The Carson Sister

Chapter 15

ASHER POV

As soon as I saw my little sisters arm I was infuriated. My main goal was to track down the idiot who dared to lay a finger on her. Everyone knows who she is, and what the consequences are is you mess with her. What left me at a loss for words is when Felix told me that some kid in her health class did this. It's clear they were looking for trouble.

It's been about two days since the incident at the mall, and in that time our research team has been working on getting that Carter kid's file. A young high school student should be really easy to track down, but for some reason we couldn't find anything on this kid. That's why Felix and I are heading out soon to ask around about this guy. That includes going to his teachers and a few students. You see if Dr. Barns were still here, my family and I would just force him to give us his student records. Unfortunately Barns had to leave us a little early.. the price to pay if you don't fork over your half of a deal.

"You ready man?" Felix asks, coming up behind me and giving my shoulder a squeeze.

"Yeah, you're driving though bud," I say while tossing him the keys to my old black Camaro. No way in hell I'm letting anyone touch my current baby, so he can just drive this old one.

"Where to first?" Felix asks, while driving out of our gateway.

"I was thinking we head to the school first and ask around," I tell him.

"Right, one problem there Asher. The school is closed off for two weeks because of that incident," Felix says in a tone that suggests I should know this.

"But the detentions still stand. Obviously if he was stupid enough to mess with our flower he most likely hangs around with other delinquent kids," I explain to him.

"Well we're about to find out I guess," Felix says, while parking the car in front of the school.

I mumble under my breath a quick 'guess so' and hop out of the car along with him.

"Detentions should be in the main building, somewhere near the cafeteria," I tell him and take the lead there.

"Sounds about right," Felix says and picks up his pace to match mine.

I scan through the rooms and soon find one filled with loud, obnoxious teenagers. Clearly this is the detention room. I open the door roughly with Felix following in right behind me, but we haven't gained any attention yet seeing as the teenagers are continuing to talk like nothing has happened.

"Hey! Listen up!" I command out in a loud and stern voice, immediately silencing the group of teenagers as they stare at me.

"Any of you here know Carter Blackwell?" Felix asks but it sounds like more of a demand.

A look of terror passes through the group as they all look at one another, no one speaking up. Keeping my strong facade I look over to Felix who is doing the same.

"I'm going to ask one more time nicely. Do any of you know who Carter Blackwell is?" I speak up in a demanding tone.

The teenagers begin to fidget around and they are all looking at the same kid, who surprisingly seems fairly calm unlike the rest of them.

"You," Felix says pointing at the kid who they are all staring at.

"What about me?" This kid asks raising eyebrow in a challenging manner towards Felix. Big mistake there little buddy, I think to myself as I watch Felix's whole demeanor change into a more aggressive and serious one.

Felix advances towards the kid and in a second he has grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and slammed him up against the wall. The kid let's out a grunt and gives out of his poker face. I see resistance in this kid, but he clearly hasn't been trained properly. Still we don't want to cause a big scene... yet.
