Chapter Seventeen
“We have to find him.”
“Phi, this is your fucking
house. You built it. You know how bloody massive it is once you’re inside. We need everyone.” She glared at Stacey,
“But thanks to someone…”
“He had a gun to my head,
Cali. And it was him who pressed the button, not me.”
“If you hadn’t gone
to the right fucking webpage!!”
“Would you rather we were
both dead?” Stacey snapped. Cali
didn’t respond, but wiped blood off her slit cheek.

Martin jumped back slightly as
the metal shutter over the door shot up suddenly. Olivia tried the door. It opened. Deryck shoved his way in and took off
towards the computer room. The others followed him. When they got there, he’d already dragged Stacey off to a corner,
and was asking her rapid whispered questions. After a moment he hugged her tightly. Kyle smirked slightly, they were quite
sweet really… “Where’s Bourne?” Koral asked.
“He took off.” It
was Matt who answered. He massaged his neck.
“Damn it!” Kyle muttered.
“You okay?” he asked Andrea.
“No, I’m dead.”
“We have to find him,”
Olivia interrupted.
“Yeah, we got that far,”
Cali agreed. “But how?”
“Split up.” Everyone
turned to stare at Brendan.
“What if you find him and
he puts a bullet in your head?” Olivia retorted.
“Go in pairs. There are fourteen of us,” he reminded them. “Me and Bob. Matt and Ghost. Kenz
and D. Kyle and Kor. Andy and Blank. Liv and M. And Phi and Ree.”
“Okay. But let’s
agree to send out a signal if we find him, so others can get there as fast as possible,” Martin ordered
“TG?” Raymond asked.
“Makes sense.”
“What’s TG?”
Matt asked.
“Thought gram,” Stacey
informed him. “Witch ability.”

Matt and Raymond crept round
the corner, towards the room where the electricity base was. There was a shot, and they jumped back. “Found him…”
Raymond murmured. He grunted as another shot sounded.
“What?”
“That may have just hit
me in the leg.” There was a metallic-sounding clang and he passed out. Matt stared at him, but not for long, as all
the lights went out.
