Russian Roulette: 2 by B Sherif (best books for 8th graders .txt) 📖

is approaching closer to us. I am so proud of you Roulette says Janet no matter who you become in life just know that I will always support you. She closes the door while I yell NO! I'm moving, I'm moving somewhere then suddenly I stop. I open the door and I am in a basement that I have never seen before. BOOM! I freeze while starting at the ceiling. I stare at the celling for a good 2 minutes. Then I start to shake, J-Janet I say, J-J-Janet. A few moments later I hear sirens. I go back upstairs. I see Janet on the floor I run to go over her body as she bleeds out I cry. Rou she says softly. Janet please stay with me. I'm going to kill him I promise. She smiles and mumbles the words.. I...love..you..darling. She's dead, the only person in my life is dead now.
Police break into my house forcing me to get up. DON'T TOUCH HER I yell at the top of my lungs.
I am in the police station giving my stupid statement. Detective Ross sits down beside me. Oh my god it's you. I know him he arrested my father. You seem excited to see the officer that arrested your father, he says. Because I know you'll get Peter I replied. I don't know how  he escaped, but I'll find him. Now I just need your statement. I take a deep breath in and out. I came home today from the institution, people have been knocking on my door all day, some were welcoming me back and this one lady gave me a plate of cookies. I took a nap after I ordered some pizza. I woke up to take a shower when I heard some noise coning from downstairs. So I grabbed a baseball bat and went down to find two stupid teenagers fooling around so I kicked them out. Then my door bell rings again and it was Janet. Tears at this point starts to rush down my face, officer Ross hands me a tissue box. We were going to start over and begin a new life. I saw a showdown in the corner of my eye, I looked through my eye hole door and that when I say Peter.  My home phone rings and it's my dad and he tells me to go to... but before I finish what I was saying I remembered that Janet said that my dad has a secret place which is the basement where the gun must be. Roulette says Ross, you were saying. Yeah yeah I say trying to play it off. I don't tell him about the secret basement because I need that gun to kill Peter. Yeah, so I continue to tell Ross he tells me to just run. At this point Peter already in the house so I hid behind the counter. Janet is there still trying to protect me and that's when you know. I try to hold in my tears. I am so sorry Roulette. You'll be placed in witness protection. No! I yell as I stand up. For the past 3 years I listened to you guys, alright I went to rehab and not by choice, I am done! Ok he says, as you wish. Can I at least have officers watching your house? Yes, I say softly. Ross slowly gets up and smiles at me, I am sorry he says it wasn't my intention to upset you. I just I want to be free I say. Ross smiles, I'll walk you out he says.
As I am in the police car waiting to go home, I see Ross running out with a phone and tells me that it's my father he keeps on calling Janet's phone. I take the phone from Ross I get out the car to speak with my dad privately. Hello I say, Rou, its dad. Yes, Michael I know I said. You call me dad not Michael he replies. I start to laugh, being called a dad means that I have a father you are no father of mine. I don't care how mad or upset you are at me you call me dad because I am your father always haven been and always will be he said angrily. Janet is dead....Michael and you are dead to me, goodbye. I hold onto Janet's phone. Ross is staring at me I walked towards him. I give him the phone. He looks at it and says, if I could give you her phone you know I would. I smile and nod. I get into the police car and we drive back to my place. The cops will be watching over me from outside. I stare at the floor where Janet died. I lay on the exact same spot where her body was. I don't know how but I still feel her here. I reach into my pocket and pull out the paper that she gave me. She wants me to take self defense classes, and I will. I'll learn how to fight and kill. I promise you Janet I will do you justice. I go upstairs and lay on my bed I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I open my eyes it's morning wow I actually fell sleep on the kitchen floor for Janet  was. I miss her this pain is too much I can't believe she's actually gone I hope i had woke  up from this bad nightmare. I look at the time and it's already 11 AM I decided to get ready to go to that self-defence course I'm little bit nervous I don't know who this guy is or what to expect from it. After getting ready I went outside I see the two detective across the street. I can't speak to them anytime Ian outside. I wonder if they'll follow me. I catch a taxi and give him the location. 

