Hostage

Chapter 5

We were ready to head off to the city of Bangiler, but I had something in mind for the trip, wether it was legal or illegal. "Hey Jackilen!", I told her before we headed out of town. She stopped her truck, and looked in the back. "Yeah?", she responds. "I think we should bring some kind of weapons.", I told her seriously. She looked back at the front. She was breathing heavily. "I think I know an old friend who might have some useful things for us.", she says. She then starts the truck again, and drives again. We arrived at a house, still inside the city, where it looked like the people who live here are super neat, literally. I wonder how Jackilen has such a neat friend, when she barely knows where her own keys are. All three of us got off, and went up to the front door. Jackilen knocked on the door, and a man that looked like he was in his thirtys answered. "What do you want?", asks the man. His big stomach almost made me think he was having triplets! "Can I speak to May please?", asks Jackilen. The man looked at all three of us, and looked inside. "Come on in.", he says in his deep voice. I entered the house, and it was like a rose garden! Beautiful plants everywhere, the fragrance of citrus fruits, paintings of flower fields, it was just so beautiful inside. "You guys can take a seat, I'll call May down here. I'll be right back.", the man tells us. I kept looking around, still amazed at the beautiful house. The man came back downstairs with a beautiful women by his side. She had nice blonde hair that was curled so elegantly, and was wearing a beautiful flower top, with skinny jeans and pink flats. Is everything in this house beautiful except for the big fat man? Jackilen got up all excited and ran up to the beautiful lady. "May!", she yells. "Jackilen!", yells May, the beautiful women. They giggled and hugged. I looked at Kevin, half creeped out, and half happy. They both took a seat and the man did too. Jackilen explained everything to May, while I was talking to Kevin. "Aren't your parents gonna worry? I asked him. He looks at me. "What do you mean twinkle toes?", he asked me. "What I mean is, isn't your mom or dad gonna worry that your gone?", I asked him again.
"Don't you remember? My father died of heart disease five years ago,and mother wanted me out of the house by the age of 15.", he told me. I couldn't believe that happened to him, poor Kevin. "I'm sorry to ask.", I told him in apology. "Nah! It's okay!", he says,"I really want to help you find Jason though." I looked at him serious. "Do you really?", I asked him. He looks at me, and my face turns red. "Yes!", he says. My face started to cool down, and I felt like crying again. Because more than nobody in the world, I love my little brother Jason. He's like my son, and I would die if anything really tragic happens to him. "You guys, come on! They have weapons for us!", says Jackilen. We got up off the couch, and followed everyone into the garage. They started to take out pistols, and rifles. They gave us about five packs of amo. Each pack had about 40-50 bullets. "Looks like you guys are prepared for your trip just in case.", says May. Jackilen turned around before we left the house. "Thank you May! So much!", says Jackilen. "You're welcome! I hope you find your brother, Kendra!", yells May. "Thank you!", I tell May. "Goodbye! Be careful, and good luck!", says May one last time. "Thanks!", we all responded. We all got in the truck, strapped our selves into our seat belts, and headed off to Bangiler, it's going to be a long trip.

Kidnappers P.O.V:
I sat there in my comfy chair. I felt like a king of money. I looked to my right, where there was a boy with blondish, brownish hair. My buddy Carol caught him at a Danesville school bus stop. He was crying tears of fear, but I didn't mind. I loved that Scene where I see a kid die, or cry, or get tortured. I laughed a bit. "You still struggling you little dumbass?", I asked him. His eyes grew angry. "Where are they!", he yells at me. "Shut up!", I yelled back at him. "You're sister is being hunted down, and so is your drunk cousin!", I told him in a deep voice. The chains that tied him up were clinging together. I laughed again. This time harder. I'm gonna make lots of money! I picked up the phone and called one of my group of buddies. "Hey? Jonas! Yeah! I want you to go look for those girls I told yas about! Kill whoever is with them as well, but kill the targets first!", I said to my buddy Jonas. I hung up, and looked at the boy. I smiled. "Don't you dare hurt my sister nor my cousin!", he yells. I went up to him, and kicked him in the stomach. He coughed up some blood, and dropped to the floor. "This is my one and only chance to become rich little dumbass! Don't mess this up!", I yelled in his face. I turned so that my back was facing him. I went to go sit in my chair, and laughed the most evilest laugh, I've ever laughed. "This, WILL, be fun", I said.

