The Truth

The Filthy Tuxedo

 Hope y'all enjoy my new chapter. Stuart Gibbs owns these characters and I do not. I do, however, own this plot, so back off. Kidding, I don't care if you want to make your own fiction. If so comment down below your work name and if I need to read SSGS beforehand. I can help you, and perhaps you can help me out as well. Anyways basketball games are coming up and I'm not in the mooooooood. Enjoy!

"The organization that has Ben isn't anything that we know of." He said helping himself to some rabbit. I swatted his hand away and ate what he had in his hand. Scarfing down food faster than light.

"Ben." I eased out groaning forgetting about him altogether.

"I know, a sensitive subject." He responded looking annoyed and a little jealous of my fellow classmate. That almost made me smile, but instead I took a bite of a berry. I cringed at the sourness and Joshua smiled slightly. I helped myself to another berry and made sure not to make a face.

"SPYDER can team up with you. Academy of Espionage is no longer." Joshua offered pulling out a phone. I shifted and grimaced in pain my stomach burning.

"My father and grandfather." I sighed holding my head.

"We have no idea where they are." He responded his green eyes narrowing. Guilt flushed through me remembering telling Samuel his location. I was acting, lying, but some of it was true. He was on a mission...

"I can even get that fixed up." He responded pointing to my stomach. I looked down too and regretted it. Blood seeped through the attempted bandage I tried to create.

"No." I grunted in return trying to stand "I have to get Ben."

"That was my next agreement, getting him." He grumbled uncrossing his arms. Every time Ben got mentioned he suddenly got annoyed. In fact it's kind of funny.

"You don't want to get him, do you?" I asked blank faced my voice showing no emotion.

"No, no I don't. The only way I'd get you to come is with him." He commented then he stood up. Extending his hand and asking.

"Deal?" He asked and I bit my tongue and nodded.

"Good." He responded

I just teamed up with our enemies, and I hope it turns out well. Besides I think it would be kind of funny seeing Joshua and Ben compete to be the alpha dog. Unfortunately the top dog is me, besides I'm taller than them anyway. Being taller is truly superior.

I woke up with a terrible pain in my stomach. I squirmed and cried out in pain. Someone held my hand and I calmed knowing it's Ben. Curious I opened my eyes and Joshua's hand is clasped in mine.

I yanked it away and Joshua growled "Hold still Erica."

I whimpered trying my hardest to stay still. I've never felt pain like this, and it hurt. Then as suddenly as it started it left, leaving a dull throb. I sighed and cringed at the pain that followed.

"Erica!" A familiar voice called lifting my head slightly I saw Murray. He wore an olive shirt stained with cheese dust, and shorts that were a little baggy. His hair tousled and messy, and his stomach larger than usual.

"Miss me?" He asked gesturing his dirty hands out.

I snorted and grumbled "No."

His smile flickered and he turned, walking away. Looking up at Joshua I asked "You have everyone here?" He smiled and whispered "Just my friends."

"Murray's your friend?" I asked dumbfounded how a fat kid, could be friends with Joshua. He nodded his head then looked down at me again.

"Ben will be hard to get." He licked his lips and held a remote for my bed. Tossing it to me I caught it and moved my bed up.

"He will be, well... you know what I mean." Joshua said biting his lip and sitting down in a chair next to my bed. I looked around, a typically doctor like atmosphere. A bed, soft blue walls and counter tops with medical stuff. A tv mounted at the wall and a fuzzy grey rug. Almost cozy, almost.

I glared and asked "What do you mean?" My breathing became heavier.

"You left him with the enemy. Their going to take their anger on him." He responded looking down at his feet. Looking almost guilty.

I sat, it didn't sink in yet. Then it all clicked, Ben would be tortured for what I've done.

"What have I done." I whispered looking at the ceiling. Hands covering my face.

Ben

"Turning off the tuner." Some called then pain from the bullet wounds flooded my system. I whimpered in pain and they noticed.

"Deal with it!" Mike growled "This isn't going to be the worst, this is just the beginning." He sneered spitting in my face. I growled anger engulfing me but Mike just chuckled. Nearing his face closer to mine.

"Your ours." He growled his blue eyes shimmering and I lunged forward biting his nose. He yelped and jumped back. I strained under the bands restricting me.

"All those parties? Hanging out together? That was all a lie?" I asked him then I turned towards Jawa. Anything they do to me won't compare to this news. Everything you've done for me? All of it's a lie?" My voice broke and I fought my tears.

Jawa and Mike looked at each other and simply nodded their heads. Then Mike injected me with a liquid, knocking me out cold.

"Benjamin!" A voice called I looked over my body numb. I shook the feeling off and cracked open my eyes.

  Alexander sat huddled in the corner of the cell. Tear stains on his face he stumbled up. Launching himself at me, and I hugged him fiercely. His face wet, making my neck cold.

I shivered and whispered "Why are you here?"

He pushed himself away and looked down at his now filthy tuxedo.

"They don't trust me! I mean I don't know why, I'm very good at keeping secrets. Like how Chip still uses a nightlight. The principal has a crush on Mrs. Dodds. And my daughter really-." He sputtered out going on and on.

"Okay! Alexander enough." I shouted covering my ears. I looked back up at him his face full of hurt "But Mrs. Dodds?" I asked wrinkling my nose. "She's so, reptilian. Old too."

Alexander stifled a smile and I did too. I leaned against the cold wall. And my hand landed in something wet. I yanked it away and groaned "Alexander is this what I think it is?"

He looked at me horror filling his eyes "What? What?" He asked and I held back a laugh "Piss."

"Oh. Oh, yeah. I really, like really had to go. Now, I would watch out because I went number two around there too and I really..."

I spaced off after that and wondered how terrible this is going to go with Alexander.

"Now, you could be sitting in it." He noted and I yanked myself off the floor. Alexander laughed, and I joined him. It felt good to laugh, like we're rebelling in some sort of way.
