"Whistle"
Percy heard a familiar whistle as he dashed down the stair
He felt the dirt beneath his feet as he turned and ran to the left
"Thud"
The man kicked the door open and squinted his eyes as he looked through the dark
"damn brat!" He shouted into the darkness "you'll be sleeping outside tonight!" he went back inside
Taking out the key out of his pocket and locking the door
Tyson rubbed his hands together while Peter hugged himself
"Huff..huff..huff" Percy leaned against the wall as they stared at him
"Where are we going to sleep?" Peter turned to Tyson who was blowing on his own hands
Tyson shrugged "I don't know ask him" he looked at Percy who was still panting for air "they saw him run out the shelter its his fault"
Percy veins engorged "you fucking bastard" he lunged at Tyson and grabbed his shirt "you should have told us before doing that"
Tyson kept blowing his hands as he rubbed them together "yeah I'll do it next time but right now were late"
"Shit" Percy let go of Tyson and ran to the back
They ran alongside the wall then reached the back and Percy ran to the shacks that could barely be seen under the cover of the night then
"Thud"
They bumped into something that felt metallic and stumbled back
"Auch" Percy grouned and looked up
"What was that.." Tyson spoke then went quite as he looked up into the eyes of a man with familiar sparrow badge
"Your the kids we met in the morning" the man spoke as his eyes glowed blue yet the iris kept spinning as he stare down at them
"No sir" Peter shock his head and pushed his friends to the side, who stood there staring at the enforcers eyes
He grabbed their hands ready to run then another figure patted his shoulder
"Ok kid head home" he smiled at Peter
Peter nodded and ran off dragging Tyson and Percy, who had blank stares
"Wabble"
Tyson bumped into a metal sheet then into Percy and their blank expressions vanished
His head felt groggy, he turned to Peter while Percy kept shacking his head "what happened?"
"You looked into an enforcer eyes" Peter spoke in a hushed tone as he kept looking around then
"Who's there?" A voice came from the other side of the metal sheet they bumped into
Tyson head felt better then he saw Percy run off
"Followed me" Percy spoke as he turned right
They followed him as he ran past the shacks, down the narrow twisty path leading to the back streets of district 3 near the towering wall protecting them from radiation outside the dome
Percy stopped running and looked around then
He ran to a shack with bob wire around it and dim light that could barely be seen through the cracks
They climbed over the bob wire makeshift fance that seemed to be falling apart, Percy looked back at the other
"Guy once we do this there is no going back" Peter nodded to his words while Tyson raised an eye brow
"Percy if they are crazy we are not joining and its not up for discussion" Tyson stepped closer to Percy "and I don't mind dragging you back"
"Whatever" Percy spoke in a sharpe tone as he turned to the door
"Knock-knock"
"Bang"
"Knock"
Tyson jaw slacked as Percy knocked and kicked the door, Percy turned back on nudged his head to the back and Peter nodded
'Was that a secret code' Tyson felt stunned by the stupidity of their code 'if they are trying to keep this place a secret they suck at it'
Percy and Peter jumped the fence in the back of the shack while Tyson kept looking back at the shack
'What was the point of that knock' he jumped the fence as Percy walked to a shack that was barely standing and had no roof
They stepped inside the space that couldn't even fit there beds, they did their best not to bump into each other as they tried to move around
Tyson sighed as he looked at the stars then
"Skrr"
The metal sheet infront of Percy and Peter slide up revealing a stairway behind it
Percy and Peter smiled while Tyson eyes widened as he looked at Peters back
Percy smirked as he turned to Tyson, Peter walked past him to the metal sheet then
Percy eyes widened as well looking at the red flashing dot on Peters shoulder
Tyson grabbed Peters arm "hey did your shirt always have a flashing dot on the shoulder"
Peters head jacked back as looked at Tyson "what are you saying?"
"This Peter this?" Percy pulled the shirt and shoved it into Peters face
Peter eyes widened slightly as he shock his head
Tyson and Percy looked at each other then glanced at the stairway
"We can't let him go inside with that" Tyson spoke and Percy nodded
"Guys are your planning on leaving me behind" Peters eyes seemed watery
"No" Tyson turned to Peter "we have to figure out whats on your shoulder"
"Hey you fucking twerps stop wasting time and come down here!" a feminine voice climbed up the stairs and everyone froze as they looked at each other
"Lets leave" Percy lowered his tone as stepped away from the stairway
"And then what?" Tyson turned to Percy "if we leave they will blame us if something goes wrong"
"Don't jinx it" Percy glanced at the flashing dot "everything is fine and if something happens they will think it a coincidence"
"Drip"
Sweat dripped off Peters forehead to the dirt as he opened him trembling mouth "d..d..do you guyss think it..s a tra..ck.."
Before Peter could finish Tyson covered his mouth "shsss"
Tyson and Percy looked around for any cameras or devices in the shack but found nothing
Tyson turned to Percy and spoke in a hushed tone "we can't leave, if something goes wrong they'll come for us"
"You want us to go in there with that are you ins.." before Percy could finish they heard steps from the stairway
Their eyes dotted between each other and the flashing dot, Tyson gulped as he moved his mouth away from Peters mouth
"Percy these people killed an enforcer if we get on their bad side.. " Tyson didn't need to finish that statement everyone understood what he ment
Enforcers were figures that could never be harmed because of their cybortic bodies and because of this they were treated as if they were the law no one dared to glance at them the wrong way but
A few days ago a rumour spread around that an enforcer had been killed by Dex, this made anyone associated with Dex to be assumed as a threat and right now one of Dex associates was climbing up the stairs
"Drip"
Sweat raced down their foreheads as the steps loudened , if they ran they would be offending Dex crew and if they stayed there was a chance they would be fighting with the enforcers tonight
Tyson gulped "maybe the enforcers won't find us if we just throw the shirt away"
Their pulse raced as they understood if they threw the shirt away the enforcers would be at the orphanage tomorrow morning but if they didn't...
They felt their hearts beat out of their chest as they glanced to the stairs, their sweat dripping to the dirt as the steps loudened
"Do it" Percy turned to Peter "throw the shirt away"
Peter turned to Tyson and Tyson gave him a nod
"Clink"
Another step echod up the stair but this time their eyes widen as they saw black hair appear
Peter ran to the exit while Tyson and Peter moved to the walls
Their shirt partially damp, they took deep breaths to calm themselves as her head peeked out of the stairway
Her eyes furrowed as she glared at them yet they didn't bother to look at her as leaned against the metal sheets
"Why are you twerps just standing around" she everything she wore was leather and in black
Tyson jaw slacked as he stared at her legs held tight by her pants and Percy sighed as he looked at his gawking face
He turned to the lady "sorry miss our friend went out to pee" he shrugged his shoulders with a wavering smirked "or shit"
The lady narrowed her eyes as she stared at them then
A shirtless kid with a withered body ran inside struggling to breath
Her face twitched in disdain as she turned back to the stairs
