CHAPTER 13

Time to think fast and come up with something believable maybe like how I just found him unconscious in one of the classrooms and decided to help him.No! that won't work he knows I don't go out helping damsel in distress. I have never had trouble whit coming up with believable lies why was this happening know.

"Hey Yan, come here I managed to bring down his fever a bit and I would say he looks to be in a stable condition but I still think taking him to the hospital is a much better idea."

"Thanks uncle Chris but I think its better if we wait until he wakes up and make that decision himself."

"So now start spilling out the truth boy and it better be nothing but the truth" What does he think this place is? a court? I knew I was not escaping this so I might as well tell him the whole truth except the truth about the body in the trash can.

"well I was looking through various rooms so as to pass time as we waited for the others to arrive when in found him in the lock..."

"Classroom"

The rough tone did not come from either of us so it meant it came from the only other person in the room with us.We quickly turned around only to lay our eyes upon the boy who was almost half dead twenty minutes ago trying to sit himself up the nurses bed before he fell back on the bed with a thud.

"Be careful young man you don't want to work up your body again and put yourself in an almost critical condition"

Uncle Chris talked to him in a soft reasonable tone as he helped him fix his pillow then help him sit up. I was expecting the not to act coldly towards my uncle and ignore his words but I was surprised when he quietly and obediently did as he was told. So this jack was being an ass to me only wait until he gets better and I will give him a piece of my mind.

I was waken up by some muffled voices on my left side but I couldn't see who it was since I was laying on my back. I suddenly recognized one of the voices as belonging to the older boy that I meet early. I strangely felt a sense of relief since I knew a familiar voice in the room even though we were still strangers and might not see eye to eye but it was quickly replaced by fear.

What if the person the older boy was talking to was a policeman and he already told them everything and know they were talking as the waited for me to get up so as to arrest me. I was beginning to freak out I took in several deep breathe so come myself down.

Maybe if I continue laying still and pretending to be unconscious I could listen closely and determine what they are talking about and maybe even come up with a way to get myself out of this situation. After listening closely I could determine that the other man was not a policeman but he was about to be a one more person who would know my secret.

The man was demanding an explanation and the idiot was about to tell him the whole damn truth.

" Well I was looking through various rooms to pass time while we waited for the other to arrive when I found him in the lock....."

"Classroom!" my voice was rough from having just waken up and having nothing to drink. I had to interrupt them so as to save myself, if I let him tell the man he found me in the locker room the man will surely go snooping out of curiosity and find the body.

I mean any one would, even I would considered how the situation was rather strange and suspicious. I tried to lift myself up into a sitting position using my arms but they gave out under me and I fell back onto the bed in a thud. Damnit if I can't even sit upright how am I going to manage to escape?

The man that stood with the older boy rushed towards me to try and help me up. I flinched when he placed his hand on my arm and lower back but he didn't seem fazed or loosen his grip he just tightened it. I was about to try to forcefully put myself out of his grip but when I looked up at his face I could only stare.

He had a look of concern on his face not fake concern but genuine concern. He was the first strange who had ever looked at me in such a way without even knowing who I am. In the past I quickly came to learn that strangers who showed concern for me mostly after huge fights were only strangers to me but I wasn't one to them.

They all seemed to know me very well to know that I could give then what they wanted so they faked their concern for me and tried to act as if they genuinely wanted to be my friend. Most of their aim was revenge. They thought that if they became friends with me I wouldn't mind braking a few bones for their sake.

They got what they wanted, bones got broken too bad it was theirs this made me learn not to worry about people and not to expect people to worry about me. But this man front of me was making me start to rethink it all I knew letting my guard down would cost me but I couldn't do anything in my current condition so I just let myself at his mercy. He fixed my pillow before helping me into a comfortable upright position.

"Be careful young man you don't want to work up your body again and put yourself in an almost critical condition." He placed his hand on my forehead then nodded his head as if approving of something his face suddenly became more concerned as if he realized something really concerning.

"Are you hurt anywhere? Sorry am so stupid I forgot to check you for any injuries" He asked as he lifted up the covers and inspected my legs then arms.

"No, am fine I don't have any physical injury but my back does hurt"

"would you mind showing me your back so I can see what we are dealing with?"

I shock my head and turned to show him my back. I could feel another pair of eyes on my back as the man lifted my shirt and wondered in the guy couldn't just leave because he didn't seem of any help since I woke up.

"What the hell happened to your back this seems so recent? Wait don't tell me that this idiotic nephew of mine did this? CHRISTOPHER! " He turned to the older guy who I now knew his name and their relationship 'Chris' that name didn't suit him at all.

"l..I don't now what your talking about I just.." He knew he was the cause of my back pain and now he wanted to deny it wow why am I not surprised. I was not in the mood for family drama so I took the blame for him but he's gonna payback nothing if for free.

"No, mister it's not his fault I just bumped my back onto the lockers in the class room"

"oh, where are my manners my name is Christopher, Chris in short just like this grumpy face over here" he elbowed his nephew on side

"Come on uncle Chris not in front of a stranger"

"What its true and he can already tell your a grumpy face can't you son?" I nodded and even managed to give him a small smile. What is happening to me?

"what should I call you son?"

"Alex"

"Well Alex I didn't happen to come a cross anything that would help with your back right now but I think I have something in the truck that could help so am afraid I have to leave you under the care of my nephew for a while, but don't worry his all bark but no bite." he said the last part with a wink.

He handed me a glass of water and some painkillers to help with the pain in the min time and then left the room. Now it just me and Chris this is gonna be a long few minutes.

"So ALEX!" here we go again

"Can I help you with anything CHRIS?"
