Last Month

[Month ago, Last night]

I was walking to the dorms at the university I study at. As I walked, I sent a text to Brad where I was. I usually don't tell anyone where I'm at, since I'm so used to hiding in the shadows, however, I felt I needed someone to know where I was at. I felt threaten the way Adam look at me earlier. I did not want him to hurt my best friend or his son since they are only the closest thing I have as family. When I approach to Adam's dorm, I just felt chills. I was too hesitant to knock on the door, but I had to. I knock once. The door crack opened. 

"Hello?" I said as I step in. I placed my hand on my holster. I brought my gun in case I needed to defend myself. 

I heard the door shut behind me. 

"Don't you move. Just listen." I left a barrel of the gun behind my back. I stayed where I was and let out a sigh.

"You got me here...although this does not sound like you." I said to him.

"I know, but I could not say it at the office. If I told you there...we were both been dead by now." He said nervously. 

"Dead? You were one that was sexually harassing me and shit!" I did not want to tolerate it, but kept myself calm. 

"Look, the shit I did to you, was not me." I heard him pause for a moment and let a sigh. "I know you will not going to believe me, but Clare is the one making me do this shit."

"Bullshit!" I said angrily to him. 

"Jess, listen. You know how no one knows what type of power Clare has? Well, Emily knows. Clare can control you from distances away and do horrible things. Horrible things we as mind readers deeply desire." He said.

"Oh so your desire is to touch me without my permission? Is that your desire Adam?!" I turn around and pull out my handgun. He pointed the shotgun on my face. 

"I told you not to move and just listen. Why is it so hard for you to believe me? I know what I did to you at the office was horrible! I feel disgusted and I can't even go to my daughter without thinking if she was your age and the position you were. You think I enjoy it? No! I did not. After that situation, I threw up. I swear Jesse! I am telling you the truth." He begged as he continue to point his gun at me. 

"Clare is the reason her ex-husband is missing. Sam's boys have been located and contract. I made sure they got all the information I know what she been doing to the agency and also any clues to find Sam. Clare is bad news Jesse. She is planning to do something bad to you. Trust me and not come to work tomorrow please!" I just stared at him as I place my handgun back to my holster. He still kept his gun pointed at me. How much I wanted to believe, I know I couldn't unless he could prove it to me. 

"If I don't come in, she will suspect I already know what is going on. Since you state she has you under her control." I said to him. His eyes widen with fear when I said that to him.

"You are right...I guess it is best to end our lives here then." He said as he place his finger on the trigger. My heart started to race, but I stayed calm. 

"I'm not going to let you end my life just because you are scare of some bitch." I said and let out a sigh. "That includes yours well, Adam. So, if I was you please put the down gun and I will listen. Tell me everything." He nodded as he pointed his gun away from me and pointed at his head.

"What the fuck are you doing Adam?!" I said calmly, even though instead I was panicking.

"It's just in case Clare steps in my mind." He said. 

"Well, I am listening." I said. 

He started to talk.
