Jack Cage looked at Jason, then his dad, then at their hostages. His friends. People like that are hard to find for him. He then looked at Jason and said, "You've got some balls to kidnap these two."
"Get in. Now." Jason said.
"Is that supposed to scare me? Your stupid voice? Cause it makes me wanna laugh instead."
"Listen to my Son. Get in." Mike said with venom in his voice.
"Oh. Hi Mike. How's drugs been lately?"
"How do you... know?"
"Magic."
"Get in or they die."
"Fine. But only cause of them. After this, I'll keep my word. I'll come for you," Cage said. Then he got in the car, next to Natalie and her Mother.
The ride was silent. Cage sat next to Natalie, who was terrified. So terrified she could not even cry. Cage didn't say anything for their sake. One wrong thing and they could harm Natalie and her mom. Cage didn't want that. So he devised a plan carefully. But right now they had leverage over him. But Jason was weaker than Cage. Cage knows it. He can take Jason down easily within seconds. His Father however, could kill Cage just as easily. Cage needed answers about the missing neighbour and Mike's Wife. He already confirmed that the shipment coming on Friday was illegal drugs hidden. Now, he fears the worse for the missing cases.
"Not so tough now huh kid," Mike said.
"Just you wait. After this, you better be looking over your shoulder 24/7. I'm coming hard for you," Cage replied.
"Nah. You won't be walking out of this. Especially when you know more than any ordinary person should."
"I thought it would have occurred to you by now I'm no ordinary person."
"Which makes you more dangerous."
"So. Are you going to do to me what you did to your wife?"
"DON'T YOU DARE. I WILL KILL THEM YOU HEAR ME?" Mike shouted, in a venomous tone.
"Tsk Tsk. Not so tough now huh?" Jason said.
"Oh Jason. I'm tougher than you. Ask your dad to pull over, and you and I will settle things. After all the only reason I'm in this was because you wanted revenge right? Let these two go and we will settle," Cage said.
"Nah. You deserve worse," Jason said and the car went silent again.
After a while, they pulled over in a field. Where? Cage doesn't know. They then pulled Cage out of the car, made him kneel down, took a Golf Club, and smacked Cage in the head with it. Cage fell unconscious. Natalie and her mom looked on with fear as they put Cage in the booth and drove off again.
