i walk back to the house. what the hell is his job? who gave him his job?
i walk inside and go to my room. i wish the boy would literally just talk to me. i don't know who the hell he is. i don't even know how old he is. what if he's planning to kill me. i don't want to die.
i end up falling asleep. i wake up and look at the clock. it's noon. i need to stop waking up so late. i need to continue with my school work. i only have 5 lessons left until i have to take the "final exam" which for me, is online. after i take that i turn my books in and then i just wait for graduation.
i've already taken the SATS and everything else. i have applied for three colleges. i doubt i'll get into any of them, but it's still worth a shot.
i work through the rest of my history and take that final exam. that was the one subject that i had two lessons left to do.
in math i have five lessons. in english i have 3. and i don't have a science one to do.
i decide to go for a walk. i walk outside and walk around town since the city area isn't far from les and levi's house.
i round the corner and see that damn boy again. he's talking to some guy. it looks like they're arguing. i'm too far to try and read lips so i don't even try.
"help," someone calls.
i look to my left and see a guy in the alley on the ground calling for help.
i look at the one boy and run to the alley.
"help," the man yells.
as soon as i get close to him he stops shouting and stands up, "i thought you needed help," i say.
no i didn't, but they did," he says and points to the two guys who come out from the shadows of the alley and grab my arms.
the man walks away and i start kicking and calling for help. one of them covers my mouth with a rag and next thing you know i'm out.
i wake up and i'm in room, but it's a nice room, almost like a kids room. i get up off the bed, nothing holding me back. that's strange. normally if someone is going to kidnap you, won't they chain you up?
i try to open the door. it's locked. damnit. i hear talking from the other side;
"if he really wants her safe, he will find her and then we get what we really want."
"but what do we really what?"
"the money you idiot."
my door starts to open and i run to the bed and lay there, with my eyes open.
the door opens and i sit up, "oh good, she's awake."
"are you going to kill me?" i ask.
"yes."
"no we aren't you nimwit," one guy says and smacks the other.
"rob shut up," the one who got smacked says.
"we will end up killing you, if we don't get what we want," the one guy says.
the one named rob rolls his eyes.
"what do you want?" i ask.
"money," rob says.
"oh, i have none."
"we know, it's the boy who does," the other says.
"john would you shut up," rob says.
"he should be here any second now," john says.
"seems as the distraction worked," rob says.
"indeed it did."
"boss. he's here." a man says.
rob nods, "stay in here with her," he says and leaves.
"you're not gonna hurt me are you?" i ask.
he pulls out a knife, "i don't know, you can tell me," he says.
i start screaming for help and he covers my mouth and draws a line on my leg with the knife, cutting into my skin. i scream and the bedroom door bursts open.
"john you fucking idiot, i was negotiating with him," rob says.
"what's the fun in kidnapping if you can't hurt them? you've gone soft rob," john says and throws the knife at rob.
rob falls to the ground and i scream even louder. he just killed him. my leg stings so bad. i start crying and look at the boy. he looks at me and then at john.
"the money kid," john says.
"give me her first," he says.
john pulls a gun and aims it at me, "the money."
i start crying more and look at the boy. he better give him the fucking money. i don't want to die. i want to live a happy life.
the boy looks at me and then at john then back to me.
it was as if he was playing pros and cons.
"fucking pick," i say with gritted teeth.
i look at my leg and see the blood oozing from my leg. i stomp it on the ground and pain shoots through it. i scream and sit on the bed.
"the money now kid, you have till the count of 5."
"1."
he looks at me.
"2."
he looks at my leg.
"3."
he looks at john.
"4."
my life is over.
he pulls out a gun and shoots john. i gasp and jump back. he puts his gun away and rushes to me.
"are you okay?"
"do i look okay?" i ask.
he looks at my leg and then to me, "let's go," he says and lifts me up.
he carries me out of the building and cops swarm the place right as we get out of sight.
"what the hell." i say.
he walks to a car and sets me inside. he gets in the drivers seat and drives.
"where are we going?" i ask.
"shut up," he says.
i look at my leg, it hurts so bad.
he drives past les and levi's house, "where are we going?" i ask him again.
he doesn't say anything. he just drives.
he pulls into a long driveway that leads up to a huge house. he parks the car and walks over to me. he lifts me out of the car and walks inside.
"ahh so this is the prized possession everyone keeps talking about."
