Living Color

27. There Will Be Blood

James smiles softly as he sees everyone unconscious on the ground of the living room. "This is going to be fun. I'll be sure to have your parents find you in pristine state." James slyly says as he glances back at the door. He sees headlights flashing across the windows of Amber's house, "Just in time." James says before an evil grin spreads across his face.

The parents all park along the road, once they see each other a frown appears on each of their faces.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sun asks as they meet up near the garage.

"Ebonne called me telling me to come, she needed to tell me something serious." Jasmin says as she puts a hand on her hip.

"Gary told me the same thing." Helicia says as she looks to her husband, Eduardo.

Maria and Santos nod their heads aswell, "Manny said something important was needed to be done. Do you think...it has something to do with...you know?" Maria anxiously asks as she looks to the house.

"Don't be ridiculous Maria! Let's go, my feet are freezing." Santos says as he leads the way to the door, he rings the doorbell and eagerly waits. Helicia looks back and sees all of the kids cars parked along the streets as well.

"It seems there all here." Helicia says as she looks back to the door.

The large black door suddenly creaks open to reveal all of the lights on and everything in tact.

"Hello?" Santos calls out as he peers in, but sees no one, "We're coming in! Emanuel!" Santos calls out to his son as he walks in with everyone else. No reply.

They all step into the living room, but see no one.

"Where the hell is everyone?" Eduardo anxiously asks as he heads into the kitchen, while Santos checks the dining room. The front door suddenly slams shut, startling the mothers. They quickly face the door as they step back from it.

"I'm glad you could all come." James says from the top of the stairs.

Everyone stops dead in their tracks at the sound of his voice. They each turn around and see James smirking at them. Their eyes widen in fear as they begin to walk backwards to the door.

"Why? Why are you here!?" Jasmin yells at him.

"Where are our children!?" Maria asks as she gulps loudly.

James grins even wider as reaches to his side and drags someone in front of him. They all gasp when they see Amber tied up by her wrist and mouth duck taped. James suddenly kicks her down the steps, she cries out in pain as she tumbles all the way down.

"Amber!!" Maria and Jasmin rush to her aid and see some blood trickling down the side of her head. Jasmin tears the tape off her mouth to Amber's her mouth bloodied up.

"Are you okay?" Maria softly asks her, Amber nods her head.

"He has them, he has the kids." Amber says aloud as she looks up at him.

"Where are they!?" Sun asks as she takes a step up. James crosses his arms and snaps his fingers, all of the lights in the house flicker off for a second before turning back on. No one sees James anymore.

"We have to find them and get the hell outta here." Santos says as he makes his way up with Sun.

"Why's he doing this Amber?" Jasmin asks her as she crouches down in front of her. Amber spits out some blood and shakes her head.

"It's the first test."

"Oh god." Is all Jasmin says before sitting on her butt.

"What does he want?" Maria curiously asks.
