Stolen Hearts And Secrets

Chapter 27

I waited for Allen to continue the story but he stopped.

"Well aren't you gonna finish?" I asked

Allen shrugged,"I don't think you wanna hear the rest, it's pretty be violent and sad."

"Oh come on I can take it, I swear." I told him

He took a deep breath,"I don't Zoey this is a true story and I dont want you to get any ideas."

"Please Allen just finish the story you can't leave me on a cliff hanger."

He opened his mouth to reply when the front door opened, in walked mom, dad and cheery looking Alec.

Mom eyes widened when she saw all of us huddled on the couch,"Oh wow we didn't know we'd have company." She chuckled

"Sorry mom it was unexpected." Allen said

"Heh what's that dent on he wall?" Dad questioned

Me, Carson, and a Allen exchanged a look,"Oh nothing I accidentally hit it with the door." Allen lied

"Huh." Dad processed

"OK well I'm gonna go make some snacks for you all call me if you need me." Mom told us

"Mom that's not really necessary." Allen said

She dismissed it,"Oh sure it is, wouldn't want hungry guest now would we?" She challenged

"No ma'am."

She patted his face,"Good,now carry on."

We watched her go,"Sorry about that guys."

"Nah its fine, frankly i actually am kinda hungry." Cameron chuckled

We laughed,"There's no suprise in that." Kyle said

"Anyways I don't think you wanna know the rest of the story." Allen confirmed

"Oh come one we've come this far haven't we, I really wanna know what happened. What lead to you joining a gang? How you needed up meeting all of these people." I argued

He sighed,"Maybe another time."

I crossed my arms,"Fine but at least tell me why you owe money to this so called Victor." I bargained

"I figured if I stole the money there wouldn't be a problem anymore but I was mistaken, it made things much worse." He answered

I nodded,"You really do have a way of making situations worse don't you."

"He sure does." Cameron agreed

"Anyways let's head out we've got business to handle, Cameron do you mind looking after Zoey please."

"Sure thing." Cameron said

"If you want I could-" Carson started to volunteer

But Allen dismissed him,"No no its fine I need you with us."

Carson nodded Allen turned to us,"We'll be back make sure nothing happens."

"I won't let anything happen." Cameron promised

They left leaving the house quite again.

"Hey I'm gonna ago help my mom in the kitchen I'll be back. Want anything?" I asked Cameron

"Uh yeah just a water."

I nodded and got up to go to the kitchen, only to scream when I found something horrible.

A note scribbled in blood red said: If you want your family alive I suggest you come alone.

1523 silverwood alley

Cameron came running in,"What is it??"

I held up the note,"Oh no." He said

"I have to go." I decided

"No you can't."

I started to walk towards the door but he caught my arm,"You can't, I won't allow you too, I'll lock you in your room if I have too."

I yanked my arm out his grip,"Please Cameron they could die if I dont."

"I won't let that happen."

"But how I can't just sit here and do nothing."

"Please I'll take care of it." He assured me

I sighed,"I'll be in my my room." With that I went upstairs and shut the door

There was no way I was just going sit here and I'd nothing, it was clear I had no choice but to be obedient and go.

I tried to open my window only to find it bolted shut along with a tiny not write in the corner: Think twice before you think about escaping.

~Carson

I rolled my eyes and went to Allen's room, his window was unlocked,in opened it and thought about my choices. I had two options, one jump down and risk breaking my legs, or two use his blanket to create a rope down to climb down.

Clearly option two seemed more reasonable so I got to work.

5 minutes later I dangled about 20 feet off the ground,"Gosh this is so dangerous." I said

I finally managed to hit the ground with any scratches, I looked back up at his room wow that's pretty high up.

I reached into my jacket for my car keys, greeted by an empty pocket. Now how am I supposed to get there?

I looked around and spotted Allen's motorcycle.

I ran my hands along the leather seat,"I shouldn't."

I sighed and climbed on slipping on the helmet.

Here goes nothing, I started it with the hidden key that was beneath the seat.

It roared to life, here I come hang in there guys. Part of me hoping they were OK and weren't harmed. There was no telling what Victor would do.

I just hoped I'd get there in time..
