Chapter 113 Confusing
Cassy's POV
I yawned and stretches my arms feeling the comfort of the cushion. "Best sleep ever!" I exclaimed lowly, as always, and giggles at my own actions.
Then I stand up looking at the clock above the table "5:00 am... woah! I woke up too early..." I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brushes my teeth. After my morning ritual, I got out of the bathroom.
*grrrr*
"I'm hungry. I'll go grab some snacks on the fridge." I smiled cheekily thinking about foods I can eat. Hihihi!
I walked outside the room and went downstairs. Just when I reached the living room...
"Oh my gosh! Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!" I screamed from the top of my lungs.

Xenon's POV
"Aaahhhhhh!" My senses went to an abrupt wake as I immediately sit up. I looked at my side to see Claire sleeping so peacefully. I sighed in relief.
"Aahhhh!" That scream again!
"Oh shit!" I immediately get out of my bed when I realized who it was and run downstairs, following Cassy's voice.
When I reached the living room "Cas- Oh shit!" I was shocked after seeing Jake standing in front of Cassy who's shaking in fear with her hands covering her face. "What happened to you!?" I asked Jake.
He looked more likely a zombie!! Under his eyes are dark eyebags with his hair on mess! His eyes came too little that might close any minute. His lips were slightly parted wearing his black garments.
"I'm... tired... I'll... go to sleep..." He said in low voice, sounding like a pathetic zombie man! And then, he turned his body going towards their room.
What made him so tired?
"No... please..." I turned to look at Cassy.
She was still shaking in fear with her eyes closed, and face covered by her hands.
"Hey, it's okay." My voice sounded reassuring as I took a step closer towards her. She slowly took her hands away from her face.
"Cassandra!! Are you okay?" I saw Coby running towards here at fast speed.
She slowly nodded when Coby reached for her, examining her body for a sign of wounds.
"What happened??" He asked in worry the moment he faced her.
"I... I saw a ghost..." Cassy murmured.
"It wasn't a ghost but Jake who looks like one," I explained plainly and turned my body as I walked back to my room.
"Was it really Jake?" Cassy asked me for assurance using her soft voice. The rest of the Insigma Fighters also came including Drena with worry on their faces.
I stopped and faced her "Yes. Seems like he worked hard all night." I stated and continue walking to my room.
Letting them talk on their own.
What did Jake do all night then??
Suddenly, a vision popped into my head. It was a memory from this early morning... a memory where Claire was kicking that... thing.
I shook my head and opened my door.
Just to see a beautiful lady, lying on my bed. I smiled watching her sleeping figure but my smile suddenly disappeared... "When..? When will you tell me?" I asked more to myself using a very low voice that came out as a whisper.
*******
"Ricky called earlier," I stated which made Lucas, Adrian, and Coby look at me while Martin is busy flirting with Jenna on the far corner. "He said that those two men who died last night were spies of Degouti." I continued.
I saw their eyes flickered for a moment and suddenly their eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.
"Spies of Degouti!? But... how..." Coby said in total shock and confusion.
"Do you... think they were spying on us?" Lucas asked in hesitation "I got the news last time, they were looking for us. I'm sure for revenge."
"If they were after us, who killed them then?" Adrian asked, shifting on his seat.
"That's a good question, none of us made a move and we were even ignorant by their existence!" Coby smiled in amusement of impossibility.
"We don't know. Maybe..." I faced them for once "it was a coincidence that those Degouti were there at the same place we were."
"I'm not comfortable with what's happening Xen. Things are getting mysterious as fuck!" Lucas snapped.
"We're being followed by a mystery..." Adrian faced us in total seriousness "and death."
His words buried fangs in my stomach as it churns and my heart beats in frantic. No way.
"Lunch!" Drena yelled from the kitchen which warmed our heated conversation.
"Coming!" Adrian yelled back and turned to look at me asking for approval.
I nodded and they all stand up.
From the living room, we proceeded to the kitchen.
"Where's the Blue Fire Gang?" Cassy asked when she sees no one of the Blue Fire Gang.
Shrugging, I said. "Maybe, still sleeping."
They've been sleeping until now which made me think of some reasons.
"It hurts. I was here but you were looking for them." Coby pouted while walking towards Cassy.
Cassy raised her eyebrows and then rolled her eyes.
"Maybe they were still having hangovers. They drunk too much last night. I collected 4 cases of empty bottles earlier."'Drena explained as she set the foods on the table.
"I see... maybe." I nodded in understanding.
Or
Maybe, not.
*******
"Where the hell is Bryan!?" I asked, he's pissing me off!
"I called him, he said he's coming," Martin replied, upset.
We've been waiting for hours! We can't start the meeting without his presence.
Bryan is one of my trusted men and also the most important one. He is working inside Marco's facility and leading all of our men from there.
Today is our meeting, this is the most important meeting that I've been preparing for many years. The Blue Fire Gang, Martin, my gang members, the rest of my people, and even Ricky were here.
Only one person is missing and we can't start without him! Damn it!
We're on the living room, waiting impatiently for Bryan.
"Fuck! If he'll keep us waiting, I'll definitely smash his face!" Coby exclaimed furiously.
We did not let the girls join our meeting because we don't want them to get involved. This is our battle... my battle and I don't want to lose Claire because of my fucked up life.
*Boogsh!* We all turned towards the door and saw Bryan barge in, panting and with sweat all over his face.
"What happened to you?" My voice sounded pissed.
"I'm sorry, the Martinez Grey Academy is surrounded by Marco's people. I can hardly escape from their suspicious eyes." He explained apologetically.
I sighed "It's okay, take your seat, you look so tired." I stated. My anger disappeared in understanding.
"You scare us, dude!" Martin said patting his shoulder when Bryan sit beside him.
He shoved Martin's hand "Tch." And leaned on the couch as he closed his eyes. He looked so tired and problematic.
What's wrong with him?
So many people are getting... confusing day by day.
My mind is full of curiosity and confusion that I can't do anything but... ignore it or I'll go insane!
