Chapter 10: So close, yet so far away
"There, that wasn't so bad now was it?", the man said as he finished in Dave's mouth. Dave dared not to look the man in the eyes. With tears streaming down his face, he lowered his head in shame and scooted back with the other kids. "Here, you look like you could use this.", one of the younger kids said, tapping Dave on the shoulder and handing him a handkerchief. "Th-thanks", Dave sniffled, but put on a fake smile for the kid, showing him that he was grateful. It was the first act of kindness that anyone had shown him since he was abducted, he'd have to thank him later. Dave wiped his eyes and his mouth with cloth before sinking it into his pocket. Dave sat next to the kid and leaned his head against the wall of the van.
'FBI. They're coming' rang in Dave's head throughout the whole ordeal. He heard it clear as day. It was the only thing he could keep his mind on. 'Could it be? Could the FBI really have come? Is that why we left in such a hurry? Are they on our case?', Dave's mind restlessly questioned, 'Or, could it have just been my mind playing tricks on me?'. 'NO! I know what I heard dammit! The FBI was coming! They were almost there! But these sick shits were somehow tipped off! Dammit, we were so close! We were so close to being rescued, and getting out of this hell hole! So close, yet so far away.' Dave felt tears swell in his eyes again, but quickly wiped them before anyone noticed. Dave looked down to his left to see the kid resting his head on his shoulder asleep. "hhm", Dave leaned his head back again and tried to do the same before they arrived at where ever they were going.
"Oh, man. What happened?", Dirk said sitting up and rubbing his head. "You went complete ape shit, that's what happened.", Jane said, looking down at him. "I did? What happened? And where am I, Jane?" Jane smirked, "Well, let's see; you flew out of the van after the shake down and tried to beat our main suspect into a bloody pulp. We had to sick a stun gun on you to get you to stop. And you are back at our headquarters, specifically on the couch in my office." "I'm sorry, Jane. I don't remember a thing.", Dirk rubbed his eyes. "Completely understandable. You were in such a state of grief that you were completely at the mercy of your already frayed emotions. Honestly Dirk, if I were in your situation, I can't say I would have done any different." Jane's words still brought little comfort to him though. "Dave", Dirk somberly spoke. He felt tears in his eyes again. "Oh Dirk, I'm so sorry. We'll find him Dirk, don't worry.", Jane wrapped her arms around Dirk. Dirk weakly returned the hug. Dirk openly wept into her shoulder. "We were so close Jane, so close! Yet so far away!"
