Lemon boy - DNF

1

It was a warm Friday afternoon and George was standing in the grocery store, trying to decide what ice cream he wanted. He still, after years of living here, was not quite used to the warm Floridian weather and he had been craving Ice cream for a few days now. After a while he finally decided on some Ben and Jerry's ice cream and turned around to go to the register and pay.

While he had been looking at the ice cream, he hadn't noticed the commotion behind him, but as soon as he did, he froze in his tracks. A few feet away from him stood two masked men, threatening the employee at the register with guns. 

The man on the left, who was quite tall, was wearing a presumably green hoodie and a white smiley mask which hid his face. He also wore the hood of his hoodie over his head, hiding his hair. He was currently shouting words at the employee, which looked terrified and was loading money into a bag, that the man on the right was holding. Said man was wearing a Black Hoodie and a plain grey mask, which was secured with a white bandana, that he tied around his hood and mask.

George couldn't make out the words the man on the left was saying, his ears were ringing and he felt the ice cream drop out of his hand. At the sound the man on the left turned around and stared at him. Before he could say anything, police sirens were heard throughout the store and it was soon lit up in red and blue lights. The sirens took George out of his frozen state and the ringing in his ears stopped. The shorter man ran to the door and looked outside. "Fuck Dream, we wont make it out of here", he yelled and gripped the moneybag tighter. Suddenly George felt something cold and hard being held at his temple. "Yes we are Sap", the man with the smiley mask, Dream, said right behind George, making him realise what was being held against his temple. It was a gun.

The man at the door, Sap, turned around and looked George up and down for a second and then nodded. "Alright, lets go then", he said and Dream forced George to walk to the door by pressing the gun harder into his temple. "Don't even think about pulling some shit or i wont hesitate to blow your brain out of your head", Dream whispered with a low voice, bringing shivers down Georges spine. He simply nodded and did what he was told. The three left the store and were immediately greeted by multiple police cars and bright lights. George immediately shut his eyes, as they were very sensitive to light. 

"Lets us go or ill shoot the kid", Dream yelled and put his arm around Georges neck, choking him. George, out of instinct, tried to get Dreams arm away from his neck, making Dream loosen the grip a bit to let him breathe. The police stayed where they were, making Dream hiss in annoyance. "Let us go to our car and don't fucking follow us", Sap yelled and the police retreated a few feet, letting them go to their car. George opened his eyes again, just as he was thrown into the passenger seat, and before he even had the chance to try and get out again, he felt a gun being pressed into his neck. He nervously glanced into the backseat through the mirror and saw Sap sitting behind him. "Don't pull any shit kid", he said and George nodded in understanding. Dream, who was sitting in the front seat, started driving and they were soon followed by the police. 

"Oh for fucks sake", Dream muttered under his breath and sped up. "They don't seem to care about you", Sap said to George with a low voice, making George gulp in fear.  They continued driving that speed for a short while, until police cars pulled into the street in front of them. Dream stopped the car and for a second George had hope that he'd get out of this safely, but then Dream pulled the car around in an instant and sped right at the police cars. George pressed himself into his seat, as they almost hit a police car. They sped right through them and sped away from the cars. "Try to pull in at the bridge where we can hide the car", Sap yelled as the police sirens get louder again, indicating that they were coming closer. Dream nodded and took a sharp turn, right underneath a bridge and turned off the car. It was dark underneath the bridge, so the car was hidden quite well in the shadows. No one talked for a second, giving George time to look over to Dream, who's hood had fallen down some time during the chase, revealing dirty blonde hair, that looked soft to touch. For a second he thought about what it would like to touch it, but then his thoughts were interrupted by the police sirens getting closer and he noticed Dream fidgeting with his hands nervously as the cars passed the bridge, not even giving the car underneath it a second thought. 

Sap and Dream both let out a relieved sigh and Sap slumped back into his seat, freeing George from the grip of his gun. "That was close man", he sighed and Dream chuckled. "Well we made it, as always.", he turned around and looked at the bag of money that was placed next to Sap. "How much do you think we got?", he asked and Sap chuckled as if he had no worries in this world. "Definitely enough, if not even more", he said, making Dream chuckle as well. Then they both turned their gaze to the boy in the passenger seat, who was pressing himself into the end of his seat as much as possible, to hide himself as much as he could. 

