Chapter 2's here at last!

Chapter 2: The Hunt Begins

From his position right across the 7-11 his targets went into, Jimmy observed them carefully, like how a lion would before attacking an innocent antelope. Knifey was kept away, to be used later.

​ Nick pushed the door open and stepped out. All the others were right behind him, holding Slurpies and some bags of chips.

Why and how did Jimmy know him? Well, he decided that he had to do some “research” on these kids, just to make things a lot more fun; for a psychopathic mass murderer about to make them fight for their lives, that is.

“Why didn’t anyone tell me it wasn’t Free Slurpie day today?” Nick complained.

“I did,” Val protested.

Jack nodded. “But you guys were being a bunch of deaf kids and didn’t listen. That’s what you get.”

“At least Gertrude gave us a discount,” Micheal told them. “Good thing Papa Acachalla’s out sick today.”

“Yeah,” Kevin said. “We should probably head back now.”

The group started walking down the street. Jimmy tailed them cautiously, careful not to reveal himself. Not just yet.

A few more minutes of them walking and chatting, he finally found his opening. Jonathon was busy calling someone and was falling behind.

Jimmy pounced on him and knocked him out by whacking him on the nape. Jonathon yelped, earning the attention of his friends.

“AH!” Val screamed. Jimmy hauled Jon’s unconscious body over his shoulder and dashed into an alleyway.

“Jon!” They all chased him down, but he had something up his sleeve. He jumped into a hole in the ground and covered it up with a grate. From underneath, he saw them run across him.

“It works!” he said cheerfully. He dragged Jon through his tunnel and into his "death maze". Seeing that he was ahead of them, he wounded him and wrote a message for them on the walls using his blood. He even tasted it for good measure.

He then brought Jon into a secret chamber and proceeded to his room, where he can see and hear everything. Things were gonna get better soon enough.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Jonathon!” Jack called out as they walked down the alleyway. His friend and the bloody teen had disappeared like smoke.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Where did he take him?” Val asked worriedly. “I hope Jon’s fine…”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“He’ll be fine, Val.” Jack didn’t know if he was trying to convince her or himself.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“I won’t be so sure of that,” Kevin said truthfully.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Jack glared at him furiously. “What the hell are you trying to say, Kev?”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“I’m only being realistic.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Well, it’s not helping.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">​ <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“I wasn’t—”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Hey!” Sage snapped. “If you two are done arguing, there’s a road up ahead.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Jack and Kevin looked straight ahead, along with the others. Indeed, there was an empty road by the end of the alley. An abandoned-looking building complex was located at the other side.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">He started to walk towards it when someone grabbed his arm. Jack turned and saw that it was Val.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">She looked twice as worried as she was before. “You’re not… going there, are you?”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Jon might be there, Val,” he replied. “I might as well check.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Ya know what? We should be calling the police,” Rire suggested. “On second thought, maybe we should just call Ghost and Toast. Officer Maloney’s useless in times like this.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">They all nodded. Kevin phoned them and walked away for a bit. He came back, surprise evident on his face.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Dude, what happened?” Nick asked. “Did a lady answer the phone?”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">He cringed. “No. Toast is actually on the way here when I called. He said that he’s looking for Ghost, and he thinks he might be there.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Or he actually is <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">there,” Jack pondered.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Don’t tell me—you think that guy’s Jimmy Casket?” Sage asked disbelievingly.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">He shrugged. “Everything fits, Sage.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Moments later, a red car pulled up by their side of the deserted road. It was sloppy, which meant that Toast was the one driving.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">​ <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Toast turned the engine off and got out. “Hello, there,” he greeted in a British accent.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">​ <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Hey, Toast,” they replied.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">He turned to look at the building complex. “So you think your friend’s there with the bloody kid who kidnapped him?”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Mike nodded. “They both disappeared while we chasing him. We walked around until we stumbled on the road. We know that we can’t handle it alone, so we contacted you.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Good call,” he replied. “We better not waste time here and move ahead.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">​ <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">The group, now accompanied by Johnny Toast, crossed the empty road and went inside one of the buildings. The moment they all went in, the double doors slammed shut, making them jump.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Toast tried to open them. “It’s locked.”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">​ <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">“Well, he couldn’t be more original,” Sage sneered.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Suddenly, the lights turned on. By the end of the corridor, on the wall, was a message written in blood.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Terror ran through everyone’s veins; even Toast was quite scared. He wasn’t used to encounter things like this without his partner Johnny Ghost.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Jack swallowed his vomit and half of his fear and read the words aloud: “ ''Blood has marked the beginning of the hunt. There is no turning back now''<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">.”

Yeah... it's a bit short, I know. But it's all I got. Feel free to add stuff in.

Oh, and Jack? That thing I said earlier? Please ignore that... I didn't get enough sleep, so my brain acts like I had macaroni. Don't take it the wrong way. I know what you're going through, basing on that other thread. I'm not adding up to that, trust me.
