The Dream (part 26)

The last time we saw Andy was in the emergency room when fell into a
deep, peaceful sleep. ( I have to do this blog in Andy’s perspective
because it’s his dream.)
I woke up and was looking at fire. I could hear nothing but screaming
and the fire engines. I wanted to go help the people, but I couldn’t
move. Suddenly, I heard Jordan and Jake’s voices, calling for help and
then I saw them trying to get out. Jordan safely got out and tried to
help Jake, but guys in all black, like the one I saw on the pe field
and my house, pulled Jordan away from Jake and took her away in a van.
They took Jake too. The men in black threw Jake and Jordan into the
van. Finally this guy that probably was David pulled up in a limo and
was talking with the men in black.
They seem to be exchanging information. I thought.
Finally, the van pulled away and Jake and Jordan were screaming my
name and their parent’s names. That was enough to give me tears. I
looked back over at the fire and saw their parents burn as well as
their houses.
“Stop… stop… STOP!!!” I screamed and everyone looked…

I woke up in the emergency room with all the doctors and the nurses above me.
“Are you okay, Andy? You started screaming in the middle of the night
‘stop’ and ‘no’. You started breaking out into a sweat hot and cold
and your heart rate and blood temperature rose. Maybe you should stay
a little while longer.” Told the nurse.
“I’m sorry to worry you, but it was just a nightmare. Thank you for
worrying about me.” I told them reassuringly.
“Ummm, okay. Please don’t hesitate to tell us what is wrong or if you
need anything.” The other nurse told me.
After they left, I thought I need to find Jordan and Jake as fast as
possible. I also need to go back to school. I have some business left
I need to do.
With that, Andy once again drifted into happy memories about everyone
he loves and cares for.

David (part 25)

The last time we saw Andy, he was losing his mind. This David dude was also in the emergency room with Andy. (This is in the 3rd person perspective the the one I normally use) 
Andy felt like he was missing something. Like some stories were told while he was unconscious. He decided to get the story.
"Hey, David? Could you please get out? It's NOT like I DON'T like you being here, but I miss MY parents." Andy told him with a slight hint of scorn in his voice.
"Okay, I will leave. My mom is calling me anyways." David replied while he was glaring at me and picked up his phone.

After David left...
"Andy, what was that about? Usually you are much nicer to friends." asked Andy's mom in shock to his behavior.
"Oh, It's just a thing we do. Anyways, I don't remember what happened, what did David tell you?" asked Andy.
"Well, you called us that you were bringing a new friend home today along with Jordan and Jake. Then David told me that Jordan called us after you got hit with a baseball. He also said that they had to leave because their mom's soon called afterwards that they had to go home ASAP. David called the hospital and took you away just as we got there. David greeted himself and told us what we are telling you right now." told Andy's mom.
"Was he on the phone when you got there?" asked Andy, hoping he wan't sound untrustworthy of his new "friend".
"Actually, he was. His face was grim, but we couldn't make out what he was saying or who he was talking to, not like we were trying to eaves-drop." replied his mom with a shrug.
I'm sorry mom, dad. thought Andy as he figured out his next move.
"OW!!! OWWWWW! Oww..." Andy screamed, faking a headache.
"Andy! Are you alright? Do you need the nurse or the doctor?" asked his mom in a frantic voice.
"No... I think I just need sleep. I'll hopefully be home tomorrow. You guys are probably tired too. You should go home and get some rest. I love you." Andy said in a weak. but loving tone.
"A-a-alright. Please get better. We love you too." replied his mom, still trembling from the sudden "headache".
Andy closed his eyes while the door close.
Ahh, Jordan, Jake, I hope you're alright... was Andy's last thought before drifting into a peaceful sleep.

