"Your girl has one hour" repeated the man
***
I look down into my texts and I received a message, I read it.
One hour
I flip my phone over to show Stan.
"It's about time we find him" Stan said
Stan and I walk over to the park only to see a letter on a bench with the words written on it for Cora I open it to read the words.
56th Avenue
I show Stan.
"Let's go" Stan says
Stan and I hop onto a city bus and get off in front of the house on 56th Avenue, I don't bother knocking I just enter.
"Illias?!" I yell "where are you?!"
"Ahh" Stan screams because of a spider
"Sorry" he said
"Down here" Yelled Illias
Stan and I ran downstairs to see Illias tied against a house pole.
"Help" Illias said
I ran to untie Illias from the pole.
"You're bleeding Illias" I said
"It's okay just a scratch I'm okay I promise" Illias replied
I grab the knife that was on the floor and untie Illias, he gets up.
"Stand behind me" said Illias
Stan stood beside Illias, and me behind.
"Bravo! bravo!" Said the man "you found me"
"What do you want with her?" Illias said
"Didn't i already tell you, I want her and her money" said the man "I've know you for five years" he said "you're just so beautiful"
"Wait, I remember" I said " you're the man who was jealous of Illias for having me, you wanna kill him to have me" I said stepping forward
"Cora what are you doing get behind me!" Said Illias
"It's okay, he wants you" I said
"If I wanted him I would have killed him when I had the chance" he said
"Then why didn't you?!" Illias yelled
"Because Cora would never love me" he replied
"That's all you want?!" I said
"All I ever wanted" he said
"Tough, because I'm taken" I said walking into illias' arms holding his chest
"Then I'll kill all three of you" he said
"No!" Stan yelled "Look I've been jealous of Illias too, but that didn't lead me to be rash"
"Well that's who I am, rash" said the man
"Stop maybe we can work through this, your our age why don't we become friends?" Asked Stan "take a chance with us?"
"First be gone with all of you, if I make the decision you'll see me at school" the man said
"I hope we do" I replied
