Y/N POV

           "He really asked you? I would've thought he'd ask Aztro to help out, maybe even Ted" Mika looks at me and then out his car window, staring at the mansion I parked the car in front of.

"Uh, yeah. I'm not sure why he asked me out of everyone. But I don't mind. It gives me something to do" I shrug before shutting off the car. "Should we head inside?" I ask him. He nods. We both get out of the car, I lock it and then we both make our way over to the large metal gate that kept everyone out.

In all honesty, I brought Mika with me because it felt like Schlatt was planning something. The way he acted at the hospital was suspicious and I'm not sure if he really wanted to help me or if he was trying to get me to trust him enough so he could kill me today. Mika presses a buzzer that was built into the brick fence. "Ew, why are you here?" Schlatt asks through the speaker, I could only assume there was a camera.

"Y/N asked if I could help her out and take care of you" Mika informs Schlatt. I step closer to Mika and stare at the speaker, assuming the camera was somewhere near there. Schlatt scoffs and then there's a loud buzz. The gates in front of us click and open by themselves. "He seems annoyed I'm here" Mika comments on Schlatt's attitude.

"Maybe he's just upset he didn't know beforehand" I say as an attempt to assure Mika he could stay. He nervously hums before nodding and deciding to stay. We pass through the gate and it closes as soon as we're on the property. I shiver, growing more and more scared by the second.

I didn't get to say goodbye to Alex. But would he even care? Like, I know we're best friends, but what if he found a new one as soon as I left yesterday morning? We haven't spoken since. I wonder what he's doing. Hopefully nothing stupid.

Mika and I both push open one of the front doors, (they were that heavy), how does Schlatt even open his own doors? We both enter the home. I push the door closed, which was way easier than pushing it open. "Woah," Mika mutters. I look at him and notice him looking around the place.

"Have you never been here before?" I question. I assumed Mika had been here loads of times. They were friends, right?

"I mean, no. Schlatt has friends but it's kinda like.. one-sided friendships. The people that surround him like his personality, his money, and just him in general. He doesn't ask to be friends with people, they ask to be friends with him. And I guess I'm finally realizing that Schlatt never really talks to anyone unless it's for work" Mika explains the reason for his awe. I listened while I also looked around. I only noticed how empty the place was.
