CH.33 "to keep from giving up"

Maskquette's POV

After a long drive we finally slowed down, reaching our destination which I assumed was the 'locale' they were talking about which was a long but dark alleyway fit between two buildings with enough room for a car or two. I immediately began to observe the alleyway seeing there was a couple dumpsters side by side with trash overflowing from them, graffiti was caked on the sides of the buildings with each of their own signatures- some of them familiar but I won't go too in depth about who's signatures they were, and there was some papers scattered on the concrete ground and that was really it.

This place wasn't really special or anything, it was just another space between two building with some trash and graffiti. That was it. I looked between (Y/n), BEN, and that other male Carlos who were all still in their seats silently. BEN looked as if he was dozing off, (Y/n) pulled the keys out of the ignition and took a deep breath before she turned to look at Carlos who'd been sitting next to me. "Do you want us to come with, too?" She asked him, biting her lip. I looked at Carlos quietly to see what his response was. He shrugged, "If you guys want to, I mean I guess, I don't give a fuck."

(Y/n) flung herself back and unbuckled herself. "Alright," she exclaimed which caught the weak boys in the seat next to hers attention as he looked over at her with an eyebrow raised. "I'm gonna go with him just in case something bad happens but if you guys want to come with you definitely can." she finished and then proceeded to get out of the car along with Carlos who just patted BEN on the shoulder and left.

I twitched, fiddling with my hands- or I mean fiddling with whatever was left of my hand. I was about to open my mouth but I couldn't because BEN spoke first as he turned to the backseat, "You gonna stay or go?" I shrugged before asking the same question to him. He paused briefly before shaking his head 'no'. "W-why not?" I asked putting my hands to my side and twitching. "My whole body hurts and I don't think I can even stand straight right about now." BEN answered and turned his head back to look out the window, probably examining the rest of our surrounding.

I slumped back in my seat and did the same, but as soon as I thought about where I was I started thinking that maybe slenderman was looking for me and would soon need my assistance with whatever. My thoughts were soon interrupted by BEN again. "So you're a proxy?" BEN asked casually, his eyes still looking out the window. "Something like that" I replied. BEN only nodded and looked in front of him out of the windshield to see Carlos and (Y/n) walking back and speaking to each other with worried expressions on their faces.

BEN seemed to have noticed that too and when they got back in the vehicle he asked what was up. Carlos looked up him and sighed, "They weren't there, but there was an envelope tucked in between a couple of bricks that I thought was someones like drugs or something but (Y/n) said 'I wanna be sure' and she picked it up and it said 'Carlos' on the back of it in a handwriting I never seen before." He explained as he took an envelope out of his back pocket and held it up for everyone to see.

"You haven't r-read it?" I asked as I twitched, his eyes trailed over to me and he shook his head. "I wanted to read it in here," he replied and buckled himself in, then started fanning himself with the envelope. (Y/n) rolled her eyes at him and swiped the envelope from his hand.

(Y/n) started opening up the envelope while both BEN and Carlos watched. She pulled out a piece of paper with a picture that was clipped to it of a red-headed female and a red-headed male, the girl was smiling and the boy was looking away from the camera while weakly trying to cover his face. Carlos took the photograph from (Y/n) as she read silently. He stayed quiet for a minute before he shook his head and smiled. "God, I miss her." Carlos said to himself as he set the photo on (Y/n)'s lap who looked up from the piece of paper and nodded at him.
