On Thin Ice

(K.C.'s POV)

I took a good look at Eli. He was thinner than me, compared to me he looked so weak right now and I was going to make sure to show Amber just how strong I could be. If she could fall for him she could easily fall for me. But this man, this cop right in front of me; he has made me look weak, I aimed the gun at him. Before I kill him, I want answers. And these answers will come to me; willingly or forcefully. I grabbed Amber; I positioned my fingers on a spot behind her neck. Just like the cop had done to Clare. She's perfectly conscience; but can't move a muscle in her body. I kissed her cheek briefly, "I'm sorry you have to go through this. But it'll be over soon" I said in a reassuring voice. I know her; she's unpredictable, and I don't want her getting hurt. I dug my fingers and watched her limp body fall to the ground. "What the hell did you just do to her!" Eli snarled. "Amber's fine. You should be worried about yourself right now pretty boy" I said.
I pointed the gun back at Eli. "Now shut the hell up or I'm going to kill you right next to your sister" I barked. He pressed his lips in a line, not allowing another word to dance off his tongue. I aimed the gun at the cop once more. "Now, I want answers; you give me honest answers or it's going to hurt you more than me." I began "Why are we here exactly?" I asked the cop, he just glared at me. "Have it your way" I said simply. I pulled the trigger, purposely missing his head by inches. "Ok! Ok!" The cop pleaded. "They want kids. They pay good money; I get a kid that fits the description and keep them for a year. Then I supply them with what they want." he said. I was about to ask another question but Eli beat me to it. "Then why'd you kill Clare?" he boomed his body shaking. The cop smirked and kicked the bag to Eli. "I never said she was dead. Why do you think you never smelled the stench of decaying flesh? Why do you think there wasn't a trace of blood or flies swarming it? It's wax, trust me. Clare is still very much alive, but she might wish I killed her." he said.

(Eli's POV)
His words stung my heart, Clare's not dead? I looked in the bag, I felt the waxy texture. It defiantly wasn't flesh. I turned at him and kicked his balls... Hard. "Where is she you scum?" I yelled my body shook with rage I ignored K.C. completely. "They're coming for him in 3 days." he said pointing a finger past K.C. towards Drew. Drew's eyes grew wide. "How can I meet them?" I barked; I will find Clare, one way or another. "You don't. You might as well consider your sister dead. But don't worry she made me a lot of money.
I looked at K.C. He sat there dumbfounded, staring at the cop as the words fell from his dirty lips and gun lowered. I took my opportunity, I charged at K.C. I decked him in the face. He fell to the ground next to Amber. I kicked him away; I grabbed the gun and pointed it at the cop. I cocked it again, I was about to kill the cop. Then a devilish smirk played across his face. He unbuttoned and pulled the sides of his shirt to reveal a bomb, a small amount of plastic explosives. "If my pulse stops, you have exactly one minute to live." he said in sickly sly tone.

(Amber's POV)
The pain throughout my body was immense. I thought running a mile full out sprint was painful, this pain made it feel like a 200 meter dash. I could hear the world around me, but I couldn't participate in it. I forced my eyelids open; I managed to choke out a groan as I saw K.C. starting to approach me. Eli whipped his head around and looked at me. He came up behind K.C. and grabbed him by the legs. He swung K.C.'s body into a wall. K.C. let out a small cry as his eyes started rolling to the back of his head. It took most of my strength; but I forced myself to my feet. Eli put his attention back on the cop, Drew came to my side; aiding my unstable stance.
Eli scoffed at the cop. "Don't think I didn't see that" Eli hissed as he snatched the big orange envelope the cop was trying to hide behind his shirt.
The cop was franticly trying to open the seal as Eli shot his hand. Eli snatched the envelope from the cops hand a d tucked it under his belt. He handed the gun to me, "Hold this for me, Amber" he said swiftly. I put my shaking arm in the direction of the cop. "Move and die" I spat, my tone like ice. We're going to live if I have anything to do with it.

(Eli's POV)
I went to the jail cell where I found the supplies. I pulled the bed to the opposite aside and looked into the box. I know what I have to do, but I have little time to do it. I walked back into the large room. I took the gun back from Amber. I smacked the cop in the side of the head swiftly. While he was dazed I used the agility of my adrenalin to strap him into the restraints on the wall.
I had both wrists bond by the time he came around. Blood was dripping from the side of his head. "We can't let anyone know about this" I said with a wink. I pulled out a match and lit it. I ripped a piece of his shirt off and stuffed it in his mouth so he could bite it. I melted his flesh into the metal of the bomb. Now he can't go anywhere without being arrested. And he can't really blame us for anything because then he'd have to answer why we're here in the first place and why there was a bomb attached to his skin.

(Amber's POV)
Eli had always been a pyromaniac. I watched as the fire bubbled the skin of the cop. I watched as he writhed in pain as his skin and the metal became one. Eli left him chained and the keys for them hanging on a hook near the cell. "You're at K.C.'s mercy now" he said with a smirk "and he won't be too happy when he wakes up." he said with a chuckle.
He lowered the gun and made his way over to where I was standing. He held me in his embrace and crashed his lips over mine. I moved my lips with his; following a rhythm. We broke apart. I made my way over to the cop; I grabbed everything he had on him: handcuffs, keys, a baton, and a flashlight. "Drew, Eli let's get out of here." I said triumphantly.

(Eli's POV)
We broke apart from our short kiss and I watched as Amber took the various items from the cop. I watched as Drew took the baton from Amber and beat the door open with it. We walked outside; we all shielded our eyes from the afternoon sun. We made our way to the cop car, parked under some trees. Amber tossed me the keys, she can drive, but she isn't the best at it. I unlocked the car and we started to search it.

(Drew's POV)
I looked in the trunk. It feels good to be outside again. "Hey guys, check this out" I said, a smile spreading over my face. We were all speechless as we looked into the back of the car; there were guns, handcuffs, flashlights, tin water bottles, and other cop related necessities. Then I saw something shinny at the bottom of the trunk. I clicked open the latches and my smile grew as I looked at what was packed in it.

I hope you guys liked this chapter! I've had the whole "Clare not really dead thing" planned for a while =D oh and don't worry Drew fans! There will be more Drew to come in the following chapters! I'm thinking on writing at least 10 chapters and your reviews might help me make that decision (hint, hint)... Either way; I hope you guys have enjoyed reading this because it was amazing writing this and reading the nice comments! And don't forget: I don't own anything pertaining to Degrassi!
