i woke up by my phone ringing through the whole house.
i went with my hand over my face and then took the phone.
"hm?" i aked yawning loudly.
"mattia where are you?" i heard my aunt's italian accent.
"i'm at home why? did something happen?" i asked, slowly standing up.
"look, the police called and-" she spoke
"what? why?" i panicked, grabbing a shirt and putting it on.
"they said they found it weird that you bought me a flight to italy the same day your uncle went- missing" she said slowly
"what did you say?" i tapped my foot loudly on the floor.
"i'm sorry mattia! i didn't know what to say please forgive me" she almost cried, my eyes went wide and i fastly closed my phone and ran downstairs.
the same second i heard loud knocks.
"fuck fuck fuck" i cursed under my breath.
"mattia polibio please open the door or we have to break inside" the officer spoke.
i opened my phone and texted sadie.
to: sades: 'police infront my door. use your brain or whatever you always do'
i closed my phone again and went with my hand through my hair.
"mister polibio!" anoter officer screamed.
"yes?" i said quietly.
i heard how they talked to each other, whispering things and then talking again.
"we need you to open the door" he said
i need time.
"officer gabe" i chuckled
"didn't forget me did you?" he spoke and i shook my head annoyed.
"how could i, dragging a 15 years old out of the house aggressively" i chuckled devishly.
"after killing your dad" he added
"what do you want now?" i changed the topic
"your uncle, where is he?" he asked, i closed my eyes to think better.
think like sadie.
what would sadie do?
"are you dragging me out of my house again if i open the door?" i asked ironically
"i won't" he answered
"how many people are there?"
"just two" he said
a lie.
fucking bad liar.
"i don't know where my uncle is, after my dad died we didn't talk" i changed the subject again
"okay, i believe you"
no you don't
'open the door' i said to myself
i opened the door, and around 15 police officers stood infront of me, placing their hand on their gun.
"hands up" another officer spoke
i did what they told me, closing my eyes and wishing it was the right time.
"please sadie" i whispered.
a second after that i heard a groan, opening my eyes i saw sadie with a baseball bat and a cop on the floor.
"DAMNNNNNN" sadie screamed happily
i smiled looking around and seeing alejandro, kairi and noelle fighting the other cops.
i went to gabe and punched him in the face.
"i wanted to do that for so long" i sighed, punching him again.
"hey mattia how are you?" i heard kairi scream while fighting like a baby against someone.
"i'm good, but i think we should run" i screamed back and kairi nodded exaggarated, and we all ran to the door.
we all started to just run towards sadies house, feeling a hand lightly brushing against mine, i looked at sadie smiling and taking her hand in mine, we ran more and more until we stood infront of her house.
"that adrenaline" alejandro smiled his famous smile while being out of breath.
"what did just happen?" noelle asked, her eyes wide.
"i don't know if we should bring you two into this all, everyone who knows is literally in danger" sadie sighed
"they're already in danger though, these police officers are still alive, all of them. they know us all now, it's not just us three it's all five of us now!" kairi sighed, his hand laying on noelle's waist.
"guys i'm really really really confused" alejandro sighed now
i started to explain everything from the start, alejandro and noelle listening carefully.
"damn that's tuff dude, i'm sorry" alejandro said when he heard about my mom.
"it's fine, we just need a plan now" i spoke looking immediately to sades.
"how about playing hide and seek" she smiled, looking at me with a look i knew way too good.
