Catch Us If You Can

Chapter 6:

Chapter 6: He Beat A Priest!

 

**Espen’s POV**

 

I was lucky last night that I didn’t get caught, I mean that could have been tragic. But what mystified me all night, and partially this morning is why Anthony’s deciding to keep me alive? For god sakes, I did try to kill him. Anyways, I’m just grateful I didn’t wake up dead in the L.A. River.

 

I hear a beeping noise outside of my window and look outside to see Anthony impatiently waiting.  I hurry up and grab my backpack and shoes and rush down stairs. I really don’t have any friends, so no one comes over my house. If my dad or the twins see them here it’ll be crazy.

 

While literally jumping on the last few steps as put my shoes on as well, I realize that I left my phone upstairs on my nightstand still plugged in. I bolt back up the stairs and grab my phone when I hear a knock on the door. I rush out of my room to open the door, but I’m too late.

 

“Who are you?” Sara asks as she looks up at Anthony who is a giant compared to her.

 

Mandy steps up and crosses her arms over her chest and glares at him with the ‘Who the hell are you’ look. “What do you want?” She asks angrily as she clenches her jaw.

 

“I’m looking for your big sis.” Anthony says in a nice tone as he squats down and looks at the girls. Luckily I’m close enough to where I can see him and the girls, but far enough to where he can’t see me on the steps.

 

Anthony ruffles the girls hair and Sara giggles while Mandy glares at him and pushes his hand off of her. “You must be Sara,” He points to Mandy and then to Sara, “and you’re Mandy? Right?”

 

“You’re dumb,” Mandy says which causes me to chuckle, “I’m Mandy, she’s Sara.” Mandy turns around and walks over the stairs and sees me. “Some guy is at the door looking for you Espen.” Mandy says as she walks past me and goes into to her room.

 

I walked down the rest of the stairs and pick up my book bag and walk towards the door. I pat Sara on the head and she smiles up at me and walks away. I look up at Anthony and roll my eyes at him. I rush past him and go to the car.

 

“Was it really necessary for you to come to the door?” I blankly ask.

 

“You were taking too long, next time hurry your ass up and I won’t have to come knocking on your door.” He and I make it to the car, he hold the door open for me, I notice that it’s his truck and his creepy girlfriend wasn’t there with him.

 

“What?” He asks as he runs around to the other side and sits down.

 

“Where’s your girlfriend?” I ask sweetly. He gives me a confused look. Apparently I’m gonna have to refresh his mind. “You know, dark black hair, crazy, she knocked me out… Val is it?” I remind him, he gags and coughs immediately after.
