No One Can Know

Chapter 20

Janet

I run across the room to Benjamin whose laying on the couch. I quickly check his pulse and I'm relieved to know he's still breathing.

"Janet stop being over dramatic!" Danny yells. "Over dramatic? He asked one question that you could have easily answered. Now when he wakes up he's going to have more idiot!" I say getting up. "He'll be okay. Look I panicked Janet, I was expecting this talk one day but not this soon." Danny says. "Well when he wakes up we're going to tell him the truth and turn ourselves in." I explain.

"Turn ourselves into to what?" Danny asks confused. "To the cops Danny. I know you don't expect to go back on the run again?" I ask. "Janet I can't and I won't go to prison! So that means that we are going back on the run if we decide to tell Benjamin the truth." Danny explains.

"Danny I'm so tired of living this lie. I want to be happy again and sleep peacefully!" I scream. "You can do all of that while we hide out in Bangkok!" Danny yells. "No I can't I'm telling the cops!"

I turn my attention back on Benjamin and stroke his cheek. The room gets quiet and I begin to cry. I turn my face towards Danny and his fist meets my jaw. Suddenly everything goes black.

Danny

"Danny have you lost your fucking mind!" Janet yells. "Shut up and let me think!"

Janet sat in the middle of the living room tied to a chair. She wiggled and screamed with all her might but couldn't get loose.

"Jesus you're crazy! I don't know what I saw in you!" Janet yells.

I quickly pull my gun out and slap the fuck out of her.

"Dad?" Benjamin softly says. "Benjamin we are so sorry!" Janet blurts out. "SHUT THE FUCK UP JANET!"

Benjamin looks at me with disgust. He was about to say something when he realized that he was tied up too.

"Benjamin, baby everything is going to be okay. Just relax baby." Janet whispers.

"So are you going to tell me the truth or continue to lie to me!" Benjamin yells. "Boy watch who the fuck you yell at!"I sigh.

"Okay listen. Toni and I were married and I always wanted kids but she didn't. She got pregnant with you and I was so happy. Later I found out that Kenny and Toni had been messing around since we were in high school. Which was as long as Janet and I  were messing around. Toni and Kenny had you and lived this amazing life so we kidnapped you. We just wanted to be parents Benjamin you have to understand where I'm coming from."

"I understand. But how can you take me from what I know? Like who am I really? How could you do this to me! I hate both of you! My whole damn life is a lie!" Benjamin yells.

"Benjamin watch your mouth!" Janet yells.

"No Aunt Janet! I will not watch my mouth!" Benjamin yells.

Janet begins to cry. I quickly walk up to a ranting Benjamin and place the cloth back over his mouth and nose. He faints again. I untie Janet from the chair but I keep her tied up. I put tape over her mouth and pack up our vehicle. I put Janet in the backseat and strap her in. I hurry back inside and untie Benjamin and kiss his forehead.

"I just wanted to be a father. I didn't mean to ruin your life." I whisper to him.

Benjamin

I wake up and look around to an empty house. I look every where and see that everything that belonged to them was gone. I quickly run to the front door to head to the only place I know I can go.
