Homecoming Hours (BOOK 4) {COMPLETED}

Not the Only Ones

We both walk out, I put the machete on my back and follow behind Jake. I watch his hand go up, I stop and we hear the groaning going away, he releases his hand and keeps walking. We then turn the corner and walk into a building that was still intact, he closes the door and locks it. I turn on the lights, seeing the windows closed by shutters.

I watch as Jake checks the area, he then pushes some table towards the window. I watch as he slowly makes my way.

(Y/N)- "Why are we here?" He starts to shove his machete in his case by his thigh.

(Jake)- "Turns out there are keys to the building, every building that is untouched has a key." He points over his shoulder, I watch as his hand is cover with gloves. With the finger tips cut out.

(Y/N)- "Multiple keys? How many?" I say while walking around the building looking for anything.

(Jake)- "Nine key's in total" I get wide eyed, I spot the key on the roof. I walk over and tap on his shoulder and point at it. "Well damn."

(Y/N)- "You're the first person I've seen so far" He then nods in agreement, "This is going to be a long night, it's only 11."

(Jake)- "Well, long nights are my thing." He reaches up with his machete and hit's it down, it lands in his hand. He walks over and wiggle the key in my face. "One down, eight more to go."

I smile, he shoves the key in his pocket and takes out his machete. We start to walk to the door, until a metal door slides out and locks it. We both go back-to-back looking around, we then see the lights go out. One stay's on, I adjust my eyes seeing a flashlight on the table. I walk over and grab it, I shine it over to Jake.

He pulls out one of his own, we both look around and see the window's are blocked as well. I motion him to this door, I open it and see stairs across the room. I start walking until I get burned on my ankle, I hiss in pain and step back.

I see multiple red lines appear, I look at the one I stepped it and look at it. 

(Y/N)- "It's a trap, we have to dodge them." I look at the Laser and step over it, I see others appear and slide towards us.

I hop to the left, seeing Jake do the same. I start running forward, I fling my body over two and land on my feet. I then slide under some, I stand up and see the stairs being blocked by multiple. I look over and see two metal tables on the window, I point at them and see Jake grab one. He passes me one and we both stand back-to-back once more. We slowly slide in the middle of the lasers, we watch as it almost burns through the metal. I start to see a thin circle appear, until we finally get into the stairs.

(Y/N)- "Whoever made these buildings are creative I must say." I hear Jake chuckle while we run up the steps.

(Jake)- "So how's you and Leon?" I go blank and stop in my tracks, I turn around to see him smirking.

(Y/N)- "How's you and Sherry?" His smirk goes away into a straight line, I start to smirk and continue going up the steps.

(Jake)- "I'm guessing we are even." Once he said that we arrive on the roof, I look over the side and see afire escape. "Let's go"

I watch as he carefully takes slow steps on the creaking metal, rustic stairs. He then slowly goes around the pole and steps off, I do the same and then watch the whole building start to catch fire. I feel Jake grab my arm and pull me back onto the street, we just see the building collapse.

Jake takes out the key's with a weird symbol on it, it looks like a weird animal with yellow stones on the eyes. He shakes the key in my face and puts it away. He then pulls out his phone, I notice it's a clear device from months ago. I watch his expression change from happy to sad, he grips his phone and puts it away, he then turns to me.

(Jake)- "We have to separate" I scoff and look around, then back to him.

(Y/N)- "That's not a good idea, we might be alone in this whole place and you wanna split up?" He takes out his device and shows me a message sent by a unanimous sender. "The person behind this wants us to, or we die?" He nods and shoves his device in his pocket. 

(Jake)- "Listen" He gets close to my face and points his finger at me, "Get a key, I have a feeling we aren't the only two agents here." After saying that he walks away, not turning back.

(Y/N)- "Leon...I hope you aren't in this mess."