Boarding school(part 24)

The last time we saw Andy, he blacked out. (This blog will be in the view of Andy. It will make more sense).
"Ughh, my head hurts" I complained, rubbing my head.
I woke up in an unfamiliar place, with my mom and dad around me.
Oh, I'm in the hospital. I thought to myself.
"Are you okay? We heard all about it from your friend, David. He's so nice." said my mom sweetly, while looking at a boy, about my age with jet black hair and in a dark blue t-shirt and some tan trousers.
"Are you okay, Andy? Did the baseball hit you to hard?" asked the boy, I've never seen him in my life.
"Baseball? What baseball?" I asked, really confused.
"Oh dear! I think he lost his memory!" weeped my mom, "Do you remember me? And him?" she said pointing to my dad.
"Mom and Dad. I'm okay, I just don't remember what happened. The last thing I remember was Jake and Jor..." I trailed off, remembering what happened.
Jake and Jordan's house. The sign.
"Jake and Jordan? Sweetie, they left. Their mom's left a message to tell you that they left for boarding school." explained mom.
"Bo-Boa-BOARDING SCHOOL?!" I screamed.
I think I'm losing my mind.

Andy (part 23)

The last time we saw Andy, he was getting worried about his friends and decided to wait until the end of the day...

It was the last period of the day, which was Math.
This is so weird! Jordan and Jake haven't come back and left no trace of leaving. I wondered what happened. thought Andy.

"... And that concludes our lesson. Your homework will be pages 201, numbers 15 and 16, page 203 numbers 3 and 4, and 204 numbers 5 and 6. Please pack up. The bell rings in 2 minutes."

I should go and visit them, to make sure they are okay. thought Andy.

At Jordan's house...

"WHAT. THE. WHAT. HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?!" screamed Andy.
What Andy saw was not Jordan's house, but ashes. There was no people, there was no backyard, there  was nothing. Andy was so mortified, that he dropped to his knees and started to cry, but only for a few minutes, before he remembered about Jake.
I have to get there quick! Maybe his isn't burnt! thought Andy, already halfway there. It was like his body had a mind of it's own, but the same thoughts as his mind did.

At Jake's house...
Yup. Andy was right. Jake's house wasn't burnt down. It was... broken. There were splints of concrete everywhere. All furniture was just sticks and little pieces of cloth. There was nothing left, but the little pieces of the house. The house was still technically there, just not to be lived in.
Andy was dumbfounded. It looked like the house has been through a shredder a few times, over and over again, until there were little tiny shreds of it. There was still no people.
Andy was silent.
Who could've done this? thought Andy. Wait, what about MY house?
Andy quickly ran to his house. It was still there. It just had something painted on it. The paint wrote (in red bloodish letters) BEWARE ANDY! MORE THINGS WILL BE TAKEN IF I DONT GET WHAT I WANT.
Andy then blacked out.

Thoughts (part 22)

The last time we saw Andy, he found out more about his brother and his relationships with his family as a child.

Wow... Andy thought, my brother just left, before I could even spend some quality time and make some quality memories with him? What kind of person is he? He seems evil, but nice and kind. He seemed desperate and cruel. 
Andy started crying the more he thought about his brother. He couldn't bear it, so he stopped thinking about his brother. He started to think about what to tell Jordan and Jake. Should I tell them, or not? Andy thought to himself.

In the hallway...

Andy decided to tell them the whole thing. They're my best friends! I can't think that I can't tell them something as important as this! They must know! thought Andy.

But when Andy got to class...

Andy couldn't find them. They weren't at their lockers, or in the bathroom, or the cafeteria, or homeroom. Andy tried to call their phones, but they didn't pick up.

This is disastrous! Andy thought frantically. WAIT. Calm down Andy, reason with yourself. They might just be late, Andy reasoned. Wait until the end of the day.

The talk (part 21)

The last time we saw Andy was at the table with his parents.

