Future Diary Episode 20:Captivity

"Tomorrow is the day," Chris said with a perky smile as he spun his keys around.

"Ah yes, Thanksgiving," Strat said as he put gloves on.

"What are you going to do if people ask you about the disappearance of Dalton? I mean I'm really worried about her," Chris said.

"You're the only one who's worried about her. She was never loved in her life since most of her family committed suicide and never cared about her. If anyone asks I'll just say that we classified it as a suicide. No one cares to see her body," Strat said.

"Well they will ask to see the footage," Chris said.

"Go break the evidence then. We can't have you losing your job now can we?" Strat said.

"Will do sir, but shouldn't you come with me? I'd rather not have you being killed while I'm gone," Chris said.

"No one is targeting now are they?" Strat said looking at his phone.

"They could be," Chris said.

"Listen Chris, I don't know who's side you're on anymore," Strat said putting down his phone.

"I've always been on yours and Dalton's side," Chris said.

"But now you've made deals with number 5, for all I know he could've asked you to kill me," Strat said.

"Listen that's because he saved Dalton," Chris said.

"And why have you been at the hands and knees of number 16? Honestly I don't think there is a more retarded person than you," Strat said grabbing a tie and putting it on.

"Sir, you're at the hands and knees of number 16 too. Everyone is," Chris said.

"Did I ask you?" Strat asked. Chris went silent as Strat fixed his hair in the mirror.

"You look pretty prepped up today sir, is there a special occasion I don't know about?" Chris asked.

"Just a visit to his memorial," Strat said checking himself out.

"You still miss him? It's been 20 years," Chris said.

"Ah yes, and my only life goal was to impress him, but that didn't happen now did it?" Strat asked as he walked out slamming the door. Chris took a deep breath and sat down in a chair. He scrolled through his text messages and then got up and headed to the Jail. Meanwhile Strat was walking to a graveyard site that wasn't too far away. He went to a certain grave and sat down in front of it crossing his legs. He sighed as he clapped his hands together and closed his eyes.

"Father I promise you I'll win this game. For you, because I know you'd want me to," Strat mumbled as tears fell down his face. "Dammit you inspired me, I became mayor for you, I really wish you could see me now. I'm strong, finally I'm strong."

The soil became wet from the tears that were dropping from Strat's face. He placed his hands in the wet soil and collapsed to the ground. A girl stood behind him, it was Kaeli.

"Hey mayor Strat, um I don't mean to bother you, but are you okay?" Kaeli asked approaching Strat.

"Is that you Kaeli?" Strat asked turning around as he wiped tears away.

"Yeah it is," Kaeli said with a smile.

"I hope you know your father is a real pain in the ass," Strat said laying down on the ground looking at the light blue sky.

"I figured that out a few years ago. I mean hey, I can't really relate to a fatherly figure dying, but if it helps mine was never really there for me. He's stubborn, selfish, irresponsible, and only cares about money. Stingy, that's what I hate most about him. Not only that, but he's overprotective! I'm his only child, sheesh I can handle myself," Kaeli said puffing up her cheeks.
