Chapter 6

Jackie had snuck into Neverland late at night. Something was up and he knew it. All he had to do was find out and he would know why his family was being killed off one by one. Jackie tiptoed up the marble staircase. The whole house was dark. He saw Michael's room and the 10 guestrooms beside it in the long hallway. He went into one of the guestrooms and saw Macaulay Culkins sleeping. He gently woke him up. Macaulay was scream at the sight of Jackie but he put his hand over Macaulay's mouth. Macaulay struggled with him.

�� "I got a few questions to ask," Jackie whispered. "And if you answer correctly, I won't hurt you. Got me?"

Macaulay nodded.� Jackie slowly released him. He noticed Macaulay looked really pale.

�� "Alright. Number one, what's the deal with Michael?"

Macaulay swallowed. "W-what do you mean?"

�� "Don't play dumb with me. Is he doing all this stuff? All these deaths?" Macaulay shook his head.

�� "Then why is he disappearing� all the time? Don't lie to me. I'll find out sooner or later."

�� "Why don't you ask Michael? I don't know!" Macaulay cried.

Jackie lifted his hand up to hit him but someone grabbed his arm. His heartbeat raced faster but when he turned around, he was relieved it wasn't Michael. It was Janet.

�� "If you put a hand on that child, I swear, you'll have another thing coming."

Jackie sighed. "Jan', how'd you know where I was?"

�� "I found your trail. Now come on before we wake the dead. You've got some explaining to do." Janet said.

Jackie turned to Macaulay. "I'll find out. I will."

Michael woke up to the sound of footsteps. He ran out into the hall to find out that who ever it was had gotten away. He saw Macaulay's door open so he went inside.

�� "Mac, are you okay?" He asked gently.

Macaulay pulled the covers up to his face. "No."

Michael sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened?"

�� "Jackie came and tried to get information out of me." Macaulay whispered.

�� "Did you tell him anything?" Michael asked.

Macualay shook his head and began crying. "He almost found out! And I don't want anything to happen to you!"

Michael hugged him. "Shh. Aw, it's okay, nothing's going to happen to me. All of it will be over...very soon. I promise."
