Mr. Callahan grumbled. “You’ve got one minute. I’m affording you some trust.” He gripped his gun tighter. “Don’t make me regret it.” With that ominous threat looming in the air, I took care of my business quickly and efficiently, while also scanning the small room for anything that might be of use in this situation….

“Wait, what do you mean they were poisoned?” I said to Ace down the phone. “I ate the same as them and I’m fine.” I remembered Thomas and Elliot telling me their pizza tasted weird, but that didn’t mean they were poisoned. Ace was just being dramatic because he didn’t like that I was alone….

“heat,” but that didn’t matter so long as it convinced Robert that I was alone and not to hurt my brother. “My parents left me in charge.” I looked at his gun, which he was still pointing at Thomas’s head. “Please. ?Please don’t hurt my brothers.” Robert’s nostrils flared. An icy manacle wrapped itself around…
