Tom groaned sitting up. Edd was sat at the end of his feet looking bored. Tom smirked "Professor Why?", Edd nodded drinking some cola. Tom turned to watch the awful show pain shooting through his head. Edd passed him a glass of water, Tom thanked him. " Where's Matt?", "He went shopping, I may have used you as an excuse to not go" Edd said nervously, Tom chuckled. Edd turned off the tv, "Tom, we've been friends for so long, you've always trusted me with things that have bothered you. Please, tell me why you're being so secretive. Why are you covered in cuts?".
"I fell" Tom swallowed hard, the statement was true but he still felt like a deer in headlights. "How did you fa-" Edd was cut off by a clicking sound, Edd stared in horror as the doorknob to the apartment jiggled around forcefully. "Edd?" Tom waved his hand in front of Edd to no response, "Its probably Matt" Tom stood up stumbling a bit, Edd grabbed his arm keeping him in place. "Matt always announces his arrival..." Tom admittedly was a little scared by this, "I'll just look through the peep hole" Tom replied with fake confidence. Edd nodded letting Tom silently slip to the door, Tom held his breath and looked through the hole. It was definitely not Matt, all Tom could see was a black hood, looked like a raincoat. Tom stumbled back. In all his time with Tord's army he had only had one training session, it was with Tord in his office and lasted only five minutes.
Edd whispered "What did you see Tom", Tom turned to face his taller friend " N-Not Matt".
