I've gotten to know everyone's names in these past few days. Not their real names but their code names. Everyone was treating me nicely, I guess. They gave me the necessities I needed but they still locked me in my room. At least it had its own bathroom.

David brought my guitar but I haven't played it. Maybe that would be a good idea. I picked the guitar up and sat on the edge of my bed. I placed it on my lap. Before I could start playing, someone opened the door into my room. It was Moo Snuckel.

"Hey, (Y/n). I just came to tell you that dinner's ready. We want you to come join us. Especially, Nogla," Moo said. I sighed. I looked at him funny but I decided not to question it.

"Alright, I'm coming," I said in monotone. I put my guitar to the side and got up to follow Moo.

When I walked into the dining room, mostly everyone was already seated in their seats and were joking around. I glanced at the door but looked away before I was tempted. Everyone had gone silent when they noticed me. I took a seat at the end of the table. It felt like I was about to get interrogated. David was in the kitchen getting all the food to set on the table. Moo Snuckel was helping him. Once they finished, they took their seats.

Everyone took their masks off except for Delirious. This was the first time I saw their actual faces. The only people who didn't wear masks in the whole group to begin with was Mini Ladd, Terroriser, and Nogla or David.

"What are you waiting for, Delirious?" Basically asked.

"Are you going to eat with your mask on or something?" Wildcat joked. Delirious rolled his eyes. I noticed his hairline was glistening slightly.

"What's all this about?" I asked.

"We've been talking for a few days now. Nogla proposed to recruit you in our group," Vanoss said. My eyes widened and my mouth opened a little. I looked towards David. "It's not what you think. I'm not recruiting you." I sat there slightly relieved.

"Can I propose something?" I asked.

"Go ahead," Vanoss said.

"Let me go and I won't turn you in," I said "Not that I was going to in the first place..." I mumbled.

"Absolutely not," he said.

"Are you serious, right now? This is fucking stupid, then," I said as I got up.

"Sit down," Vanoss said sternly while pointing his pistol at me. Everyone looked surprised except Wildcat. He looked amused.

"Wow, you really know how to piss someone off," I said as I sat back down. I'm not gonna lie. I was scared.

"What are you doing?" David asked Vanoss, worried.

"Everyone out," Vanoss ordered. They all got up and walked out the room. Mini helped Delirious walk out.

"Don't do anything stupid, Vanoss," Lui said before exiting out.

Vanoss put the pistol away and moved to the seat closest to me. He sighed and closed his eyes for a second. I scooted my seat a little bit away from him.

"I don't want to kill you. As much as you have been really annoying, you saved one of my closest friends. As much as I hate to say it, I guess, I owe you one. We all do," Vanoss said looking me straight in my (e/c) eyes with his chocolate brown ones. "This gang is all I have... Without them I have nothing." He said and looked away. There was sadness in his eyes. I almost felt sorry for him.

"You don't have a family?" I couldn't help but ask. He didn't respond. For some reason, I was curious about his upbringing. "Did something happen to your parents?" His eyes widened but he stayed silent. "Must be hard. I miss my mother..."

"What's it like?" he whispered.

"What's what like?" I asked.

"Having a family."

"Well, I don't really have a family. It was just me and my mom. I saw my dad once but he was a real asshole. My mom did her best to raise me. She's always there when I need her. She was sweet and caring. She still is..." A smile creeped on my face as I thought of her. "I would do anything for her," I whispered. Silence surrounded us for a few seconds. Vanoss sighed.

"You really want to get out that bad?" I just nodded. "I'm willing to try something out but you might not like it." Vanoss said.

"What is it?" I perked up a little. As Vanoss was about to tell me his idea, Basically came running into the dining room.

"(Y/n)! You have to come, quickly!" Basically shouted.

"What's wrong?" Vanoss asked.

"It's Delirious..." Vanoss and I quickly got up and followed Basically into the room they were in. It looked like a meeting room. Delirious was on the floor groaning in pain and holding onto his wound.

What the hell happened to him...?
