Light Unbridled- Chapter 40: Burner Phone

*The scene opens with Zack sitting in the lobby with Bryce’s phone and his laid on a table as he summons Sundial and begins to work on one of them *

Zack: Like I said I'm not sure if this is even gonna work.

Hayden: That's fine, we just have to try.

Bryce: If this place knows about stands is it really a good idea for Zack to be openly using his out here?

Ozzy: That's a good point.

Hayden: It'll be fine. Just make sure we stay in front of Zack so people can't see past us.

Bryce: What about the cameras?

Hayden: Since Zack is sitting down, if we stand in front of him the cameras shouldn't be able to see him either.

Ozzy: Alright then.

*Zack fully grabs onto his phone and begins setting Sundial backwards. He holds onto the phone for roughly a minute and then let's go to check and see if enough time has passed.*

Zack: Call is still there. I'll keep going but I'm not sure.

Bryce: We'll know it didn't work when the phone ceases to exist.

Ryan: Wait a minute! Why don't we just erase the phone from existence? Then they don't have anything at all to search.

Riley: That could work right?

Bryce: Do you really wanna not have a phone during all of this?

Ozzy: I agree with Bryce here, having no phones makes communication with each other way harder than it needs to be.

*During the argument Hayden is thinking back to something that was said a while back. He then comes to a haunting realization.*

Hayden: Guys!

Everybody: What?

Hayden: Do you remember that ominous phone call we got after the bus crash?

*Everyone nods their head in agreement.*

Hayden: The person behind all these attacks stated that they knew us. As in, have known us for a while.

Bryce: And?

Hayden: If that's the case, then maybe they know some of our numbers as well.

Ryan: Right?

Hayden: And if that's the case they may be tracking the numbers and getting our location when we send messages or call each other.

Andrew: Oh fuck off. Are you serious?

Hayden: Unfortunately I am. I mean think about it, how else could the enemy know where we are all the time. It's because of these.

*Hayden reaches down into his pocket to grab his phone but is shocked when he doesn't feel it. He quickly checks the other pocket but doesn't feel it there either.*

Isaiah: What is it? You look upset.

Hayden: My phone. . . It's still at the hospital.

Bryce: Oh for fucksake.

*Bryce facepalms and quickly realizes how bad that truly is.*

Bryce: Fuck! I called you multiple times as well before I called Zack. I left voice-mails too.

Andrew: You already know damn well that the hospital is taped off and being investigated by police.

Ryan: So what you're saying is that what Zack is doing right now is pointless because the police already have a valuable piece of evidence against us.
