I Spy

Chapter 32- Ready, Set, Aim

      I aim the gun seeing them in pain sight. My hand rests on the trigger. Mitch clutch's a knife beside me.
      "What are you guys doing?" Mr. Bird sneers.
     "What do you think, we want out of here!" Mitch snaps.
"Mitch listen to your self. You could come to this side be our inside man. We have so many great things you would enjoy. With you we could be brilliant!" Mr. Brady.
Mitch walks over to his fathers side, my mouth hangs over ajar.
"What the hell Mitch, we've been through everything. What are you doing? Come back here!" I shout.
"I'm sorry Jem—"
"Don't you Jem me! Your nothing but a traitor!" I scream.
"Tie her up Mitch, to prove your worth to us."
     Mitch hobbles over to me his father follows at his own will. I raise my hands  up. "Well father you forgot one tiny detail, Jem's my girlfriend and you are just a bad guy."
      His last words hurt my heart as I watch a family get torn. His hand grips the knife his eyes gleam with hatred and misery. "You cruel man! And to think I called you "dad" once!"
      "Mitch stop!" I scream.
      "No Amethyst, this has gone long enough! His life needs to end!" He holds the knife up to his fathers neck.
     "No Mitch! Violence is not an option, just take it from me! I used to be like this, you changed me! Got that, you did, no one else just calm yourself!"
     His eyes dart to me than back at his father. He is not the guy I once knew, he's changed.
      "Let us go!" He says breaking the ice, "and I'll let his go!"
      "You'd never hurt me boy!"
      "Really!" He says drawing the dagger nearer. "I'm not the little boy you once knew!"
     "Okay there sonny boy. You'll see that you're the same kid at heart. The same kid who loved to splash in puddles and go swimming! You're the same kid, just older."
     "No I'm not!" He screeches, the blade draws down his fathers neck. Blood stains the blade.
     "No Mitch..."
