Missing

Chapter 13: Eye For An Eye Part 2

Ben's Point of View

The Next Day

Its a normal summer end of July morning. Well, except your friend was taken. I am at the Golden Keys Gym where Mark one of my acquaintances from school. He says "A man dressed in a lab coat attacked Dwayne and took him". Now, I am involved, Dwayne was taken. When I arrived here I thought it would be good news but it just made the situation even worse.

I stay back not knowing what to do or say. An officer walks up to me and says "Look we have our cops checking the street cameras because we believe this man is responsible for stealing your sister, and your friends. If our guess if correct then well your sister should be found in a day or two so there is nothing to worry about. You can go home now".

I am thinking so many things right now. Is Dwayne's disappearance a good thing. Its a key to finding my sister and Riot. Although, if he dies I will feel so horrible, almost like a monster. Although, I do know this, by tomorrow I am leaving to find my sister with or without help. I know that somewhere down there in that area where we caught one of the bad guys, there is a location of where my sister is, I will just have to find it. I say "Harper we need to go to the abandoned house and then tomorrow we are going to find my sister".

She says seriously "Okay, lets go". I smile at her and she smiles at me. She says "Wait I have a surprise for you, first we are going to the park".

I giver a look of confusion and she says "It will only be a minute, come on"!

I say "Okay", with a concerning smile.

Mia's Point of View

Its morning again and all of yesterday we have been trying to get out of here. The windowing is still shining a ray of sunshine through it. Riot is still asleep when I hear someone coming. I think quickly and start to panic. I calm myself down by grabbing my wrist and squeezing it. I take a deep breath. I look around the room and thats when I realize, the window. I try to get it open and I grunt knowing it won't even budge, I grab a lamp and smash it through the window.

I look down and see the bush knowing I am going to have to jump. I look over at Riot and mouth "I am sorry, I will be back". I crawl and glass starts to cut my legs and arms. I stand on the window frame and I close my eyes. I shake my head no, and I take a deep breath and let it all out. With a broken and sore body I jump feeling the floor fall before me. I land in the bush and feel a little pain in my right knee. I can't move, it does not even hurt that bad. I just am still shocked and I am frozen.

The man looks down at me and gives me the dirtiest look. He gets his head back in the room. I start to cry in pain and panic. I grab into a stick of the bush and try to get up. I fall back down after hearing the stick just snap in half. The man grabs me and punches me in the face knocking me out.

I wake up in a chair that I am tied to with a rope, and I see Riot and Dwayne with there mouths taped shut and they both are screaming through the tape. With there eyes wide open and sweat dripping down their face. I scream "What the hell is this"?

The scientist walks in with a gun. He says "I kidnapped Dwayne last night and they are on to us sweetie, so one of them needs to go so we can pack up and move".

I say "I am not picking and where are we going"?

He says "Your picking one of them, and we are going to a placxe where you know of. Have you ever heard of Devil's Woods"?

I say "Yes, but why there"?

He says "There are so many abandoned houses there and plus no one even lives back there except for a few so its a perfect place"!

I ask "Why are you doing this to me, why are you going to make me choose"?!

He says with anger "You killed my wife, and I loved her, so now I am going to kill either your boyfriend or your girlfriend".

I say "I have made my decision".

He asks "Who, is it this beautiful young one with a bright future as a writer and photographer? Or Dwayne who will be an NBA player with his mad skills on the court. The choice is yours".

I say 'Wow you must really want to make this hard on me don't you"? He nods and smiles. I continue "I choose me, I am done with these games, kill me and let them go, your going to do it eventually so why right now"?

He hesitates and says "Okay, since you won't pick, I will".

He takes his gun and points at right at Riot, smiling and laughing. I yell "No!!!". He points the gun at Dwayne and shoots him right in the head. I start trying to untie the ropes, I say "You bastard you killed him".

He says "You picked him".

I say with tears escaping from my eyes "Your right I did, it was my fault..... wait no it wasn't you pulled the trigger, you confused me, you wanted Dwayne to die all along". He nods his head, my hands doing the untying. My hands are free but I cannot make a move yet, I will have to wait. Still crying, he walks away and says "I am going to pack my bags and we leave tomorrow after lunch got it"!?

I nod my head, now is my chance, I have to do it. It is game time.