Kendra's P.O.V:
We were still in town five minutes after we left Mays house. I grabbed my rosary from my backpack, and put it in between my hands, and started to pray. After I was finished, I put it back in my backpack. I sat there, right next to Kevin. The silence was killing me. "Did you hear about some of the stuff Eduardo was telling me?", I asked Kevin. "Yeah! I heard everything!", he says. "He said that they took his child too! Poor Eduardo. But I just don't get it! Why would someone use children to make money off them?", I asked him. "Who knows? They're probably stupid enough to actually do that.", says Kevin. "Isn't child labor illegal in the United States?", I asked Kevin. "Yeah. The law says that no child under the age of fourteen is allowed to be employed.", says Kevin. Now this just got me angry. That's not right! Just taking kids that aren't yours for the sake of money. After about twenty minutes,we were near a gas station, near the border of Danesville and YertBurg, another city. Bangiler is about two cities away from Danesville. Jackilen unbuckled her seat belt, and said,"you guys getting off?" We looked at each other, and nodded our heads. We got off at the gas station so that Jackilen can do the bathroom, and Kevin and I were looking around for a snack to buy. As I was looking around, I saw a snack bar called, 50 calories! I started to shed a tear or two, because whenever Jackilen took us to a gas station, Jason usually picked this for some reason. I decided that that was going to be my snack for the road, and nothing else. I bought it with the five bucks that Jackilen gave both Kevin and I. I opened it and ate it. The sweet taste of honey and strawberry came into my mouth as I devoured the bar. I also liked that it was chewy. I threw the rapper away, and waited for Jackilen to come out of the bathroom. I saw Kevin pay for his item, and walked towards me. "You finished yours already? Dang!", he says while he opened a can of Coke. I smiled and looked out the gas station window. "Kendra, I like how you smile.", he says. My face turned a bit red, but I was paying attention that much. I started to cry for real this time. "I miss him!", I said while sniffing. My face turned red for real this time, since I was crying right in front of Kevin. I whiped the tears and took small breathes. "Don't cry Kendra.", says Kevin. That made me cry more. "But I can't stand it! I love him with all my heart more than anyone! And if anything happens to him, I'll die!", I yell at him. I whiped my tears once again, but before I could put my hand down, Kevin grabbed me and hugged me, tight. I was blushing like crazy and tried to speak, but I was speechless. "We will find him!", he whispers in my ear. I looked at his face and are faces started to get closer to one another, we were going to kiss. But at the corner of my eye, I saw a black car pull up to the gas station. I gasped. No way! It's the car from yesterday and today! I pulled away from Kevin, and pointed. I told him about the car, and a man came out of it. He was also wearing black. He was armed,and before I knew it, he started to aim at Kevin and I. "Duck!", says Kevin. He grabs my shoulders and pulls me down to the ground. The man started to shoot once we ducked down. Glass flew everywhere, and things started to fall. I crawled quickly to the bathrooms, and knocked on the lady's door. "Jackilen! Hurry! Please!", I yelled. The door opened and Jackilen come out. She ducked down as well. We crawled over to Kevin. Kevin got out a pistol that he had in his pocket, and started to shoot. He missed the first three times, but the fourth time, he got him. Blood splattered where the man was on the ground of the parking lot. We then saw three other cars on the street coming towards the gas station. "We need to get out of here!", says Kevin. We got up quickly, ran out of the gas station, and into the truck. Jackilen stepped on it, and Kevin and I were armed. I was scared. I had never in my life used a gun, or a weapon. My heart was pounding rapidly. God, help me.
