[A/N TWO MONTHS LATER]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"RAAAAANDOLPH! IIIIIII'M BAAAAAACK!"

Oh crap. McDarrel. Not again. Over the past two months, he had been back three times, each time interrogating me, only to get a mysterious text message, beat him up. and run off with his henchmen, threatening to blow us up if we tried to tell anyone.

"RAAAANDYYYYY! I'M HERE TO PLAAAAYYY!"

Crap. He did NOT sound happy. He must mean it this time.

"RAANDOOOLPH! COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!!"

Time to go.

I grabbed Saryna and told her to be quiet, not to worry, and that I would be fine. We practically flew down the stairs, skipping every two steps, but quietly, and ran into the living room, where McDarrel usually showed up. As soon as we walked in, the same routine ensued.

"Okay, Cobalt, you know the drill. You too, Kameron."

"Let's just get this over with,' I sigh.

"Oh, no," he replied, "this time, I have ensured that there will not be any distractions. I WILL find out where it is, as I've forgotten where you told me it was. But enough of that."

SLAP! He hit Sar in the face again, enraging me, and I forced myself to look away and bite my lip so that I wouldn't freak out again. because we wouldn't want what happened last time to happen.

"Now. tell me, Randy. Where is the 'merchandise'?"

"I've told you before. Maybe you should get your hearing and memory checked. I think you're getting too old for this job." It wasn't a lie. His hair was graying and he was starting to wrinkle. His posture was no longer the straight pole it had been back in the day...

SMACK! "That is why you don't insult me. Your girlfriend here is gonna get it every time you back-talk me."

"I have told you. She is not my girlfriend! She is my sister!"

"Bull crap! You know she is much more to you than a sister! You two don't even have the same last name! I have seen you two! Espescially when you were back on the job!"

"Don't EVER talk about those times EVER again!"

"DO NOT tell me what to do!"

"You leave Saryna alone, and I'll do whatever you want! Just leave her alone! Please!" By this time, I was bawling my eyes out. "Just-just leave her alone!" ~sniff~sob~"leave-leave her-leave-" I couldn't go on. I couldn't stop crying. Saryna was screaming under her gagger, probably trying to tell me not to do it.

Suddenly, I was aware of my manliness dying away. I could feel it disappearing, evaporating. I stopped, and calmed down.

"Is-is it a deal?" I asked.

"You know what? Fine. Let her go," McDarrel said to two of his henchmen. "Take her upstairs and lock her in her room. GO. Now. Where were we? Ahh, yes. Where is the 'merchandise', Randolph?"

"It's...it's in a plastic bag, underneath the bed in the guest bedroom." I sighed and slumped in the henchman's hold as I said this. "Go check for yourself. It's there." Defeated, I stood up, turned my head, and whispered to McDarrel as he walked out of the living room, "The pact. You forgot the pact."

The room went black.

[A/N Sorry this was so boring! It was pretty much a filler chapter, and it's getting you ready for the next chapter...

Soo..... they have different last names. Cobalt and Kameron. Which one's which though?

We STILL have no idea what Saryna and Randolph are to each other. What are they?

Was the 'merchandise' actually under the guest room bed?

WHAT IS THE 'MERCHANDISE'???

What pact is Randolph talking about?

What job(s) did McDarrel and Randolph preform together?

Why do I love asking so many questions at the ends of these?

(Because I love to see your responses! Example below)

Example response:

1. Sar is Smith*, Randy is Brown*

2. Mother/Son*

3. MAAYYBBEE*

4. Itsa loafa bread*
