Legacy: Razor Series (4)

Regaining Trust

I open my eyes to see Andrew holding his blade towards me. My eyes grow big and I start to sweat. My leg hurts more than it has before. My back feels like a hundred mini dagars are stabbing me repeatedly. My eyes start to water from the pain but I suck it up and face the sword. His face looks like anger and concern, if thats even possible. I hold up my hand and place it in front of me as I lay on the floor. I throws it next to me and I flinch as it passes by my head. I look at the blade them back at him.

"Why the hell are you back?" he says in a stern cold voice. I stare at him in fear.

"The Asset tricked me. I didn't know what I was doing." I say and he seems to be knowing of the pie in formation. I figure out that he wasn't mad about that.

"Grant, you've been gone for four weeks." He says and my new slacks open. Four weeks. I thought it was a day. What the hell did that guy do to me. "Where the hell were you?" he asks me.

"I was in a room a mile or so away. This guy had some power to change what I could see. He made me see what Josh wanted me to see." I say and Andrew looks confused by the name. "The Asset. His name is Josh. He can use fire." I say and his eyes grow big.

"Did he have ginger hair and red eyes?" he asks and I'm surprised he got it spot on.

"Ya why?" I ask but he walks off towards George. I get up slowly and follow him. He shuts George's computer and suprises him. George looks up at him waiting for what he had to say.

"Do you remember five years ago a little boy named Josh who could controls fire and worked for John Kelly?" he says and George seems confused why this is in dire need of his attention.

"Ya, he almost killed us in a McDonald's. Why?" he says and Andrew points at the picture of The Asset and George shoots out of his chair. "What!?" he yells.

"Wait," I say to them and they look at me. I stand there holding my side from the pain. "You know Josh?" I ask and they look at me, happy they finally figured out who he is. They grab their weapons and coats and head for the door. I do the same, grabbing my side, holding my bat. Andrew turns and holds a gun to me. I stop in my tracks and stare down the barrel of the gun. 

"Where do you think your going?" He says and I stare at him in fear. George grabs his shoulder. 

"Hey, we can use him." He says to Andrew. Andrew turns his head from me and puts the gun down. Cameron walks up to me and gives me a welcoming smile.

"Welcome back." She says as she puts her hand on my back. I feel the pain go away immediately and i look and the stab wounds are gone. I give her a smile and I walk towards the door. I walk until I see Peter blocking my path. I stop and stare at him and he returns the stare. He puts his hands up expecting something from me.

"Well, why?" He says and everything starts to feel heavy.

"I wasn't in control of my self. The Asset tricked me." I say and he stares at me more. He breaks the stare by walking up to me. I start to sweat. his face makes him look mean. He walks up and I look away.

"Ok." He says and I look back in fear of the answer. "You've never lied to me before." He says as he walks towards the door, almost knowing what I would ask. A smile grows on my face and I run behind him. I start to walk with Peter towards Paul.

"Hey! You're with me!" I hear Andrew yell and give Peter a concerned look as I run over to him. He holds out his hand and I grab it as he slings me up behind him. I grab on to Dan's back as he shoots into the air. 

"Where are we going?!" I yell over the wind as we shoot up. 

"I don't know! Where was the cell he had you in!?" He yells and Dan finally stops flying so we can talk.I look around me and see the tall grey building that I had appeared from the dream. I point to the building and he looks where I am gesturing to.

"There." I say and Dan dives towards the building. I look and I didn't notice that Zack was at the front driving Dan. Dan shoots right for the door and I start to get worried. As we get to close for comfort, Dan switches back into the human form and we fly towards the door.

 We almost run into it until Paul grabs us and shoots us inside. We all appear in the room with the scared man, about my age, sitting in the corner. Andrew pulls a gun out on him but I hold him back. He give me a look and I give one right back.

"Trust me." I say and he holds the gun towards me now.

"Should I?" He asks with rage in his eyes. I could see a slight shade of red in his pupils, but I assume its my imagination. I hold my stare and he does the same. He puts the gun down and I walk towards the man in the corner. I put my hand on his shoulder and he flinches. I leave my hand and he turns to face me. His eyes were different colors from the other. One was blue and one was brown. He had a look of fear on his face.

"Hey." I say to him and he exposes his face more to everyone else. "Its all right." I say and I help him up from the ground. I Hold him by his arm and help him walk towards Andrew. He hands Andrew the key and we exit the room. We all walk out to the street to see everybody and he hides his eyes from bright light.

We all go back with Paul and we help him find a good spot to sleep. We set him up with what he needs and he falls asleep on the bed almost immediately. I walk back to the bed I woke up on and lay on it. My eyes start to feel heavy and I fall asleep on the bed, feeling a slight pain on my head.
