'He's looking right at my face. My actual. Fucking. Face.' I thought.

If I couldn't escape, it would probably spell the end for my brother and I. My heart decided that now was a good time to run a marathon, My brain started shutting down, and my blood was pumped full of adrenaline. I felt like a caged animal.

His grip slightly loosened and I shot my head up and it collided with his jaw. He let go of me and I darted over to the balcony door. I threw the door open and made a break for the fire escape.

I grabbed the last explosive in my duffel, (a gernade) pulled the pin, and threw it through the open balcony door. I didn't get the time to enjoy the explosion because I was already down the fire escape and running through the alley.

I ran as fast as my adrenaline would take me, down every short cut and back ally until I finally reached the house that my brother and I call home.

'It's about 5:00 in the afternoon so, Naruto's probably home from school by now'. I thought, walking through the unkept yard towards the house.

'Great. He'll have to see me like this.' I thought as I walked through the front door.

"I'm home! Just let me get into some clean clothes and I'll start making dinner. " I said.

Naruto glanced at me from his spot on the couch in front of the Tv. "Rough day at work?" He asked.

"Yeah, something like that." I replied, taking out my ponytail and walking off to my room.

Naruto knows that I'm involved with the wrong people. He knows better than to ask, or to go into the old work shed that I turned into my bomb construction area.

I feel bad for leaving him in the dark, but would him knowing make things better? Knowing that every time   my burner work phone chimes, that I'm about to go and risk my life? No. He shouldn't have to worry.

When I came back, I glanced over to the Tv screen and  saw a news report on the auto shop that I was in earlier today. Even though three explosives went off inside the building, the authorities were just trying to play it off as a robbery. 'Not even a single mention of my art!' I thought.

The order to blow up the transport never came.
In the end I was left lying on my bed feeling a mix of anxiety and anger.

"I'm such a fucking dumb ass!" I yelled.

'What if he recognized me from somewhere?' I thought, groaning and getting out of bed.

'He's never seen me before. I'm sure of it. But just in case, I can ask Naruto to stay home from school tomorrow, un.' I thought.

Anyhow, there was no way that I was spending tonight sober. It was roughly ten so, Naruto was probably asleep. I wrote a small note to him and stuck it on the fridge where I was sure he would see it before grabbing a shot glass and a bottle of vodka from the cupboard.
