———Dust's POV———

I felt the sun shining on my face as I slowly opened my eyes, waiting for my vision to become clear. I had a good rest compared to all the times we had to escape the police and we had to stay in makeshift homes. Thank god Error's dad was pretty rich.

I yawned before pulling myself off the bed and out of the bedroom. Except the door knob wasn't moving.

"What the heck?"

I continued to turn the door knob to open the door but it wouldn't budge.

"Hey! Get me the fuck out of here!"

"Silence! You'll wake the boss up!" A voice was heard behind the door. I look through the keyhole to see a skeleton. I could see his magic power was red as his golden tooth stood out.

"Why are you keeping me in?"

"It was an order. The glitchy one and the neon skeleton somehow escaped. They don't want anymore people leaving," then I was absolutely confused. Why did Error and Fresh leave?

"What? Why?"

"I have no clue. But I did see three other skeletons actually breaking in to rescue them both. I noticed one had a weird ink stain on his cheek?"

"Ink? What the heck does he need Error for?" I already knew the answer to that. Couple weeks back we were talking about 'yin' and 'yang' and we explained how Error's opposite is Ink. But we also mentioned that you can be in a relationship with the opposite, which literally flipped Error off. Let's say it didn't end well.

"If you're planning on escaping, take me with you. I'm sick of the boss and I want to go back to my old life," he said as if he read my mind.

"What will you give us in return?" I asked amusedly.

"I know a secret passage underneath the mansion. I highly doubt the boss knows so we will be safe on getting out,"

"Cool. I guess that's a deal. By the way, what's your name?" I asked curiously.

"You can call me Fell,"

———Cross's POV———

We arrived at Geno's house, who kindly offered us to stay for the night. Thankfully there were enough rooms for each of us.

"Yeah...about that. I'm leaving," Error said out in the blue.

"What why?" Ink asked.

"You guys are police officers. This place will make me uncomfortable. I'm staying somewhere else," he replied.

"Hah. If you get kidnapped again, we're not saving your ass," I said.

"Yeah whatever transfer,"

"It's Cross,"

"Ok Nightmare's boyfriend,"

"Shut the fuck up and leave!" I said angrily.

"Jeez control your anger man. See ya later Fresh,"

"Bye Error brah,"

And from that moment, he left the house. It was silent for a moment before Fresh spoke up.

"Hey I'm going back to my rad house down da road. It's better to sleep in ya own bed," Fresh said.

"That's fine. I'll see you around Fresh," Geno said as he opened the front door. Fresh waved as he walked off.

"Soo, you have spare clothes?" Ink asked Geno.

"Yeah. Check in the closet on the third room. There should be some spare clothes for you and Cross,"

Ding Dong

"What was that?" Ink asked hastily.

"Thats's a doorbell Ink," Geno said as he walked his way over to the door. He slowly opened the locks on the door. I guess he's really into security?

"Hi sweetie!" a woman's voice was heard behind the door.

"Mom?! I thought you were going to send me the airport and time?" Geno asked confusedly.

"Aw but I don't need to give you any hassle while you're busy at work!" she chirped as she entered the house. "Oh! Hello! I guess you're Geno's friends?" she asked with a kind tone in her voice.

"Yup! My name's Ink Comyet and I'm the head of the police department of New York!" Ink said cheerfully.

"I'm Cross X-, my name's Cross and I'm a transfer police from Australia," I said hesitantly, not wanting to say my surname.

"Hm. Bad relationship with your father?" She asked me.

"Yeah. Not much to say..."

"It's alright. There are people in this world who doesn't know the meaning of love. Maybe you just need to talk with him," she suggested. I thought to myself in silence before giving a small nod. Guess that's on my checklist now.

"So Mom? You'll sleep on my bed, I'll sleep on the couch while you two pick whichever room you like," Geno said.

"Dude. I'll take the couch. This is your home anyways," Ink offered.

"Nah. It's fine. I have insomnia so it won't be any use for me to have a bed," Geno kindly declined the offer.

It was getting late and I went up to one of the rooms. Changing into the spare clothes that were there, I got into the bed and went into a long slumber.

———Geno's POV———

After Ink and Cross went to their respective rooms, my mom came up to me.

"Hey sweetie.."

"Yeah?"

"Who..who was the person that left your house before I came?" She asked.

"Oh that was Fresh. A good friend of mine's," I replied.

"Ah. I forgot what I was going to tell you," she said to herself.

"That's fine. You can tell me tomorrow once you've remembered," I said calmly. I helped her back to her room as I laid myself on the couch and wondered to myself.

———Father's POV———

So that's the secret she hid from me!

Part of my emotions feel relieved while the other one was angry. How could she have not told me about it? I had every right to know what goes in her life.

I sighed as I stormed off back to my office as I made some alterations to my plan.

The ultimate plan to get rid of the government. They've been in control too long to count, making stupid laws and rules. Once I've set this mission, there's no going back. There's either the chance that I'll fail or take over the government.

This plan will work.

If ANYONE gets in my way....

I'll make sure they get the pain they deserve...
