Unveiling Secrets

Chapter Thirty-Five

"I'm Jeremy and this is my boyfriend Brian. Sorry that I didn't introduce myself until now."

Chandler smiles at Jeremiah, the man who had took care of her, and then she looks up to Brian who had saved her from the room she was held in.

"I'm Chandler. Thanks for everything."

"Don't mention it kid."

Chandler nods and then remain silence. Her mind is then occupied again with thoughts of her friends. She is worried about them and wonders how they are doing with her absence and positively, Roman's. Suddenly a loud alarm sounds which makes the two men with her get up from their seats hastily.

"Is th-that...." Jeremiah starts but then stops.

"Yes it is. Who the hell would attack us? I have to go." Brian announces but before he leaves, Chandler stops him.

"An attack?" She ask.

"Yes. Probably it's not that serious. Not so many are successful attacking us." Brian replies but Chandler has a bad feeling about all this.

"I was hoping you would help me get my friends. They must be worried about me." She says hoping for a positive reply from the man. When he remains silent, she pleads and even makes a tear fall for effect.

"Oh dear. Baby please help them." Jeremiah pleads to her boyfriend as well which makes Brian sigh.

"Alright. Get ready to leave, I'll be back." Brian vanishes and Jeremiah helps the girl to get ready and then readies himself because he will be going with them.

Chandler smiles as she gets ready to leave. She is finally going to see her friends and that meant a lot to her. Brian comes back and then leads the two to where her friends are possibly to be. He was gone for a few minutes to let Jeremy know that he will join him soon. He only had to help the girl and then he will leave to fight at the gate. He opens the door to the cells and the girl runs inside.

Chandler runs inside and stops by the cell where her friends are. She waits impatiently for Brian to open the door and when he does, she runs inside and does a group hug with her friends. The girls are crying and so is she but they are all happy.

"Where is Manny?" A small voice ask and Chandler looks down to Dee.

"Yeah, where is he? They got him days ago." Victor states and they all look at Chandler expectingly.

"I don't know where he is guys. I'm sorry." She replies and the happy expressions on their faces goes away, once again replaced with sadness.

They all knew what must have befallen Roman and they were all worried. Even as they left the cells and escorted back to Jeremiah's house, the dreadful feeling never left them. And the sniffing sound from Dee wasn't helping at all.

Brian excuses himself from the group when Jeremy calls for him. The kiss he gets from him has him running to the gate an information the now battle taking place there.

**
Roman stops running when he feels he won't get anywhere. The darkness around him isn't helping because he can't see a thing and directions are unknown to him.

"He-help m-me."

A faint cry is heard and Roman looks around despite the darkness, hoping to catch a sight of whoever is calling for help. He takes a few steps forward when he bluntly stops when his legs come in contact with something.
