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

Chapter 19

Scott:

We were crawling through the vents for... God knows how long. We stopped for the night to sleep, even though we got hit by cold air coming through one of the nearby vents causing Avi to shiver throughout the whole night.

"scott?"

"hmm??"

"how much longer?"

"i dunno, a."

To tell you the truth... We have been crawling for at least a good few hours now. It was probably well into the morning, say about... 10 or 11... possibly even 12 o'clock, since we woke and started moving again.

"i really hope we find one of the vents we're looking for..."

"me too, a... me too..."

We continued crawling but I stopped causing Avi to bump into my butt.

"ow, scott why'd you--"

"shh... listen..."

"How are you telling me you don't know where they are?!?"

"W-we searched boss... W-we couldn't find them..."

"bullshit, BullShit, BULLSHIT!!"

Daniel... He sounded pretty mad if you ask me.

"I want that blunt blonde and biting brunette back here before 12 or you're all in for it."

"B-But sir! That 15 minutes!"

"Better work fast then."

Many footsteps were heard travelling as we heard one final voice.

"You'll be mine, Avi... no matter what it takes."

I felt Avi shudder behind me.

"we won't let him let's keep moving."

We continued shuffling through the vents before Avi began talking again.

"i'm not biting..."

"i know you aren't"

"do you know where we're going?"

I was silent.

"no... i was hoping we would come across light or--"

The distant sound of police sirens was heard.

"it's them. they came!"

"shh. quick, shuffle towards the noise."

"Boss?"

"I hear them. Let's go meet them outside and give them a... friendly welcoming..."

"they're gonna hurt them, scott."

"not if we can help it. keep going.

We speed crawled towards the noise leading us to an opening. I saw him... Mitchie...

Mitch:

I was hiding behind the police car with Kirstie and Esther while Kevin and the officer were stood in front. Kirstie and I being short and scared and esther claiming she needed to be shielded to get a good look for Scott and Avi, in case they walked out during a shoot out. Daniel walked out with his minions close behind him, all armed with rifles.

"I see you came for them after all."

"Yeah, we did. Now, where are they?"

Kevin asked, taking a demanding stance with it.

"I wouldn't move so frisky if I were you. I won't hesitate to shoot both of them between their eyes. I have both of them in holding cells so it wouldn't be too hard"

"I thought you said you didn't know where they were? You found 'em, boss?"

You could tell Daniel and the rest of his minions mentally face palmed because of the stupidity of the shortest one, who wasn't that short... Scott's height if you ask me. Daniel turned to the short one muttering something we couldn't hear but clearly intimidated him.

"So you don't know where they are?"

"I do know where they are... I just haven't got their exact location..."

"So you've lost them."

"I haven't lost 'em!"

I don't know what happened but next thing I knew was all guns were being drawn so the three of us behind the car had drawn our guns.

"Daniel, hand them over and no one gets hurt."

"You can take the blonde... but the brunette stays with me."

"You weren't given the option, Daniel! Give them both back! Scott and Avi!"

"That's the problem. Avi belongs to me!"

"He doesn't belong to you! He doesn't belong to anyone! Precisely why he shouldn't stay with you! You don't even know how to treat him like a human being!"

"He should stay with me."

"Give me one good reason why?"

"... Because he is the only man I ever loved... and he was the only one who ever loved me. You can find anyone to love... I can't... no one else cares or cared for me as he did. I was happy and you took that away from me! I don't want to lose him to anyone and certainly not you."

"But you already have."

"stop it."

"You lost him when you first hurt him. Many years ago."

"Stop It!"

"Why? Because I'm telling the truth? Like I've said before, He's worth more than you could ever give and provide for him. You're not worthy of him, Daniel you're not worthy of anyone!"

"STOP IT!"

And just like that. The first shot was fired.
