Seven Phantom Ghosts: Book 1

Chapter Eight

School House - December 24th - 0803 - Homeroom

    Wade finally showed back up to the school after being gone for two full weeks, for reasons that were his own, he told no one, not even Zach, Alison, or even Mrs. Chifuyu when he just left the classroom. He strolled into the classroom like he normally did and sat down while the teacher was writing something on the board and sat down without being heard.

    Mrs. Chifuyu turned around and still didn't see him in his desk, but when she began to take roll, she looked at his desk to confirm that he was gone and that's when she saw him sitting in his seat, "Oh, Welcome back Wade. Did you enjoy your vacation away from school?"

    "Sorry for making you worry, Mrs. Chifuyu. Things had suddenly come up that needed to be taken care of." He sat there, but still seemed to be in a dull funk, but it wasn't as bad as when he first came back from the hospital. He looked around and noticed a couple new faces, but also noticed that one was now missing, "Excuse me , but out of curiosity, where is Hanna, or has she gone incognito as well?"

    "She is actually on a family trip, one that she had informed me of and not just walked out of the classroom, like some kind of dropout asshole." Mrs. Chifuyu was trying to hold back her emotions when telling Wade off the way she did, but she was an emotional teacher and is concerned for all of her students, even the ones who leave for no reason without telling her or anyone else.

     Wade was feeling bad about leaving without saying anything now, especially with how Mrs. Chifuyu gets emotional over anything that they do inside or even outside the school grounds, and to her, just walking out of the classroom like he did was apparently a big no-no in her book, one that he was still trying to learn, but couldn't. He stood up and bowed his head and apologized formally, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Chifuyu, I truly didn't mean to upset you in anyway with my departure, it was careless and insensitive of me. Can you forgive me?"

     The whole class was in shock over him bowing to apologize to Mrs. Chifuyu. They all were about to pull out their phone and get evidence that this happened, but before they had a chance to, they all stopped when they felt a cold chill get sent down their spines when they caught a glare from the corner of Wade's eye that felt like death itself. But then there was a flash, letting them know that someone either was accepting death or that it was Zach being himself and not being phased by Wade's silent threat.

     "You should know that doesn't work on me, Wade. It might scare the other students, but I'm immune to your Lethal charms." He said with a mocking grin, "But they have the right to be worried though, and they do find it rare for you to be formal apology, a simply 'Sorry' coming from you is rare enough. Seriously though, where the hell have you been?"

     Tempe was shocked when she too saw Wade through one of the cameras that they installed in the schools, "Holy shit, our little rouge bastard finally shows his fucking face again." She went into the COMMs and sent a message to Zach through his phone.

      Zach looked at his phone and saw the message.

                               Wade is back. You no longer have to look after Alison for us anymore.

      Zach groaned at the timing of the message and only thought, "No-fucking-shit." He pushed his phone back into his pocket and looked back at Wade, "So, where the fuck have you been?"

    "Nowhere you need to be concerned with, Zach." He sat down and pulled on his headphones and went to sleep, already back in the old routine, as if he had never been gone.

     About an hour away, pulled into a parking lot to an old warehouse were multiple cop cars, SAT trucks, the works as everyone was searching the whereabouts of a group of gang members that they had been investigating that were involved with the kidnapping of Alison back at the school who managed to escape without being discovered by Wade and the others. The officers made their way into the warehouse and what they saw, even made some of the veteran officers, who had seem some shit, look away from the scene.
