Living With A Criminal

Characters: Bon Scott, Angus Young

This couldn't be happening, I didn't just see this. I'm probably dreaming because this can't be real. When do I get up? All these thoughts were running into Angus's mind. The shocked guitarist stood in front of Bon Scott, someone he thought he knew but he was wrong. Angus couldn't move, he wanted to run away from his band mate but he couldn't because he was froze on his spot, what he saw made him lose control of his body. Bon hadn't notice that the small guitarist was there, he was too concentrated into looking at what he did. Young stepped back when he was finally able to move but he fell on a guitar case that was behind him. When Bon heard the sound, he quickly turned his head to see what was the sound.

"Angus? Since when are you here?" Asked the singer slowly walking close to his band mate.

"Way too long." Quickly replied Angus as he got up from the guitar case. Young ran out of the room where he saw the horror then upstairs. What if he saw me? What if he tells the others? I'll be unmasked and the guys will reject me, thought Scott. He didn't know if running after his band mate was the best idea but he started to run after him.

"Angus, please wait, it's not what you think it is." Said Bon running behind Angus. The small man turned his head to look at the singer but didn't stop running. I have to get out of Bon's house. What if he does the same thing he did to me? Thought Angus as he breathed heavily. Since Angus was shorter than bon, it was easier for Scott to catch up with the guitarist.

"Angus! Now you stop!" Screamed Bon grabbing the guitarist by the shoulder to push him on the floor. Angus looked around and realised that he almost made it to the front door, all he has to do is to get out of the singer's hold and he'll be able to get out. The guitarist looked back at the singer that was on top of him as they both tried to catch their breath.

"How can you do that? I had no idea that you could do something that horrible!" Said Angus in panic.

"Just shut up Angus. If you continue to move like this I'll get unmask and you'll be my next victim in punishment." Half-yelled Bon getting on top of Angus to make him stop moving.

"Just answer my question and I'll stop moving." Replied the short man.

"I'll tell you Angus that sometimes you think that you know someone but they hide secrets to people and eventually you discover those secrets and this person is a total different person that the one you imagine. That's actually our case Angus, you thought you knew me but there are secrets that you don't know that could change the way you see me when you discover them and you have a good exemple today." Explained Bon real slowly as Angus stopped moving like he promised earlier.

"Angus, this thing can end well or badly, it's you who decides how it will end. Started Bon moving off Angus's stomach. You saw what I did earlier and if you promise that you won't tell anyone, I won't do this to you but if you tell someone you will finish in my basement and nobody will find you." Finished Bon . Angus swallowed with difficulty thinking that whatever he'll choose, it will be good for Bon and bad for him. Scott will be safe and Young will be stuck with bad memories or in the singer's basement.

"Tell me the answer right now or else you go in the basement." threatened the singer.

"I won't tell anything Bon, I promise!" Said Angus with a petrify voice.

"Good boy Angus. Now let's go back to rehearsal." Said Bon as if nothing had happen. They both got up from the floor and Angus followed Bon with anxiety in him. After all Angus was living with a criminal that killed someone in his basement.
