he made me do it

"WHAT'D I DO?"

-

"Who's there?!"

Caleb and Millie freeze, not knowing what to do. They give each other a glance before quickly getting against the wall, being as quiet as they possibly could.

"Answer me." The person says, their tone laced with fear yet they had the audacity to walk further towards the noise.

Their heart beats raced, it's as if they couldn't even make a noise. Breathing would give them away. Caleb squeezes his eyes shut, trying to remember the plan. It was like his ind went blank.

"Found you!" They yelled, a tall and sort of lanky guy jumped out from the corner, pointing a flashlight in their face, blinding them. Caleb's instant reaction was to scream, he let out the most girly scream he could.

Millie jumped but she didn't yell, her eyes were just wide with fear.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Joe asks, pointing the flashlight further in their faces. Caleb opens his eyes and his shoulders slouch, this person seemed so harmless in the moment.

He acted pretty genuine.

"Can you get this light out of our faces?" Millie asks harshly, covering her eyes with the back of her hand. She reached over to shove it out of the way but the person wouldn't budge.

"Can you-"

"Why?"

"Because! Now please-"

"No!"

"-Yes!"

"Now please, GET THE DAMN FLASHLIGHT OUT OF MY FACE!" Millie yelled, scaring the two boys. She grabbed the flashlight and threw it in the murky water, not caring.

Joe looked hurt as he placed a hand on his chest and looked back to see his flashlight under water, the light peeking through the cloudy liquid.

"I needed that." He says, his shoulders slouching and he just made a frown.

Millie rolled her eyes, pushing him out of the way.

This was the person they were supposed to catch and stop? Really?

Suddenly she snatched Caleb's walkie, turning it on, "Gaten, are you sure this is the guy? Is this some joke?" She asks, her eyelids narrowed as she spoke into the small walkie.

"Yeah, did something go wrong or-"

"No, it's fine just- just go help finn and nat." She says, dismissing gaten and just tossing the walkie back to Caleb with a glare.

"Excuse me? Just...who even are you kids?!" Joe yells, he sounded so confused in the moment. Millie gives Caleb the signal and he just nods, quickly taking out a pair of shiny handcuffs.

"Woah, woah! What are you- hey!" Joe continues complaining as Caleb grabs his back arms and quickly handcuffs him.

"Let's go." Is al Millie says with a heavy sigh before they walk the way they came, taking their time.

Meanwhile, things were not going as planned for Finn and Natalia.

"How much longer?! We did like...three right turns and I think we're just going on a circle!" Natalia yelled into the walkie, still holding on for dear life as they just raced around the streets casually with a mad man behind them.

"Gaten!" She yells again, trying to get his attention. There was a shuffling sound before he answered back, his voice strangely muffled.

"Mhm, yeah?" He asks, it sounded like he was eating. What the hell?
