Tell Me... (Book 3 in the Can't Say series.)

Chapter 4

They raced the centre of the field, surrounded by the hundreds of thousands of shipping containers, either one could contain Avi and that car. The car screeched to a halt and Kevin and Scott threw themselves out the car before slamming the doors shut. Scott looked to Kevin, raising his arms in question.

"What do we do now?"

Kevin had already begun walking towards a random group of containers.

"Split up! Start looking around! He could be anywhere!"

Kevin ran off and Scott took off, both screaming their bandmate's name.

Avi was still sat with his back against the cold wall, crying is eyes out about his current situation. He hadn't even been here that long and he was already hearing voices in his head. He was alone and didn't know where he was. Left by himself with nothing but his muffled cries and those voices in his heads that somehow keep getting louder--

"avi!"

K that wasn't in his head... that was outside!

"Avi!"

Scott!

"MM!"

He did his best and shuffled around so he was facing the wall and it with his feet, in an attempt to alert his friend of his location but the only thing the noise did was echo off the exterior walls of all the other containers.

"'M MERE!"

"AVI?!"

Scott looked around. He didn't know that he was actually really far away from him but he did know that he could just keep going and walk towards the noise.

Kevin was running around like a lost dog. He had no idea of where he nor his boyfriend was and did the best thing he could think of, pulling out his phone and called Avi.

Avi had given up on kicking the wall with his feet and was laying in the best position he could with his hands tied behind his back. He was laying in a painful silence before he heard a weird noise and part of the container light up. His phone, someone was calling him! He did the best he could and swivelled to face away from the wall before sliding up and jumping over to the car and jumping inside, he wiggled over to the edge of the seat and peered over at his screen. Kevin!-- Missed call... he didn't answer it in time... he didn't know what to do now but lay there and cry. Unknowest to him, Scott heard the ringtone and was now stood between another container and Avi's container.

"AVI?!"

Avi looked up and towards the noise. Scott was right outside! He sat up and turned so his feet were dangling off the edge.

"MMM!"

"AVI?!"

"MMMMM!!! mhmm mhm..."

He heard footsteps as they travelled outside and in front of his container.

"AVI!? ARE YOU IN HERE?!?!"

"MHMMM!!! MMM!!!!"

He heard the poles on the container being shaken as Scott attempted to open the container.

"It won't budge."

He looked up and saw a padlock that was preventing him from getting in. He looked around and noticed a stray brick on the ground. Picking it up, he smashed the padlock in and threw the doors open. Avi was sat, arms and legs bound together and gagged with a thick piece of cloth, in the back of the open car looking at Scott with big, pleading eyes which soon widened with happiness and relief at the sight of his friend. He made a noise of happiness as Scott ran towards him and ungagged him before Scott stooped to his friends level.

"are you ok? you're not hurt or anything are you?"

"no, no i'm ok... i'm-- SCOTT!!"

He barely had time to warn him before Scott turned around and was immediately hit in the back of the head with a metal pole, falling unconscious the second impact was made. Avi looked up and saw the face of one of the men that tied him up earlier. He was smirking back at him before lowering the pole.

"you two enjoy your flight."

He walked back out.

"no, no No NO WAIT! WAIT!!"

He had closed and locked the doors one last time, Scott and Avi were trapped inside.

As for Kevin? He was searching through the field when the leading man came up behind him and knocked him square in the head with a pole, knocking him out on impact.
