Francis' POV

"HE"S WHAT?!!" Summer, Fel and I whisper-yell at Felix at the same time.

"Yeah. He's Frank's assistant. Look, I may be crazy to ask you guys this for the hundredth time but what's happening?" Felix tells us and asks the latter part in a really confused voice. Everyone is confused and worried at this point.

"Yeah guys. Did he do something to you or have you guys met before or something like that?" Isaac asks this time.

"We-we have to get out of here" I say and look at Felicity. Tears are rolling down her eyes as well now. Summer runs upto her side and strokes her arms to calm her down.

Obviously, we're going to panic. The one man that we were running away from this whole time is standing a few feet away from us. How is he here in Oakland? Is he here because of Felix's step-dad or does he know we're here? Does he live here? We're screwed.

"Fran. Fran" Summer says and brings me out of my trance.

"You guys need to get out of here" she reminds me. 

"OKay you guys gonna tell us whats wrong or what?" Jenny asks us in frustration. I look at Felicity questioningly. She looks at me and nods her head.

"We'll tell you. But first we need to get outta here. Fast" she says, looks at Felix, takes his hand in hers and starts running with the speed of a lightning bolt. 

"Come on guys" I say and start running behind them. I can hear everyone's feet following us.

Felicity's POV

We run and run and run until I've made sure that there's a proper distance between us and the school. Everyone was enjoying the formal and here they are, running in dresses and blazers because of me.

"Can we freaking stop for a second and talk about what the hell is going on here?" Jenny asks as she stops. And on cue we all stop. My eyes fall on a panting girl standing beside Jenny. Who is is she? Was she here the whole time? 

"Alright" I say once I catch my breath and then continue "but first you need to tell me how long has he been Frank's assistant? Did he join this year?" and I look at Fran for a second.

"I- I don't remember" Felix says as he tries to remember. Come on, Fel. Come on.

"Fel, look at me. Hey, look at me" I say as I take his face in my hands. He looks right at me.

"I need you to remember this. Please. For my sake" I say as I bore my eyes into his to make him realise the intensity of the situation. He releases a breath he was holding.

"Okay, well, um. I can't exactly remember when he started working for Frank but it definitely wasn't this year. Because even when Frank wasn't married to mom, he was her boss. And Theodore worked with mom many- a- times on different things. I don't know when he started but the first time I saw him working with mom was probably two-three years ago" he says racing his words. Two-three years?

I look at Fran.

"Two-three years?" he voices out my thoughts.

"Great. So the person we were hiding from all this time lives right where we are trying to hide" I say as I realise what Felix just said.

"But there's one good thing right now. I don't think he knows we're in this town right now or he wouldn't have waited to kill you Fel. You know that" Fran says.

"KILL YOU?" Felix yells.

"What the hell are you guys talking about? Why would my step-dad's assistant freaking kill you? And why are you guys hiding from him? Can you guys please explain before I faint from confusion?" Felix keeps yelling.
