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...
