Chapter 2- Hostage
Will shoved his cell phone into his pocket as he headed down the alley way short cut to the store. As he slipped into the darkness of the alley a sense anxiousness washed over him.
He glanced behind him as his foot steps halted. Foot steps that weren't his own stopped a second late. His heart pounded in his chest as he slowly reached back for his cell phone, his eyes scanning the dark.
A noise of a flash sounded and he felt small puffs of breath against his ear,
"I wouldn't do that if I were you…little William."
Wills hand stilled on top of his phone as he felt arms tighten around his chest and waist.
"Don't scream, I won't hurt you…" there was a pause as the arms tightened almost painfully, "yet." His attacker bit out as a hand grabbed his phone flinging it to the ground.
And with a bright flash the alley vanished before him.
Meanwhile-
Helen sighed as she shut her book and checked the time. Will only left ten minutes ago but she couldn't help the unsettled feeling that sunk in her gut.
Her thoughts were disrupted as Henry walked in, a folder in his hands.
"Here's the information you requested Magnus." He placed the folder on her desk and looked around, "Will's gone solo tonight? Usually he's in here."
"He went out to pick up a few things from the local store." She started to flip through the folder.
"Why exactly did you want an update on Druitt's where bouts? If you don't mind me asking…" he said as he sat down and peered at the folders contents as Helen went through them.
"I have to keep tabs on him, make sure he isn't causing too much trouble. Apparently, according to Ashley, he's been rather busy lately." She said as he glanced up at Henry.
Henry shifts uneasily in the chair, "I've been getting this really bad feeling all night…I don't know why…"
"As have I. I'll give Will a call and tell him to keep an eye out." She said as she took the phone and dialed his cell phone number.
The phone rang for quiet sometime before a hushed breathing picked up.
"Will, Listen I need you to do me a favor, keep an eye out for Druitt I heard he's been up too trouble again." She said holding back her worry.
A laugh carried over, "Helen…how naive you are…I'm afraid it's too late for young William." Druitt's voice said smoothly.
Helen felt her blood turn to ice in her veins, "What have you done to him?"
"Nothing yet…fear not he is alive…and he will remain to be that way unless you go against my orders. Do not take me lightly Helen you know I will kill him." He said in an even tone.
"What do you want then?"
"I want you to try and find me. Think of it as a puzzle of the sorts. I'll leave clues. Let's see if you are smart enough to find me before his. Time. Is. Up." The phone hung up sharply.
"Helen?" Henry called from his seat.
Helen brought her eyes back to Henry, "He has him"
