Minecraft: a Novel

Chapter 12

I had something I really wanted to say.

"So... why are you so, young?"

Jane laughed. "Young? Well, I might not have explained this. See, here at HH the oldest member is Ben, who is 13. We believe that youth can be... more inteligent than those older than us."

A blonde girl no older than 10 walked in the room with her arms full of papers. "Who's this?"

"A possible victim," Jane replied. She looked at me. "This is Grace, one of our members."

"So were did you want these files?" Grace asked.

"In cabinet four," Jane said.

This was kinda weird. This 'organization' was led by a thirteen-year-old?

Jane sighed and looked at me. "I know it sounds strange. But you will get used to it. I'll introduce you to the crew." She pulled out of her pocket a cell phone. She then put it up to her mouth and said, "All hands to room I-1, repeat. All hands to room I-1."

A few seconds later I heard footsteps in the hallway. Running.

First a boy, about the same age as Jane sprinted in. "Yes?"

"Introduce you to our newest member."

Wait. Back up a sec. Newest member?

He walked up to me and smiled. "My name is Ben. I'm the main guy around here. At least for the rest of this week," He looked at Jane. "Then Janie here takes over."

Next came a girl, a little older than Grace with gleaming red hair, came in.

"Give an intro to youself to this fine gentleman," Ben told her.

"I'm Ben's sister, Lora."
