PROJECT VOID. (Based on the mobile game)

COMING CLOSE

NICHOLAS (POV)

It was a tracking device..

Before I knew it there was a gun shot that missed my shoulder by an inch.
It zoomed so fast that I heard the wind around it as it flew past my arm. I got down as fast as I could, keeping my breathing steady, not wanting to take the slim chance of surviving if I tried to check from where the shot came.

I ran back into building, slammed the door shut and called the first number I could think of...

"Nicholas?"

"Detective Stone..." I spoke making my way back upstairs but stop at the kitchen to grab two knives.

" Black suits again, they actually went to the party" I zoom into our dorm room.

"But this time they're violent, Alyssa, Jake and the rest are spread out across the place and Angela doesn't know if they're alright..." Panic lacing my voice.

"Alright, is that all ?" She says hurriedly as if she's in a rush.

"Back here at the dorm... there was a shot that missed me by an inch and I found a tracking device at the boot area of the car" I jumped on top my bed , opening my window as wide as it could go.

"Shit, must be from the mall incident" she cursed.

"Alright, I'm sending people your way , make sure to get outta there before then and send me their location we're coming over"
She finishes.

"Already on it" I finally cut the call standing on the edge of my window, I jump off and land rolling on the ground till I'm on my feet.

I run fast and deep into the nearest forest I could find and placed the tracking device on a random tree.

As I run back out I dial Angela's number again.
I wait for her to answer...

"Nich?"

"Hey bab- Angie" I stopped myself, realizing my ex would call me nich on the phone, I was too used to answering her like that. Thought I had fixed that shit already.

"Fuck" I accidentally said out loud.

"Nich? Are you ok?" She said softly, I'm guessing they're still hiding.

"Oh yeah, don't worry about me, are you guys alright?" I ask running faster now to see if I can get a ride on the main road.

" Yeah, we're doing alright, there's good news and bad news" she says.

"Ok, gimme the bad news first" I said wanting all the problems first so I can soften the blow with good news.

"Bad news is , black suits are doing a wider search and are now checking the rooms. They started from top to prevent anyone escaping or running though we still have some time." She said.

"I'm on way with detective Stone, you guys hang in there" I assure her my voice calm.

"That's good to hear" she says sounding more calm than the last call. A part of me seething, hoping it has nothing to do with that fuck-boy.

"Good news, apparently detective Stone gave the boys communicators that are like earpieces. We were able to reach Damian, Alyssa and Tiffany, they managed out of the building but are hiding in a nearby neighborhood." She said.

"That's good, very good" I said , of course Damian was fine he always was, why did I doubt him? I wiped a traitorous tear from my eye.

"I'm gonna have to go now, I need a lift to get to you guys, I'll see you there" I said.

"A lift? Why not the car?" She asked as I realized I hadn't explained.

"I'll explain everything to you once you're all safe,ok?" I asked.
