Four
'That is a tall ass building' I think to myself.
The silver windows of the skyscraper reflects off of the sunlight, giving it a bit of a glimmer. The black sleek look it shows makes it scream 'business' and intimidates me in a mocking way.
I follow behind Danny and Carter as we enter through the doors of the nutritious building.
Danny leads us towards the elevator doors. The area is filled with men in the same black suit and persnickety air.
As the elevator doors chime open a crowd of men whisk themselves into the small box. We join in, squeezing our way to the back of the confinements of the elevator.
The men begin to push the buttons to their wanted destination. Most of them were lower levels.
"Can someone press 102 please." Danny's proper voice booms.
The men all look at the three of us with a look of disgust. One of them finally presses the button to the top floor.
"Thank you." Danny snaps back at the men who look at us like vultures look at their prey.
My palms begin to sweat and I try to rub them together to ease my anxiety.
"What's wrong with you?" Carter whispers at me.
"I'm... I'm kind of afraid of... you know... heights." I reply nervously.
Danny looks at me with a half smile. "Don't worry, we're here for you. Nothing will happen."
I looked at Danny, his smile was comforting. He was so sweet and proper and gave off this pleasant aura.
He was starting to grow on me for a guy I met nearly an hour ago.
Slowly but surely, the crowd in the elevator began to thin out. By the time we made it to floor 56, we were the only one's left.
The elevator moved up each floor rather quickly. I watched as the black and red monitor would change numbers every time we went up a floor.
61
62
63
64
65
My stomach began to churn as we went, higher, and higher up.
81
82
83
84
85
I could feel a hand be placed on my shoulder, as if for a bit of comfort. I feel Carters reassuring grip and I side eye him, giving him a tad bit of a smile back.
Guess he was growing on me too.
The elevator made a ping sound and stopped. The doors wheezed open so we could step out. Danny began to look around the area frantically.
"Where is..." he trailed off.
His eyes darted towards a boy looking out the huge window.
Danny proceeded to walk forward towards this unknown stranger.
Something told me he wasn't going to be a stranger for long.
Danny tapped the guy on the shoulder. The guy was taken aback for a moment, stumbling on his own feet.
He was really tall. Like, over six feet. He had wild red hair and piecing green eyes. He had a really skinny and lanky frame with an awkward stance.
"You're Danny." The guy said pointing at my new British companion.
"That's correct." Danny put his hands in his pockets.
"Cool okay then. So you guys must be the rest of the Scooby gang."
I kind of laughed, Carter and Danny didn't.
"I'm Samantha," I extend my hand towards him. "But my friends call me Sam."
Danny and Carter gave me a displeasing look.
"What?" I ask. "This guy obviously is apart of this, I might as well be nice!"
"I'm Jaden, by the way." The red head said, returning my handshake.
"Pleasure." I hear Danny say.
"The name's Carter Hastings."
Jaden releases my hand and smiles at the other two boys.
"So, let's cut to the chase," Carter begins. "We can all do something weird, what can you do?"
"What do you mean?" Jaden shows a look of confusion, looking back and forth between the three of us.
"You don't know?" Danny questioned.
"Know what?" Jaden put is hands in the pockets of his blue jeans. His eyes widened with a bit of realization."Oh! You mean the whole waking up in a new place thing and hearing voices?"
"That's a start, yeah" I say with a nod of my head.
"Yeah, one minute I'm in Toronto, the next I'm in New York. Can't really explain it." He adds with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Toronto?" I question.
"Like, Canada?" Carter adds on.
"Yeah... is that a problem?"
"No," Danny interjects into the awkward conversation. "Not at all... but more importantly have you see anything weird? Have you seen a persons death, something that just happened, um, something that is going to happen?" Danny attempts to give examples of each of our 'gifts' as one may call it.
"No I haven't yet." His eyes widen. "Are we superheroes?! Are we the next Fantastic Four?!"
"Oh boy, nerd alert." Carter says rubbing his temples.
"Honestly, I would like to think that, but I highly doubt it." I tell Jaden, trying to explain the unknown.
"Well now what! Are we adding on to the pile of people!" Carter adds.
"Yeah, speaking of which, are you hearing any voices?" Danny looks at Jaden with a curious glint in his eye.
"No I haven't... should I be? Sorry I'm just very confused right now."
"Don't worry, we all are." I try to comfort Jaden, knowing the feeling of not knowing what is going on.
"So is this it?" Carter interjects again. "This is all the freaks? So now what do we do."
Before anyone could reply, an unfamiliar, yet familiar voice spoke from behind us.
"Maybe I can be of assistance by clarifying that."
