Lance was terrified when he saw his picture on the news. The reporter was talking about how he might have killed himself or is going somewhere to kill himself. He couldn't let his face be seen. He was a wanted 12 year old! Not for crimes but for running away. As he walked behind buildings, he saw something he hated. "Keith!" He screamed. He ran over to the boy's body. It lay limp on the ground. He had to do something. But he'd be turned in. Keith was in a pool of blood, his body lay in unhumanly positions. There was a peice of paper taped to his chest. It read:

Dear Person Reading This Note,
Yes I jumped from the building. I killed myself. No worries. Check my body for bruises. You can thank Lotor for them. He raped me. I have killed myself to escape him. I'm sorry to my friends and family. Lotor never loved me, so why would I appoligize to him? Thank you.

Keith Kogane.

Lance's heart shattered at the note. He had to tell someone! But he would be turned in. He sighed as he stood up. "Somebody! Call an ambulance!" He screamed out.  He heard someone coming. He knew he had to stay. If he ran, he'd be questioned. A woman ran over to him and dialed 911. "911, where's your emergency?" "Um... behind the Target in (insert place here cuz I'm lazy)." "Do you need the police?" "No. We need an ambulance!" "Okay. Paramedics are on their way." The woman shook as she stared at the dead body. She looked to Lance who had tear stains on his cheeks. "You're the boy from the news!" She spoke. She grabbed his arm like he would run. He didn't fight her. "We need police too. I found the missing boy." She spoke into the phone. The operator assured her that an officer would come. Soon the officer and ambulance showed up. Lance was taken to the police station and questioned. His family was happy he was safe and found. "Why did you write that horrible suicide not?!" His father yelled at him. "I didn't write it! Well I did, but I was forced to! They made me write it and put the gun with it!" He yelled back. "Who?" His mother asked. "Mark and Jack."(if you know what I'm talking about, I salute u!). His mother nodded. He was told Keith was officially dead and that his funeral was Wednesday.
