        "Be careful! Don't point that at me!" Chase was sitting on the couch across from me, with a frightened look on his face. I wouldn't shoot him. 

Maybe.

"The safety is on!" I check the gun to make sure that the safety was on. It wasn't. 


I lay the gun down beside me, facing it in the other direction. Chase relaxes a bit and sits back, looking at me. 

"Don't you have something to tell me?" I ask, irritated.

"I do."

"Carry on."

"Well.." Chase pauses. "Like I have told you. Zack and I are here to protect you. Oh, and Zayn. Plus a few more people, that I am sure you will meet later."

I blow hot air out and scoot back into the chair. There's more people involved in this? 

"Okay. So what does this have to do with me?"

"Well nothing really. You're a friend of Julia's. A close friend. Which means you're close to a target in the enimie's eyes. Any one close to Julia is a target. So therefore, you are a target."

"Why is Julia a target in the first place?" 

"She dated max for a while and after she had enough, she broke up with him. He became abusive after that and Julia's brother found out."

"Denis?"

"Yes. Denis." Chase shook his head.

"Did max kill Denis?"

Chase sighed and shook his head. "I believe so. We all suspect it. No one had ever proved him guilty of doing it though. Witnesses described that killer as Max. Every single time he is accused of any crime he's found not guilty. We never know why."

Chase sits back.

"Max and his people have their ways." I sit silent for a while and think.

"Well there's an insider."

"An insider?" Chase holds a puzzled expression on his face.

"Think about it." After about a minute of silence Chase stood up. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. 

I sat back and looked at him. Whoever he was talking to was pretty upset. I heard yellling on th other line. After Chase had spoken to whoever was on the phone with him, was silent. I decided to get up and lock the doors and close all of the curtains. After what he has told me I feel as if there's people watching us. Like someone is listening to every single word we're saying, and watching every little action we do. I get more paranoid as Chase starts to look around the room.  I stand beside Chase and I try to listen to the conversation. Chase hangs up and looks down at his phone and starts to text someone.

"Well?" He looks down at me. 

"There is an insider."

"Well I kinda figured that." Right now probably shouldn't be the time and place to have an attitude. But he ruined my plans. I was actually looking forward to going out.

"There's more than 1 insider, actually.." Chase trails off.

"Just great." I mumble."Do you know who they are?"

Chase shakes his head no and bites his fingernails. He sits down and starts to bounce his leg up. 

"Leah. I need to go."

"Okay."

"You can't stay here."

"Why not?"

"It isn't safe."

"I have a gun."

"Yeah 1. 1 hand gun. And you're the only one here. You can't be alone. Those other people have so much more than you do. You can't protect yourself with just that." He nods to the handgun that is still sitting on the couch.

"I'll be okay by myself." I argue back. I do not want to be around any other people. I just want to be alone. I don't want another presence near me. 

"You won't. I need you to come with me. You cannot stay here."

"Can't someone just come here with me?" 

Chase shakes his head. "Pack your clothes and hurry up. The longer we're here the better chance Max and his people have."

"Chance? On what?"

"Getting you and possibly killing me."

I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter! If you have any ideas comment below and maybe i'll use them :) 

Okay. So over the summer i said that I would update every Tuesday, because i wouldn't be busy. I was actually in Oklahoma for a while, then Texas. I couldn't write in Texas, because my granddad thought that it would be a good idea to never get off of the only computer in the house, until 3:00 a.m. -_-

But it's Tuesday! And here's the update. I will be updating next week. Probably not Tuesday, but i will update next week. 

I WILL UPDATE WEEKLY. OKAY? OKAY.

I love you guys! Thank you for reading and don't forget to comment and vote! :)