"The Incident?" asked Andy.
"Yes, you'll see that when you were young, before the incident, there was pictures of your brother. He was 13 years old and was happy as can be. He had a phone, loving parents, good grades, and um well a good life." explained his father carefully.
"Yes, and then, we decided that he might be getting lonely, just sitting by himself. We did as much as we could, but we felt like that wasn't enough. We decided to get another child. We told your brother and he was delighted that he will have someone to play with. We decided to adopt one, you see, and we got you... as an infant." his mom explained quickly.
"Your brother didn't like that because he had to help change you and feed you and had lots more chores because your father and I were tired. Your brother wanted an older brother and got mad that he was doing all the work for something we decided. His friends were making fun of him, his grades were slipping, and he was starting to smoke. We thought of taking you back, but we felt bad, so we tried upping our game a little. I still didn't help. It tore you brother apart and soon, it was time for college. He managed to keep up his grades just enough to get in the top university. He left as early as possible with no warning." Andy's mom started to cry.
"That was the last time we saw him. Once he got into college, he never talked to us again." concluded his father.
"Uhh, wow. Umm, thanks." replied Andy in shock.
After that, Andy slowly got up and put away his dishes, got his backpack, and walked to school, in silence.

Inquisitiveness (part 20)

The last time we saw the gang was at the bus stop...

The bus finally came and Andy was in deep thought. I wonder, could it be more than we expected? I feel like we are missing something.

Andy got off bus stop 29 and walked the rest of the way home. It all seemed like a dream that I can't remember the details to. I can only remember the first part of it, when I asked to be excused. It's like I forgot. Actually, I don't remember my childhood or my so called brother. Andy thought.

Andy went home and tried to sleep, but couldn't. He was to inquisitive. Why can't I remember anything? What happened when I was a child? Who is my so called brother? Why have I not noticed until now?
Actually, Andy thought, I never seen any baby pictures around the house like I see at Jordan or Jake's house.

Andy made up his mind to ask his parents tomorrow morning.

In the morning...

Andy woke up to the sound of his alarm clock going off and his feet tied together.

My little brother pulling another trick again, thought Andy.
Andy untied the rope got dressed and went down for breakfast, where he met his parents as usual.

This is the time I ask them. At the table was sitting his parents and his little brother.

Andy asked, "What happened to me as a child?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other. His brother was the first to move. HE got up, put his dish in the sink, grabbed his backpack and left for school. Andy's mom and dad were staring at each other like they were having a silent conversation. Finally, they broke the silence.

"Why do you ask, son?" asked his dad
"I was thinking last night that it was weird that I never seen any baby pictures of like I do at Jordan and Jake's houses." replied Andy.

"Honey, you might want to take a seat and eat some breakfast. It's time to tell him Tom... about the Incident."

Remembering (Part 19)

The last time we saw the gang, they thought they should've seen something at the bus stop, but didn't see it.

"Okay... Well, anyways,"said Andy, trying to get the conversation back on track, "let's try and stick to facts. What do we know?"
"Well, we know that he is trying to kill you and has spies everywhere. We also know the first part of his plan." stated Jake.
"How did we even know about this? How did this all start anyways?" asked Jordan, still in thought about her past theory.
"Well, umm, let's see first, uh" Jake said confusingly as he pointed in all different direction, like trying to put pictures in order for a timeline.
Jake briefly stopped to think. Then he turned to Andy.
"How did this start, Andy?" asked Jake.
"Well..." Andy stalled thinking back...
It was picture day. Andy remembered. I was having strange visions, like the you are dead to me on the wall. But what was before that? I can't remember.
"It was picture day. I was having strange visions like the you are dead to me on the wall when I asked to go to the bathroom. Why did I ask to go to the bathroom again?" asked Andy.
"Well, it looked like your head was hurting, but you kept telling us that you were fine. You started walking funny, but no one else noticed but us. Even the teacher didn't notice." recalled Jordan.
"Yeah, then when we got into the auditorium, you looked like you got hit by a big gust of wind. You seemed to be staring at the photographer. That was when you asked to be excused." explained Jake.
"What happened when I was gone?" asked Andy.
"When you were gone, the photographer was really weird. He started to talk funny the more he talked. It was like he kept getting more insane the more he talked. He explained to us the rules and how he wanted us to stand. Then it looked like he crazy and hungry! When we lined up to get our pictures, the photographer was really nice and happy, like he was never crazy or hungry. He didn't even remember when we asked him if he was okay." explained Jordan.
It's weird I never recalled what happened between the auditorium and the bathroom scene. thought Andy.

