"Aiden, we gotta talk to you," Duncan says when he and Courtney walk into the house.
"'Bout what?" he asks. Aiden was sitting at the kitchen table, so Duncan and Courtney pull up a chair to join him.
"Sean," Courtney replies.
"Who's Sean?"
"The leader of the people who have been trying to kidnap Courtney," Duncan answers. "He'll be sending some of his 'friends' here to attack us."
"Well that'll have to wait because I'm going to the grocery store," Aiden retorts. He stands up, slides his wallet, and walks for the front door. Duncan tackles Aiden right before he was about to grab the front door.
"You idiot! Just listen to me! If we even open a door or window in this house, it'll explode!" Duncan shouts in Aiden's face.
"What?!"
"Yeah! It's that Sean guy, the kidnapper! We have to stay in the house for 3 days. Kidnappers will come and go, trying to attack us. If we survive all the attackers, then Sean with disconnect the bombs and we can leave. But then he'll be coming after us. 'Us' namely being Courtney," Duncan explains.
"Not really," Courtney says. Duncan turns to face her. "I heard them talking in the warehouse, when I was first kidnapped. They want you, too, Duncan. They think you… know too much information. They want to kill you." Her voice cracks and Duncan gets off Aiden. Duncan wraps his arms around Courtney in a hug and kisses her forehead.
"We're gonna be fine, Princess," he assures her. Aiden gets off the floor.
"So, dude, what're we gonna do?" Aiden asks.
"Well, first of all, we gotta lay down some rules," Duncan says. "Like, no touching the windows or the front door. We don't want to risk blowing the house up." Courtney nods.
"And how much food is in the house?" she asks.
Aiden scratches the back of his head. "Uh… bread."
"That's it?!"
Aiden holds his hands up in surrender. "People at3 most of our food at the party! Jeez! We have ½ a package of white bread, a box of Captain Crunch cereal, and a huge bowl of green jello in the fridge."
"Green jello?!" Courtney shrieks. Aiden nods slowly, giving Courtney weird looks. Duncan puts his arm around Courtney.
"You don't have to eat the jello, babe," Duncan tells her.
"But what'll we drink?"
"We have beer!" Aiden exclaims. Courtney shoots daggers at him with her eyes. "Okay, okay! No beer, then…"
"We can melt the ice in the freezer," Duncan suggests.
"Or drink toilet water!" Aiden says. Courtney rolls her eyes. Aiden laughs.
"Aiden, I think you should shut up now," Duncan says.
Suddenly, the three of them hear a loud crash from the garage. Courtney screams.
"They're here already?" Aiden asks. Duncan quickly stands up and grabs Courtney's wrist. He pulls her towards the stairs.
"Go up to our room!" Duncan orders. Courtney runs up the stairs and Aiden stands by Duncan. "You too." Aiden runs up the stairs. Duncan's hand twitches towards his pants pocket, which held the gun.
"DUNCAN! Get the hell up here! NOW!" Courtney shouts. Duncan turns on his heel and sprints up the stairs, towards Courtney.
(Author's Note: Sorry this is such a short chapter, but I'm going camping! I'll be in Florida for the next couple weeks, so I'm probably not hardly going to update. But don't worry, we'll be in the car for about five hours a day -- lol, FUN -- so I'll type up some chapters. Once I get back, expect about ten million chapters, haha.)
