Mind, Speed, Hate The Psycho

DETECTIVE STRUCKER

NATHAN'S POV

After we left the house. I kinda ditched first period. I'm at the back of the school just chilling and thinking about how those two must be destroying Sandra's ears in that house. She's bound to come out of that bed soon to yell at them.

My phone starts to ring. Unknown number.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Nathan. This is detective Strucker."

"How you doi. . ."

"Meet me at now at the pizza restaurant next to the park right now. As in right this instant."

"Okay jeez. I'm coming." I said before running into the place.

When I'm right outside the door, I look around but don't see him.

"Hey where are you? I'm in front of the restaurant but I haven't seen you."

"Look around I'm wearing a black leather jacket and some grey skinny jeans." I look around and saw him seating at a corner.

When I walk up to him I take a seat next to him.

"Hi."

"Why did you want to find out about the Los Illuminados?" He asked instantly.

"I used to be among them before and Karen said they got involved in this situation."

"I don't see your tattoo." He said.

"That's because it's on my lap."

"You're a smart kid. I used to be among them to. While I was in high school."

"Really where's your tattoo?"

"At the base of my spine."

"That's so cool. Why did you join them?"

"I'd like to tell you that sob story but right now I can't do that." He brings out a drive." I'm one the run. I couldn't get anything else on the Illuminados except that they were sent by the Illuminati."

"That's crazy. If the Illuminati are involved this is going to be dangerous to all of us."

"They only think it's the police involved. I hope. This drive holds secrets or a clue that can be used to find them. I don't know what it is but whatever this is they killed whoever that made this drive."

"How did you get this?"

"I found a secret Illuminati base in Goat Island." The way he said that made it so funny. I busted out in laughter. I

"Oh. . Goat. . . Good one Strucker. I mean. . . Whose stupid enough to believe there's. . . An island known as. . . Goat Island." My laughing fit choked my voice.

"Seriously."

"I can't imagine waking up in the morning and saying. "Hey look everyone I bought an island. You wanna know what I named it. GOAT ISLAND."" I said is a grumpy voice before throwing another fit of laughter.

He looks at me blankly.

"Wait your serious right now? As in there's an island named Goat Island."

"Would I joke at a time like this when my life is in danger by being around people outside?"

"Sorry. . ." I wanted to shut up but I just had to ask. "Why would they name it Goat."

"How in fuckers name I'm I supposed to know that?!" He said pissed.

"Sorry, sorry, fine. Where's this goat island."

"Niagara Falls, NY 14303, USA. It's a small, uninhabited island named for previous animal occupants & known for its views of the Falls."

"And you said you didn't know." I snickered.

"If you say one more thing referring to the name of that island. Your going to be the next roasted goat for Christmas."

"Okay. What did you do with the base and how did you know it was there's."

"It had their symbols in the place. I found where a group of them gathered."

"Listen Nathan. I'm not sure I'm going to be alive in the next few hours or minutes so I need you to hide this and find out why they did this and there involvement with this project."

"Don't trust anyone. Especially the police. Keep this to yourself no matter what."

"Keep what to yourself?"

"Sandra! You're out." I said childishly hoping to divert the topic."

"Even someone in a mad state of grief can not take the stupid noise going on in that house. I thought you and Cass going at each other's throat is dangerous but they are so much worse."

"Yeah he brings out the worse in her."

" I know right but you are still telling me what you were talking about."

"I can't get out of this now can I?"

"Nope." She said popping the "p".

"Okay. . ."

"No. Talk to her when you're alone. Someone is watching us. On our nine o'clock wearing a black beanie and black sweat shirt." Strucker interrupted still looking at his pizza.

"Sandra let's go." I said without looking at who he was referring to. We walk out of the restaurant with Strucker and that's when shooting goes down.

I turn around to see where the shots come from. I see a whole gang of people. About twenty guys in front of me.

Another shot is fired I couldn't pick a direction quick enough until Strucker groaned in pain.

"Take the girl away from here I'll lead them away from you." He said dipping his finger into his shoulder to remove the bullet while taking cover.

"I can take you both."

"They're snipers everywhere we won't survive take the girl, they are after me. I take that alley you take the other one." He said pointing to the two alleyways behind us."Keep that drive safe. Now go." I nodded before carrying Sandra and speeding into the alley. I would have continued running if only I didn't see a familiar figure. The guy I saw in the middle of the road when Ava went missing with his irritable smirk dancing on his lips.

My legs start to feel like they weigh a ton. I stared into the familiar green eyes that stared back at me.

I was so concentrated on those eyes that I didn't know what was happening until I heard a piercing scream.

Sandra.

I summoned all my strength and ran. I think I must have ran at least a few miles before I collapsed in the middle of the road with a pounding headache.

This is the shortest chapter in the history of shortest chapters but I can make up for it in the next one.
