Los Angeles, California

It was storming that night as Michael sat by the window watching the rain thump against his window. This has been the most peaceful night in a long time for him. The sound of thunder and sight of lightning reminded him of peace and what things used to be. He missed talking to his brothers and sisters but he seemed to always be 'busy'...with 'them'. He touched the window, and closed his eyes.

" Mr. Jackson." Michael looked to the side of him and saw his bodyguard, Bill Whitfield, holding his iPhone in his direction. " Phone call." Michael got up and grabbed the phone and motioned for Bill to leave. " Yes, this is Michael Jackson." he answered.

" Were you still going to bring them?" said the person on the other line. Michael looked up at the ceiling and thought for a minute. The person continued," You said you were going to bring them and if you don't-"

Michael cut him off," I am going to bring them." There was a brief silence, and then the person said," Okay. Have them at your house in no later than three days... Let them get used to you and then bring them to us... We can't have them interrupting our project, it has to be done... Michael."

It has to be done... Michael thought to himself. That made his stomach turn, for some reason he thought it could be a better way to end this. End them. But he had to take orders, anyway. Michael breathed out," I know. I will talk to them about it now." That ended the conversation, Michael hung up and went to get his laptop. He first logged into skype, twitter, then got on his chat. Only one of his little friends were on there... Nicole.

After about two minutes, she didn't say anything, so he did," Nicole :D" is what he typed and she responded," Michael :D' lol" and then all of a sudden Sasha and Shauna got on. It's funny how one is on and then the rest fall behind. He shook his head and then said," Girls, how would you like to go on a trip?"

They seemed confused. Sasha said," What trip?" Michael typed," to my house." He explained everything and they were excited about it. " How will you find us? lol" one of them said. Michael responded with," I have my ways lol". He knew how to track their ip addresses, he was really smart with that. He then called Mark, another one of his bodyguards.

A couple seconds later, he came into the room," Sir?" Michael had printed off the girls' ip addresses and handed them to Mark. " I want you to find the nearest airport to them. Think you can do that?" asked Michael. Mark nodded," Of course, sir." and left the room. Michael turned his attention back on the computer screen. He saw how the girls were playing with each other and laughing, that made him smile.

" I almost feel bad for doing this," he said to himself. Thunder boomed outside the window and the rain fell harder, Michael told them to hold on and he went into the kitchen. He took a salad with chicken in it out and sat at his table. Once he was about to eat it, his phone began to buzz. He was getting a call but it was from a blocked number. That made him freeze with his fork near his parted lips, the phone continued to ring and he carefully put the fork down. Ever so cautiously, he answered the phone and said," ...Hello?" There was static on the other end.

" I can see you."

Michael instantly hung up and turned his phone off and looked around. Suddenly he wasn't hungry anymore. Block numbers have been calling him from left to right and still he has no idea who it is. It haunted him, nightmares every other night. Michael quickly walked to each window and closed the curtains and sat back down at his table.

His house phones began to ring... He stared at the one near him for a minute and got up, grabbed the phone, and slammed it back on the hook. Michael went to sit back down. Half way through his salad, there was a knock on his front door. Michael reached into the drawer and grabbed his gun and carefully walked to the door," Who is it?" he asked calmly.

No answer.

He reached for the doorknob and then someone or something made a loud banging sound, making Michael jump and pointed his gun to the door. " Michael come out! I know you're in there, don't go quiet on me now!" said an unfamiliar voice. Michael slowly backed away and ran to his room and searched his drawers for something. He found what he needed at last, it was a button, and went back into the living room to the front door, and pushed the button with no hesitation.

Outside in his backyard, there was a big gate. Behind that gate were a good number of vicious dogs, and their only intentions were to attack the 'enemy'. The light on the gate was once green now changed to red and the gate opened up slowly and red eyes and growls were heard... They took off.

Putting his ears to the door, he waited and then the sound of barking dogs emerged. He looked out the window and saw the man being chased away, making him sigh then smile. Michael went back to his room and saw he had been gone for about an hour.

" Sorry. I'm back now lol" he typed on his laptop. This is getting ridiculous, he thought, and spent the rest of his night talking to his little friends....
