Marine Crims

Chapter 2: Secrets Have Consequences

Ralph and Damien could feel their heart beating in their chests.

They were at Mark and Zach's house. Mark was, as already mentioned, one of the Marine Covers. Zach was also one of the Marine Covers. Along with Melvin, the boy they saved at the very start. Zach basically made the calls for the team, the planner. Mark basically was the muscle, the fighter. Melvin was basically the tech guy, the brains.

Zach:

Mark:

Marvin:

It was time, what they were looking for, preparing for.

It felt like everything was happening too fast.
How were they so sure that the Marine Covers would talk about a secret at that very moment?
Well, I guess they were about to find out.

Damien looked at Ralph. 'We are outside their place.' Damien whispered, trying to act excited but came across nervous.
After their short journey to get there, they really wished they could stretch the moment longer and make the walk an hour. Yes, they were nervous... anxious... scared.
It always feels unusual to be spying on someone... just the fear wave over your body, telling you to stop. But you don't.

Ralph raised one stern finger to his lips, and shushed him quietly.
Damien nodded anxiously.
The two lads thought brave thoughts, and put their ears against the door, softly.

They were in the upstairs area, in the hall. Right outside a bedroom, with noise spurring out.

'Dude, I cant believe this!' exclaimed a voice from the room, a hint shaky.
The voice was kind of deep, raw, pure and was low. Really soothing.
It was definitely Mark's voice.
'I know, man... this is big.' another voice replied.
It was a calm kind of voice, soft with a hint of deep, a few squeaks in there as well, very unique.
It was Zach, yes, the boys were certain.                                                    The boys somehow knew the lad's voices.                                             'Why didn't you tell me?' Mark groaned, sounding disappointed.

'I thought you would think I was a bad guy, only trouble...' Zach's voice trailed off.
'I understand I just- this is a lot to take in, but I've got your back, bro. I know you're not a bad guy.' Mark replied.
'Thank you, but you can't tell anyone, this will ruin my reputation.' Zach replied sternly.
'I wouldn't dream of it, and at the very least, if I considered going that low for some messed up reason, it would ruin my reputation too.' Denis assured.
'A hero having a criminal record... man, now that I say it out loud it sounds worse!!' Zach cried.
'How did you get one again?' Mark asked. 'You didn't really tell me in much detail, and you told me like a week ago.'
'I- I really don't want to t- talk about this right now...' Zach stuttered.
'Alright man, you should rest. It will hopefully take your mind off things.' Mark comforted.
There was a shuffling noise.
'Thanks for being so understanding, Mark.' Zach said appreciatively.

Ralph stared at Damien.
'That's all we needed to know!' Ralph exclaimed, forgetting to whisper.
Damien elbowed him aggressively.
'What the hell?! Zach, did you hear that?!' Mark cried in shock.

That was the boys queue, so Damien clutched the banister as he quickly paced down the stairs, as Ralph followed behind at an even faster pace
The moment was so rushed and intense, that everything felt so slow, like every five seconds was actually one second.
Damien's sweaty palms grasped the door handle, as Alex and Mark came bursting out of the room.
Damien pushed the back door open, as it was the first door to show up, and him and Ralph ran out to the back-garden until they had no escape from the yard according to the huge walls all around the house. They were cornered.
As they watched the Marine Covers run at them, everything was like slow motion. Their hearts dropped from their chest to the pit of their stomach-- well, it felt like it anway!

They watched them get closer and closer.

Zach paused and laughed quietly to himself.
He was glaring at Damien.

Damien had enough, and charged right at Zach. Zach got in a strange position, but he was definitely prepared. Oh, sorry, that was incorrect.

Damien kicked Zach in the hip, hard as he could. It was a brutal kick and Zach clutched his hip for a quick second before rising his fist.

Zach punched, his fist directed right to Damien's face, but Damien ducked just a second early and grabbed for Zach's legs.

Zach fell over as Damien pulled at his legs.

He hit the tarmac hard and bashed his head.

Ralph ran over to Damien, put a hand on his shoulder and nodded.

Damien backed away, to the wall. Zach was lying on the tarmac, unconscious, his head bleeding a little. The blood stained the tarmac.

Ralph ran to the other side of yard room.
Mark charged at him and tackled him.

But Ralph managed to head butt Mark.

Mark fell to the floor! Ralph's head ached really bad.

Ralph and Damien ran out of there as fast as possible.
That went quite well... in ways.
Their heads were spinning, resulting with them not thinking straight.

They got home at 10:45 a.m.
They entered Damien's house, hoping his parents wouldn't talk to them. They felt too weak for that.

They went to to the to their chill room, "play room," and sat in their normal positions. They remained silent and just went on the internet and watched some videos

Later on, they were absolutely wrecked.

It was a tiring day, even though they weren't at the Marine Cover's house too long, and they needed rest.

They would think straight in the morning. Y'know, feel normal.

Sorry this chapter was a bit shorter than the last one, but the first one had a lot to start with. I will try my best to make all the chapters a similiar length.
Thank you to everyone who decided to continue the story and come to this chapter, it means a lot, really.
Hope you enjoyed, until next chapter... BYE! :D