"What are we gonna do with him?", Dream then asked and George felt him mustering him. "Well we'll have to dump the car first, then we can decide what to do with the boy", Sap said and Dream nodded, still mustering the obviously scared boy and then in the course of a second, took out his gun and slammed it again Georges temple, knocking him out immediately. 

"Dude", Sap said shocked and looked at the passed out boy in the passenger seat, who's head was now bleeding. Dream wordlessly took off his mask and got out of the car. "I cant have him screaming around or some shit while we dump the car", he simply said and then closed the door and walked over to the passenger side. Sap got out as well, just as Dream took the unconscious boy out of his seat carefully and threw him over his shoulder. "Can you get rid of the car?", he asked, to which Sap nodded and got in the front seat. He drove the car closer to the river, which was right underneath the bridge, got out and put a heavy stone on the gas pedal. The car silently rolled into the River and disappeared, leaving only a few bubbles on top of the surface, and then it was gone as if it had never existed in the first place. Sap went back to Dream, who had been watching the whole thing. 

"Lets go to my car then", he said and the two made their way to Saps car, which was parked about 200 meters away. They had planned out all the possible outcomes and had stolen a car just in case a chase like this would've happened. As soon as they get to the car Dream opened the trunk and threw the unconscious boy into it like a bag. He lingered there for a second too long, staring at the boy, until Sap called his name and he quickly closed the trunk. "Did you secure him with a rope or something?", Sap asked as soon as Dream sat down. "No, do you think he'll be able to get out of the trunk?", Dream asked mockingly and Saps starts driving. "Besides, i hit him quite hard, he should be out for a while.", he continued and yawned. "Exhausted huh?", Sap asked, to which Dream just nodded. "Me too, sleep if you want, ill wake you up once we arrive home", he said and Dream smiled thankful and closed his eyes, falling asleep not long after. 

As soon as they got home Sap woke Dream up and got out of the car. Dream went to the trunk and picked up the boy, while Sap took the moneybag with him. They then went into their house, which was located in the woods, only a couple minutes away from the nearest road and right next to a raging river. The house itself wasn't special but they proudly called it their home. As soon as they entered both of them sighed relieved and Sap dropped the money on the floor.

"Not gonna lie, i didn't think we'd make it this time", he said and chuckled. "Yeah me neither, where should we put the boy?", Dream asked and readjusted him on his shoulders. "Just tie him up in the basement, that's the only remotely soundproof room in the house", Sap said and Dream did as he was told and brought the boy into the basement, where he tied him up to a chair leg. He tied both his hands and feet and gagged him so he wouldn't be able to scream for help, then he returned to Sap, who had just finished counting the money on the kitchen floor. 

"I tied him up, now we should discuss what we're gonna do with him", Dream said and sat down next to him. "Well I've thought about this, there's three options here.", Sap said and got up to get himself a cup of water. "First option would be to just let him go, but we don't know how much he knows and if he'd be able to recognise us again by our voice.", he said and took a sip of his water. "Second option would be to get some money out of him, we could blackmail his parents into giving us money in exchange for him or sell him in some sketchy place or something.", he continued and took another sip. "And third option.... kill him", he said, making Dream pale. He didn't want to hurt the boy, especially considering he was the definition of wrong person wrong time. 

"I don't want to kill someone who has nothing to do with this Sap. Hes done us no harm, but we cant just let him go either. The second option is probably the best option.... But, what if his parents don't pay? I mean where would we even sell him?", Dream asked and Sap put his glass down and bit his lips, it was a thing he did whenever he thought about something really carefully. "Hm you're right, i don't think we'd be able to sell him, that would probably do us more harm then good. Well if his parents don't pay, we would need to kill him.", Sap said and Dream shifted uncomfortably. "Cmon Dream, he seems quite weak anyway so he probably wouldn't even fight back", Sap said and Dream stayed silent for a moment. 

 "Fine. Option two it is"
