Home Alone Fan Fiction Remake

chapter 6

Kevin looked among the other choices for produce.

"Has anyone seen Maxine?" a woman behind a counter asked her employees who just shrugged. "That girl has no free time anymore..."

Chelsea frowned softly as she heard that. She thought that maybe Maxine was working and had forgotten to tell her that she couldn't come to visit.

The woman came behind her desk and looked to Chelsea as she came with the toothbrush just as Kevin collected personal groceries. "Ah, how may I help you?" she asked them.

Chelsea stood beside her brother, her face looking firm and cautious.

Kevin took the toothbrush and showed the woman. "Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?"

"Well, I don't know..." the woman took a look at it. "It doesn't say, hon."

A man in boots came into the pharmacy and slammed his bloody bandaged hand on the counter. Chelsea put her arm out as if to block the man from getting closer, protecting Kevin. Kevin felt a disturbance and looked up, then backed away to Chelsea, feeling uncomfortable and scared instantly. The woman was talking with one of her fellow employees about the toothbrush, unaware of Kevin's fright. Chelsea flung some cash on the counter, and then ushered Kevin out.

Kevin clung to Chelsea and they made their escape and the employees watched them leave so quickly, but at least they left some money instead of shoplifting. Chelsea walked quickly with Kevin, not even noticing that the van was started up, ready to leave the Murphys' drive. Kevin actually did hold Chelsea's hand this time as they walked down the street, he was trying to be brave, but he wasn't fooling anyone. That was such a bonehead move. He didn't notice the van either. However, the van came close right in front of Kevin which startled him and made him scream, but it had stopped inches in front of his face and he screamed.

Harry stepped hard on the breaks. He rolled down his window and stuck his head out. "Hey, you got to watch out for the traffic." he says, showing all his teeth.

Chelsea pulled Kevin protectively behind her. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw Marv.

"S-Sorry..." Kevin huddled toward Chelsea for comfort and protection.

"Santy don't visit the funeral homes, buddy." Marv taunted the kid for getting in their way.

"Okay, okay. Merry Christmas." Harry says. He smiled, showing his gold tooth.

"Geez, you don't have to scare the kid." Chelsea retorts, not happy Kevin was scared.

Kevin studied Harry, feeling he had seen this man before and once his tooth gleamed, it hit him. That was the same visitor before everybody else left early this morning and talking with their father about robberies and burglars. That could not be a coincidence.

"Why don't ya keep him on a leash?" Marv snorted to Chelsea. "That's what my parents did."

Harry's smile faded a little. Chelsea merely stuck her tongue out at Marv, and turned with Kevin, starting to walk away. Kevin stuck with Chelsea, feeling a little weird in his stomach.

Marv noticed Harry's grim look. "What's the matter?"

"I don't like the way that kid looked at me. You see that?" Harry asked. "And what about the girl with you?" He adds.

"I dunno what her problem is... She kept asking me questions about the Murphy's..." Marv remembered.

"She was the one who might be onto us," Harry realizes. He looked at Marv. "You should've grabbed her like I suggested!" He then scolds the taller man.
