Nothing to say. Here's the chapter.


Chapter 14

It was three in the morning when the police hover car landed in front of the giant warehouse building. The hatch in the roof slid back and Cornelius was the first and the fastest to climb out. He jumped onto the grassy ground and looked at the building.

"You're positive that this is where Wilbur is?" He asked the Officers as they climbed out of the hover car.

"Absolutely positive," Officer Levi said, closing the hatch and walking towards the building. He and Officer Kim both brought out their guns and walked up to a small wooden door on the side of the building. Officer Levi stood on the right side of the door and Officer Kim stood on the left side. They both held their guns up against their chests and when Officer Levi nodded his head Officer Kim nodded back and took hold of the golden doorknob. She turned it and opened the door.

"Freeze!" Officer Levi yelled as he and Officer Kim ran into the room with their guns pointed out in front of them. They looked around and noticed that nobody was in the room. The only things in the room with them were a bunch of different colored hover cars. The two officers looked at each other when Cornelius walked in through the doorway.

"Wow, that's a lot of hover cars," he whispered. Officer Levi put his index finger to his lips.

"Don't make a sound," he hissed quietly. "Just look around for your son. Quietly." Then the three split up into the massive jungle of hover cars.


Wilbur sat still in his chair since he knew he couldn't free himself. His chin rested on his chest and his eyes were closed sadly. Whatever Eye Patch Man was planning it wasn't good. And Wilbur intended to make sure that it didn't happen, even he was tied to a chair at the moment.

He was about to fall asleep in his chair when he heard a door opening. He opened his eyes and looked around.

"Freeze!" He heard someone yell from somewhere else in the room. Then he heard some clicking noises like guns being cocked and loaded. Then he heard footsteps go in three different directions. His parents had forced him to take band in sixth grade and in band he was trained to hear really quiet noises while he was playing really high on his trumpet. So he could hear these footprints like they were elephants stomping around, and he instantly knew it was his father and the two police officers Eye Patch Man had told him that were coming.

Wilbur tried to scream and yell, but the duct tape reused to let him do so. He tried to stand up and walk around with the chair connected to his back, but then he remembered that Zane had tied his ankles to the legs of the chair, restraining him from walking anywhere. So all he could do was hope that they would find him.


Cornelius walked past a red and blue hover car, then by a green and yellow hover car, then by a solid purple one. He thought that the hover cars would never end until he finally came to the last one in the row on his right.

"Finally," he muttered to himself. He came out of the jungle and looked to his left. He saw nothing but more hover cars and the wall of the building. He sighed and looked to his right, and his eyes widened and a big smile spread across his face. Tears formed in his eyes as he ran over to his son.

"Wilbur!" He whispered when he got to him. His son opened his eyes and looked up at his dad. His eyebrows raised and Cornelius was guessing that he was smiling under the strip of duct tape that was covering his mouth. He gave a slight muffle noise and Cornelius gripped the duct tape. He saw his son close his eyes tightly, and then he ripped the tape off.

"Don't scream, don't scream," Cornelius said quietly to Wilbur as the tape ripped off. Wilbur didn't make a sound but a few small tears trickled down his cheeks. "Good boy."

"Dad, I'm not a dog," Wilbur said quietly, looking up at his dad and smiling. Cornelius smiled even bigger and hugged his son tightly.

"I've missed you so much," he said. "We all have."

"I've missed you too Dad," Wilbur replied. "I really wish I could hug you back right now but uh…" Cornelius released his son and noticed that he was tied to a wooden chair.

"Oh, well, let me go see if Officer Levi or Officer Kim has a pocketknife or something."

"No need," Wilbur said, smirking. "There's one in my pocket."

"How did you get-uh, never mind," Cornelius said. He reached his hand into his son's pocket and felt nothing.

"Uh, Wilbur?" He said.

"Yeah?"

"There's nothing here."

"Then check the other pocket Dad."

"Other pocket, right. I'm on it." Cornelius walked over to his son's other side and reached into his other pocket. There he found a small silver pocketknife. He started to saw away at the ropes that bound his son to the chair. When he was finally done cutting the ropes from Wilbur's hands, the thirteen-year-old hugged his father tighter than he ever had before.

"Uh son, I still have to do your ankles," Cornelius said.

"I don't care," Wilbur said, tears forming at his eyes and sliding down his cheeks. Cornelius smiled and wrapped his arms around his son. When the hug was over Cornelius finished cutting the ropes from around Wilbur's ankles and then they embraced in another hug.

"I love you Dad," Wilbur whispered. Cornelius felt salty tears worming down his own his cheeks, as on his son's.

"I love you too, Wilbur," he whispered.

"How cute," a voice said to their right. They let go of each other and looked over to see Eye Patch Man to Wilbur and Kaden Williamson to Cornelius.

"Eye Patch Man," Wilbur said.

"Kaden Williamson," Cornelius said at the exact same time. They looked at each other.

"Kaden Williamson?" Wilbur questioned.

"Eye Patch Man?" Cornelius questioned at the exact same time.

"Is that something you regularly do together?" Kaden Williamson/Eye Patch Man said.

"Your name is Kaden Williamson?" Wilbur asked him.

"Yes, yes it is. Why? You got something against that name or somethin' kid?"

"For the last time, it's Wilbur! Not kid! And no, I don't. It's just that you could have told me your real name when you first had Zane bring me here! All this time I've been calling you Eye Patch Man when your name was Kaden Williamson. Next time you kidnap someone, tell them your name!"

"Wilbur," Cornelius said.

"What? It's true. He should."

"He won't be kidnapping anybody else," Cornelius said. "Because I plan to have him thrown in jail for the rest of his life."

"I'm so scared," Kaden said, smirking. "What do you plan to do? Confuse me with a bunch of science questions or something?"

"Shut up!" Wilbur screamed. "My dad can take you with his bare hands! And plus we have two officers here with us!"

"Oh, you mean Officers Levi and Kim. Yes well, I took care of them by myself. They're out cold right now in the room that I was holding you in this whole time."

"You took them both down?" Wilbur asked.

"But they both had guns with them," Cornelius said.

"Yes, but there aren't the best at using them. Me, I'm pretty good. But Zane, my partner, he's the best at using them. Want to see?"

"No, not really," Cornelius said.

"Too bad. Zane, now!" There was a loud gunshot and before anything else happened, Cornelius fell to the floor with a small bullet size hole in his leg. Wilbur turned and looked down at his dad, grabbing his leg and screaming in pain. Wilbur's eyes were wide as he saw blood starting to pool around his father's body. Tears immediately started to form at Wilbur's eyes as he screamed at the top of his lungs only one word:

"DAD!!"


I was crying when I was writing the part when Cornelius was untying Wilbur from the chair and all the hugs and stuff. I'm also crying while I write about Cornelius getting shot in the leg. Can you imagine watching your dad get shot and then watching him die and suffer painfully on the floor as a pool of his own blood starts to form around his body?

Ok, getting a little freaked out there. Anyway, I hope this served you well and you're not too mad at me for shooting Cornelius.

Review please!
