"What?" Ashley shouted.

"I will make anything to do the best research. If you won't help me, I will forget you and will never meet you or talk to you again, because this is the first time I ask you for a favor and you will let me down," I said.

"Wait wait," Ashley took a deep breath, "I will help you, but I don't know how to break into the office, it's dangerous and difficult."

"We will find a way,  Ashley, I will never forget your help. Come in the morning for making a plan and for some fun," I said.

Ashley chuckled, "Ok, sweet dreams."

I smiled, "bye."

Aras rested her back on the chair, "I think he ate the bait."

~Adam's point of view.
~ I feel like a lump in my throat... my best friend betrayed me!
Why? We were like brothers. When did he start to betray me? Or he is a spy from the beginning.
When we were children we used to run behind the butterflies and hunt them, take a basket full of toast and strawberry jam to eat them on the garden and draw with the chalk on the street.
When we grew up in the high school we were studying together, going to school together, and even dreaming together.  All the memories popped up in my head,
I remember that night,

~lying on the field and staring at the sky, Joseph and I... we were 18 years old,

"Tell me what do you feel, bro," Joseph said.

"Do you see those two stars up there?"

"The sky is full of stars you psycho," Joseph said laughing.

"Those attached two." I signalized them.

"Mmmm, what about them?" Joseph asked.

"Do you think they will split? Or will stay attached forever?"

"Of course they will split, more clearly, they will explode. nothing stays forever!" Joseph said.

"Even us?"

Joseph turned to Adam and hugged him tightly,"Forever ends, but we have no end,"
.........

~I think like he said nothing stays forever, even us. He betrayed me now. I don't know why, but he is helping my biggest enemy, my uncle Aaron, nobody knows he is my enemy even Joseph and dad until I know the complete truth about my sister.

In the morning, Mert was in the garden and Ashley stepped in waving to him. Then, she sat down next to Mert on the bench,

"What was your feeling when that psycho told you to break into your principal's office?" Mert said.

"Don't remind me" Ashely took a deep breath, "I was going to have a heart attack."

Mert straightened and looked at Ashley, "Can I ask you a question and If you trust me and the girls you will answer."

"Look, I don't know you deeply, but I really trust you... I don't have friends and my only friend died when we were in 7th grade, I really love you guys and trust you and I don't know why," Ashley smiled reassuring, "you can ask me whatever you want."

"I'm sorry for your friend," Mert said.

Silence.

Mert coughed, "the girls told me when you were in Snow's room and she asked you why you came to Falerno you said to forget, what do you want to forget?" He started to laugh and said, "Did the Joker tried to kill you or something and you came here to Batman to feel safe and forget?"
