Chapter 6 - Shattered Lines
Two Hours Ago
[Alicia]
'I'm certain my parents will be angry about this if they ever found out, but the semester is all but done. In a few days we leave this godforsaken place to take our positions in the world. No matter what my mother may think my last name is not, nor will it ever be Reynard.'
After leaving the women’s bathroom in anger upon hearing their conversation, I immediately called Alex, my current idiot demanding he round up his teammates and cripple the blight that is currently in my life, Sebastian.
“Make sure you are ready within 4 hours, his slut’s club ends around that time”
“Are you sure you want to do this Alicia? I don’t care either way but if there are any consequences for this, I promise you won’t escape leaving me alone to deal with repercussions. That little shit embarrassed me in front of the entire team, I owe him pain. But, It’s one thing to fight him in order to teach him a lesson because he is fooling around behind your back, but it’s an entirely different thing to go after him with the intention to cripple.”
" I DON'T CARE! Do whatever you want Alex, Just make sure he knows the reason this happened. Wait... on second thought, I will make him know the reason, you just make sure he is broken when I’m done.”
“Consider your wish fulfilled”

FIELDING INNOVATIONS
[Takeru]
{BAM!}
Another cell phone is destroyed as my fifth attempt to secure the board of Alrey’s support in this hostile takeover battle with the Alcott’s and Reynard’s. Ripping open my desk drawer in anger, I hold the power button on a spare cell phone that I demanded to always be replaced on a daily basis.
‘FUCK! This is the last year until Talus’ deadline, What the fuck am I going to do?’
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the damn phone to turn on, looking closer at the screen it was obvious the piece of garbage wasn’t charged by my airhead secretary as ordered. Just as I was about to chuck it out the window, My office door was opened by the bimbo herself.
“Sir I think you should hear this, the Alcott child just placed a call to one of her classmates at the school she and the Reynard boy attend.” Alyssa Dirk my personal secretary announced as she entered the room.
"SO WHAT! How does that help me at all. You’re always bringing me unimportant information at the wrong time and you even forgot to charge my fucking cell phone.You know what, that’s it! YOU’RE FIRED!"
“...Sir, You destroyed the spare phone this morning by repeatedly stepping on it when Tyler Reynard's controlling interest in Alrey’s stocks rose by 2% this morning.”
“.....”
“.....”
“A-anyway what was the phone call about, what was so important about it?” I grudginly try to play off my blunder changing the subject.
“From the taps we have had in place from the past 2 years it seems the Alcott daughter is setting up the Reynard boy to be attacked.”
I could hardly contain my excitement at this news, while I let this information sink in, I was rapidly making and discarding ideas capitalizing on this opportunity.
“...Yes… yes, I can use that, when is this suppose to happen?” I absently ask completely ignoring her, as I was absorbed in finally finding a solution to my problem.
“According to the phone call within 4 hours sir” was her immediate reply. It seemed like she was waiting for me to praise her or something. No chance in hell of that ever happening, she worked for me and it is her job to assist me not wait around to be praised like a damn dog.
“Alright call Donovan and Gregory in here now, we have to capitalize on this chance while we have it….”
“.......”
“WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?! GET OUT AND SEND THEM IN YOU FUCKING CUNT!”
“...Yes....Sir….” was the reply I recieved through clenched teeth.
‘ Goddamn bitch staring at me like I owe her something, she better remember her place before she has to relearn it the hard way”

[Sebastian]
‘What the fuck just happened’
I stare at my phone in shock, as I try to process what just happened to me. ‘This doesn’t make any sense, Why the hell would someone have Alicia, Shouldn’t she already be home? School let us out 4 hours ago?!’
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“FUCK!”
I quickly sent off a text to my parents warning them of the situation, I then called 911 informing them there was a disturbance occurring at Schenker Academy, even though they should already be aware of what was going on. After that was accomplished, I had a quick internal debate with myself, wondering if I have enough time to run up to the second floor club room to warn Julia where I was going.
