When the war is over

Chapter 8

Connor:

I drive over the speed limit too get to the house. Luckily no cops were around. I storm up to the front door and open the door.

"Caleb! Get your butt down here!" I bellow. Caleb slinks from the kitchen.

"Yeah, whats up, im kinda eating dinner and all..."

"Well that surely can wait." I retort.

"Care to tell me about a phone call that was made a few days ago?"

"What are you talking about. I only use my cell to call you." he replies.

"Then why do I have people at school saying they get a phone call from Clarence."

"I only found her in the kitchen." He smacks his head .

"Look I know I should watched her properly but-"

"Well now we're changing plans." I say.

"Get Clarence , tie her back up and put her in the car. In five minutes we'll clear out the place." I order.

"But why? Nothing's wrong..."

"Nothing's wrong. They told the police the number idiot! And you know how they know this place."

"Ok!" Caleb moves towards the stairs slowly.

"FASTER! FIVE MINUTES!" I yell. He starts running up the stairs.

I make a scan of the house making sure there was nothing the police could say happened here. So far clear.

I come in the foyer as Caleb is carrying a screaming Clarence down the stairs. Because I don't want attention drawn to us I get a rag and stuff it in her mouth.

"Did you really had to do that." He asked rhetorically. I shrugged and pointed to my ears. He sighed.

We dumped Clarence in the backseat and strap her in. I pull Caleb to the side to talk.

"Look we can't be seen together so meet us here. I give him a address. He nods, and we separate.

I start driving . Its about almost 5:00pm so I head to McDonalds. I go drive thru . Clarence is squirming in the back but I don't pay attention to her. I grab my food and park. I eat and I can tell Clarence is starving. But I don't want her to know I kidnapped her so I ignore her.

I start driving again, in silence we ride for about an hour. Until I hear ropes falling to the floor. I pull over quick.

I look behind and see Clarence is staring right at me.

I'm .In. Trouble.
