Chapter 7 Trust and Betrayal
Later that night Paul left the hotel to meet the guy, with the location of their children. Before he went out the front lobby, Shawn stopped him at the door. "Hey Paul wait?" He yelled. "What is it Shawn?" Paul asked as he had one hand on the door. "Just be careful okay, we don't know if this is a trap!" Shawn told him. Paul nodded as he left going to his car.
About a few minutes later, Paul drove up to the cafe. He got out of his car and walked around to the alley, but didn't see anyone. "I knew this was a joke, the guys were right, this was a trap." Paul told himself. As he turned to walk away, he heard a voice behind him. "Hey wait!" The man yelled. Paul turned back around towards the voice, "Who are you?" Paul asked him. "I'm the guy who called you about the location of your children. Here take this!" he told him as he handed Paul a piece of paper with an address. "How do I know this isn't a trick?" Paul asked. "Because, you just have to trust me." He told him walking away. When Adam walked away, Paul could see the side of his arm in the light from the cafe.
Paul though for a second before it hit him, "Oh my god!" Paul said to himself.
Flashback: "So what time are you guys going to eat?" Adam asked as him and the others were eating lunch. "Around seven, Kelly said she'll watch the kids so we could enjoy dinner with our wives." Shawn told him. Adam nodded, "That's nice of her, anybody gonna help her?" Adam asked. "Yeah, Alicia's gonna help her! I mean there are six kids to look after and it'll take more than one person to keep an eye on them, well at least the girls anyway." Shawn told him. Adam nodded, "Cool!" He told him.
End of Flashback
Paul wondered why Adam was asking all those questions, he thought Adam was just being a concerned friend sand would keep an eye out in case anything happened but he was wrong.
"Adam please tell me that's not you?" Paul asked him upset. Adam stopped in his tracks, "How did he know it was me?" Adam thought to himself. "If I answer than he'll know it's me!" he finished so he just ignored Paul and continued walking away. Until Paul spoke again, "Adam Copland if that's you than you'll turn around and face me because I know you're not a punk." Paul told him this time yelling. Adam stopped again and knew Paul was right, so he turned around and walked back towards Paul only close enough so he could see his face.
Adam held his head up, "How did you know it was me?" he asked Paul. "I saw you're tattoo on your arm, how could you do this to us, we trusted you!" Paul told him. "I know, I'm sorry but you have to let me explain." Adam begged. Paul shook his head, "I don't want an explanation, but I will tell you this, if anything has happened to our kids, we will never forgive you. So do me a favor and get as far away from me as possible because if I ever see you again then I might do something I'll regret." Paul told him.
Adam nodded, "I deserve that, I'll never come anywhere near you guys again, but just know this the kids are fine, just remember to be at the drop off tomorrow or else Kevin will get suspicious and if he finds out that I helped you than he'll kill me." Adam told him walking off once again and this time he didn't look back.
As Paul tried to sink everything in on what just happened with Adam, he wondered why Adam was involved in the kidnapping and then turned around and wondered why he would help them by giving them the location of where their children were at.
He thought about all of this while getting back in his car, before he turned the key, he looked at the paper that Adam gave him.
He read the location of you're children is at 7235 Roosevelt by the coast, when you show up make sure you're not seen and that you park far away from the warehouse. Last but not least, go through the back door, but make sure you're not seen. Kevin does have bodyguards surrounding the place so make sure you have a plan and be careful. Oh and lastly the children are in the room at the back, just be quiet because Kevin has someone watching the door.
Good luck and be careful!
Paul put the letter down and started the engine, "Wow wait until the guys hear about this." Paul told himself as he drove off.
Meanwhile...Adam was walking to his car when he heard something behind him. He turned around to see what it was, but didn't see anyone. So he got into his car until he was blindsided by Scott and Sean Waltman. "Hey there Adam! Is there something you want to tell us?" Scott asked him holding him by the collar of his shirt. "What are you talking about?" Adam asked trying to breath. "Don't play dumb with us we saw you talking to Paul, what did you tell him!" Scott asked hitting Adam's head up against the car.
"I didn't tell him anything I swear!" Adam told them wincing in pain. "We'll see about that, wait until Kevin finds out!" Scott told dragging him to their car and throwing him into the trunk. "No you can't do this, let me go!" Adam yelled trying to get free. "Shut the hell up you little snitch!" Sean yelled punching Adam in the face and closing the trunk. They got into the car and drove off towards the warehouse.
