Chapter 5 - "Interrogation to the rescue"

 The interrogation room is blank, white, and empty. The only things in there are a desk and a chair. I stand in the back corner of the room waiting for Peter. Soon he comes in, the guards handcuff him to the desk. I glare at him and for once he flinches, I'm not usually that aggressive but when someone crosses me I will shoot them. I walk to the desk and slam my hands on the desk and snap "What The Hell Peter! I Trusted You! And You Stabbed Me In The Back!" I step away, rub my fingers through my hair, and take a deep breath. "Where Is My Brother?" I say softly, he looks at me and says "Away." I walk up to him and punch him square in the nose, blood gushes out of his nose as he screams out in pain. I walk up to him and get in his face "Tell them where Derek is or I'm coming back." he nods and I walk out of the room when the medics file in. The door closes and I look down at my knuckles they split. I wave my hand from side to side to try to relieve the pain. "You broke his nose!" Chad and Dillon say at the same time I smirk "He deserved it." They nod and Emma and Morgan come in the room squealing "Peter gave us the location!" I smile and say "Breaking his nose was satisfying and useful."Chad and Dillon give me a look but Chads fades away and he says "Lets go save your brother." I smile and Emma says "Lets go team!" I nod and Carol walks up and says "Brooklyn, I have to stay here so Peter doesn't escape so here are the keys." I nod and say "Thank you Carol." she nods and walks off. "Lets go save my brother." they nod and we run out and slide in the van

"Em I can't tell what street is pine and what street is the highway!" Morgan says I roll my eyes, I left my licence in my bag which is sitting in Peter's office. "Let me drive." Emma says I smile, I'm glad Emma is driving she actually knows where to go. "So whats the plan Morgan says sitting in the back of the van with us. I shrug and say "I guess its a game of hide and seek... Peter was the only one who knew about Derek whereabouts so I'm guessing we need to find him." They nod and Chad says "Is it okay if I say something really nerdy?" I laugh and say "Of course!" he smiles and clears his throat and says in a perfect Hunger Game Capitol accent "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 76th annual hide and seek games!" I smile and say in my best Capitol accent "And may the odds be ever in our favor!" We all laugh and Emma from the drivers seat says "You guys are such nerds." I laugh and Emma slams on her breaks and yells "Watch Where You're Going!" I laugh and Dillon says "Road rage much?" I laugh even more and Emma laughs and flips us off, I laugh even more and when she slowly comes to a stop down the street. "Alright, we need to be careful... Peter could have traps set around the house." I say they nod and I say "May the odds be ever in our favor." they smile and we file out of the van and slowly and carefully inside the house

I go in first, I look around pointing my flashlight in every direction until I redeem the area clear. "Okay, we watch where you step." I say waving them in, they nod and we walk in and split up. I walk around checking every closet, nothing so far. Then I hear a click... then another, then a pound... and another. I run to the direction I thought I heard the sound. I make it to the living room and everyone is in there looking for the sound. They look behind furniture and I pull off the rug. And there it is, a handle. I grab the handle and try to lift it, "It's too heavy!" I say, Dillon, Chad, Emma, and Morgan come over to help me lift it up. It finally opens up and rats squirm out of the newly uncovered ditch. "Ahh!" Emma squeals jumping into Dillon's arms, Dillon smiles and I hear a groan. I rush down the creaky wooden ladder, my brain hasn't registered where I'm going.... not until I run into Derek. "Hey Pipsqueak!" He says wrapping his arms around me I smile and start crying "Don't ever do that to me again!" I yell into his chest. He laugh and I look up, his eyes are red and puffy. I smile and then I step back... "What did he do to you?!" I ask, he looks so beat up, cuts bruises scratches, lash marks everywhere. "I'm okay I promise I nod and say "Still, we're getting you to a hospital." he rolls his eyes but then he starts coughing. Dillon, Chad, Emma, and Morgan run down the stairs just as Derek collapses. "Derek!" I yell, they pick him up and lead him outside. Outside are: News cars, ambulances, paparazzi, and police. I cover my eyes with my arm trying to block out the repeat flashes. "You found your brother! How do you feel?" A microphone jerks in front of me and I slide away just to be bombarded by more and more cameras and flashes.
