Chapter Two

It was a 45 minutes drive to the old garage. the garage, a former mega mechanic workshop that was shut down bout nine years back became event center for college kids and high school party place. just as Greg parked his wrangler outside, he discovered the gate was open. the chain used to bound the place was broken leaving the padlock dangling. "dre sure isn't here yet. His car isn't..." Breaking the loud thoughts of Greg, Andre pulled his dodge challenger Over.

"What's wrong Greg?" he asked as he came down, holding a big bag. "The gate is open. someone's here already" Greg replied, not looking up. "yeah, someone sure is" Andre said, pointing inside the compound. Greg then noticed the green Ford Edge parked almost hidden from plain sight. "Josh" Greg said, in a deep hushing tone. Andre noticed the anger in his voice but didnt wanna talk about it, at least not right now.

just as they were about to go through the gate, They noticed another black Mercedes driving in from the other gate. They couldn't tell who it was so they just walked straight into the building. they heard a couple of laughs and Andre noticed Chloe's and Dawn's voices. he was quite pissed to bones but he said nothing as he and Greg walked into the garage. just inside, the went upstairs to a big totally empty space. They dropped their stuffs just before greg sat on the window panel. He stared outside, in utmost silence, andre could read greg's mind. The Cars they saw definitely pissed him off cause there was certainty that Chloe was with him. Andre was annoyed too but he just acted normal cause it'll look somehow if both of them should be down.

"Bro, let's get started" Greg finally said, breaking the silence. andre, quite startled by the way Greg jumped down from the window, stood up and open his golf bag. Greg put all the whole thing together, piece by piece, He then started up the little machine which Andre once named S.P.E.N.C.E.R Which means Special Engine for Cummulative Exothermal Remissions. the little machine, looking like a raft boat was strong enough to power up fourteen houses for fifteen minutes. it could last more but it was powered by only one thing called the Vican which isn't strong to last long. Neither Greg nor Andre knew the strength of the shorf so they brought three vicans.

"Are you sure bout this, Greg?" Andre asked just as Greg placed the shorf unto SPENCER. "we'll see about that, bro" Greg replied as s smile lit up his face. just then, Chloe and down walked in. "Jeez, what's that?" Chloe asked, staring at the shorf as the ring began turning, emitting a blue light. "Just something we came up with" Andre replied, refusing to look at both girls as he was rather shy. "whoa. y'all are sure smart lasses" Dawn said, in abstract amazement. Then the speed of the shorf's ring started increasing. "what's wrong bro?" Andre asked Greg, who was trying to see what's going on. The speed became really fast and and the color changed from blue to red. "come on man, what's going on?" Andre pressed on. "I don't know. seems the vican is overreacting. I don't understand" Greg yelled, searching his bagpack few seconds before he and chloe was sucked in by the shorf. "Oh My Gosh?!" Dawn screamed "chloeee!". "Get yourself togeth..." before Andre could finish his statement, He and Dawn were Sucked in too by the shorf, leaving the entire space empty. The Shorf shut down immediately but the ring still had a dark red color.

Josh and Matthew Hawkins ran upstairs to the area of Dawn's scream. When they got there, all they saw was a still rolling shorf before it then stopped. "What happened here?" Matthew asked, bending down to pick Dawn's hair bonnet. "she's definitely not here", josh said in a deep husky voice. "oh boy. this sure looks alien'ish" josh Said, pointing at the Shorf. "We've got to tell the school. this isn't cool" Matthew replied, moving towards the shorf. "we ain't telling no one yet" josh said.

"we have to. we've got no choices" Matthew said, panicking.

"we'll be detained for coming here. do you want that?"

"at least its better than two girls missing and we ain't got noone helping in looking for them"

"let's get going then. but you'll go to report alone. i can't be a part of this charade"

"But isnt she your girlfriend?"

"she's just someone I share time with. I've got a real girlfriend, dude. not some kid from high school" josh said. Matthew, shocked to bones by josh words, simply stood up and went downstairs. passing through the front this time, he noticed the two vehicles outside the garage's gate. "Yo josh. Come see this" Matthew called out, walking towards the gate, as josh came running. "its Gregory's SUV" Matthew said as they got to the parked vehicles. "and Andre's" josh added, recognizing Andre's car. "Now we've got to tell everyone. they've done something to our girls" josh concluded. "thought you didnt want that" Matthew said. "Its time for my revenge on Andre" josh scowled, bringing out his phone from his trainsuit trouser. Josh hated Andre ever since Andre gave him a hard thrashing two years back. it was a basketball game against Cougers of Garfield High and andre was the captain of the school team. josh was substituted in at late minutes and didnt play enough thereby pissing him off. he then faced Andre just outside the place to question his actions but Andre ignored him. out of annoyance, he punched Andre but in quick reflexes, Andre guarded himself and charged at josh, throwing heavy punches on his face. they were finally separated when josh started bleeding from both nostrils, eyebrows and lips.

"so all this for revenge, yeah?" Mathew asked, amazed. "sort of" josh answered. running towards back to the garage where he parked. "ain't you coming?" josh asked, looking back. "I'll meet you tomorrow at school. get going" Matthew replied, walking slowly towards him.
