Ghost

Y/ns pov

After the phone call earlier I sat on the side of the mattress while finney was on the other side, it's awkward having to share a mattress but it's better than nothing

Being bored out of my mind, I end up sitting and lightly hitting the wall..its not interesting but its definitely something to do

After hitting the wall for a while it gets even more boring than doing nothing "Hey finn, what do you think I'd find under the mattress?" I asked breaking the awkward silence

"Probably nothing or just dust" Finney said looking over to Me from the other side of the mattress

"You wanna take that bet? If I find something you owe me a slushie" I said, rrying to lighten the mood abit and finney nodded

Finn got off the mattress so I could try lift it up, but it wouldn't move.."looks like you owe me a slushie instead" Finney says watching

"Not yet, I can still get my hand under and feel around for something" I say lifting it up and sliding my hand under the mattress

"See! I got something" I said grabbing something that was under there and quickly getting my hand back out

"What is it?" Finney asked moving over to where I was and we both looked down at what I found, it was Vance hoppers prized pocket knife

While we look down at the pocket knife the door starts opening from the other side of the room, before he can see the knife I shove it in my pocket

"I made you some breakfast" He says walking into the door holding a tray with a plate of scrambled eggs on it and a drink

"What did you put in it?" Finney asked turning around and looking over to the grabber

"Salt and pepper.." He said before giggling...stop giggling man "you're already down here..what do I need to drug you for?"

He set down the tray and then leaves, after he's gone finney goes up to the door and he opens it...guess the grabber really is that dumb that he forgot

Once finney opens the door the phone starts ringing and I rech over to grab it but finney quickly runs over and picks up the phone

"Hello?" Finney said putting the phone to his ear, it was quiet until a voice came through the phone

"Don't go upstairs." The voice said...okay so was this kid gonna try help like Bruce did or is he just gonna stop us from leaving

"Why not?" Finney asks after and the voice quickly responds "it's a trap"..how the hell is it a trap

"Are you Bruce?" Finney asks the kid, unless Bruce had a voice change then I don't think it's him
"Who's Bruce?" The voice asks, okay so it definitely wasn't Bruce

"Uh..I was just talking to Bruce.." Finney said after pausing for a moment "I don't know any bruce" the voice replied

"He's the baseball player.." Finney said and the voice sounded slightly confused "we don't play baseball here"

"Who are you?" Finney asked...okay if Bruce didn't know his name why would this kid know his..."I don't remember"

"Did you play soccer? Football?" Finney said..obviously thinking of any sports or activities his kid could've done "I delivered newspapers"

"That's Billy showalter, he was the paperboy" I said after and finney looked over to me

"Do not go upstairs.." Billy said getting back on topic of why he probably called "What's he doing?" Finney asked

"He's waiting on the other side with that fucking belt..." Billy said before pausing for a second "he didn't say you can leave, so if you try he'll punish you"

"He'll beat you with that belt until you pass out.. it hurts kid..it hurts real bad" Billy continued talking "You'll cry..you'll beg him to stop, we all did..but he just keeps beating you"

After he says that he stops talking suddenly and finney looked over to me in confusion

Billy eventually starts talking again "You said my name was Billy" He abruptly says

"Dont call me that. I dont remember it, its now who I am now" He said..was this kid being serious

"What do you want to be called then?" Finney asked and there was another second of awkward silence "what do you remember?" Finney asked

"I told you..I was a paperboy" He replied after and finney nodded slightly as if the kid was here to see him nod

"Okay paperboy" Finney says and the 'paperboy' switches topics again "see the wall infront of you? See how the wall is separated from the floor?"

Finney said yeah and the paperboy continued talking "I tore a long cable loose from down there, I kept it hidden"

"What are we supposed to do with that?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finney and I had went back to where we sat before but only this time instead of punching the wall I scratched it with the pocket knife

I looked Iver to the slightly opened door and saw it opening more, incase it was the grabber I quickly put away the pocket knife

The grabber walks into the room and stands silently for a minute before looking over to finney "What's your name?"

"Why do you care?" Finney asked and the grabber continued to look at him

"I usually don't.. I eventually find out in the paper..they print it out with a big photo and all the details I could ever want.." He said back "all the things you boys lie about.."

"Why do you want to know now? Why can't you find out how you usually do" I quickly said, putting myself in this weird 'conversation'

"Oh it's complicated..." He said turning his head slightly to look over to me instead of finney, suddenly a dog starts barking

"It's too complicated...nothings going right.." He said in a tone that sounds like he's trying to make us feel bad for him or something

"You could just let us go." I said, I wad tired of listening to this guy talk about his problems when he's literally a kidnapper

"I'm thinking about it.."

"We promise we won't tell anyone..just drop us off on the street.." Finney said and the grabbers attention turned to me

"Well tell me your name.." He said to finney and finn went silent for a minute before responding

"Taylor...Taylor mullen..." He says making up a fake name, it definitely didn't work

The grabber sighed and took out a news paper, throwing it over at finney "I saw really starting to like you finney" He said before leaving
