Chapter 7: John

Chris leads them out of the school and begins to run them behind alleys worried of the fighting but in a useless attempt a masked man appears in front of them

"Who're you!" Chris says as they all stop and look at the man in front

"Hmm, Who am I indeed.." The man states

"Maybe, I'm your enemy... Maybe I'm your friend." The man says in a questioning tone

"Friend or Foe, Move out of the way! Can't you hear the explosions!" Chris states staring at the man

"Oh, Explosions... You mean explosions like this." The man says while snapping his fingers

(BOOM)

An explosion goes off near the five startling the four of them

"What did you do!" Lily says worried

"Haha, Don't you worry. I missed on purpose this time, Why don't the four of you come with me." The man says laughing

"Cut that! We don't even know your name, Or whether you're friend or foe!" Chris states in a serious manner hiding his worriedness

"Oh, Forgive me, I have yet to introduce my name.. The names John, I am friendly." John says with a smile on his face

"Ok... Lead the way, John.." Chris says as the other three look at him saying "What! How are you convinced hes actually good!"

"Just... Follow my lead." Chris says quietly

John leads the way and walks out of the alleyway which he turns around and the four are gone

"Oh, those kids need to be disciplined..." John says menacingly

"Come! This way!" Chris says as he leads them through backyards

"Oh! You never actually believed he was a friend! You had me worried!" Lily says to Chris

"I'm smarter than you think. I think" Chris says as they hop fences

(BOOM)

The four of them hear an explosion west of them

"That sounded like it was to the right! So, Lets go left!" Chris says

The four of them hop fences as they reach an apartment complex which is quiet

"Weird... Why is it quiet there's always people doing drugs here.." Chris says quietly to the three

"How do you know this?? Do you do drugs Chris don't tell me you do drugs" Lily says concerned

"No idiot, there's a sign right there which says 'NO TRESPASSING' its been there since this place was abandoned ten years ago. Its an obvious place to do whatever you want." Chris says to Lily

"Yes, Yes, An obvious place to do whatever you want. No one goes by here! Its a perfect crime place" A voice comes from behind them

The four look behind them and see John standing tall-

"JOHN!" Chris says as they all back up

"Thats me." John says laughing

"You kids ran away, We were gonna have a fun time and sing songs... But it seems you need discipline.." John says as he walks towards the four
