Too Unique

Chapter 9: In The Midst

Arelis. She always visited Atlenta during spring break. She and her family visited a lake house near a cabin. If I could convice her to let me stay there, then I could continue step two of my plan. The only difficult part was that I ddidnt have a phone to text her. Lucky for me, I remembered her number and was able to sneak mom's phone from her room. As I explained the situation to her, she was agreeable to everything. She was only sad that I couldn't say bye to her. It was 413 st charleston. 2nd problem: how was I going to get there? I couldn't ask Marcus, because nobody can know where I was going. Suddenly, an idea came into mind.

"Marcus, can you drive me to the karate center just to chack the place out?" I asked. He smile, and nodded while getting the keys to his car. By the time we got there, nobody was in the joint. Except for like 2 people. He dropped me off and left. Great. I walked in, looking around. From a distance, I could see a familiar face. It was Cindy. She's 16, so she can probably drive me there. "Hey", I said as I approached her.

"You're messed up and need to sort out your family issue" she said. I completely forgot about her watching the thing with dad. "Your dad, whoever he was, he could've killed you. You're so lucky that he left to look for someone. I think his name was Frank."

"Sorry about that, but I really need a favor". Great, now I had something else to worry about.

"Which is?"

"Can you drive me home? My brother left without me" I said.

"Ok. What's the adress?"

"413 st charleston" I lied.

"Isn't that a lakehouse?" If she said yes, then I could stay there by myself and work on my plan.

"Yeah, my family is staying there for a while."

"Ok. Give me a second, I have to get my keys." YES!!! This was really working out. As we were driving, there was a little problem that threw me off. Was she going inside the house? If she did, she would find out that nobody was there, which would mess up everything. But thankfully, she didn't even bother. I got out the car and waved goodbye to her as she drove off. I entered the lakehouse and sat down on the nearest couch. Step 2 was complete, and now I had to work on step 3. Now, it was time for me to figure out who mom was talking to, and how I was going to get rid of Frank. This was a family issue, and I couldn't let anyone else interfere. Step 3: bye bye Frank.
