Don't Believe What You See

Chapter Twenty Three

Peter stil laid in the streets, wishing for her to come back.

"Please come back," he said aloud through all the tears, "please, I need you." Peter closed his eyes, hoping that when he snapped them open, she would be waiting in front of him with a smile and a kiss. But sadly, the only thing that was waiting was an empty street and a broken heart.

"Peter, I'm," Daniel never finished his sentence, all he did was rest a hand on Peter's shoulder. Suddenly, the sadness in Peter turned into boiling hatred. He picked up the gun and pistol whipped Daniel across the face. The blow caused Daniel to fall on his back and grab his forehead which started to bleed. He moaned a few cuss words before being pulled back up to his feet. Peter grabbed his shirt and lifted him up. Daniel kicked his feet, trying to reach the ground, but eventually gave up.

"You're the reason she's gone!" Peter dropped Daniel slightly, so his feet were still off the ground, and wrapped his hands around his neck. Daniel gasped for air, but Peter just squeezed harder. Just as Daniel felt the life about to slip out of him, Peter dropped him to the ground. Daniel coughed and gasped as sweet air sweeped through him once again. Peter walked a few feet away from Daniel before screaming, "Tell me everything about what the hell just happened! Now!"

"Okay! Alright, I have this problem."

"What kind of problem?" Peter asked through gritted teeth.

"A gambling problem. I went to this casino with a fake I.D. a couple of weeks ago. I met Will at a poker table and we made a few bets. Before my brain caught up to my body, I got myself in debt with a lot of money."

"How much?"

"30,000 dollars." Peter scuffed at Daniel and ran his fingers through his hair. This could not be happening.

"Do you have any idea where they could've taken her?" Daniel shook his head back and forth a little, before stopping himself.

"Yeah. Will owns a barn. I don't know where, but he took me there once. It was in the middle of no where and was painted black with a red baseball bat on the side. The car ride wasn't that long from the casino, and I know which way we went!" Daniel said in excitment. Peter didn't wait for Daniel to finish, he just pulled his shirt into his car and they took off in Daniel's directions.
