Risking It

Chapter 6:"You're not really attempting kidnapping are you?"

I know I said my update day was going to be on a weekend, but I had finished this early so I thought I'd just post it.

Excuse any mistakes & Enjoy!
________________
Drew's POV

I lied in bed looking up at the ceiling and sung:

'Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost an-'

"Drew?!" Derek called out questionably. "Andrew, get down here quickly." He called me again, but this time in more of a panic voice.

I rushed to the living room too see Derek standing there with a hopeful expression. "What is it?" I asked slowly.

"I need you to do me a favor." He grinned with anticipation walking out the front door.

I slowly followed him, "What kind of favor?" I asked suspiciously feeling as my eyes began to narrow.

"So I did something kinda crazy and it can't 've undone so try not to freak out." He answered standing next to his 'taxi look alike' car.

"Derek. What did you do?" I asked nervously when I noticed Derek actually looked terrified of his actions.

When I walked towards him, he opened the car door and gestured I look inside and I couldn't make sense of what I was looking at. "Derek, what'd you do?" I asked in a more 'are-you-out-of-your-mind' look.

Just get her." He said pulling an unconscious guy who looked like he can be the same age as me or younger out of the vehicle. "I'll explain when we get them inside." He muttered swinging the guy over his shoulder and into the house.

I peeked inside to see a slightly tan girl with messy hair lying on the back seat of the car, I pulled her arm towards me and carried her in my arms through the house and into the designated room Derek told me. I slowly laid the girl on the bed and looked at her trying to process what's exactly happening.

Kidnapping?

Ransom?

Were they dead?

The girl herself was pretty light to carry, she was wearing dark jeans and a tank. Her bkack thick hair was tired into a messy ponytail.

"Ok good, you were able to carry her." Derek said walking into the room.

"She wasn't that heavy." I replied waiting for an explanation which he lacked to give.

"Tie her hands to the bed." Derek ordered handing me rope.

So this was kidnapping.

I looked down at the innocent girl and then at my brother's mischievous expression. "What? No." I stated. "Derek, this is kidnapping!" I refused throwing the rope on the ground.

"That was kinda the plan." Derek countered taking the rope and tying her hands anyway.

"What?!" I retorted. "Derek, you can't be serious!" I added a chuckle.

"Come here." He pulled me out of the room and into the hallway. "What is your problem?" Derek asked irritated with how I wanted a full explanation.

"You're not really attempting kidnapping are you?" I asked hoping he'd say no.

"I'm pretty sure I already did." He joked.

This was no time for joking!

"Why?" I asked eagerly.

"Drew, there are just some things, you wouldn't understand." He replied looking me in the eyes. "Not yet, anyways." He sighed.

"But the cops." I reminded.

"Won't know, if we do this right." He assured. "As long as you do everything I say." He patted my shoulder.

"How long?" I asked.

"I don't know." He sighed nodding his and running a hand through his hair.

"Who are they?" I interrogated wanting answers.

"Will you stop with the questions!" Derek retorted clearly annoyed with the questions.

"No. I want to know exactly what your plan is." I told him

"You want a plan." He said. "Here's your plan." He paused. "You will not question my decisions. And you'll do whatever I tell you." He finished."

"One question." I paused waiting for his permission, he nodded. "Are you going to hurt them?" I muttered out the words slowly.

He looked to me then at the ground and at me again, he sighed. "No promises." He said. "But listen, part of my plan involves you.He said.

"How am I part of your plan?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Tomorrow morning, I have to leave early in the morning." He paused. "Which means I won't be here, when they wake up, when they realize they've been kidnapped." He said slowly.

"I'm not hurting anyone." I stated putting my hands up in surrender.

"I wouldn't expect you to." He cleared. "I need you to tell our visitors the rules." He said. Once he told me the rules and I finally agreed, he half smiled and widened his eyes, "Remember we have to stick together." He told me before walking away.

He needs to stop walking away in the middle of a conversation.

My mind remember what he said about hurting them. What did he mean no promises? Was he actually planning on hurting them?

No, my brother wouldn't do that...

Would he?

Well he did manage to kidnap two teenagers, so who knows what he's capable of.

At this point, I didn't know who he was anymore.
