Dangerously Unusual novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

That night when I finally got home, I went straight to my room. Kloe was sleeping out.

I cried and cried. Never had I been so afraid. I couldn't find sleep because of the paranoia.

When Kloe had called earlier, I had to lie to her, saying the interview had gone well. I'd succeeded in passing my article to the professor but still, I wasn't at peace. How could I be?

Unable to find sleep, at 3 AM, I climbed out of my bed and headed towards the room's window to look down at the empty campus roads.

"What the hell?" I gasped in fear after looking out the window. I could've sworn there was someone standing out there, staring at me.

The person was tall, very tall, and huge. He wore a black hat that covered his face and a long black jacket or coat that reached his feet. He raised his head and looked at me. I couldn't make out his face.

"Jesus!" I gasped and immediately stepped away in fear. It had to be one of them! One of Antonio's people!

"This can't be happening..." I stated in shock. This means he had ordered for me to be spied on. Or worse, Killed!

Swallowing hard, I approached the window again. But the person had vanished!

I stayed up all night until the next day. I freshened up and made sure to attend my last class as a university student.

After that, I left school and took a cab to Central prison. This time I went as a visitor, making sure my uncle nor some familiar guards did not know I was around.

I asked to meet Anthonio Caruso and the officer in charge stared at me like I was crazy.

"Do you know him?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah."

"Who is he to you?"

"A friend."

"Friend??" the officer asked in clear surprise.

"Um, yeah."

"Are you on his list of visitors?"

"List??"

"Yes."

"Uh, I don't know."

"Hold on."
