Chapter 102 I'm Dead

Xenon's POV

"If you ever need us, just call," Blake said and I nodded.

"We'll be right back!" Jake yelled.

"Don't forget the bar okay? On Sunday!" Blue reminded.

I could see the happiness on their eyes as they get inside their cars and then they drive off. I don't know what was up with them that they suddenly change their behavior especially during our conversation. Regardless, this is a chance to be taken.

They suggested a good friend who they say will definitely offer a number of his people. I told them, I can't just add untrusted people in my group but they insisted because their good friend is trustworthy but, a drug lord.

See? Trustworthy but a drug lord. Tch. However, Lucas and the rest of the Insigma Fighters agreed so I have no choice but to do so. Hoping that the person they were talking about are truly trustworthy, I can't even trust the Blue Fire Gang how could I with their friend? But then I sighed, I have no choice.

He can only be seen in the Bar called Ashton on Sunday at night. The moment I heard the Ashton Bar, I decided to back out but they insisted on wanting to have an enjoyment for a moment.

So then again... I agreed. I also wanted my friends to have a bit of enjoyment if the Bar could be the answer, then fine. I heave a deep breath and sighed.

Things are going smoothly but I hope in times of the battle... things will go smooth as well.

It must be good to have the Blue Fire Gang but damn it! They are a pain in the ass!

How could they touch my girl!?

I walked towards the living room and saw Drena doing the dishes.

"Where's Claire?" I asked.

"Oh, she's upstairs. Probably sleeping." She answered.

"Oh I see." I nodded.

I turned my back to go upstairs but I haven't take a step when...

"Where are you going?" Drena asked.

"In my room," I answered with a questioning look. "Why?"

"Don't you have anything else to do here?" She asked again.

"Do I have anything to do? As far as I know, I have nothing left to do here." I said and started walking up the stairs but then again I was stopped.

"Xen," Lucas called.

I turned my back to see Coby, Adrian, and Lucas.

"Can we talk for a moment?" Adrian asked.

Nodding, I went back to the living room followed by them.

...

"So, what now?" We were sitting on the couches, they said we will talk but until now no voice came out from their mouth.

"How much do you know Claire?" Adrian suddenly asked.

I suddenly felt a rage of anger, "If this conversation is about her. You should stop." I stand up aiming to walk out but Lucas grabbed my arm.

"Xen please, don't be stubborn. We knew you're curious about Claire and we are also dying to know her. We've been friends for so long, we've been together at tough times and we won't do anything stupid to you." He said.

I know, but I hate someone talking about her especially behind her back.

"We need to be vigilant Xen. I'm not saying you can't trust her but... how can we... if, we don't know anything about her?" Adrian said.

He must be right. There are so many questions in my mind about Claire and that... Silencer.

If the Tarre Family is not involved with Marco's doing then why did the Silencer followed me a few days ago??

I went back sitting and heard them sighed in relief.

"So let's start from here. When I came to the Administration Office I did not found her profile. Where could it be then? All students should have their files lies in there." Lucas started but I'm too dazed thinking of so many things.

"If Marco didn't take it... Claire did." Adrian concluded which made me looked at him.

"Why would Marco take it then? As far as I know, Claire doesn't belong to the Classified Files." Coby followed thinking deeply.

"Then she took it." Lucas finally concluded.

" But why? Is she hiding her identity?" Coby asked.

"I don't know, but she can control Uno. Even I can't do that!" Lucas frustratingly said.

"Well, she made the Blue Fire Gang worked with us," Adrian said as he smirked.

"She can do things that are hard to explain," Coby murmured.

"She seems someone... someone more than we expected..." Lucas followed looking at me, making eye contact.

"Oops!" I suddenly heard broken glasses and when I take a look to where it came from.

"Cassandra! Are you okay?" Coby rushed at her inspecting her hands.

"I'm sorry, the tray slipped off my hands." She apologetically stated looking at me.

"No worries, it's good to know you weren't hurt." I smiled at her.

"Thank you." She said and started cleaning the broken glasses.

"Don't, let me handle it." Coby offered. Nodding, she rushed towards the kitchen.

Did something happen? Is there something wrong?

"Set this conversation off. I have something to do and please stop talking about her, set aside your curiosity. Claire is on our side, whoever she is, doesn't matter." I said and walked out going towards my room.

If I would ever know her identity, it shouldn't have come out from their mouth nor on my intuition... but from her.

As long as she couldn't say it, I'll wait until the day she's ready. It is better to stay ignorant than to know something unexpected... than to know something that... can destroy us.

So I will wait... for her.

The moment I reached my room and open the door...

I was shocked to see my room... unused.

Oh shit! Where did she go?

I immediately rushed to find her and suddenly decided to look at the bathroom.

But when I opened the bathroom door.

I can feel my heartbeat hammer too fast against my chest and heat suddenly consumed my body.

"Fuck." I murmured.

I'm dead.
