Him

Chapter 8: Caught

Caitlin's POV
Everything happened so fast, that I didn't even know what had happened after we got caught. All I knew was that we ended up in a room. Felicity was laying down on the bed sleeping. I slowly got up and looked around. The window was closed, but I could see that we weren't in the same place. I also saw that my car was here, too. I checked if the door was open, but it was locked. Great. I walked over to Felicity and tried to wake her up.

"Felicity, Wake up!" I whispered. A few seconds later she was slowly getting up.

"What happened?" she asked and looked around the room. "Where are we?"

"I don't know, I woke up and this is where we were," I say. Then I heard someone was trying to unlock the door. I held onto Felicity, as she did with me. The door opened and it was Oli.

"Oli?" Felicity says. "What are you doing here? Are you saving us?" she asked happily, but the expression on his face said the opposite. He opened the door wider and Barry came in. He closed the door and walked closer to us.

"Barry? okay, What is going on here?" I say confused, but then I started remembering what we had heard back at the old abandoned place. I sat up straight and said, "You're a gang leader."

"No way, that can't be right! Right?" Felicity says doubting herself.

"I am and you two were snooping around where you shouldn't have," he says.

"I'm sorry, we won't do it again and we won't tell anyone about this, promise," I say trying to get out of a bad situation.

"What am I gonna do about you two?" he says talking to himself and walking back and forth.

"I mean you can let us go," Felicity says looking down and trying not to make eye contact with Barry.

"Maybe, or I can hold you, hostage, here," he says and looks at us dead serious, but then he starts chuckling. "You should see your face right now! It was priceless!" and we just stare at him. He stopped laughing and said, "Sorry. Okay, I'll let you two go, but if I hear that you're saying things, you'll regret it, okay?"

"Yes, sir," Felicity says and I look at her. "What he's the boss," she says and I smile at her.

"Can we leave now?" I ask.

"Yes, and you should know that you've been here for two hours."

"What two hours! My mom must be freaking out!" I say.

"I texted her saying you were staying at Felicity's house and Felicity I texted your mom that you were staying at her house," he says and started to leave.

"Thanks!" I yell out.

"No problem!" he yells back.

"Okay, this is weird," Felicity says. "I didn't think that you coming here would make things so much exciting!"

"This is... Okay, I don't know what this is, but it's definitely dangerous to stick around Barry, so... let's just go," I say and we get out of the room to see that there were a lot of people here. "Who do you think these people are?" I asked.

"I don't know, workers?" she says.

"We protect the families of those who work for Barry," someone says behind us and we turn around. "Hi, I'm Jackson."

"I'm Caitlin and this is my friend, Felicity," I say.

"Hi," Felicity says and smiles.

"So you two were the ones who were spying on Barry," he says.

"Well, I wouldn't say spying on him, I'd say trying to get to know more about him, I guess," I say adding a big smile at the end.

"So... stalking," he says smirking.

"Pretty much," Felicity says and I nudge her with my elbow. "Oww, it's the truth," she says and Jackson laughs.

"Follow me," he says and we do as he said. As we walked down the stairs, we saw people playing around, watching tv, and there were even kids, too. "We have about 200 families or more, I don't even know, but yeah," he says.

"Wow, and Barry runs this?" I ask and he nods. "What about his parents?" I asked.

"They were killed by another gang leader," he says. "They were really good people, so Barry took over and it's a very hard job, but he is very good at it. He got it from his father."

"How is he living alone, without anyone questioning it?"

"He has an older brother, he's his guardian now, but they don't get along, so they don't live together," Jackson says.

"Oh, yeah, Dylan," I say.

"Yeah. Okay, here are your keys, you are free to go," he says. "Nice meeting you two," he waves and leaves.

"Bye!" Felicity and I yell.

"Okay, let's go, I kinda wanna go home, and forget this didn't happen," I say and we walk to the car. "Wait, I don't know where we are and I'm pretty sure Barry didn't give us our phone," I say and we walk back inside the... "Wow, from outside it looks beautiful."

"Yeah, it is, but Caitlin, we gotta go," she says and I nod. We head back inside the mansion and look for Barry. I saw Jackson and we ran towards him.

"Hey, we're looking for Barry," I say. "Do you know where he is?"

"Yeah, I'll be right back," he says. Felicity and I walked to the living room were there some kids watching tv. I sat down next to a little girl and so did Felicity.

"Hi, what's your name?" I asked the little girl.

"My name is Alice. Are you new here? I haven't seen you here before," she says.

"Well, you can say that," I say and I smile. She kept grabbing her hair because it was a bit tangled. "Can I do your hair?" I say. She smiles and nods. I started making a fishtail. Her hair was soft, a bit tangled, but when I finished she looked beautiful. "There you go."

"Thank you!" She runs off to her mom and shows her. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Barry.

"I see your making friends," he smiles.

"Yes, I am. Now, where are we? And, where's my phone?" I asked getting up from the couch.

"I'll have Jackson take you home and as for your phones, here," He says handing them to me. "I'll see you on Monday," he says.

"Bye," I say and we leave following Jackson to my car. After 40 minutes, we arrived at Felicity's house. "I'll see you Monday," I say and I hug her. She gets out of the car and waves goodbye. Jackson waved goodbye too and we leave to my house. "So, how are you heading back?"

"I'm walking to Barry's house," he answers.

"Oh, cool."

"So your friend, she's pretty," he says.

"Yeah," I smile. Someone has a crush. "Want her number?" I asked and he looked through the review mirror. He smirks and I take that as a yes. "Give me your phone," I say and he does. I put Felicity's number and handed it back to him. "Your welcome," I say and I noticed we had arrived. We got off the car and he handed me my keys. "Bye," I say and he says goodbye too. I walked in my house, quietly and head upstairs. I get into some Pjs and slowly I drift to sleep.
