“Aaaand,
that’s the game! We win 7-5. Sucks to be you guys.” Tom gloats over his
victory. The game and everything else seemed to go back to normal after Jack’s
episode of zoned out travel. The teams both had several moments of looking like
they were going to win but, ultimately Tom’s team came out on top. This was in
no small amount due to the fact that Jack purposely played poorly. He wasn’t willing
to risk another blackout like that and get figured out.
“I
think I’m calling it for today. I have to head home to go, UGH, back to school
shopping. My mom is making me get ready for Sweetney’s class. I can’t believe I
have her this year. I will see you guys later!” Jack calls as he makes his way
off the field.
“Whew, I can finally relax I just need to get
through shopping with mom and I am home free.” Jack walks down the street
towards his home, careful not to get too lost in thought. Rounding the corner
to his street he sees a red sedan parked in front of his house. Jack’s heart
drops to his feet and his breath catches. No one on his street drives one of
those. Could it be someone here for him? Did they find out about his weird
outbursts.
“Oh god, oh
god, what if they are here for me?! What am I going to do? I can’t go to a
prison or a scientific lab to be dissected.” Jack whispers to himself as he
sets foot in the driveway. He took a look in the car nothing giving away a
government presence. Yet, he still felt uneasy. Creaking the door open he
enters the house.
“Mom, I’m
back!” Announcing his presence Jack kicks off his shoes. “Hey, sweetie. I’m in the family room. We have a guest.” Jack’s
stomach somersaults. He was right someone was here, but who?
