The Odd Ace Out

Chapter 15- Betrayal

I had no idea what she was planning but I have a bad feeling about it. "So Marcus what are you up to?" She asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I'm gonna go to the garage and work on a project." I say making my way to the garage.

The garage was dimly light by a single light bulb but it was just enough light to see. I had just enough light to work on the desk. Soon I'm expecting a delivery of something I need for my project, Damian said he'd pick it up for me.

A car honked just outside the garage, I opened the slide door. Damian's car sat in front of the garage and out walked Damian. The package was resting in Damian's hand, he held out the package to me. "What do you need this for any ways?  Are you planning on bombing someone's house?" He asked while walking into the dark garage.

I wave him over to the desk.

I point out the blueprints of the school on my table. He nods as if he understands he opening his mouth and mutters "I have no idea what you mean by this."

I place my hands on his shoulders,"It means there will be no more bad people in our school. Think about it no more Aces, no more jocks, and no more people to turn into them. We're doing the world a favor!" I exclaim excitedly.

I point to different places on the blueprints and mark them. "There,there,there, and there. They are the weak points, when they go the entire building is one huge weak point."

We both smile. This is the best idea I've had yet. The pep rally is tomorrow and once everyone is in the whole thing will fall into place.

_Jessica's POV_

Marcus has been in the garage for awhile, I wonder what he's doing. He makes me worried, after the whole thing with Dean he has been acting strange. I hope what I'm doing will help him, but it might make him mad at me but he needs the help. It fell quiet for a few minutes then I hear Marcus yell. I couldn't make out what he said but I'm sure at this point it can't be serious.

I take a deep breath and begin to think. "Those people will help him. He really needs it, he's becoming a danger to himself, me, and others. Marcus will probably hate me after this but the guards said they will keep him."

_Marcus' POV_

-morning-

I stretch as I drag myself out of bed. Today my plan will be fulfilled, I smirk. First I'll have breakfast with Jessica. Then ask her to stay home, she should accept. Next I take the "project" to the school and set up. Finally everything ends and there's no more problems. I'm doing the world a favor, I'm making the world better for people who are decent.

It's currently 9:43 AM, I'm skipping class to set up. The teacher fell for it,"I can't believe he fell for that stupid excuse." I giggle.

I hear the sound of shoes hitting the floor getting closer. I ignore it hoping it isn't heading for me. The steps stop close and I hear someone breathing heavily. "I-Is that a bomb? Marcus?" the person says under breath.

"Ooooohhh~" I hoot. "We have a smart one."

I turned around to face the clearly frightened girl. Her red hair covered one of her widely opened eyes. She's clearly afraid. "You're correct.  But you know too much." I approach her. "Care to join me? I'd like to show you something."

I smile sinisterly. She started towards the gym door but it was no use I grabbed her by the wrist. I practically dragged her into the storage closet. She quivered in fear, I love it when they do that. My hands moved to her neck then applied pressure. She squirmed under my grasp trying to break free. "Now I can't remember your name. I hate to not know my victim's name. You see you're not the first life I've taken, neither was Dean. But he was the most fun to take away, he actually put up a fight." I say with an ear to ear grin that quickly turned to a frown. "The one's like you are no fun. Oh! I just remembered your name. It was Katrina, aw that's too bad you're only a freshman."

The closet door slammed open, my head on instinct turn to the light that was beaming in from the gym. I was Jessica enter the room and two men stayed behind at the door. "Marcus. Drop the girl." Jessica stated sturnly.

I released the girl and she dropped onto the floor panting. "What!?" I yell.

Jessica's eyes widened. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell." I try to sound innocent.

The men that were standing at the door were stocky and tall, aleast taller than me. The only difference I can tell them apart by is that one has glasses and one doesn't. I wrapped my arms around Jessica "She's mine. Don't get any ideas." I growl.

One of the men look at the other and nod. They begin to walk towards me, I back away. Their faces are expressionless as one reaches for something in their pocket. Jessica just stands there looking, not doing anything about them. "Hey! Get away from me!" I bark into their faces.

The biggest one on the right aims something at me, it looks like a gun. "Hey, I  didn't say to shoot me. Dude, chill!"

He shot the taser and the pins latch themselves onto my body. I fall to the floor as my electricity causes my body to twitch. One of the men picks me up and tries to cover my mouth, out of instinct I bite one of his fingers. He grunts then pulls out a mask and slips it over my mouth.  The one with glasses takes my arms and holds them behind my back as the other cuffs me. "What are you doing to me!? I demand to know what you're doing! Where are you taking me!?" I continue to scream.

"Calm it nutsy!" The one without glasses yells into my ear.

"What did you call me!?"

One of them that I couldn't see stuck a needle into my arm, I could feel whatever they injected run through me. Then I blacked out.

I woke up in a cold room. I have no clue where I am or why I'm here. I sit up and look around. The room is small and the walls are padded. Almost everything is padded except the door. "Is anyone there?" I ask.

There's no response. I look down at my body, I' wearing a beige jump suit with a number that reads "#018213" that triggered something in my mind. Am I in an asylum? Did Jessica set this up? SHE BETRAYED ME!!!
