Chapter 5

Mister has been staring at me for at least 30 minutes. I decide that I'm tired of sitting I go to walk out the door, but he holds a gun at me from the table. "I'll shoot you before you walk out that door," he says. I chuckle, "You wouldn't shoot me, regardless of the location. You wouldn't want me harmed in any way. I'm the key to everything you need, so the next time you make a threat. Remember that technically, I'm dealing the cards, and you play with what I give you." Now it's his turn to chuckle, "To be close to death you are very confident." I smile and walk back towards the gun, I pull towards my leg and hold the trigger. He freezes and I quickly twist the gun and shoot him in the foot. He screams and swings at me, "You little bitch." I laugh this time, "I told you, I'll be dealing the cards. Now play." He sneers at me and 4 men come in to take me away, I would fight, but I've got a plan. They roughly throw me into the back of a van with Jake and Sonya. They tie us up and we start some drive that I'm pretty sure won't be quick and smooth. Sonya speaks, "What the hell is wrong with you? You shot Mister, he's going to kill you." I shake my head no at her, "He threatened to shoot me, I called his bluff. I, however, never bluff and proceeded to shoot him." Jake doubles over in laughter and when he regains his composure he begins to speak, "He might not want you dead, but he'll kill us." I nod slowly, comprehending what he's saying. "Then you two need to go," I say. They both look at me like I'm crazy. "A piece of glass from the chandelier was in my back. I removed it before being tied up. I'm going to cut you guys out, I will find you." Jake quickly shakes his head no, "I just found you Charlie. I don't want to lose you." I smile, "You're not losing me. I'm letting you go so you can live." He nods and Sonya looks at me crazy, "They have a sensor on the door, and I know for a fact that it is mandatory that they check the mirrors every 30 seconds." I smile, "Sensory, no. It's only for when the vehicle is at a stop, which they have been doing, if my calculations are correct, every 2 minutes. Once the door is open, you will jump and aim to land on your back. Then stay lying down until after you reach 120 Mississippi." They both nod and I cut them loose. Sonya and Jake sit by the door, I kiss him quickly and then open the doors, "Bye guys." They jump and then I close the doors as quietly as possible. I just sit back and relax. They've got many things they should be afraid of, many things. I can do a lot, my parents aren't stupid. They've made me into what I am, and that is a lethal weapon. Every fight I've taken on, I've won. Even if the fight was with a group of boys. I can't wait until we reach our destination.