*I know some readers might be confused about the explanations that Jordan and Jake gave to Andy because the explanation they recalled weren't like that in parts 1 and 2. That is because those parts were in the view of Andy, not in the view of Jake or Jordan.*

Something weird (Part 18)

The last time we saw the gang, they were in homeroom finally uncovering what Chris' plan might be.

"Well, at least now we have some idea of what Chris is doing! The question is, where is he? He could be anywhere!" exclaimed Jordan.
The group all sat in silence, dumbfounded of what to do next. The bell then rang for homeroom to start.
Later. . .
RING RING RRRRRIINGGG the bell chimed.
School was out and the gang was waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
"I have been thinking about the place all day! Jeez, we don't even know what Chris is going to do with the eggs once they hatch!!" screamed a fustrated Jake.
"Calm down Jake! People are looking at you like you are crazy. We'll just wait for clues or some other evidence to turn up." explained and soothed Andy.
"You know, I can't shake this feeling that we are missing something. Like a major point. Something that should be plainly seen, but we are just focusing on the wrong thing. It's weird." Jordan said slowly.
"I also can't shake the feeling of always being watched. I feel like I always have to be on my toes. Anticipating what's to come. Like a CIA agent. I always have to be aware." Jake said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, now that you guys mention it, I feel the same way too. Like ever since we found out about this case, we should suddenly know everything, but it's to plain to see. I also feel like we are being watched." said Andy.
The gang turned around to look behind them.  And he thought he saw something in the bushes, but quickly shook it off and thought it was an illusion. The gang focus returned back to the problem at hand.
"That was weird." said Jake.
"Yeah, I felt like we should've seen something." concluded Jordan.

Putting the pieces together, somewhat...(Part 17)

The last time we saw the gang (or should I more accurately say Andy) Andy saw and read an article from the mornings newspaper and found out new information.

Andy pedaled as fast as he could all the way to school.
I can't wait to tell Jordan and Jake! thought Andy.
Andy dropped his bike in front of the bike racks and ran as fast as he could to his locker then to homeroom.
"JORDAN!! JAKE!! I HAVE MORE THINGS TO SHOW YOU!!" screamed Andy while he burst into the room out of breath and sweaty.
Jordan and Jake we startled from their table football game and Jordan was a few inches short of a touchdown. Andy ran to them and explained everything while everyone else continued their projects or talking.
"Wow! So that does mean that he could be building an incubator!!" Jordan said in a surprised tone.
"Yeah!! Maybe he might be multiplying what ever is inside the egg! But that means he must know more than what the scientists know. He must be smart!" Jake said excitedly.

The articles (part 16)

The last time we saw the gang, they were on the bus after finding out about the stolen items.

The three friends sat together on the bus.
"The police only named the items, not the quantity of it." Jordan inquisitively said.
"That means he could make many cannons and many incubators!" half-screamed Jake, shivering.
"It's weird that he stole incubators. He must be up to something. I wonder what he might've done with those incubators." replied Andy.

In the morning...
Andy looked at the article his dad was reading, like every morning. Although, this particular morning, two headlines caught his eye.
One of the headlines was:
MYSTERIOUS CIRCULAR OBJECT MISSING FROM SCIENCE LAB.
Another headline was:
MANY MORE ITEMS STOLEN FROM HARDWARE AND SUPPLY STORES
Andy almost gasped at the headlines and wanted to read more about the topics, hoping it would help his friends and him with their search for his brother. On the way to school, he jumped on the internet and searched up both headlines and read the article.
MYSTERIOUS CIRCULAR OBJECT MISSING FROM SCIENCE LAB
          Many scientists were looking at this oval shaped object. The person who found it, Joe Whizguy, found the object in his backyard one Sunday. "It was the weirdest thing!"said Whizguy, "It left a crater in my backyard, but it wasn't cracked. I immediately called the police and scientists near my house and told them to identify it." The scientists looked at the object and considered it an egg, but didn't know what species or where it came from.
Andy then typed in the second headline.
MANY MORE ITEMS STOLEN FROM HARDWARE AND SUPPLY STORES
           The increase of items stolen had jumped, but it was mostly because the group of people or person stolen a big stock of the same thing. The person stole metal, bendable walls, a metal helmet top, lightbulbs, and a radioactive power emitter. The radioactive power emitter is very dangerous and can be used to start anything, although it is unstable and anyone who handles it, without the proper care, might be dead as meat. What could the person or group of people steal next and what are they going to do with all that stuff?
Andy stopped reading and put the phone in his pocket. The sped up on his way to school.
I have to tell Jordan and Jake the new information!, he thought.

