The Rise Of Us

Chapter 58: Hard trip down memory lane

Silence

Bumpy road

That is all they can hear and feel while in the large SWAT van, all of them sitting on the long benches on each side of the van, all of them just either looking aimlessly ahead of them in thought or at Telpher who sits at the edge.

"So..." Telpher starts with a smile. "What were you all going to do before I ruined you alls afternoon?"

"Why the hell are we here?" Mike questions.

"Why are we in danger?" Eleven questions.

"Is it about El again?" Max questions.

"Okay you guys I get you all have a lot of questions right now but it is easier for me to just show you guys rather than explain every little thing. I'm sure you all would like to be shown the evidence upholded." Telpher explains.

"Evidence?" Lucas questions.

"Evidence." Telpher confirms. "So until we get there sit back relax and enjoy the really bumpy ride."

"How are we suppose to enjoy it when you just told us we are in danger?" Nancy grits out.

"And ran sacked us." Amberlee adds in.

"Well I wouldn't exactly say ran sacked we didn't have to make up the illusion you guys were criminals!" Telpher smiles. "Ah yes there's the boyfriend. See she kept saying how you weren't her boyfriend but I knew that wasn't the case." He directs at Ryder.

Ryder just looks at him with a dumb expression. "The fuck is wrong with you?"

"Yeah I asked that when I met him too." Amberlee says.

"Oh you all wound me so much! I mean I helped you in your court trial we should be besties now!" Telpher smiles.

"Steph." Amir takes her hand, seeing her lightly shake. "Shit she doesn't have her afternoon dose!"

"Afternoon dose what like cocaine or something?" Telpher questions.

"No you idiot her medications!" Steve says.

"Oh wow okay." Telpher says before he takes out his phone, putting it to his ear. "Where will the pills be found?"

"714 East—"

"Oh we know your address son we may stalk all of you to ensure safety. Just say where we can find the pills." Telpher responds.

Amir just looks at him for a moment. "On the nightstand in the bedroom."

"Alright oh hey Xavier! Yes please send someone out to get some medication pills from Amir Harringtons place on the nightstand in the bedroom. Yes the girlfriend is getting the shaky shakies. Alright." Telpher says before hanging up the phone. "See all good. Just think happy thoughts."

Stephanie just looks at him while her body shakes, Amir going to hold her. "Happy thoughts?"

"Yeah you know birds blue skies all that goodness." Telpher responds.

"Telpher just...stop." Eleven says calmly.

"Mommy what's wrong with him?" William questions.

"Oh you wound me William! It's just my normal dainty amazing personality!" Telpher smiles.

"Can the rest of this car ride be in silence Telpher? I think we can all agree that your personality is quite annoying." Lucas says.

"Oh man Lucas you wound me most of all, I cleared that dirty record of yours." Telpher responds with a smile while putting a hand on his chest. "And no more sitting in silence anymore we should be here in three two..." Telpher says before the vehicle stops. "We have arrived." He says before the door opens.
