Chapter 2- A Bloody Call

Hanging out at the Party House was not that bad. I have been going there for a couple of weeks now, sneaking out from my window.

Matt and I still haven't talked about the "bad memories I would have" topic, but it wasn't on purpose. I forgot about it and we were constantly busy.

We were regularly climbing up the cliffs trying to find a way to go through the door, I had grown pretty close with everyone, even Sylvia, and my life had, kind of, changed for the better.

That was until the call.

Apparently, the mayor started being annoyed by our climbing up the cliffs when it was forbidden and called at the Party House as we were getting things ready.

Matt picked up, and called us around. He covered the microphone, whatever that thing is called.

"It's the mayor." He mouthed. Okay, if we were anyone else, we would be delighted to have the mayor on the line, but we did some illegal stuff. And the cops were after us. "Yes mister Mayor, I am here." Matt says. "Yes, the others are here too... On speaker?! Okay..." He put us on speaker.

"I hear you kids have been going up the cliffs. Don't you know it is forbidden?" Mayor Phillips says.

"We kind of noticed with the cop--" Jace starts, but Chase elbowed him. Yeah, I started telling them apart. Long story short, Chase is always on the left and Jace is on the right.

"Why is it forbidden?" Eliza asks.

"That is none of your business. If you agree to drop it I will restrain the police from crashing your parties, but if I find out you were up there again you will all be arrested and that's just the beginning. Now, I want your names." He says and we look at each other.

"Why would we give you our names?" I ask.

"So that I know who you are. Besides the house is surrounded, do you really want to go to jail?" He must have made the cops come while we were talking. We look at Matt and he nods.

"Matthew Dollace." He says.

"Eliza Road."

"Jace Dayson."

"Sylvia Sherol."

"Chase Dayson."

"Aileen Parker." I say. Silence.

"Did you say Parker?" He asks.

"Yeah, why?" I ask. Nothing.

"I hope you are good kids and do as I say. Would be a pity losing the House, wouldn't it?" The Mayor says and hangs up.

"What the hell was that?" I ask.

"I don't know, but we need to go up there again." Matt says.

"The cliffs?! Are you mad? The bloody Mayor just called us and told us to stay away!' Sylvia asks.

"Which means there is something big going on up there." He defends.

"What about the House?" Eliza asks.

"He won't have any proof if we don't get caught!"

"He is the Mayor. He doesn't need any proof to get us arrested." I tell him.

"Then we try to not be noticed. We can go during the party, when they won't expect it."

"And it will be dark." I say.

"Then I will go alone." He says. What an idiot.

"It will be easier for them to catch you if you are alone." Jace says.
