Chapter 9, and were almost at the end. That should be the last of the delay's now.
*Melanie McKenzie*
The driver of the car had been lucky, Tony's shot had just grazed his right shoulder and wasn't bleeding very heavily at all.
Melanie was trying to stay calm, she wasn't claustrophobic at all, but being stuffed into the trunk of a car wasn't very pleasant, and didn't help her athsma.
She tried kicking trying to get some kind of response from the driver, because she was clearly needed alive.
When the car had started swerving she had stopped trying to draw attention to herself and just tried to protect herself.
As soon as he regained control of the car she took a puff of her inhaler, to help her calm her breathing.
After what seemed like hours of driving the car suddenly came to a halt and the trunk was popped, allowing light to flood in.
She had to blink to get her eyes to adjust, it was dark outside but wasn't pitch black like the trunk had been.
"Out you get Melanie" A new male voice said.
Mel looked up and saw a different man, she held on tight to her inhaler as he helped her get out.
He gave the driver a brown envelope, and he drove off; leaving her all alone with this strange man.
He took her inside the house and into the kitchen, which was beautifully furnished, but didn't make her forget that she had been kidnapped.
"Help yourself" he said referring to the plate of cookies, that were clearly shop bought, and a can of coke.
She was both hungry and thirsty so gingerly began to eat and drink.
After eating a whole cookie and finishing off the coke, she paused, the man had been staring at her the whole time.
"Why have I been brought here?" She asked.
"I think your mother better answer that question"
"She's here?" she said obviously too concerned to eat any more.
"In the room next door" he said calmly.
She hopped off her chair and went into said room.
"Mom!" she gasped.
Sarah had a gag in her mouth and was duct taped to a chair.
She tried to reply but the gag muffled everything she tried to say.
Before Melanie had the chance to untie or at the very least ungag her mother, the man came through the other door behind her mother.
He took the gag out of her mouth but left Sarah tied to the chair.
"Melanie, I'm so sorry" Sarah said.
"You know who I am?" She said hoping.
"I remember sweetie. I'm so sorry I forgot you"
"It's ok mom. But why are we here?"
"Tell her Sarah, you owe her the truth, after all these years"
"Mom?" She said, not wanting to know the answer.
"This man is your biological father" she said, knowing that he was in fact right about this.
"And now we can be a happy family" he said clearly believing every little word he said.
Dun dun dun
