CODE RED (Book 1)

Shocking News

I stared at the man sitting in front of me. Something told me this man was going to be a very important person and it wasn't because of the way he was dressed.

The women who had assisted me to the guidance office said she'd be taking her leave now and shut the door behind her.

I kept my eyes on the man sitting in front of me. His face was serious and looked as if he never joked around when it came to whatever work he did. He was intimidating, I knew that from the very second I had stepped into the small room.

I stuck my hands in my pockets, before asking, " So a strange man wants to see me, who are you?"

He blinked at me before sitting back in his chair and when he spoke his voice was some what deep that held assertiveness and also a serious edge to it just like his facial features were right now.

In my mind my brain described this man to be very smart. He looked like it.

"I think it would be best for you to sit for what I'm about to tell you." he said.

I looked to the left of me and sat down in a chair that wasn't close to him, a good enough distance for me to still pay attention to him and hear what he had to say, but I didn't know this guy and I felt that I should at least keep my distance.

He didn't mind me not sitting close to him in fact his face just stayed the same even as he began to speak.

"For the last past week I have known about you and have done my research on you and what had been happening in your house." He said calmly as if knowing my body was going to tense up at the words he had just said and he was right.

As soon as he said that I immediately went rigid, my body turned stiff and I clenched slightly at the arm wrest of my chair. My face stayed expressionless but inside I was completely caught off guard.

Was he saying what I think he was saying? He knows about what I had gone threw with my dad, but how did he know, who is he?

He intertwined his fingers and held them under his chin as his violate eyes stared into mine, unfaltering and unblinking for the longest of seconds. It was like he was looking into me and I felt my jaw muscles flex as I clenched my teeth together, he continued to speak.

"My name is Yogi and I am a detective slash a police officer, I've been told about you and all that you've been threw by a reliable source. Now tell me if I'm wrong I just need to check the information I have so far about you?"

I looked away from him, I had to, his eyes were way to intense. Alex's eyes were intense also but I could handle his unlike this man who was sitting in front of me, I knew that this guy seriously meant business. I looked back at him and nodded before looking away again, I settled for looking at his neck something that wasn't making my heart rate stutter in my chest for the next words that would come threw his mouth.

I didn't know why I was so nervous, but if this man- or Yogi was really an officer that knew what I had gone threw then he must have been here for some reason and not to just question me. I sensed that there was something else more important he had to say.

He stated things about me next that I honestly felt kind of exposed since most of what he said was in fact true. And lastly he stated.

I know that you're a junior that attends this school at the age of 17.

I gave him a cautious look before slowly answering, " Yeah."

It made since that he knew so much about me considering he was a police officer. I sighed and decided to ask a bold question.

I looked him strait in the eyes quickly just to get it over with, I opened my mouth to ask him the question but I abruptly stopped finding that my voice had caught in my throat. He gave me a look silently telling me not to speak.

I looked away from his eyes and slowly closed my mouth finding it over powering how his eyes could just command me like that.

"Gareki, I get that you're scared, I can see it in your eyes and by the way your body language is." he stated flatly causing me to gasp and my eyes to widen slightly.

I didn't know why I was acting so panicked all of a sudden but quickly I found myself standing up and staring at the clock before yelling out.

"Why are you here?!" My voice was breathy and on the edge of cracking.

" Calm down Gareki. . ."

"Don't tell me what to do, I interrupted. Why did you come here for me?" My voice was persistent.

"I came here to tell you something as a warning, but after I say this you have to promise me you won't overreact." He said calmly.

My lips pressed into a thin line and my hands hung at my sides clenching into fists." Just tell me."

And so he did, and when the words left past his lips the entire room grew cold and I found that my heart rate was beating quickly as adrenaline coursed threw my veins in panic. I shook my head slowly in disbelief as he kept talking about that man. Flashes went threw my mind of everything he had done to me. The pain of it all sent my body rigid with fear.

My face went pale and my eyes widened as my mouth hung open trembling , my body was shacking and I became scared out of my mind. I felt the hard floors beneath me as I fell my legs not being able to hold me up much longer and in the back of my mind I heard a blood curdling scream and I realized. . .it was me.

I was staring up into grey eyes with white specks into them as he had seconds before he ran into the room and was over me as was Yogi and a couple other people who heard me.

Alex was yelling at me and the fright in his eyes grew as he looked down at my terrified reaction, that scared me more. I brought my hands to my head and curled up into myself continuing to scream, hot tears making there way into my eyes as Alex shook my shoulder begging me to tell him what was wrong and for me to calm down before he had been pushed aside by security guards from the school who were ordered to take me away.

I hadn't had a panic attack in so long, I thought they had disappeared but now I knew that I was wrong.

I was scared by the words Yogi had said to me. He was out, my dad was out and he was coming to get me, I wasn't sure, but Yogi had assured me that policeman were still on the look out for him and last time he had been spotted was near the city some where my house was still a mile aways from so there was a chance he wasn't coming near me, but that didn't give me the reassurance I needed to know that he was behind bars and would never come close to me again. I wanted him found and locked up once more.

I hated the torture and the pain I had gone threw with that man, I was afraid of feeling that way again, the pain the scars and the bruises I didn't want to relive it, not now and definitely not ever.

I felt something sharp enter my arm just like it had last time, they were drugging me again.

Soon after I felt my body grow weak as the minutes passed, my eyes grew heavy and my voice lowered down until I couldn't scream any longer I felt my throat on fire as my screaming lasted for a full on 5 five minutes of me shouting, and then I was welcomed by darkness.
