Underground and Going Deeper

Chapter 4

 Since today is a Saturday I didn't have to wake up that early. I called up my friend group, and we all decided to hangout in Downtown LA. I went to my closest to pick out my outfit and finally came to a decision. So once again I grabbed my skateboard and rode to my friend Ashley's House. We made breakfast while we waited for Draco to pick us up. Little did we know.. Darien the new kid was with him.. Me and Ashley got into the backseat of Dracos car and Ashley asked for the Aux. (if you don't know what a car aux is, it's where you can control the music on the car via aux cord or bluetooth) So for the next 30 minutes (traffic) We were all screaming our lungs out to music. It was so much fun. We ended up going to the cat cafe, then the crystal museum, and my personal favorite was the hollywood walk of fame. Ashley went to go find a crystal shop, but when she didnt come back or answer her phone we got worried and split off the look for her. I took the allies, draco took the crowded areas, and Darien took the shops. You know how in every movie they say not to split up? Yea, this is what they meant. Darien calls me and says she found Ashley buying over 200 dollars worth of crystals a few blocks over. I was in a really sketchy alley and It dawned on me that I didn't know where I was. I start walking deeper into the alleyway. (I have no clue why I did that. I'm a bit slow) When all of a sudden I feel a strong pair of arms grab me. Before I could scream Someone put something over my mouth. Next thing you know I passed out.

When I wake up I'm in an extremely dark room, I think to myself. "How the heck does one go from having a small outing to being kidnapped." All of a sudden the door opens and 3 men enter the room. 2 of them look as if they were bodyguards, and the one in the middle of them looks as if he was some hotshot. The man in the middle sat down and introduced himself as Mr. Blake. He asked me how I felt and I sharply replied with "I don't know, How do you expect me to feel after I've just been kidnapped." "fair enough." Mr Blake said. He then proceeded to ask me "Are you the son of Jamison Richards?". I was confused as to why he was asking me about my father. Maybe he is holding me for ransom?? I'm not really worth that much trouble if you ask me. The idiots were keeping me in a box like shed right on the side of the main road. My hands were handcuffed in front of me, but what kid never dabbled in magic. I pulled a little trick I learned at magic camp a few years ago and ,boom, just like that my hands were free. The door was also unlocked, and when I walked out nobody was there. These people really just kidnapped me, and then just left me?? Anyway I found a bike on the side of the highway and started back home. However when I got there I saw a ransom note on my door that said "We are demanding 500k for the safe returnal of your son.". I walk into my house to hear my father in which it sounds like he is out of his office and in the living room. He was obviously mad about something, probably the fact I was kidnapped. He was barking out orders to 10 men in our living room! The orders were extremely gruesome, and if they were caught doing this they would surely be arrested. I've always wondered what it was my father was doing... Could he be part of the mafia...?
