The search - Jc Caylen

Chapter 1

This is my story, on my disappearance. And the reason why?

"Hey, haven't seen you all day how have you been" said Justin.
"I'm good thanks, what are you doing tonight?" Said Justin's best friend Sarah.
"Nothing, do you want to come over?"
"Sure I'd love to, thanks for asking, I'll be there in 20 minutes, see you then" said Sarah, and she hung up the phone.
I've known Sarah since grade 10 started, and we are both currently in grade 12 with only one more month left of school. She is so nice, she's like the exact same person just a girl. But one thing she's missing is a secret identity, of a person that you never wanted to be, a fake name, a fake person., a fake life.
I had just received a text from my friend John, sorry not my friend. Not even close. I hated him, he was always bossing me around like I'm a child.
"We need your help tonight," said John.
"I can't tonight I have plans." I said.
"Your life is on the line Justin, I suggest you get here, or else someone might be angry." John replied.
"But I helped yesterday, I'm really busy tonight." I said.
"To bad, you got us in this mess, so I suggest you get us out." Said John, in an angry voice.
"What time?" I said, in disappointment.
"7" said John, and with that he quickly hung up.
It was currently 4pm and Sarah should be here at any minute, I hope I can make it there in time. I thought.
'Ding dong'
Sarah was here and I had to put a smile on, and act like everything was fine.
"Hi Sar.."
It was not Sarah, it was definitely not Sarah, it was much worse. It wasn't John, it wasn't my parents, family or neighbours, but it was my boss, Jane.
"If you hadn't noticed my names Jane. There's no time for talking, come with me." She said, and she grabbed my arm and tried to pull me to her car, so she could talk to me.
"I can't I have someone coming over tonight" I said with an angry voice.
"You need to come and help us, do you remember that you're living because of me, you should really listen to me, or else you won't be living, unless you can stay alive with no help but your own" she said, with a yell.
But before we could continue anything, Sarah drove up.
" See, that's what I mean, I'm busy, John told me 7, I'll do my best to be there." I said, pissed off.
"7," Jane said with a stern voice, then walked away with heavy footsteps.
I walked up to Sarah's car, and I could see the wonder in her eyes. I haven't told her anything about my secret, she doesn't need to know.
"What the hell was that about." She asked confused.
"Oh, um, that was just a girl from my middle school, a couple years ago, she was driving by and recognized me and thought that she should say hi." I replied, trying to act honest.
"Oh, ok, she seemed kind of mad?" Said Sarah.
"Ya I know. I think she had a bad day." I said, hoping that she would believe me.
"Let's go inside." I said trying to change the topic.
We talked about school and are family, and then we ended up watching a movie, after a while I remembered that I had to go, and I didn't know what time it was, so I grabbed my phone to check.
"Crap" I said, as I leaped off the chair and started to get ready.
"Is something wrong?" Said Sarah,
"Ya, I was supposed to be somewhere at 7." I said, upset that I was late.
"Oh, should I leave?" Asked Sarah.
"Ya sorry"
It was 7:30 when I realized I was late, and I was scared on how they would react.

Sarah's pov

Justin's been acting weird lately, I hope everything's ok. He's kind off creeping me out.
"Ok then, I'll go, I'll talk to you later, have a great night, bye." I said, and got my shoes on and left.
As I was walking out the door, I could hear him talking to someone on his phone, and he had his window open beside the door, so I decided to try and listen to what he was saying, so that maybe I could find out why he was acting so strange. I could only hear him, not the person on the phone.
"Ya, I know, it won't happen again. I'm sorry," said Justin, he was yelling really loud. I wouldn't be surprised if his neighbours heard him, I think he thought I was gone.
"I'm on my way, I don't even know why I'm coming on a Saturday night... Ya I know I got you in this mess, why does everyone keep telling me that... Ya I know I'm talking loud, what does it matter. Good bye." Then He hung up. But he was very angry.
"DAMN, my life is so messed up." He shouted.
Then I left before he could notice I was there.

Justin's pov

I finally got in the car, and started driving to the hell hole I work at. It took me 20 minutes to get there, and Jane was on the stairs, obviously not happy.
"Where the hell were you, why'd you take so long, 7 didn't we agree, and it's now 8, start explaining." She yelled, everyone was staring at us.
"I told you I was busy, but you guys insisted on me coming, I guess you guys miss me so much." I screamed right back.
"Get inside, he's waiting for you." She said as pissed off as I was.
I walked up the creaky steps, and towards my doom. I slowly walked into the head office.
"Took you long enough." Said James the leader of the place.
In this place, my name was Leon shepherd. Why would I take the chance on telling everyone my real name, this was not a place I could trust, nor people I could trust, nor a place I would want to be at.
"So, can I find out why I had to be here." I said.
"The Russians want there emerald back, and there using all there force." He said, very unhappy.

Now let me finally let you know what I do. I steal things, and I'm also a spy at the same time. But I guess you can say that I work for the wrong people, not my choice. Here's my story, and I'll try to make it short.
When I was 16, I thought that it would be fun to go and explore my neighbourhood, and I went a little farther then I meant to, and went down in a forest. Where I came across a place that looked abandoned, but to my surprise it was not. And I thought I should go in and look around. I didn't know there were people inside. I walked in, and nobody knew who I was. The guy in charge came up to me and said,
"Why the hell are you here, how did you find this place?" He yelled.
"I was exploring." I replied.
"Nobody explores, and finds this place, NOBODY." He yelled.
"But I did." I said, everyone in the place was now looking at us.
"Who sent you, was it the Russians, WHO?" He screamed.
What have I gotten myself into?
"I'll just leave and forget about this place, that I've never seen it before." I said, and started to walk away. But he blocked me.
"You don't leave this place hearing what you just heard, or even coming in here, you don't leave without consequences." He said, and I was now scared.
"But I didn't even mean to come" I said with worry in my voice.
"We are the spy & steals co. It comes from the name, we steal, and spy, were the opposite of good, but in are minds we are good, maybe not to you people." He said.
"Ok, thanks for the information, I'd like to go." I said.
"No. You now will tryout to be one of us, if you don't make it, or don't want to, then you disappear. If you understand what I mean." He said in a powerful voice.
I nodded.
I was forced into trying out for something I didn't want to do, because I walked into the wrong place at the wrong time, and now there's no going back!
That's the short version of the long story. I guess that sums it up.

"You stole the emerald, you keep it stolen, and safe. It's worth millions of dollars, we DONT lose it." Said James.
He handed me the emerald.
"It's your turn, you take care of it, hide it, but if it goes missing, it's on you." Replied James.
I was screwed. I snatched it and left, I don't need this, why do I have to keep it, I'm only one person. I wish myself luck.
"Goodbye" I screamed, obviously mad.
I got in my car and drove home.
