The Hunter (SEQUEL TO Hunted)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2
We arrive back at headquarters in complete silence. Once we head inside I get dragged into an empty room. I'm about to scream when a hand is clasped over my mouth.
"Hero, relax." Tyler's voice rings out. I look down at the hand over my mouth and bite down. "OW!" He yelps, shaking his hand in the air. I smirk.
"Don't put your disgusting hand over my mouth." I state, spitting on the ground to get rid of the horrid taste.
"I just washed my hands!" He exclaims. I shrug.
"What is this about?" I place my hand on my hip.
"Well, this is something important." I raise my eyebrows. He starts to rub the back of his neck unconsciously. "So your parents so called accident... we found out the reason as to why they were the targets." I look up at him then back down at the floor. I think back to the folded paper.
"Can this wait a minute?" I say urgently, looking into his eyes. His face contorts into one reading confusion mixed with frustration.
"Why?" He prys. I think of an excuse.
"Because I have to go and call Kim about hormones." I state, trying to make him to get uncomfortable and let the matter drop. Fortunately, my prayers are answered.
"Fine." He squirms, going past me. "Meet at the court room when your done talking about... hormones." He mumbles when he passes me, quickening in his pace. I laugh and take out the piece of paper from my pocket and head to my office.
The office is actually soundproof so no one will be able to hear my call. Once I reach it, I sit down at my wide pure dark oak desk and kick up my feet. I look down at the phone number again, typing it into the phone on my desk. It rings a few times before someone picks up.
"Hello?" I hear a feminine voice ring through. I instinctively tense. "Hello? Anyone there?" The voice comes again, obviously annoyed.
"Is this Jane Doe?" My voice comes out shaky. There was silence on the opposite side along with shuffling.
"Who is this?" Her voice comes in a whisper but screams authority. I squirm in my seat.
"Hero. Hero Domou." I hear her curse over the line.
"How'd you get my number?" She asks urgently. I straighten in my seat.
"My friend hacked the FBI's files and found a lot on my background. Why?" I ask, spinning around in the chair with my legs crossed underneath me. I hear a door lock a bunch of times through the line. "What's going on?" I ask.
"If your little teenage friend can find me so can others." She responds, putting me on speaker.
"Who?" I stop spinning although the room doesn't.
"Hero, I'm afraid that I'm a value to another." She states. I roll my eyes.
"That didn't help." I state. She sighs.
"Considering you found my files I suppose you found the Undertakers." She says quietly.
"Yeah." I reply, urging her on. I hear her sigh again.
"Hero, I want you to listen carefully," She starts. "You can't trust everyone, not even your gang members." She pauses to apply effect. "Everyone or everything that is your weakness is just that; a weakness. You have to make sure there are none cause they will become your greatest enemy, and in the end, that is when it all falls apart." I take note of the words she's speaking.
"Jane?" I ask, my voice weak.
"Yes?" She replies, getting nervous.
"Why didn't you take me in?" I whisper. She sighs once more into the phone.
"I wanted to take you in Hero, I really did but, I just couldn't put your life anymore in danger. Your parents and brother were killed from the leaders and their son of the Undertakers gang. However, no one knows the son or the parents identities hence they haven't been found." She  states. I nod to myself.
"Jane, what would they want with me?" My curiosity gets the better of me.
"Your parents never told you?" She sounds surprised. I sit straighter than what seems humanly possible.
"Told me what." As I hear the words flow out her mouth and through the line, the line goes dead. With my mouth agape, I drop the phone and scream.
