Under the stars

"Oi boss," Lucas's voice came over the phone " I have the boy in sight. He's going to the left courtyard, I'm going to follow."

I heard shuffling and a then the line went dead. Stupid. He should've just kept me on, why in all of the people on earth did I choose him... "Ring, ring, ring..."

"Hello"

"Hey, boss I've got him but..oomph..." There were shuffling and a groan then another voice that yelled "aha boy, you'll never catch me! I'm the gingerbread man!" more shuffling while footsteps begin. Then another "oomph" an "awe poop, get off me you big hairy mongrel" and then I'm, or like the phone, is picked up and Lucas comes back on, "I've got him. I'll be there soon."

The line went dead.

Half an hour later Lucas's car pulls up, so I run down to the back entrance. I open the door for Lucas as he comes in with the boy. His hands are tied up, same with his legs, he has a blindfold and a gag that is doing little to muffle his screams of defiance. I look at Lucas with an amused gaze as he looks back bashfully.

"He wouldn't shut up" he exclaims defensively.

"What?! I didn't say anything." I say back amused.

"Blah, blah, blah" he imitates back in a funny tone.

"Your such a child"

"You're such an old man"

"You're horrible"

"Party pooper"

A scream and a thump bring us out of our fight when the kid tries to get up but fails.

" What do you want me to do with it?" Lucas asks

" Bring him to the guest bedroom don't untie him until all doors and windows are secured were not here to kill him we just need the money," I respond.

Lucas hoists him over his shoulder and heads to the bedroom.

"Darcy," I call the head maid over, "I want you to get 5 maids to shut and secure all doors and windows. We have a guest."

"Yes sir." she responds and scurries away.

I sigh it already been a long day and it wasn't even over yet. The house wasn't alive and the air became stale as the windows were closed. I headed over to the closet where the air conditioning device was, turning it on. The soft footsteps of the maids and the faraway sound of Lucas upstairs was barely heard as the house became quiet and lonely once more. Sure being the notorious gang leader had its perks, plus I hadn't been caught yet and probably never would since no one knows what I look like. But, it was lonely at times. Sure I had Lucas, but he had a wife and kids to get to, and besides my maids and butlers, with the occasional guest, hostage, the big house, I got lonely. I had my luxuries and I had my hobbies, but I just needed that one special person. I am good looking of course, but to be honest, I never have found that one person that I can see a future with, plus the fact that I'm gay doesn't widen my options.

I sigh and head up to the guest bedroom to see how Lucas is doing. I walk in and notice that the kid is tied to a chair now including the ties from before, thinking he's not much of a threat I dismiss Lucas with a head nod.

As the door closes softly behind him, the room is quite aside from the short frantic breaths from the boy. I walk over to him and begin to talk.

" Okay, you're going to be here for about a week while your daddy gets the money he owes me and pays up. During that time your not here to be tortured your to stay indoors and never try to run away if you do you will suffer the consequences."
