The Murderer's Son

The Art of Faking It

"Hey you!" My voice spoke out bravely.

All the heads snapped in my direction and all my common sense flew strait back into my head.

"Ummm b-bye," I stuttered slowly inching my head down.

"Hold on," Calum sneered with a smile, "why weren't your hands tied? I think that Luke was the one to put you in the back anyways. He isn't one to be so forgetful."

I looked over to Luke, but his eyes were drawn to his twirling fingers. Of course Calum continued on,
"Such special treatment should not be tolerated and I believe that Kailey should stay in my room for now on."

I let out a frightened cry and Luke's muscles tensed under his shirt. I hated to admit it, but seeing anger on Luke's cherubic face brought me sorrow. Why would I worry about that now because my well being lies in Bill's hands and that should be my focus.

The silence was two much for me, so I addressed the guy in in corner, "Hey dude w-with a black um hoodie, I know you. H-how?"

Before the hooded man could answer Bill straitened his posture,
"Kaliey, you are being demanding and unafraid, so I think you should stay with Calum. I guess my own son is treating you with respect," he laughed.

"Please no," I begged. "Anything, I'll do anything."

Bill seemed satisfied with my pleading and turned to Luke. "You don't have to do anything sweetheart, but my son needs to redeem himself. So, you can stay with him under one condition....."

"Sleep with him," Michael interrupted. Everyone in the car laughed, except Luke, but there seemed to be more to the story.

I had no need to ask, "An innocent girl like you with Luke," Michael continued. "This guy used to take home a different girl everyday. All of the ladies went insane over him!"

This comment caused Luke to break a smirk on his face, "I know between my abs and my big di..."
"Okay, okay!" Tammy said and for the first time in a while she talked, "Here's the deal, you must sleep with Luke or you'll stay with Calum and we may or not kill you."
She then turned to Luke, "Your getting soft, you have your way with her and after hit her, abuse her, yell at her, everything."

Luke smiled and nodded his head, looking at me and I felt gross. Why would Luke do this to me? I thought that he saw me different.

I sunk back to the ground and burrowed my face in my knees, but then it occurred to me, was I really a virgin. I mean that said that I was innocent, but they can't know everything. Little did I know that I was to find out.

Later that evening I sat on Luke's bed terrified, but still hopeful that Luke would find a sliver of humanity within him.

Luke entered and all he said to me was, "They want evidence." He then grabbed my shoulders and pushed us eye to eye. "I'm not going to sleep with you okay. But we have to create a plan to fool them and it may make you uncomfortable."

Before I could grab ahold of my senses I pulled Luke into a large hug. His arms started hesitant, but then pulled me to his chest. It was a good hug full of warmth and comfort and it was what I needed.

"Listen Kailey," he said, "You're going to have to fake cry, scream, and whimper."

I pulled back immediately. I didn't like this plan, but Luke continued to explain, "I'm going to set up a video camera, as proof. That's what they told me to do. Don't worry it would only be a 5 second clip and they don't have to see and of your person parts, but you'll have to lay under me."
