Derek wakes up, stroking his aching jaw. He gets up, looking around for the stranger. But he realises, he isn't at his house. He isn't even in a large room. He turns 360 degrees around looking at his surroundings, he finds out he is situated in some sort of padded cell.
He feels the smooth walls, they feel like cushions. Soft cosy cushions. He feels like falling asleep.
Suddenly, he realises it is no padded cell. The walls are made of..... PILLOW CASES!
He feels safe, and puffs in relief. All of a sudden the lights turn on. A man in a vest is stood at the wooden door. It is him, the stranger who was at Derek's house!
"Sorry about that thing earlier. I needed help. You are exactly who we need." Boldly says the black-haired stranger.
"What do you mean, who WE need? Are you crazy? There is no one around us." replies Derek in a cheeky manner.
"No. Not yet. We are the Rebellion against the Government." explains the stranger.
"Who even are you?" Derek asks the stranger.
The stranger turns his back, facing the wall depressingly.
"The world has lots of mysteries, Derek." says the man.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!?!?" screams Derek, confused but angered at the same time.
"Derek, I know everything about you. Since the day you were born." replies the mysterious man.
Derek gasps after a brief silence of thinking.
"Father...." Derek whispers to himself.
