Rise of a Hero Part 7

"Mortem, the Garden, possessing the masses… I really can't keep up with these wild tales." Hannah whispered, sitting at an old diner booth swirling her straw around mixing her milkshake. "I thought we were fighting the Syndicate family?"

"I knew you wouldn't believe me." Alton sighed, slouching back, picking at some chips. "Why did I even bother."

"Alright, humour me here. Let's say everything you said is true, and this Mortem can control and possess the masses easily; why are we hiding in a random café?"

Alton tapped the table making his point known. "Just because Mortem can possess the masses doesn't mean they know where we are. There's no way in hell we can go to the apartment or my school to hide it out. Nor anywhere else I've been before. This café is random for that exact reason. They'd have no reason to look for us here. Besides, I can't exactly go out there fighting again. We both need a time out."
