Devastatingly, it was only 4 blocks west from school. At this point, they should not have been skipping school in the first place. He rolled his motorcycle into a garage. An icy white SUV was there. Chester and Matt followed him in. After he placed the motorcycle in the right place, Kyle looked at them. He was ready. The Key said "Okay. My bike is set up, so let's head up. Lisa is here." Neither Chester nor Matt knew who Lisa was. Kyle walked into the building proper. When they got to an apartment on the second to highest floor, he walked inside. The door was open. "Who is it!?" a woman asked. "It's me, Kyle. I brought some people for you to meet." he said quickly as the hallway led into a open kitchen. There was an island in the center that a woman was sitting there. She looked at them expectantly. "This is Matt and Chester. They were hanging out downtown instead of going to school." Kyle said. Her head nodded with a hidden understanding. "Kyle said you guys are secret agents or something. Do you really stop Marked people from doing crimes!?" Matt asked. She shrugged. "I guess."
Even Kyle was not convinced from her lackadaisical response. "This is Harley, Lisa's sister." he explained. He then looked at her. "Where's Lisa?" he asked her. "I think I heard her say she's out getting something at the store. If I am going to be cooking dinner tonight, she has to get the ingredients. She'll be back soon enough." Harley said. She then looked at him and said "Why did you bring them here? You should know better than exposing the group by now." Matt stepped forward. "If you guys take down Marked people that do crime, we can join you." he offered. Chester and Kyle looked at him. "Are you a Lock or a Key?" Harley asked him. "Do you need to be one to join!?" he shot back. She sighed and said "No. But you better be ready to take one for the team in order to help out." she said. "You want me to let you guys fuck me to power you up!?" he demanded in shock. "It's not a secret that we use Marks to go against Marks. Unless you are some karate master or gun expert, you won't be able to take on a Red or Blue Mark." she said. Kyle said "I have to agree. I trained so hard."
Fighting alongside these people might be a good way to find more Keys. If they were bad guys, it would be okay to take advantage of them. "I guess that it's time to stop playing around huh?" Harley said before snapping her fingers together. Matt fell to the ground. He was out cold. Chester rushed to check on him. "Matt? Matt!? Matt!?!?" he cried out, shaking him. "Don't worry. He's just sleeping. We need to have a talk for a bit. He doesn't need to hear all of this." she said. He glared at her. "What is the matter with you!?" he snapped. Kyle placed a firm hand on his shoulder. "Why the fuck are you hurting people that don't have Marks." Chester said as he tried to shrug his hand off of him. That did not work at all. Kyle was strong. "Because of you, my Key is Locked down. I won't be able to activate it unless it's with you." he said. Chester looked at him like he was stupid. "Then why did you try to force a Bond like that on me then? It's your fault. Your shitty Key was too weak. You being a fucking virgin is not my damn fault." Chester spat. He was not going to take the blame for this. Not ever.