The stolen items (part 15)

The last time we saw the gang was in the hall way outside of Alex's apartment. 

"Well, let's go to the police department to see if he has a criminal record... or if anything has been stolen." replied Andy to Jake's question.

At the police station...

"Hi! I'm Jordan and I'm here with my friends Andy and Jake. We would like to know if Chris Robin Johnson has a criminal record." said Jordan in a sweet tone.

"Okay, sure." replied the police man who is typing on the computer. 

"Ummm, it seems like Chris doesn't have a criminal record." replied the police man, smiling.

"Was there anything stolen recently?" asked Jordan, cautiously.

"Yes, there has been some stolen things, like an incubator, levers, and a metal barrel." said a frowning police man.

"Oh, okay. Thank you!" replied Jordan, who is back to her sweet tone.

Outside the police station...

"Metal barrel and levers seem like a gun of some sort, but an incubator? What could that be used for?" asked Jake.

"Well, I'm not sure, but I do know that we better get home before we miss dinner and are in big trouble!" replied Jordan who is running toward the bus stop.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow" said Jake and Jordan waiting for the bus.

Hmmm... an incubator. Must be used to hatch something. I wonder what. Thought Andy while the bus arrived. 

The apartment (Part 14)

The last time we saw the gang, they were at Alex's apartment.

Inside the apartment, Andy saw junk food all over the place. There were streamers and beer bottles all over the place. There was a T.V. set and a reclining chair in the middle of the place. The place was so dirty, that you couldn't even see the floor. Andy was afraid to step on a piece of glass. Alex plopped down on the recliner chair and said:
"What do you need to know?"
"Well, we need to know about Chris." said Andy.
"Chris' full name is Chris Robin Johnson. He ran away from home to 'fulfill his invention'. He wanted no one to get in the way. This is all I know." told Alex.
"Okay, thank you. We will be leaving now." Jordan said firmly.
"Remember, don't tell anyone about me or this place. If I get caught, I will know who told." warned Alex.
With that warning, the gang took their leave.

Out in the hall way...
"Well, at least we have more information. What should we do now?" asked Jake.

Alex (part 13)

The last time we saw the gang, they were at this bus stop with this girl named Alani.

The third bus finally arrived and the people got on. Andy and Jake sat together, while Jordan and Alani sat together. As soon as the bus started, Andy was deep in thought. I wonder who my so called brother could be? I've never heard of him. I wonder, if he is my brother, why he didn't stay. I wonder what he is like right now. As Andy was fantasizing over what his brother looked like, Alani got off at the stop. Andy, Jordan, and Jake all scrambled off the bus before it pulled away.
"Phew! That was close. Where are we?" asked Jordan.
"This is where my brother lives. He lives in an apartment. It's a run down place, but it has cheap rent." Alani said.
They walked inside all the way up to room XXX (sorry, just so you can't stalk him at his house!!).  Alani knocked and said something, like a passcode and the door opened, revealing a man about 6'1" in his mid 20s. He instantly started asking questions about us.

"Alani, who are these people?! Why are they here? Do they know what I did? Are there trackers? Police? Tell me everything you know!! I have a butter sock and I'm not afraid to use it!!" said the man.
"Alex, chill. These people are people at my school. I did a proper check and they don't have any trackers or anything. This boy here," said Alani as she pointed at me, "just wants to know about Chris. They don't know about what you did. They only know that you know about Chris. Please put the sock back in the refrigerator before it melts." concluded Alani.
"Alright. B-but don't tell them alright? And what is said in here never is said to another living soul outside of these walls." nervously said Alex.
The gang agreed and the door opened fully to see the apartment...
