Captured (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 28

*Marie's P.O.V*

I stood there and waited for the boys to get out of my way.

"What are you going to do with the codes?" Niall asked.

"Is it really any of your business?" I snapped.

I tried to push past the boys to leave, but they created a wall that they wouldn't let me through.

"I have a gun," I stated, matter-of-factly.

"So do we," Louis shot back.

I watched as Zayn pulled out a gun and aimed it in my direction. Are you kidding me?

"Here's your choice. Zayn can shoot you now or you could come back to our house with us...along with the codes," Liam offered.

"How about no? I can leave, take MY codes with me, and then you can leave too. I suggest it be before the cops get here," I shot back.

"You heard your choices, Marie. Now pick one before we're all busted," Liam evenly spoke.

"You heard what I said too! Why do you want the codes so bad? I got them as a birthday present, so that means they're mine. Not Daniel's, not John Doe's, and certainly not yours," I sputtered.

"Listen, do you know what importance those codes hold? Are you saying you're going to keep all that money to yourself and risk getting killed alone?" Liam questioned.

I paused to think about what Liam said.

Do I know what importance the codes hold?

Uh, duh I do. You can have riches upon riches from finding his hidden money. An instant millionaire!

Was I going to keep the money for myself?

Yes. Why wouldn't I? Maybe I could get a real job, pay to go to school, or buy a better house. Who wouldn't want that?

Was I going to risk getting killed alone?

I can handle myself. Tonight's party was a risk, and I did it all alone. My plans had succeeded. John is dead, Daniel is dead, and I have the codes.

Now if the boys would just move out of my way...

"Yes, yes, and yes," I answered, dismissively.

Now do they get the hint?

"C'mon Marie, don't be like that. Please just come back with us. You don't have to give up the codes. That's not what we're asking you to do. All we're asking is for you to take an opportunity to relax and come back to our house. Your room is still the same way you left it and everything," Liam pleaded with me.

"Now why would I do that? You guys kidnapped me and now you want me to come back? Did somebody put you up to this?" I pointed an accusing finger at them.

"No one-I swear. Admit it, we're giving you a pretty good offer. We're giving you a place to stay and not even asking you to give us the codes!" Liam cried.

"I already have a home, idiots," I furrowed my eyebrows.

Did they think I needed shelter to stay at? That I was all alone with nowhere to go? If anything, I would just sleep in the limo I stole instead of go with them.

"That's not the point!" Louis frustratedly cried.

"Then what is?!" I screamed, right as the sound of police sirens came into ear shot.

"Uh-oh," Niall nervously gulped.

I looked down at Daniel's limp body on the floor. It was too late to hide the body, but as long as I got out of here fast, the cops wouldn't know it was me.
