Boy. 17. Lost.
Aaron is at his last year in high school when he sees his reflection in the mirror and cries. His whole life is a mess, with him always fighting with his thoughts. Depression has always been in his bloodstream, with dark clouds circl...
Aaron wakes up as his head bumps on the ceiling of the trunk. He is blindfolded, with a napkin tucked inside his mouth. His hands and legs are tied. He is shouting, but his voice goes down his throat instead of going out . It hurts, with his chest almost exploding, but Aaron keeps trying. He starts kicking everywhere, directionless. Sightless-ness gets him panicked, and sweat spots start appearing on his forehead. The sweat dripping down the side of his forehead mixes with his tears as he starts to wail in anguish. Suddenly his stomach cramps as Mr. Betton's words hit inside his head.
'You don't know them'.
He thinks of Shae, as to how compassionately he opened up to him and how he faces the consequences now. A tear drop falls as the shivers of betrayal run down his spine. He does what he should have done to Shae at the airport; gives two wild kicks at the trunk and is at the verge of unconsciousness when the car stops, and he raises his head. As the trunk is opened, Aaron throws his body up and down, right and left until a tough hand slaps him, grabs his collar and throws him outside the trunk and on the ground. A body gets over him, and quickly opens his blindfold. Aaron sees black, then deep purple, then blue, and then, Shae.
'' Mmmmnnnnmmmmmmssshhhhh!!!'' , says Aaron.
''You're welcome'', Shae says, putting the blindfold away. '' Listen...we're not gonna kill you, okay? Just a little bit of torture, and we'll be done with you''.
Aaron kicks hard, and rolls over but Shae pulls him back to the place.
'' If you move, it'll hurt more''.
Shae places his body over Aaron's stomach, pinning him to the ground.
'' Now...for some fun..''.
As Shae pulls out a pocket knife, Aaron screams in desperation.
'You don't know them'
He closes his eyes, shivering in pain, just as a very familiar voice whispers while laughing.
''Are...you...serious?''. Aaron's breathless voice ends with a gasp just as both Zack and Shae nods.
'' Yeah well...Irina's plan. He couldn't let Mr. Betton know about this. He was sound asleep when I saw him last time. The girls left early for shopping, and they must be on their way. They left us with the responsibility to bring you here. We just...wanted to make it more dramatic''.
Aaron rubs his face and massages his forehead, while they wait. Then replies in a whisper, after drinking some water, '' But how did you...'', he pants, '' how did you take me out of the hotel?''.
''Easy. We had an empty suitcase. We tied you in no time. The chloroform, however, lasted longer than we expected''.
