Initiation: A Novella (Initiation Trilogy Book 1) Read Online Free PDF Page B

someone say my name from behind me. I turn around and Brandon is running towards me. I thought he would be happy to see me and will give me information on Leanne, but as he gets closer, I can read the worry and fear written on his face. His eyes are wide and he keeps looking back over his shoulder as if someone is following him. For a moment, my heart beats quickly as I wonder if it has anything to do with Leanne.
              “What's up?” I ask, my heart jumping in my chest as I wait in anticipation for him to spit out his words...
                  “Someone just smashed the side windows on your car, Collin!” With this, he leans over, resting his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath.
                  “What?! You're lying.” I look over him in disbelief, shaking my head.
                  “N-No, no I'm not. Go look,” he stutters, but he lifts his hand and uses his index finger to point towards the door.
                  “The fuck?” I say under my breath and immediately get up from my seat, pushing Brandon out of the way to head outside.
                  A crowd has formed around my Mustang, murmuring to themselves about my car. I push them out of the way to get through. “What the hell!” I yell out as I grab the top of my head with both hands in frustration. “Which one of you mother fuckers did this?” I demand as I spin around.
                  Nobody answers me and it only pisses me off even more, so much more that I'm ready to knock someone the hell out. I gather myself and open the car door to look inside, quickly searching inside, but nothing seems to be missing or tampered with. Who the fuck smashes in windows and not take anything? I lean down to check my tires and they all seem fine, no holes and no slashes. I shake my head, feeling a little relived that it is only my side windows.
                  “Hey, are you okay?” Brandon asks as he pats my back gently, knowing my pain.
                  I stand back up. “Ye- Yeah, I'm fine. You didn't see anything?” I ask him, confused.
              “No, I just saw your car busted up,” he shrugs, looking away. He can’t quite meet my eyes as he takes in the damage.
                  “Damn... Okay.” I say with disappointment. I look in my car a little more and spot a folded yellow piece of paper on the passenger seat. I tilt my head to one side wondering why I didn't see that before, but still, I pick it up to read it:
    We got what you want. Come and get it.
                  Who the hell wrote this? I can't think of anyone who would hate me or have a problem with me. Was it that guy I tossed on the ground? But wasn't he in the room with that chick when I left? I think back and realize he was, everything getting lost, jumbled, and shaken up in my mind. Shaking my head, I fold up the note and put it in my pocket, hoping it was just a prank that no one wants to own up to. With a sigh, I swipe all the broken glass off the seat as I climb in.
                  “What's that you found?” Brandon asks me as he places a hand on the door, stopping me from closing it.
              “Nothing.” My answers are short and I know it sounds like I am cross, but I start up the engine
                  “You going home?” he asks me with his eyebrow raised.
                  “No, I'm going to try to find Leanne,” I plainly state as I jerk the door out of his hand and slam it shut.
                  “With your windows busted up?”
                  I roll my eyes.
                  “Yes, right now. I don't give a crap about my windows. I just need to find my damn baby sister. I swear to God if this is one of her jokes I'd-” I pause, sigh, and then close my eyes as I try to gather my thoughts.