The place is 20 minutes from my house, the taxi drivers drops me to this weird plaza. I give him his money and I open the car door. Unit 33 it's the very hidden in the corner, as I go inside I see stairs going up. At the top of the stairs there is a lady I guess she the secretary or something. She's in the phone when I walked up to the desk ask tells me she'll just be a second. I nod, I than look around the room I see lots of photos of people who take this course. How may I help you said the lady. Oh hi my name is Roulette my friend sent me here a Mr. Zack Robin is expecting me, I say. She smiles and tells me to wait here. She goes to the back, father a few seconds she comes back and says that Zack is in his office and to come in.  Okay thank you I say. I walk through the hallway and then I see an office with a huge guy there. As I entered he stood up and shine my hand. This man is extremely tall and huge, he must be atleast 7 feet. Hello Roulette I've been waiting for you. I laugh and say sorry. How's Janet doing he asked. I look down and say, Janet is no longer with us. OMG he says no way I am so sorry for your loss. He sits down in shock he puts his hand on his face. I take a seat. He looks at me. Janet told me that she wanted you to learn how to fight for your protection. Yeah I replied, you see there is a very horrible man out there. When I was 16 years old he held me hostage, he beat me up and shot me. I made it out alive and he made it to prison. I went to rehab for 3 years to recover from that. Yesterday this man somehow escape jail and came to my house. He's the one who shit Janet. Who is he I want his name he said. Peter, his name is Peter. He killed Janet, I want you to teach me everything there is to know how fighting.  I want you to show me how to shoot a gun. Where are you going with this said Zack. I look towards the window and say, I made a promise to Janet and I will fulfill it even if it means losing my life. He stands up and walk towards me. I'll teach you he says. 

We will start tomorrow 6 AM. 6 AM I asked tomorrow? don't you think that's a little bit early. No because he will strike you at 3 o'clock in the morning he will come into your room and get you so I am being nice by starting this class 6 AM, said Zack.  OK!  all right 6 AM it is, Mr. Zack, see you then. Just call me Zack he says. I leave the place and I start to go home on the taxi ride back I reminisce on the past  and what happened to me years ago and because of Peter I went  to rehab for three years and I was destroyed the second I actually thought I was free and I thought that I would be able to live my life like normal teenager he comes and kills the only person I could actually trust. 


Peter sets down in a dark and private room with a lot of noise coming from the unit across from him. He's carving some wood. He gets up grabs an apple and opens his door, he peaks out to see if anyone is in the hallway. He knocks on the door very hard. A man opens the door and says what? Peter takes a bite of his apple and says can you please keep the noise down. The man starts to get frustrated. who you think you're talking too., you are just a newbie do I have to show you who's in charge here. Peter takes another bite of his apple and laughs a little bit.  The man comes out in the hallway, he then slaps Peter's hands making him drop his apple to the ground. You're going to regret that said Peter. Two other door open and two men come out. Hey. Don is there a problem here said one of the guys. Peter looks back at the two men that just came out. No Peter says, there is no problem here unless you two retards continue to stay in the hallway. All three men are now surrounding Peter. Peter takes a good look at them before saying, I am not going to ask you guys twice get inside. One of the men pulls out a pocket knife. Peter sighs, all I wanted was for you to keep the noise down but since you guys want to doe today I'll just make that happen. You've got a big mouth on you says down and then he punches Peter. The other two men start to hit Peter as well. Peter fights back. The guy with the pocket knife is trying really hard to stab Peter. He eventually grabs the pocket knife out of the man's hand and he stabs him to death. The other two guys are still  trying to fight Peter but Peter stabs them too. Peter now breathing heavily is standing over the bodies of the three men he just killed. He places the pocket knife in his pocket. He goes into Don's room and can see that no one else is there. Peter starts to drag one body at a time into Don's room and leaves them there. Peter is now in his room staring out the window and he continues to carve his wood.
Down at the police station Ross is sitting at his desk with his hand on his mouth thinking very hard about how Peter got the chance to escape. Help he says, he must of gotten some help. Ross
