Working with the FBI

Picking up my phone, I text Leonela or Nela (as my friends and I like to call her):

[Hey, wanna come over 2night?]

As usual she replies in 15 seconds:

[Sure I'm free! R Andrea and Aria coming?]

Me: [Sadly no, Aria has to babysit her bro and Andrea has family over.]

Andrea Gremés and Aria Tanner were our other friends we were a quad, kind of like a four-leaf clover. Lucky us, huh?

Nela: [oh :'( I'll be there at 6. Can I bring a movie?]

Me: [sure1 what's it called?]

Nela: [it's a surprise! C u @ 6 tho! Bye!]

Me: [aww no fair! C u @ 6 :) ]

As I waited for Nela to come over, I got the living room ready. My parents and sister went grocery shopping, so I was home alone. Scary right? Not really, it was 6pm which counts as the afternoon because the sun's still out.

Nela finally came and guess what movie she brought? World War Z!!! Out of all the movies we could have watched she chose that one! Just watching the trailer for it was enough to give me nightmares! Throughout the whole movie me n' Nela were screaming "Ahhh! THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!!! THEY'RE GONNA BITE YOU!!"

After the movie ended Nela and I just sat there on my sofa, not daring to move. They're gonna come out of nowhere... they're gonna attack me. Blood's gonna pour, they are gonna bite me. Calm down Cole, calm down, I tell myself. All of a sudden, we heard a loud thump and we both screamed "ZOMBIES!" The next thing I knew, we were both hugging each other. After a long pause, Nela said "we should go see what happened." I was still scared but I nodded and we both headed slowly toward the backyard. We entered from the side, and it was a good thing too. 

From the corner of my eye, I saw a big, tall man dressed in black with a black mask covering his face, just barley showing his eyes. Real original I thought. OMG there's a thief in my neighbor's backyard who could be a criminal at the top of a wanted list for all I know and I'm thinking about his outfit! "Nela, hurry! we have to hide there are thieves!", I half hissed and half yelled to her, stopping her from walking any further and exposing us. We were already outside and if we went back in the thieves would hear us, so I quickly scanned for a place to hide. The first thing I saw were my trash cans and without hesitation I leapt inside one and so did Nela. Luckily, the trash was taken out earlier today so it was still "bearable" in them. 

After seven minutes about having a million thoughts about zombies, thieves and my precious life, I opened the lid of the trash can a little bit just so I could see what was going on. I saw a man and a guy that looked about my age, almost 16, yelling at each other. 

The man dressed in black: "Hurry up pipsqueak!" 

The guy: "okay, okay, I'm coming" 

"don't okay me! you're slower than a snail and if we get caught stealing I'm going to tell the boss!" 

As the guy turned around to apologize, I couldn't help but think I've seen him before. He had blue eyes and brown hair...He kind of looked like...Jace! That's who he his! ["Sorry, I didn't mean to slow us down"] Yup that is definitely Jace Hayer's voice, that goes to the same High school as me. 

For a second, I thought our eyes met but he quickly turned away and ran to where the other men dressed in black were going. After about 2 minutes, I decided it was safe and opened the whole lid. Nela must've heard me and did the same. We both came out and starred at each other. breaking the silence, I said "you know who I saw?" 

"who?" she asked. 

"Thieves" I stated. 

"No, duh!" she replied. 

"and Jace Hayer... as in the one who goes to our school!" 

"What!?" 

"I know he was the only one I think that wasn't wearing a mask but he also had blue eyes and brown hair."