I ultimately decided against it, I just didn’t have the time. Instead I sent her a text as I ran to the parking lot. It was freezing cold outside, in the low 20’s, mainly due to the fact that it was almost 8pm in the winter. It took me half a minute to sprint to the other side of the school. As I was running Julia called me back demanding to know what was going on. Informing her of the phone call as I ran to the parking lot, I heard her begin to say something to me as I the final pathway to turn the last corner.
"Sebastian, turn back now! I can't believe you are falling for that shit. Did you seriously just leave me to go run and rescue someone who isn't in danger? Are you really that blind? How the fuck did they get your phone number dumbass, THINK ABOUT IT!"
Hearing her constantly berate me on my supposed stupidity, on top of hearing Alicia might be in danger infuriated me, and my reflexive reply I gave in anger destroyed something I held dear and by time I realized what was coming out of my mouth it was too late.
"You know what I'm tired of this shit, all I ever hear from you are complaints about Alicia. If you have nothing of importance to say, stop your bitching and shut up!"
"......... You know what I think I will, I hope you get whatever is coming to you. Do not call me again." Was her reply after a brief charged filled silence.
"Wait Ju-"
*CLICK*
{BAM!}
“…….FUCK! I didn’t mean to say that, why did she have to push so damn much.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I punched a hallway wall in anger over how the conversation ended. That wasn’t what I wanted to happen, nothing is going right! I don’t have time for this…
As Sebastian struggled to get over his emotional turmoil, He steadily walked towards the parking lot knowing he couldn’t delay in getting to the meeting site if he wanted Alicia returned safely. Upon passing the final corner, The sight he saw before him was nothing out of the ordinary, Cars littered the parking lot here and there and the lamps were dimly lit.
Taking a closer look, Sebastian was able to make out a silhouette standing by a car near the far right of the parking lot. Pushing his problems out of his mind to deal with the problem at hand, Sebastian was gripped with the feeling he is missing something. Just as he entered the parking lot and moved towards the area the answer to Unable to objectively discern the feeling in his current mental state, he quickly pushes it to the back of his mind to ponder later. Still slightly obscured by the darkness of the night, Sebastian set his cellphone to audio record. Upon moving closer he saw it was Alex Brenadier standing there while he intently looked at his phone without a care in the world..
“Alex!? What the fuck are you doing here?”
“Yo Reynard, here to perform your duty and save the princess? Well let's get to it, I got tired of waiting for you and decided to watch a minutes old home video of our little darling.”
“You little fucker aren’t you suppose to be her boyfriend? That what your issue was with me wasn’t it? Why the fuck are you here! If your answer doesn’t satisfy me there will be pain”
“AHAHAHAHA… man you have balls I give that. You embarrassed me in front of my team and the school, I can’t let you get away with that and so you are going to stand there while I beat the shit out of you or Alicia will be raped. Oh yeah… before you get any ideas I suggest you look behind you”
His statement struck Sebastian as odd as the nagging feeling came back with intensity, just as he thought he figured out why this situation felt so weird to him the last part part of Alex’s statement made him reflexively begin to turn around.
{BASH, Crack!}
“Ugggh”
*Passes out*
Unfortunately, Before Sebastian was able to fully turn around he is hit in the head from behind with a glass bottle. Immediately after the bottle made contact with Sebastian’s head, he fell to the concrete floor unconscious from the blow.
“Even if you wanted to, there is no turning back now princess, Now this is going to be fun.” Alex replied gleefully to Sebastian’s attacker as they came into sight.
“S-shut up already I know that, you don’t have to remind me let’s just get this over with” Alicia replied trepidation evident in her voice.
“I’ve been working towards this for the past 6 years, I know what I’m doing, Now hurry up and let’s get him into the gym, I don’t have all day.”
“This little bitch is beginning to annoy me’
