Nerd In Disguise

Ch. 39: Tyler wanted to help?

Thirty-Nine

Arialyn's Point Of View:

I quickly make my way back to the car, Jack look confused as he look over at me. "She's not here, they're not here." I told them quickly, "I received a text. They said they're moving away because someone heard we're coming. And I gotta get out to where they're locating. They going to come for the kids now. I'm sorry I have to go. Tyler's waiting for me across the street. I'll text you."

I rushed away before they can say anything. I heard them shouted about Elaina. Hell I'm worried about her too, but right now, I'm worried about what they're going to do to me. I hurriedly make my way to Tyler's car. "Where the fuck you been?" Tyler grumbled in annoyance when I climb in and he started the car.

"I told you I'm going out for fresh air." I said as calmly as I could so I don't sound too suspicious. I've been gone for way too long and I'm sure Peter is going to interrogate me soon enough when I got to wherever we're going. My phone beep, signalling a new message. I unlocked it.

Louisa: what the fuck is going on? Why are you bailing on us?

Arialyn: i told you there's been a change of plans. I promise i let u know but i gotta save my damn ass now.

I let out a groaned, Tyler glance at me, "You okay?" He asked. I shrugged, not saying a word and just look out the window. For all I know, I could be heading to my own funeral now. "Your friend is going to be fine."

I jerk on the seat, surprised at the mention of Elaina. I turn to him wide eyes, "W-What did you say?"

He look at me amused, "I said your friend is going to be fine." He repeated focusing on the road again. "I know you went to see the agent. I know you went there." My face paled at the mention of that.

"Does he know?" I said quietly.

He chuckled, "Nope. No one other than me." He i answered. "As much as I love how I get easy money, I don't find the pleasure at torturing innocent kids." He told me gripping on the wheels slightly. Okay, now I'm confused. For as long as I know, he's been by Peter's side for quite some time now. Surely, he won't just turn his back on Peter.

When his eyes glance over at me briefly, he grin again, "I know it seems a little weird coming from me. I know my reputation don't seem to look like I'll care." He paused look over at the side before turning left, "But I came from an abusive family. It's sucks that because of them, I ended up here. I wanted to have a normal life you know? Nice little family someday. But that little dream all ended when my dad sold me over to Peter."

My jaw dropped, "He sold you?" I asked in disbelief. "What kind of Father does that?" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air.

"Not all parents are nice Aria," He simply stated shaking his head. "He has debt to pay. And apparently, he thinks I'm a good enough money to be paid with. Anyway, Peter did accepted me as my dad's payment. I don't know, it sucks actually. Everyday I watched them killed people. Everyday I watched them sell the drugs, until I'm big enough to do it too." I don't know why he's telling me this, but I feel sorry for him. He's been through quite a lot for someone who doesn't seem to care about anything.

"It was hard at first, but I convinced myself that I killed these people because they refused to pay their debt..." he paused, "I could lived with that until he announced we're doing the kidnaping of children for fortune. The kids who probably have nothing to do with this shit. That's when I started to feel like I hate being a part of this. That's when reality hit in my fucking face."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked frowning. What could his ulterior motive be by telling me this personal information about his life. He look over at me, "Because I'd like to help whatever it is you're planning with them. I want to be a part of it. And I'm taking us there."

My eyes widened.

Louisa's Point Of View:

My mouth gaped at the nerve of this guy.

I couldn't believe that after years of committing a crime, not only did he come forward, he also offered us help. Which is amazing, not gonna lie. "What do you want in return?" Jon asked him narrowing his eyes.

"I don't want anything." This Tyler guy said, "I'm just done playing chasing."

"You couldn't possibly want to help us with no ulterior motive, what do you want?" Jack snapped in annoyance as he stood straighter, pushing himself off the desk.

Tyler seems too calm to be in this situation, he leaned back, crossing his arms over his chest and shrugged, "Its up to you if you want to believe me or not. But I'm the only one who can really help you now." He stated with a smirk on his face knowing that he is right. He's the only one with all the information we need for this Mission, not just Elaina. Everything about this.

"You will go to jail once this is done." Jon said to him, tilting his head to the side still studying him. "Does that not scare you?"

Tyler's face void of any emotion. Oh this guy is good, I thought to myself. "I've grew up in an environment that makes me feel like I am one. Why not make it official?" Is what he said. Now Jon had his mouth open slightly, probably surprised by Tyler's answer. "If you want everyone to be in one piece, we can't waste any more time. Time's ticking." He informed, tapping on his left wrist on where his watch would be at.

"What do you know?" I inquired. His head turn to the side to face me, "I know enough that will help you."

I turn to the boys, "Come on we can't lose this one chance." I told them gesturing to Tyler, "He's the only one who knows everything now. He knows information that we don't. Are you going to let that go?"

"You can trust him," Arialyn interjected. We looked over at her who now stood beside Tyler's chair. "He's been helping me survived."

"How can we trust someone like him?" Jack spat. I groaned, we're wasting time.

Tyler shot a grinned, "Well like I've said we're wasting time." Jack look so torn. I know he's desperate, but he's having trust issues with this guy. But I don't blame him, anyone would. But right now, the information is much more valuable.

Jack sigh in defeat after what feels like decade, "Tell us what you know." He finally said. Pinching the bridge of his nose. Tyler grinned in triumph, "They have a secret hideout. Not far from here actually." He got up and walk towards one of the window.

"At that very end, you'll find them." He said, "They're planning to strike on the school tonight at midnight. Just down that same road, there's this little small town. They held the school's prom there. They will be in every corner, securing every potential escape. There's no way out, but there's always one way."

"And where's that?"

He look over at us, grinning, "I could take you hostage."
