Dark mystery

Part 5 Danger.

Chris was snuggled in his bed, peacefully asleep. The sun rays peeked through the curtains, signaling a new day. Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted the silence. It was Carlos. He spoke in his usual commanding tone, "Benedict, wake up Chris. We need to be ready. I'll be waiting in the car." Benedict nodded and headed towards Chris' room. He gently shook Chris awake, whispering to him about their mission. Chris rubbed his eyes and quickly got ready, adrenaline rushing through his body.

As Carlos was walking towards his car, a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see a woman. she then said, "Hello Carlos, it's me!" His red eyes scanned her, his ear twitched. he didn't say anything. He then turns back around and walks towards his car again. But the woman then grabbed his hand , "Carlos, Let me explain myself.." Carlos's mind raced, and He finally spoke. "Explain what..? Leave me In the rain for hours and hours. because you had a guy- friend who needed help with what? loving..?" She then stopped him "please.. He was just lonely and He felt sad.. I need to help him" Carlos shook his head and pulled his hand away and spoke "yea... You forgot about me, August."

Carlo then turned back around and went to his car. He opened his car door and went inside.

August's words hung in the air, heavy with regret and desperation. Carlos sat in his car, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. He wanted to forgive August, to believe that he was sincere, but he couldn't forget the pain he had caused. As he sat in silence, waiting for his friends, August approached his car. "I know you're looking for your lost stepbrother, Carlos," August said, his voice trembling. "I know where he might be." Carlos looked up, his heart racing with hope. Could it be true? Could August have information about his long-lost brother?

Carlos put a firm grip on his car wheel, his jaw clenched with tension. August sat beside him, her eyes avoiding his intense gaze. "You're not lying to me...are you?" he finally spoke, his voice low and filled with doubt. August shook her head, her heart racing with fear. "No! I promise you, I'm not..." she stammered. Carlos let out a heavy sigh, his grip loosening slightly. "Okay then...get in," he said, but then added, "but I need to wait for two more people." August's curiosity got the better of her. "Who?" she asked. "Benedict and Chris," Carlos replied, his expression unreadable. August's heart sank. She knew those two would only bring trouble.
