Chapter Five

Rocky:

I got out of the car at the unfamiliar house. "Why are we here?"

Riker rolled his eyes but didn't answer. Ross didn't show any signs of emotion. "Here, take the water." Ross handed me a glass of water. It was an actual glass from my mom's old house. He pulled out two others for him and Riker when we shut the door and began to walk.

An ear piercing screamed filled my ears when Riker looked at Ross with wide eyes. They took of running towards the door. "Remember me?!" I called after them. They didn't acknowledge me.

I slowly walked in their footsteps through the open door when I sat what they were doing and what they were looking at.

A dead body laid on the floor, a knife sticking from his stomach.

He had thousands of scars on each arm and he was unrecognizable.

"Ross call an ambulance!" Riker yelled. I still didn't know who this was.

"Already did!" He shouted back. Riker picked him up and carried him outside, when I placed my glass on the fireplace mantle.

We waited for around a minute before the ambulance got here. We all got in the back as the doctors preformed emergency surgery.

By the time we got there, we was stitched up and sent upstairs before he wakes.

I looked at Ross and Riker like they were crazy as they silently walked back. I followed. "Who was that?" I asked.

Ross sighed sadly. "An old friend. . ." He started to cry. He and Riker hugged for a little and cried together. "A very important old friend. . ."

Riker nodded at him and they both looked at me disappointingly. "He was our last hope for you, I guess you can go home and we'll tell Alexa we failed her."

My eyes widened. Wait, why would they fail Alexa? That's not possible unless. . . "Wait Alexa called Rydel?!"

Riker sent me a crazy eye, like I'd just asked him if the grass is green, but it's actually broccoli. "Yeah Alexa called, but she didn't call Rydel."

This puzzled me even more. "Then who did she call? Mom?"

"No,"

"Dad?"

"No,"

"Either of you?"

They looked at each other. "No. I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet, I mean, we just took him to th-" Riker put is hand over Ross' mouth to stop him from answering me.

"Let him figure it out on his own," Riker instructed. Ross nodded in agreement.

Ross called Alexa, but I couldn't hear their conversation. After that, we we're basically back at the strangers house. Riker and Ross walked in, Riker went down a hallway and Ross went after a camera on a tripod.

"Hey Ross!" Riker shouted from across the house.

"Yeah?! C'mere, I found his 'goodbye' video!" Riker came running out of the hallway.

"Cool, but I found something too. I found this blade covered in blood, and some songs he wrote. There's at least four we know of."

Ross looked at him and I sat down on the couch, kicking my legs up.

"What are they called?"

Riker flipped through the papers he found. "Uh, Heart Made Up On You and Stay With Me Look more recent, and Things Are Looking Up and Easy Love look really old. Like a year and a half old."

Ross grabbed the papers from his hand. "And look," Ross pointed to the top right corner or the page. "The dates which you got right, and dedication."

Riker sniffled. "Things Are Looking Up and Easy Love look sweet," He took the camera from Ross' hand.

I waited for them to finish reading the songs out loud before speaking. They were actually pretty good. "Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna hook up the video to the TV?"

Ross rolled his eyes and hooked it up. He hooked the computer up to the TV and the camera up to his TV.

Ross hit play and his face came on the tv. He was sitting where I sat now.

"Hi everyone. . ."
