Chapter 5

A couple things ran through my head at point.

Why were the cops such a big deal? Alex was old enough to be out, and he wouldn't get in much trouble for the drugs.

Why did Alex even need this guy's help?

Was my mom going to find out that I had left?

I bet, she was going to figure it out. Oh, man. The thought made me cry. Even when Alex had told me not too, I couldn't help it. I tried to figure everything out in my head, which made me even more afraid and upset. Alex was pulling me towards what I figured was the living room. "Alex, why can't you explain now? I'm really afraid, you know. And if my mom finds out, I'll be dead. I'm not kidding Alex. . ."

"Aiden. . .Please stop crying. I can't tell you. Not yet. But don't worry because it's not that big of a deal. Okay? Please. ."

"Okay Alex. . .Whatever you say. . But will I be home before She wakes up?"

"Oh, I think so."  At this moment. I thought of something. And it was big.

I would probably have to leave home. Or do something, because there was total doubt in Alex's voice.

"Okay, okay. I think they are coming up the street." The voice was Derek's. "Alright you two. Go sit on the couch in the living room. I'll call you if they wanna question you guys or something." Alex pulled me towards a white couch. I knew he was going too tell me why everything was falling apart. "Okay Aiden. Sense I promised. I'll tell you everything. It's only fair. Just Listen" I nodded too let him know I understood, but was too scared to speek. "Alright. If you didn't notice, my parents aren't exactly, here right now. And, well. There is a specific reason Derek is taking care of me." "Okay Alex, just, get too it." "Alright, Alright. Sorry if you don't believe this. . . But about seven months ago, my parents left, and they said they were just going too a party, and I didn't even think about it. But when I woke up the next day, to find them not there, I knew something was going on. So I spent a couple days sort of, investigating where they really went. I figured out, they were supposed to go to a party, but it wasn't the type of party I had in mind. They were going to meet clients. Which, didn't sound weird at first, cause they were lawyers, and they always kept work from me. But, the clients they were meeting, let's just say, I haven't figured out what they wanted from my parents exactly. It invovled monet for sure."

"Alright Alex, but how does this have ANYTHING to do with cops.?"

"I was getting to that. You see, I never reported my parents missing, and I did it on purpose. And those cops, every single one, has been snooping around my house since they went missing. I've been questioned, and my brother, he has made his voice too sound like my dad's so he could pretend to be our father. We both have to figure out what happened to our parents, Aiden. And if they find out that my brother isn't my dad, I will be out in an orphanage. And I can't let you go home just yet, because we have to wait for the cops too really be gone, because if you are caught with me, you could be taken in, and possibly jailed."

"Why would I be jailed!? I didn't do anything!"

"Yeah, Aiden. Now that you know, you have too keep it a secret. and Please, don't tell anyone."

"Yeah, Alex, let me get this straight, your parents are missing, and no one noticed? And you and your brother are figuring out what happened too them, almost eight months ago? And now that I have been seen with you, a suspicious character, I could be kailed if they find me."

"Yes, that's exactly it. I'm sorry, that's why you are gonna say your my sister. And that's why you make up the story about why we were at the park that night. Something about your boyfriend maybe?"

"Okay Alex, just slow down. Let me. . .just give me a second to let it settle in."

I was shocked, I couldn't talk to these cops. . .

Too late, Derek called us too the door, and Alex was halfway there.

Uh oh. Very sharp chapter, everything to twirling into focus! We see Alex's true character now, and not the easygoing one in the third chapter and fourth chapter. I wonder what will happen next? I suppose we'll find out!
