=The Next Afternoon, The Community Centre Locker Room=
Chris and the others were changing back out of their overalls when Curtis found a note taped to the inside of his locker.
It said. "I know what you did" in the way they cut and paste letters in ransom notes on the telly.
He tore the note down. "Someone knows. They know we killed our probation worker," he said.
Kelly glared at Nathan. "Is this a wind-up? Is this you?" She asked.
Nathan looked offended. "If I was trying to wind you up, I think I'd be a little more creative. 'I know what film you saw last summer.'" He said mockingly.
"This isn't funny!" Kelly retorted.
"If I wanted to freak you out I would've dug up the body and stuck that in your locker," Nathan said.
"If it wasn't him, who was it?" Simon asked.
"If they knew anything they wouldn't be leaving notes in lockers. We'd be locked up already. They didn't even specify what we "did" in the note," Chris said.
"Yeah! we've all done stuff. They could be talking about anything," Nathan said.
"How did they find out though?" Alisha asked.
Chris shrugged, "I doubt they actually know for sure. It must be someone that knows the probation worker and is trying to find out what happened. We were the last ones to see him after all," he said.
Nathan patted Curtis on the shoulder."Anyway, I'm guessing it's about some other totally unrelated shit that you've done. If we're all done freaking out here, over nothing, there's somewhere I need to be," he said before strolling out of the locker room.
Curtis stared at the rest of them left in the locker room. "Please tell me you don't actually believe that prick?!" He said.
Kelly shrugged. "Well, whoever did it is just trying to freak us out, right? We just act normal," she said.
=On The Way Home=
On the way to the station Chris checked his phone.
[Power Broker Seth: I got lucky today.]
Chris raised his brow.
[Chris: Oh yeah? What was it?]
[Power Broker Seth: I was able to get my hands on Super Strength. I was able to convince this idiot to let it go for only 300 quid. Can you imagine that?]
[Chris: Okay. Good work. I'll swing by your place to pick it up.]
He changed course and headed towards Seth's place instead.
On the way he opened his messages with Lily.
[Chris: Well. You'll never guess what happened today.]
[Ice Queen: Hey. What happened?]
[Chris: Well this morning while we were picking up trash around the neighbourhood we found "the guy that lives with Nathan's mum" sleeping naked in the street.]
[Ice Queen: What?! No way!]
[Chris: Yes way. Not only that his cock and balls were absolutely massive. I don't think Nathan appreciated knowing that.]
[Ice Queen: OMG. That's hilarious.]
[Chris: As if that wasn't enough you remember the girl that makes people want to shag her right? Well the probation worker tried to make her dance with one of the old men in this event they were holding for the elderly.]
[Ice Queen: Oh no!]
[Chris: Yeah. It did not go well. At least she got to do nothing for the rest of the day.]
[Ice Queen: I can't imagine. I already get sick of all the guys approaching me at the bar. Her power sounds awful.]
=Seth's Place=
Chris knocked on the door. It didn't take Seth long to answer.
Seth smiled as soon as he noticed him. "Hey. Come in!" He said excitedly.
"Would you like some tea?" He asked.
Chris shook his head. Looking at Seth's shabby home he was sure it was probably Tesco brand or something like it.
"No thanks," he said.
"Do... do you want it now?" Seth asked.
Chris simply extended his arm.
Seth took it and it only took a moment before Seth lit up in red while Chris lit up in purple, black, and blue again. The red light slowly moved from Seth to Chris.
Seth sat down and recollected his breath.
"How do you feel?" He asked after a few moments.
"I'm not sure. The same?" Chris said.
"Do you want to test it out?" Seth asked.
Chris checked the time on his phone. "No that's alright. I should be getting home anyway," he said.
Seth seemed a little disappointed, but started leading him to the front door.
Before leaving Chris turned to Seth. "You've done a good job. You can take an extra 100 from the money I invested for yourself as a reward for finding this power. Let me know if you start running low on capital and I'll bring you some more," Chris said.
As soon as he got home he did some testing. It turned out the Super Strength he got was pretty good. Although it wasn't as crazy as some of the popular heroes known for their strength it took him beyond the limits of a regular human. He could effectively pull off Captain America level strength feats. He tried and succeeded at lifting his parents car and wasn't even exhausted afterwards.
=The Next Morning, The Community Centre Main Hall=
Nathan was trying to show Kelly something on his phone.
"It's him. It's the guy who lives with my mum. This is evidence," Nathan said.
Kelly looked at the screen in confusion. "What am I looking at?" Kelly asked.
"Cock, anus, bit of ball-sack," he said pointing them out one by one.
She pulled the phone closer for a better look. "Ooh, what's that?" She asked.
"That's ball-sack. It's from a low angle. Jesus!" He retorted.
Kelly looked at him with suspicion. "Why, where were you last night?" She asked.
Nathan quickly ran off to show it to Chris. "Look. There's his massive cock ...yeah?" He said.
Chris chuckled. "It's not that massive," he said.
Alisha laughed. "Oh it isn't? No need to overcompensate," she said.
Chris smirked. "No need for that," he said.
She rolled her eyes. "Sure. I'll believe it when I see it. That thing was massive," She said.
