Chapter One 2/4

_{(Click here for previous part)}

"Thirteen bottles of beer on the wall"

"Plan B?" Jordan and Tommy inquired in perfect harmony.

"Yes," Adam responded quickly. "We're gonna need Johnny."

Jordan's face lit up with excitement, while Tommy and Barry's appeared anxious.

"Can someone get Johnny quickly?"

Barry looked at the other two, then nodded at Adam and swiftly ran off into the darkness.

"Wake the guys up, Tommy, and stay here in case anything goes wrong." Adam stepped closer to him as he spoke. "Be ready for anything." He warned.

"Okay, but be fucking careful, will ya?" Tommy pleaded, before turning away.

"Always," Adam responded, while scoping the area to be sure that he and Jordan were now alone.

Jordan began to pace back and forth enthusiastically, clapping his hands together as if preparing himself for a brawl. "What's the plan then, Adam?"

Adam turned and looked down at Jordan. "You're going to come with me. Now."

Jordan's face screwed up with confusion. "What?" He complained. "What's the plan?"

"It doesn't matter what the plan is, Jordan." Adam responded, in a more assertive tone this time. "Just get ready to go quickly."

Jordan became infuriated. "I don't know who the fuck you think you are, Adam." He barked. "But, you're not the boss of me."

Adam forced a laugh out his mouth, directing it straight at Jordan's ego. "Grow up, mate. Just do it."

The boy became even more agitated and stepped too close to Adam in a threatening manner. "Are you really going to do this now?" He asked, almost panting in rage.

Adam looked him back in the eyes, and then glanced down to notice Jordan's clenched fist. "We don't have time for this shit, Jordan. Are you coming or not?"

Jordan pulled away and turned around to face the exit. "Fuck you," he bellowed, whilst spinning back around to face Adam. "I'm staying here," he decided, whilst marching off towards the back of the room. "If shit goes down, I'll be needed here." He muttered angrily, whilst storming off to join the others.

"Sorry," Adam whispered, whilst closing his eyes to reconsider their options.

"Sorry for what?" Replied Barry, approaching with Johnny's towering frame following behind. "Where's the others gone?"

"They're staying here," Adam replied dismissively. "It's just us." He stepped forward to greet Johnny with a hand shake, pulling him towards him and patting him on the back three times with an embrace. "How are you, mate?"

Johnny pointed at his throat to signal that he was unable to talk right now. But he stuck a thumb up and let out a impish smile as an irrational amount of smoke began to escape his nose and mouth, filling the room around them.

Adam laughed a second before Barry. "Well at least one of us has had a good time in this place."

"Too fucking right." Added Johnny, now able to speak. "What's going on then?"

"I'll explain on the way," said Adam, whilst unlocking the door. "But, you're not gonna like it."
