"If you don't stop, I'm gonna start stabbing sh!t." // A DSMP Fanfiction

Chapter 78

    I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" I asked, a bit confused at Ph1LzA's words. "You said you still think he lives in an abusive household, right?" He asked me, and I nodded. "Okay, so this theory might not be correct, but what if the people who live in his household are forcing him to have this job? Phantom, what did Timothy say about this job again?" He asked as he turned to Phantom, and Phantom thought hard. "Well, he said that he had to support his friends or something... still don't understand why his friends can't just go and get a job, from what Timothy said, it seems like they're toxic and lazy." Phantom said, and Ph1LzA nodded. "Wait... I just got another idea..." Ph1LzA said, and now he had Phantom's full attention.

    "What if... Timothy's friends are the ones abusing him? And his friends are forcing him to take this job because they're too lazy to do anything, and when Timothy gets paid, they forcefully take the money from him and spend it on themselves?" Ph1LzA said, and Phantom's eyes widened. "And his friends are vigilantes! So they take that money and use it to buy gear and stuff?" Phantom said, and Ph1LzA nodded as he thought. "Wait... It all fits together!" I muttered, and Phantom nodded. The voices were weirdly silent when I said this, usually, they would be yelling about something. "Well, we need to ask Purpled if he knows anything about his home life." Ph1LzA said, and I nodded in agreement, and so did Phantom.

    "What if Purpled is friends with Timothy because he knows the truth about Timothy? And he pities him so he befriended him, and he's helping Timothy escape his abusive household?" Ph1LzA asked, and I nodded as I turned back to the duo, who were talking about something and laughing. "It does make sense... hey Phantom, what are they talking about?" I asked Phantom and I could tell he was now listening closely.

&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&

    "Phantom, what are they talking about?" Blade asked me, and I started listening closely. "... A-And h-he tu-turned J-Jack i-into a w-woman!" I heard Timothy say in between laughs. "He's talking about someone becoming a woman?" I said, a bit confused. "Maybe that's a topic of interest for him? Maybe you can bring it up the next time you two talk?" Blade said, and I nodded.

    "Remember, he seems like a stubborn kid, so you've got to keep your cool and remain patient. You have got to get close to him, he could be our key to defeating the vigilantes once and for all!" Blade said, and I nodded. "Ok..." I said as I stared at the two, who were now laughing so hard they were probably crying. "Well, lunch break ends soon, let's finish up then we'll call Purpled into our main office." Ph1LzA said, and Blade and I nodded in agreement.

&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&

    I finished my lunch and punched Tommy's shoulder for no reason, and he stared at me. "What?" I said smugly, then he returned the punch. I blankly returned the punch and so did he. We got into a mini fight, but then the lunch bell rang, making us stop. "I'll see you after work?" I said to him, and to an outsider or stranger, it might seem like he was going to meet up with me, but he and I knew that it meant I was offering to patrol with him tonight. He grinned and nodded, then gave me a two-finger salute. After we went our separate ways, I got a ding on my phone. I checked it, and it was Ph1LzA.

    "Hey, can you meet me and the SBI in our main office?" The text said, and I replied "Yes.". I went to the elevator, was greeted warmly by Sam Nook, returned the warm greeting, and then looked at some things on my phone while I waited to arrive at the SBI floor. The elevator dinged soon and the doors opened. I made my way to the office door and knocked, a bit nervous. "Come in!" A voice said, and I slowly opened the door to see the SBI seated at a large table, and I went inside and quietly closed the door behind me. They all looked at me and greeted me through their actions. Blade gave me a nod, Ph1LzA gave me a warm smile, and Phantom nodded. "Sit down!" Phantom said encouragingly, and I sat down on the chair closest to me. I was almost sweating with nervousness. Ph1LzA gave me an encouraging smile and I smiled back. Phantom then started speaking.

"Look, Purpled, we know your secret."
