Letters from uni

Marcus's POV


I was sat by the door all day. At about 1pm a letter slipped through the door. It was for me. I jumped up and down,


"Mum!" I shouted. She came from the kitchen and placed a hand on my shoulder.


"It's okay if you don't get in," she said. I ripped open the envelope to see the Brighton University crest.


Dear Mr.Butler,


You got into Uni, but unfortunately...you won't be alive to go...


Jack and Finn,


A tear fell from my eye.


"Marcus I'll call the police," said my mum running to find the phone. I got out my phone and called Niomi,


"Nims, you got the same letter didn't you," I heard someone balling into the speaker.


"Nimbob don't panic, my mums phoning the police, love you," I ended the call just as I was reviving one from Alfie.


"Mate, did you get a creepy letter?" He said.


"Yeah, so did Nims," I said.


"Mate I think everyone did, Tanya, Jim, Louise, Matt, Caspar and Joe,"


"My mums calling the police, don't leave your house," I hung up as my mum came back in.


"They're on their way," she nodded at me. I paced up and around the house. I couldn't sit still. The police arrived after what seemed like hours.


"We believe you've received a threat from Jack and Finn," I nodded at the constable. He wrote down a few things.


"Don't you have cameras outside mine and my girlfriends houses, can't you playback the footage and see who delivered the letters?" The officers looked at each other and nodded.


"Sir, we stopped recording around a week ago, we felt that you and Miss.Smart we're safe." It felt like my world was falling right before me.


"JACK AND FINN SHOULD BE IN PRISON!" I shouted at them.


"Well they were, our fellow officers searched the premise of the prison and couldn't find them." The police have failed us. "Sir, we're going to placed you and your friends and family in a high security building in France until Jack and Finn are found." I felt sick inside. Being forced into some care home because of two nutters. "A car will arrive for you at 3.00am tonight. You'll be flown over on a private jet, and then be escorted into the premises. And don't worry about it being a prison. It's a five star mansion, they'll be cameras and bodyguards in each room. A bit like big brother if I may say, only you won't be on television." I nodded at them. They shook hands with me and my mum. Fran showed them out.


I got a text from Alfie at about 12.00pm,


Just think of it as a holiday, - Alfie


I wasn't that mad about the house situation. I just wanted bad things to stop happening to us.
