Chapter 8: Befriending the Opposition

The sound of knocks rapidly firing against the car window makes me jolt out of my sleep.
"Wake up and get ready to leave," Luke says, Kai lets out a low grunt before slightly opening his eyes, "Good morning," he whispers. "Good morning to you too," I said while climbing into the passenger seat.

I pick up my blouse from the car floor and clothe my top half while Kai picked up his buttoned-up dress shirt and dresses himself into his suit jacket. "Just two more days of this shit until things get slightly back to normal," he says, "What even is normal anymore?" I ask.

He starts the car and then says, "When I find out, I'll let you know,". I lay back in my seat and close my eyes, letting the rays of the sun wash over my skin as Kai steered the car onto the course that Leslie and Luke's car went. He turns the radio on and the last station we were listening to was playing Habibi Love, I enjoyed the short moment it played cause Kai switched the channel to the one trading the news.

"Still no word on the occurrence that took place at the Bedwell Motel, just a few miles into our lovely city. The man involved in the incident, Noah Ballard, a clerk at the establishment claimed that the 6 people who had a hand in the event were tourists,".

Just then Kai and I look at each other cueing us to laugh before turning our sights back to the road, "See this wouldn't happen if you'd listened to me when I said that we should go to another hotel," I say.

"Yeah, but I was too tired to be driving all around the damn place when we're already in a good enough spot," Kai replies, "That was full, and we probably would've found another place close by,".

"Well, it is what it is. The only thing we can do is leave it in the past and learn from it,", "We? it's not like I'm the one who was stubborn and wouldn't listen," I retorted, "Whatever I'm off you now," He says.

Luke's car takes a detour to a way leading up to a diner called Sunny Side Social, based on the name, I'm expecting five-star graded eggs. We get out of the car and get into the establishment that had quite a few customers engaged in their breakfasts, all men except for the person around the counter. Kai and I walk to the booth holding the others and slide ourselves inside and into their conversation.

"Weather condition's supposed to get pretty bad in a few hours, might set us back to reaching the gate tomorrow rather than later today," Armani says, "Well I dunno about the rest of you but I'm thinking that that's a good thing, it'll give us more time to prepare ourselves for what we might face," Luke conveys. I agree with this, in the time that we left the gate open, something must've gotten out. It could be waiting for whoever left it open to come back and close it so it could strike or take control of the person's body and roam this world like an average human, and who's to say that more than one didn't escape?

"Good Morning, what can I get for you folks?" A woman asks, I face her and say, "I'll have a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon with a coffee,". "I'll have the same but I'll take mine black," Kai says.

"Ew, you still drink that shit?" I question, "I get to decide what I put in my mouth, don't I?".

The woman takes down the other's orders and after she walks away, my eyes lock onto another set that was gazing in our direction. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion before looking elsewhere to see yet another person staring, this prompted me to look around the place and there was not a single pair of eyes that wasn't directed at our table.

I turn away and interrupt Marcy's words saying, "Guys, don't look now, but everyone in this place is watching us,". "What?" Armani says before looking back, Leslie smacks him upside the head before whispering, "She told you not to look, dumbass,". "Sorry," He mutters while rubbing the spot, "Let's just leave before they start something," Kai says.
