"Um..." I say, thinking, "Okay. Just a minute."
I turn to my sister and whisper in her ear, "I don't trust this guy. If he knows we're students, he knows we should be in school. He has to be a cop or something. Be careful what you say to him."
I give a subtle nod.
"What do you need to know?" I ask the man.
"At the school? No, nothing happened. I bet you're wondering why we aren't in the school. Well, there is a very good reason for that. Alex, would you like to tell the man?" I say, trying not to show my nervousness.
"Oh, sure," I say, shooting an evil glare at my brother. I think for a minute. "Well, you see, it's Senior Ditch Day--completely allowed by the school, for the record--and we are both seniors. Hence, we aren't in school--again, allowed by the school," I say much more nervously than my brother.
Jay walked toward them slowly. "You guys are not very good liars, since I already know what happened. I would not suggest running since there are worse people than me looking for you. Now for the questions. Where is the other one? My contact said that one other person ran with you."

"Another person? I don't know anybody else who's with us. Are you sure your 'contact'--whatever that means--got that right? Maybe someone else ran a different direction, but nobody else is with us," I say, growing more nervous by the second.
<This isn't going very well.> I thought as I got a little more nervous and even more ancy as I kept fidgeting in Luke's pocket. 're going to get caught.>
Jay stopped in front of them "Undoubtedly, since my contact was about half of your school. Now then I will ask you again. Where is the other one? His life is in danger if he gets caught by the others."

I glare at the man, my eyes locked on his.
"I'm not telling you anything. If you want to find him, you're gonna have to go through me," I say, the nervousness in my voice somehow vanished.
I looked up out of the pocket, not sure what to do. <If I show myself, Luke will get mad, but I can save us this trouble. If I don't show myself then Luke might get hurt, but I won't be discovered. Oh....> I thought nervously, fidgeting even more in his pocket. I poked my head slightly out of Luke's pocket, trying to get a better view of what was happening.
Jay shrugged "It is his death on your head. He was unconfirmed, but you two, if what those kids said was not just a hallucination of some kind, are quite dangerous. I can not say too much out in the open like this, too many unfriendly ears. Lets just say i was once in the same position you are in now, but I was alone, and no one came for me at that time. There are things in this world that are kept from the public, and you two, and possible the one you are so bravely trying to defend, are now in the middle of it."

"And why should I believe a word you say? Something tells me you're not who you say you are. You're dangerous, and I'm not letting my sister anywhere near you," I say, walking in front of Alex in case of a fight.
<Stop being so dense, you idiot!> i thought, wondering what I could possibly do to stop him from causing a fight. I decided to just reveal myself. I poked myself half way out of the pocket and said, "I'm right here." and stood there, waiting for a response from everyone.
<Oh, crap! What is he doing? Now the man will know we have crazy powers, know Cale was with us the whole time, and probably some other bad stuff will happen as well.>
Jay looked at the shrunken kid "So that is three confirmed. Shatter is going to have a field day with this. Well that is one problem down. Now I need you three to come with me. That agent is probably on his way already."

"You really think I'm coming with you voluntarily? If you want me to come, you're gonna have to tie my hands behind my back and carry me there."
<Don't give him ideas!>
Jay looked between them, then saw some police walking down the street. That can be arranged, very soon. He focused on the girl. "Do you share your brother's view?"

Jay sighs "I really did not want to have to do this" The cops walked up behind the kids and one started to say "You two, we have been loo..." , but that was as far as they got. Jay crushed their personalities, they were now mindless drones, no feelings, no fears. They were his completely. "Grab them." They were quick at the attempt. Thankfully they keep certain things such as talents, skills, and memory. At least until the new personality is created. The good thing about drones is that they do not do a thing until he tells them to, and they ignore pain. He should probably start calling them zombies, but then it would not go with 'Hive'.

The cops grab me by my arms and hold them behind my back, but that isn't what concerns me. "Don't touch my sister!" I scream at the cops as I struggle to get out of their grip.
I turn to my sister and whisper in her ear, "I don't trust this guy. If he knows we're students, he knows we should be in school. He has to be a cop or something. Be careful what you say to him."

((I have to leave now.))
I do as Luke says, my lips sealed shut.
