A/N: Welcome back! :D Here we are, with Megan's PoV! Now, I have something planned, and it may shock you. So, be prepared! And let's go!
Chapter 10: More Trouble
Megan's PoV:
I quietly close the door behind me, as soon as I'm out in the hallway. Though, I question my actions, because everybody's already awake, anyway; so why does it matter, if I'm quiet, or not? Anyway, with that thought aside, I make my way down to the lobby, hoping to make it on time, before the call is made. Though, I'm pretty sure it already has been… The cabby, who may be already getting ready to pick me up, may be pissed, but what can I do? I was thinking irrationally…
With my thoughts flowing through my mind, I make my way to the elevator, but I can't stop thinking all the thoughts that I'm thinking. With everything that's happening, my mind is in such a fury… I can't help but think of the fate of, not only Kevin, but my parents, Buzz, and my Aunt. As for Uncle Frank, he seems to be a lost cause…
Just as the elevator doors open, I'm now in the front lobby. I still have the adrenaline rushing through me to stop the call to the cab, despite how it's already most-likely happened. I was tired ten minutes ago, but I don't overly feel that way now. My goal is to stop what I started… Just as I reach the counter, where the Concierge usually is, I find he isn't there. My gut drops, as I fear that I may not be able to stop this call, after all.
My fears are quenched for no more than a minute, when I hear, "Hello there, Megan,"
I jump, because I startle easily. I flip around to see Hector, standing behind me, with his signature grin. Though, I don't feel comfortable with this grin, at all. Something isn't right to me…
"Oh, there you are, Sir!" I breathe out, placing my hand on my chest. "I was looking for you. I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to worry about calling that Taxi. And, if you have, you can cancel it. My siblings talked sense into me,"
"Oh, did they, now?" he asks.
He still has that smirk, which is now making me feel uncomfortable. In fact, his whole tone is making me feel uncomfortable. I wasn't very bright five minutes ago, but I should trust my gut instinct now that something is very wrong…
"Yes," I confirm. "I just came here to tell you to stop the cab, if there's one already coming."
"Oh, I don't think that will be necessary, my dear,"
My gut keeps giving me a warning sign, when I ask, "Why not?"
The man leans in closer, when he confirms to me, "Because, I'm going to the hospital, too,"
"What…"
I start to speak, but the next thing I know, his hand is reaching for the back of my neck. I start to scream out and struggle, but the man is stronger than he looks. It's completely dead down here. Nobody's here to help me. My scream only lasts for a few seconds, as my struggling becomes weaker. Whatever he's trying to accomplish, is working, because I soon start to feel numb. It isn't long, before I fall limp, with the last thing I see, being this evil Concierge's smirk…
Police Officer's PoV:
Searching up the men's past arrest, I realize they've been arrested once, and it wasn't that long ago. In fact, they were arrested last year, and only escaped a month ago… According to the records, they were arrested by the Chicago Police Department last year, and kept in a prison there. It's said that they escaped during a prison riot, but what I'm questioning, is how they managed to get to New York… That's apparently where they last were.
I print out the documents and jot down a few things. All of this information on the burglars needs to get to the F.B.I. as soon as possible. Though, the last thing I have to look up, is the boy, Kevin McCallister. It needs to be known what the boy looks like, his age, etc… I research the boy, and there is most definitely more than one Kevin McCallister in existence. I research Kevin McCallister from Chicago, Illinois, and I'm only left with a couple results.
After looking through the results, I come across the result of ten-year-old Kevin McCallister from Winnetka. According to the records of where Harold and Marvin were arrested, it was, indeed, in Winnetka. Things start to piece together, as I assume that this boy had something to do with their arrest. I'm also starting to think that maybe that's why he's been abducted by Mr. Lime and Mr. Merchants…
I look at the background of the McCallister boy, realizing who his parents are—Peter and Katelyn McCallister. Since I'm unsure if this is truly the boy or not, and since it was the boy, who called about being abducted, I should contact the parents, to be sure. In fact, they may not even know about it…
Before I make the decision to call, I look at the boy's information again, seeing how there's been an AMBER Alert set up for him. This has to be the boy, even though it doesn't say anything about Harry and Marv. Now that I know, it's time to print out these documents and hand them over to the F.B.I….
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again! :D Wow. That was quite different! It seems as though Tim Curry's character is a dick, too! I always knew not to trust that Concierge… In the movie and in this story. What do you think will happen? I just might surprise you! ;) As for the police officer's PoV, he's picked up the information on the burglars and Kevin. What do you think will happen there? Well, we may wait a bit for those answers, because the next chapter, is going to be Kevin's PoV. Then, we'll get back into Megan's PoV, but I'll have a different PoV planned for the other one in that particular chapter. You'll see what I mean, when the time comes… In the meantime, take care! :D
**READ PLEASE**
PS: Tomorrow night will be my last night to work on my Camp NaNoWriMo. You'd think I'd stop there, but I don't like the idea of, not only ending my Camp's chapter on an uneven one, but on an uneven day, too. Plus, having me be finished on a Saturday just seems to work better. So, no, I'm not entirely done yet! At least I'll get some extra words for my word count… Yes, Saturday will officially be my last day for my Camp NaNoWriMo story! (And I'm not even close to being finished with it yet…)
