Perfect Poison

CHAPTER 10 PT 2

"Brat,looks like we have some work to do."
My brother masked our faces with his thick creme scarf, the three off us slipping through the rolling hills of grass, light on our toes, quick as the wind.

"Remind me why we are covered in cotton when noone is around to recougnise us!" Alison hissed, all of us huddled together like a flock of lambs.
Ayato didn't respond to this.

" Serene Ask your agent if there are any available modelling jobs in china."
I glared at him harshly,perhaps hoping the longer my eyes were fixated on him, he would cower in fear.
" NO." I replied.

"Y E S SERENE, we need the money, We won't be able to rely on my tash of notes for long. Everything is being tracked. Our vehicles, phone calls, our messages-."
"Didn't stop you from calling the Zheng company earlier." I sighed.

"What does that have to do with anything?"
My brother retorted. I just stared at him blankly. "

"Are you honestly that thick? You think Uncle's men aren't already aware of where we're headed and ready to report our whereabouts back to first base?"

Ayato glared at me,hot red with annoyance. "WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THIS EARLIER?"

This my dumb brother everyone.We both share the same genepool. But not the same brain. "I've already called Rachel,she will meet us in the garage with her Lexus Lr. It should get us to the airport in no time."

"If the school board discovers i'm associated with your plan,well i could be kicked out!" Alison groaned. "I could almost never return here."

"Here's hoping." We grumbled. What is she even doing with us anyway?

The three of us finally reached the gangly barrier of bricks that divided the courtyards from the car parkade, bordering the outside perimeter of school grounds.

And boy! was it higher than i remembered.
"Are you sure we can climb this thing?" I asked curiously.

There was a brick sloping that barred the rest of us from the city below. It's collosal size would be problematic for some of us. "Hey Al." I sneered.

"Do you think you can climb this thing?."

"personally i'd be happier to go back to school and deal with those obnoxious kids than take a chance of life or death-" Alison scoffed, heels digging into the brown earth. Aww, was someone irritated?

"Let's do this shit sis." Ayato had already launched himself across the wall,feet briskly swept over the other side,his legs hanging dangerously overboard, tormenting his shadowed figure.
I grinned.
"LET'S DO THIS!" I pounced over towards a slightly unbalanced set of the wall,i could use it to pull up,my heels pinned themselves to the turf like glue to paper.

I grinned deviously to myself. The hard crumbling sides were perfect to crawl up. "SERENE YOUR BLEEDING! STOP!" Alison's voice screeched from behind. "Would u shut up!" I hissed angrily.
"Have you ever known of the term subtlety?" My legs dancing with the sharp protuding edges,proud scars were sure to be expected once i got to the top.

My brother smiled at me from where he sat, wind free in his hair, the blond strands overlapping his face. My legs swung over the last few bricks as i rose to the top. "That was fun!" I beamed at Ayato giggling. My brother appeared paper white,colour draining from every area. He looked like a sibling to the white clouds that slyly moved from behind him.

"I Haven't seen you smile like that in many many years." I slowly stopped laughing, glancing at him with concern, surely he was exaggerating. "Do." He looked lost while he spoke to me. "Do,you even remember?"

And thats when the past repeated it's actions. My mind shut down, as if time closed itself from everyone, and everything. My body sunk downwards and i knew then and there that wherever we must go, whatever had to be done, from whoever it was. It must be soon. "RACHEL!CATCH HER!"
