Little story, ... Options

[CrazayChristian]

Intro:
It had been five years since the murder. My brother had eventually remarried and his son had secluded himself from everyone else. I worry about that kid, but we still don't know what happend. Mary seems to be all that has kept me searching. This small Texas town not far from Austin was just like any other town...Except for our secret....
Chapter 1:
"Joshua!" I lifted my head up from the desk frantically. A dull snicker could be heard around the class as the teacher glared at me. " Are we all awake now?" Another snicker slipped it's way across the room.
I hadn't slept well in the past few days, my brother was getting married the month after this, and I knew he wasn't ready for such a responsablility. I sometimes wander how he manages to feed himself. The thought made me smile, a small break from the world would make me smile.
Class had ended and the teacher didn't kill me after class. I was a good student and one small incident wouldn't make Mr. Bauer to forget that.
It was nearing the end of the school year, and I was already missing everyone. I walked up to the main campus and thought of how I would eventually never have to walk there again...I would already be there.
As I slowly paced down the empty hall, I thought of how the year went. In one year I had made completely new friends, nearly lost my best friend, improved my talents, helped 20 people make thier lives better, keep one person from commiting suicide, and grew as a person. "All in a years work" I whisper to myself as I approach my destination, the musical arts facility.
I always came in through and left from the Muscial halls. I couldn't resist the tempting sound of music, and the fact that I was a musician was irrelivant. The best thing was that the people there were very diverse, it's not a wander that my friends would be.
At that moment I felt someone grab my waist, I turned quickly just to see James."Come on, you got me all excited for nothing"
"Oh, excited eh? I didn't know you were like that."
"You know good and well what I ment." I laughed and walked away. He seemed to enjoy pretending to hit on guys, I just rolled with it and he'd be on his way.
I had put away my Bags and decided to relax and sit down, but something caught my eye. She walked down the hall and I stoped breathing. I picked up my stuff and left. I couldn't face her again, not yet, not after what happend...

Chapter 2:
I walked out and I bumped into a suit. Apearently someone was wearing it adn they seemed to have a rich backround. I decided I should let him get to what ever he was doing."Excuse me"
"I'm sorry dear boy, but maybe you can be of some assistance to me. Can you point out Joshua Godfree to my person?"
"Speaking..." Why was this guy looking for me? He wasn't any goverment guy, banker possibly. Who was he?
"Oh good, I'm sorry but I have some terrible news. Your parents, they seemed to have been...killed."
My heart leaped to my throat, the shock hit me like a bullet and the world began to spin and I felt light headed. I felt myself falling and the world went black.
I woke up in my room, the man was there along with my brother, my sister and David. I looked up and sat up quickly" I had the strangest nightmare.." I then saw a strange look of suprise in the strange mans eyes and he seemed to relax. He told me "It wasn't a dream I'm afraid, you parents were killed."
I sat there in awe, I couldn't help but feel the incredible sadness that over flowed me more than the flood of '98. I sat there and everyone knew to leave. I laid down and thought about the situation and by the time I had looked back at the time I saw it had been 4 hours. Strangly enough, I didn't cry. I love and cared for my parents...but I didn't cry. I decided to walk down stairs and see who was still home.
As I walked down the stairs I heard some talking. It was faint but I could understand it.
"...they can't know."
"It may be our only chance. Hiding it didn't work, and now he's back. We should have warned everyone."
"You know good and well that would have made this plan a complete waste. There was no way we could have known."
"But we know whose next."
"Yes, But we can't let this get out, it might go away."
"BUT WHAT IF IT DOESN'T"
"We can't put everyone else in jepardy we will risk it."
I had no idea what they were saying. I reconized the first man, he was that banker or what ever. The second I had no Idea.
"We will use the usual story, the last thing we need is another outbreak...I don't think we'd be able to stop it this time..."

Chapter 3:

The new guy left, I saw this as an opprotunity to walk down casually. I seemed to suprise the Suit.
"How long have you been there?"
"Just a second or so."
"Oh, well I'll just be going now, your brother will stay with you and I've left my contact."
"Who are you by the way?"
"Paul Pape is the name"
"Oh, well, go on, I'm sure you're busy."
"Quite" He put his hat on, and walked out. I didn't waste a minute I got on the computer quickly and contacted scout. He (or she for this matter) was my main contact with what ever happens in the area. I have no idea what he looks like, how old he is, what he sounds like, Or anything about him. I helped him once to lose some enemies of his and he's been my contact since then.
"Scout, I need you to tell me about a very serious matter." The cursor blinked, I hoped he was there, I couldn't let anyone know I knew him.
A few minutes went by and my computer beeped "Your parents death you mean?" I had no idea why he talked like this, but I just went with it.
"Yes...anything, I have an erie feeling about this."
"scout would to If scout were you."
"Why?"
Minutes went by and they seemed like hours, and I recived an odd message:
"010101000110100001100101011110010010000001000001011100100110010100100000010
011101110010011011110110111001100111001011100010111000101110"
"What does this mean Scout?"
"Connection Terminated..."
The computer shut off.
I printed the message out and I hid it between my matress. Something was going on here and I couldn't just let it go, my parents were involved. I heard a noise in my closet, like something had fallen, then I heard a dull growling kind of sound. I walked up to the door slowly and swung it open. Nothing.
I decided I had taken too much into a day and I collapsed on the bed. It took me hours to fall asleep, but I couldn't shake this feeling there was someone else there...
