SeptiplierAntiseptiplier: New Year New Me

Chapter 35

CHAPTER 35

Mark's POV

"By the way, how did you know something happened two years ago?" Jack looked at me with gentle curiosity in his eyes.

I was mumbling and choking on my own words as I looked for a way to get myself out of this conversation. As I was about to reply, police sirens were heard in the distance. The volume increased as the car got closer.

Both of our heads were locked onto the vehicle until we saw something unexpected. We were able to see the criminal in the back seat, but that didn't surprise us. What did shock us is that we saw a masked boy in there. There is only one person that it could be, Cry.

I...I refuse to believe that is Cry in there! It must be an imposter, right?

Without thinking, I ran after that car at an inhuman speed. I flailed my arms around in an attempt to capture the cop's attention. He did indeed notice and slowed down, giving Jack the opportunity to catch up to me.

The cop rolled down the window with a stern expression and began to speak to me.

"What do you want kid?" The cop growled out of irritation.

I peered into the backseat and to my dismay, I saw Cry in a pitiful state.

His head was facing down and he stared at the handcuffs on his wrists. The scent of semi-fresh blood lingered in the air. Oddly enough, he didn't seem to notice us.

"Cry? Cry! What are you doing here!?" I yelled my head off, causing the annoyed officer to cover his ears slightly. Tears streamed down my face like a waterfall and I began to cry even harder when I realised what this meant for our future.

Cry is going to prison no matter how much I deny it. He was there for me when no one else was. Will I ever see him again? I have to! I can't lose him!

The cop only grew even more angry at the sound of my cries.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" He completely snapped. "What business could you possibly have with this monster?"

My blood boiled at his unsympathetic words. The officer sighed. "Look, will you pipe down if I take you back to the station with us?"

I agreed and Jack and I scurried into the vehicle with Jack sitting in the middle and me on the right side.
