The Alpha League [ Completed ]

Chapter: 33

We stay down even after they pass through. After a few minutes, I help Jackie up and we pick up the pace.

"Who was that?" He asks.

"The monsters. It's not time for you meet them yet, it won't be long though." I reply.

"How long? I want meet them, the ones you talk so highly about." He says.

"I know, but you won't be able to if you're dead. My dad hates humans and Sans isn't too fond of them either. LB is..... in between like me and Paps just loves everyone." I say.

"That's one strange family you got there. Are there any actual humans?" He questions.

"Yeah. My brother Michael and my biological mother. Though Michael has disowned humanity and is calling himself a monster now." I start giggling. "It's funny because he hated monsters at first and said they turned me into a murderer."

"You do what you must for family, right? I'm not one to talk though, I don't even associate with mine." He says.

"Well don't worry. If this goes well you'll have a new family." I say smiling and my phone starts buzzing. I answer the call.

"Hello?"

'hey, where are ya?'

"Don't worry, I'll be home soon."

'that didn't answer my question.'

"And you didn't answer mine earlier. Sans, I'll be home soon so drop it. I can take care of myself."

'how long before ya get back?'

"I don't know, 30 minutes."

'that's too long. i'll come get ya, where are ya?'

"Sans, I'm not a kid anymore and people don't know me."

'ugh, thats beside the point. ya need to get here right now. i don't care what ya doin, drop it and get here.'

"Bite me."

'why are ya stubborn?'

"Why are you so naggy?"

'i'm not goin to tell ya again.'

"Good that means this conversation is over."
I hang up the phone and let out a deep sigh.

"Seems kind of, uh, intense." He says.

"He's totally gonna lose it." I say smirking.

"What do you mean?" He questions.

"Well he's not angered easily, but if he's worried and I don't listen to he'll lose his shit." I explain. "Just wait for it." I say.

"Wait for--" His sentence is cut off by a laser blast and an explosion. He turns and sees a bright blue light. "The fuck was that?!"

"He lost his shit." I say coming to a stop. "I'd walk you all the way, but Sans would obliterate the damn house."

"Alright." He says and I tug his sleeve. "What is it?"

"Is there a van parked two blocks over?" I ask and he pushes his glasses up and squints.

"Yeah." He replies.

"Looks like I'm walking you all the way." I say taking his hand and dashing into the alley. I take him into the sewers and begin navigating through them. After about ten minutes, I power off my cell and take the card out the back.

"What's going on?" He asks.

"That van had equipment in it, high tech equipment. I think they're looking for the person who took down Fontaine and Incorporeal knows that information." I explain. "That's probably why Sans wanted me home."

"You should get back, I can find the rest of my way." He says.

"It's fine. We're here." I say pointing to the sewer cap above us. I listen for any signs of a vehicle before pushing the lid up and pulling Jackie out of the sewer. We run into the hotel and check in. We make our way up to his room and I grab the phone and call Sans.

'where the fuck are ya?'

"I'd tail you, but I wouldn't want you to follow me and what's the fun in being found."

'a'ight fine, i give. do what ya want, but don't call for help.'

"I wouldn't dream of it. I'm gonna have truck loads of fun."

'whatever.'

I hang up the phone and look at Jackie, then turn off the lights. I walk over to window and peek out and see a few trucks circling the area.

"What was up with that?" He asks.

"Secret code, let's us talk in case we're being tapped. Just a series of plays on words." I explain. "He's gonna be so pissed at me tomorrow."

"Why?" He asks walking over the his dresser.

"Because he's expecting me to come in tonight, but I can't, not with those guys stalking me." I reply as I change into my clothes.

"Warn a guy next time!" He yells facing the wall.

"Sorry, you're not used to being changed in front of? That's okay, Sans wasn't either." I chuckle as I climb in bed. "Well, let's get some rest. I gotta get up early."

"Alright." He says lying down next to me. "This is my only chance, I'll never get to sleep with a girl." He adds and I burst out in laughter. I wake up around 4 in the morning and change into my clothes. I make my way back to the house arriving just after 5 and sneaking my way into the house.

"yousa sneaky one, not that damn sneaky." I hear Sans' voice and instantly cringe. "where have ya been missy?"

"A hotel." I reply walking past him and into the kitchen to grab a water.

"ya smell nice, who was at the hotel with ya?" He asks and I cringe a little harder.

"I was with a friend." I say drinking the water.

"was he with ya all day?" He asks.

"Yes, he was. We hung out for a while, you know normal stuff." I say.

"really, because ya been actin very strange, this entire week, like ya tryin to hide somethin." He says.

"I am, but it's nothing to be concerned about, nothing serious anyways." I reply setting the water down. "I'm gonna go and take a shower."

"a'ight, but don't let this be the thing that comes between us. i'm patient, but when somethin belongs to me, i tend to want to keep it that way." He says getting off the couch.
