around quickly looking shocked. The shock quickly wore off and they both tackled me to the ground while both talking, practically shouting, over each other at me.

"ENOUGH!" I yell out at the twins and push them off my body. We all stand up before I ask the question again, "Now once again, what is going on?" Logan started the explanation, "Our parents were watching the news this morning and the picture of a baby that disappeared fourteen years ago came up on the screen along with a picture of what they would look like today." Landon picked up where Logan left off, "Turns out the baby was the missing child of Michael Jackson and Princess Diana. His name was Atticus and he disappeared on Christmas morning, the day after he was born." "We think you are him!" both Logan and Landon finished together. I look back and forth between the twins before I busted out laughing. They look at me weird and ask why I am laughing but I couldn't stop.

After a moment my laughing died down and I wiped the tears from my eyes before responding, "You think I as the missing child of the King of Pop and People's Princess? That's insane! Plus think of it guys, kidnappers don't let the children they take to leave the house and go into the outside world. They also usually abuse and/or kill the kid they took and I have never been mistreated by my parents meaning I am not a kidnapped child. Now let's get going, we still have to get the triplets and get to school." The twins look at each other, having a silent conversation with each other before facing me and nodding their heads so they could start walking down the street in the direction of the triplet's house then going on to school. The triplets reacted basically the same way as the twins so I was already in a bad mood and I wasn't even at school yet.

When I did get to school though it got even worse. Everyone stopped and starred, more than usual, and started whispering. Some even took out their phones to take pictures of me. Logan, Landon, Joshua, Johnathan, and Jeremiah all realized what they were doing and surrounded me to keep me hidden as we walked into the school doors. The five continued to surround me like bodyguards for the rest of the school day then they walked me all the way home before backtracking to their own houses.

3rd Person POV:

Lucas, leader of the task force, sat in their car outside "Asher's" high school with one of him team mates. They had a picture of him and were waiting for school to get out so he can lay eyes on this "Asher" kid himself. Lucky for him there was only one way out of the school so he had clear sight of when Asher left. At three thirty kids started to exit the doors in large groups. Lucas team mates sent him pictures of the five kids that would be with Asher to maybe make it easier to spot the blond boy in the crowd. With the two men looking they managed to spot the Asher's friends walking out of the school with a head of blond hair peeking out from between the other boys since they were surrounding him. it didn't take a genius to figure out why since there were a lot of students with their phones out and pointed at the group. "It seems we are not the only ones thinking he's the kid." Lucas said to his partner.
