Chapter 14: Convicts See All and Hear All
It was around the afternoon. We were simply driving around town trying desperately to come up with a plan. Our Назад ideas weren't all that good. Many of the ideas included us going to look for Dr. Hyde since he was our main suspect. Raven and I shot down that idea. If we did go and find Dr. Hyde, what would that accomplish? Dr. Hyde is a villainous man. I am sure he wouldn't be able to be fooled by spies in training. We would end up getting zero amount of information from him. He knows me and Raven. He knows what side we have chosen. Darrell was still stuck on the idea even after I told them of the possible scenarios. Courtney insisted we go back to school. Raven and I both knew why that was a horrible idea. We decided not to share the info about the cannibals to the rest of the group. We were still unsure about everything ourselves.
"If we do try to go after Dr. Hyde," сказал(-а) Raven. "Then we would need additional info and plus we need tactics on how to take him down."
"He has еще experience with combat and sneaking around," I said. "We would have to be one step ahead of him."
"We can't automatically assume that Dr. Hyde is behind all of this," сказал(-а) Darrell. "He might be a villain but he isn't the only one. There are tons of bad guys out there that could be the reason behind all of this chaos."
"That's true but Dr. Hyde is the only one on our suspects list," I replied.
"And why is that?" Darrell challenged me but it meant so much more. He had doubts. Not only in me but with my plan.
"Because he has always been a particular enemy with my father. I have known long enough who would want to kill my father and who would careless about him."
"I think I know where we can go to find some knowledge on Dr. Hyde," Raven said. There was uneasiness in her tone which Courtney was the only one who picked up what she was hinting at. Darrell and I were clueless about it.
"But Raven," whispered Courtney. She was trying hard for us not to hear her. "Once Ты do this, Ты can't go back."
"I am aware of that," whispered Raven before she continued talking loudly again. "My mother knows a great deal about villains and heroes. I am sure she can tell us what we need to know about Dr. Hyde."
"It's worth a try but honestly, what could she possible tell us? She is a convict." Darrell looked uneasily at all of us as he сказал(-а) this.
The glass was the only thing keeping Mrs. Millan and the rest of us separate. Raven had дана us the directions to the prison her mom was confined in and it was in the other direction of Dr. Hyde's house. It was worth the extra gas if it meant one step close in finding my father's kidnapper. Raven sat in the chair as her mother sat on the other side of the glass Стена with a telephone in her hand. The two have been staring each other down for at least two минуты now. Neither was talking. It was awkward standing there watching the golden blonde beauty stare at her black haired, mysterious daughter.
After a few еще moments of nervous shuffling and awkward silence, her mom сказал(-а) the first word. "What do Ты want?" She sputtered. There was no 'hello' или 'how have Ты been lately'. They didn't even try to cover up their hatred for one another.
"Information." Raven stated through gritted teeth.
"And why would I tell Ты this much needed information. Ты don't care for me anyways," сказал(-а) her mother. This reminded me of the arguments I use to get in with my stepmother. Although, we were a lot еще hostile towards one another and there was еще yelling. "You don't come by here unless Ты need something."
"Well, this is important," Raven said.
"Elaborate,"
"McKenna's father has been kidnapped или dadnapped. She wants to find him and we have some leads but we need your knowledge before we continue."
"Why should I care about McKenna's dad," сказал(-а) Raven's mom. "You do realize that I have no interest in her или her father."
"Okay, maybe Ты didn't hear me right. McKenna Armstrong is the daughter of the famous Byron Armstrong. I am sure with some reasoning he could free Ты from jail, if Ты had somehow helped."
A tiny spark appeared on her eyes. We had her hooked. She stared at me with еще interest then disgust. I didn't like how her beady eyes seem to scan me inside and out. "What do Ты need to know?" She never took her eyes off of me.
"Do Ты know something about a Dr. Hyde?" Courtney сказал(-а) she snatched the phone from Raven.
"I do know he has been recruiting others for his diabolical scheme. Last I heard, he was working on a project that would make our government seem foolish. I think he wants to destroy our democracy and turn it communist." Her mom just shrugged as the guard behind her tapped his watch. Apparently, these sessions are timed.
"Do Ты know what he is up to?" Courtney asked with her face coming awfully close to the glass wall. "He has to be up to something. I have tons of theories. My first theory was that he actually wanted all of the human race to be wiped out so he could start a new race filled with green Дети from different planets but that wouldn't be possible. He would actually have to go up to Космос and get the aliens himself."
"Look doll face," interrupted Raven's mom. "Your mouth better shut it before I come through this glass and permanently shut it for you, got me?"
Courtney nodded like a hyperactive squirrel.
"Oh an another thing," I said. "What is the history between my father and Dr. Hyde. I know a little bit about them but my father has nothing to do with Dr. Hyde. They are apart of two different categories of the law."
For a moment she just smiled like she knew the dirtiest secret. "I know that Dr. Hyde plans on doing something diabolical but don't ask me how I know. If Ты want anymore information I'm sure your friend over there can tell Ты plenty." She pointed towards Darrell who I had completely forgotten was here. She rose from her сиденье, место, сиденья as the guard took her away. I could almost hear her witching laughter.

Power
Ты are possessed
By this world
This so called better future
Is destroying you
At what cost
The fame или the fortune
It isn't worth it
Haven't Ты seen
The corruption
Power brings
Too much of a good thing
Becomes worthless in the end
Don't be like that
Help yourself
Save yourself from this
This unplanned future
Power brings one thing
Death
There is no way around it
It will soon take over
It will become your life
This power that Ты long for
Shall be a death sentence for you
I wish Ты luck
I hope Ты see the way
The way I speak of
How power isn't healthy
And not apart of your diet
Turn away
From the temptation
That power can bring
Forget it
Forget everything
The money
The fame
The power
Don't look back
Behind Ты is the head
The head of evil
The head of power
Ты are possessed
By this world
This so called better future
Is destroying you
At what cost
The fame или the fortune
It isn't worth it
Haven't Ты seen
The corruption
Power brings
Too much of a good thing
Becomes worthless in the end
Don't be like that
Help yourself
Save yourself from this
This unplanned future
Power brings one thing
Death
There is no way around it
It will soon take over
It will become your life
This power that Ты long for
Shall be a death sentence for you
I wish Ты luck
I hope Ты see the way
The way I speak of
How power isn't healthy
And not apart of your diet
Turn away
From the temptation
That power can bring
Forget it
Forget everything
The money
The fame
The power
Don't look back
Behind Ты is the head
The head of evil
The head of power
