INNER KILLER

Chapter 7

"You're stupid!",  "you're an IMBECILE!" She kept going on and on from the minute we fled the streets. I just rolled my eyes while we headed back to my room, careful not to be noticed by Mother or one of her 'reporters'. "I can't believe you did that, we could've gotten arrested or worse, killed, as in no more life for you or me jackass." Zel ranted on.

"Could you stop!" I finally cracked, turning around and grabbing her shoulders. "It already happened. Now be quiet before someone hears your big mouth and start asking questions." I swiftly walked into my room, pulling my sister behind me and shut the door. I pulled the Z-Tech phone out from the inside pocket of my leather jacket and placed it in her hands, before throwing myself down onto the bed. "This is what you got from them?.."  She asked me in a way that also sounded like a statement. Confusion on her face plain as day. I opened my eyes and nodded at her.

"I guess we can go through contacts, calls and texts, trace them and...see what we find."

"But we're going to have to do that on our own, you know that right?" I assured her.

"You mean sneaking into HQ to use the tech?", "Dexter, Mother will..."

"No one can know we have that. We'd have to explain what happened, how the hell we got it and i just might get my ass literally thrown into the gutter."

"And you want company don't you?", "because you know i'd get into trouble too."

"I didn't ask for you to come with me."  I sternly replied to her.

"But i did, because i didn't want you going out there alone, because i didn't want you getting into trouble for leaving the Cove without permission, because that's what siblings are supposed to do." She was right and i felt a bit of guilt for dragging her into my mess this time. She was always there for me even when i didn't deserve it.

"Look, i'm sorry. I just feel like it's my duty to save Brazil and if that means breaking some rules then...bloody hell i will. Don't leave me hanging sis, i still need you, always will."

She threw the phone on the bed next to me and proceeded to leave. "Well you better find a place to hide that then."  I grabbed it up, getting off my bed and called to her. She stopped and came back to my doorway. "Much appreciated. You know, for having my back and stuff."  I sucked at thanking people which caused her to smile a bit and she replied, "With this life we live brother, someone has to." Then she continued down the hall.

I immediately started scanning my room for a legitimate place to hide the phone, then i remembered the little vent in the wall, in the corner near my bed, behind the stand and quickly went over to it. I moved the cover and everything, placed the phone in a empty box i had lying around and slid it, not too far in, inside the vent. I shut it tight then pushed my bed stand against it. "I better get something out of this." I said to myself on the way to my shower.

ZEE~~

The 'jail' food wasn't that bad and the bed was comfortable enough for me to sleep on...if i remembered how to. Not that i wanted to sleep because having no control over your dreams, with the ability that i possessed was overbearing. {ALL SUBJECTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE LEVEL 1 TRAINING ROOM. ALL SUBJECTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE LEVEL 1 TRAINING ROOM NOW.} The speaker in my room went off for the first time since i'd been placed in here. I got up at the same time my door was unlocked and opened and a guard-like man looked at me and gestured his head for me to walk out the room. As i exited, i saw others walking out of their rooms and forming a line, heading toward the said training room. They were all dressed as i was; the same white shirt and pants and slip ons.
