A/N: Hello, folks! :D Hooray for updating! Well, we're now able to get to the exciting Kevin's PoV! So, let's see how that turns out! (Is this a pointless Author's Note?)
Chapter 25: Hotel Room Happenings II
Kevin's PoV:
My hands are tied behind my back, as I lay on the floor—with the only comfort I have, being a pillow. Bryan and Sarah are long since asleep, and I just lay here, with my eyes wide open, almost paranoid to try anything. It seems to be that anytime I try to save myself, I end up getting caught. In this case, I'm literally terrified of what Bryan and Sarah would do, if they found me trying to escape.
I want to escape to prevent that from happening, but there's a chance it will happen, if I'm stupid enough to do so. I might as well be stupid. No way in Hell am I going to go these next few days or whatever as a kidnapped victim. It's only been just over a day, and I'm sick of this, already…
I decide that maybe it's best if I try to escape again, but how am I going to do that, with my hands tied behind my back? I don't believe there's any way to free them, without something sharp. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing sharp in here. Bryan or Sarah might have something sharp on them, but I really don't want to discover that they could very well stab me.
I sit up, almost forgetting about my broken leg. I gasp in pain, wondering how I'm going to do this, while also having this disability. I nearly jump a foot, and my stomach drops a knot, when I hear Sarah rolling over and breathing out a huge sigh. I'm literally frozen, for what seems like half a minute, until I realize that my female abductor is still, indeed, asleep.
Still feeling the paranoia, I look over to Bryan, seeing how his back is turned to me. He surprisingly doesn't snore, but I have a strong feeling that he's asleep. Then again, with my paranoia, I have the fear that he's actually awake. I just hope my stronger feeling is the true one…
Gathering the courage, I try to stand up, placing all the pressure on my good leg. I know I would cry out, if I were to really use my bad leg, at all. And since I have a lack of mobility with my hands, this is a lot harder than it should be. Considering how I seemed to have been unconscious for that whole ride, I still feel tired and weak. I just hope I can muster enough strength to pull this off.
I somehow get a boost of energy, which helps me lift myself off the floor. I breathe out a sigh of relief, but it's not over yet—I still have to figure out how I'm going to untie my hands. I look around the room, feeling almost desperate. If I can't find anything, no way am I going to be able to get out of here. After all, the door is bolted shut, and I need both hands, in order to unlatch it.
An idea then pops into my head, as I realize that I can use the door handle of the hotel room door itself, in order to untie my hands. It's not a doorknob, luckily, so it should be able to work. Then, afterwards, I'm going to have to figure out how I'm going to creep out of here, stealthily. And it's not going to be as easy as it seems…
I try to be quiet, while heading over to the door, but it's awfully hard to, when you have a broken leg. All's I'm able to do, is slide my foot across the floor, until I reach where I need to be. I turn around and slide my hands along the handle, making sure the rope is around it. I now try to pull away from the door, but I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere.
Unless I can successfully break free from the door, it almost looks like I'm stuck here. I continue to pull harder, until I feel the rope pull loose from my wrists. I finally have the relief of my hands being free, but it's not going to be for long, unless I get out of here. I look up at the door, contemplating on how I should do this. After all, I don't want to make too much noise…
I fearfully look behind me, when I hear someone roll over in their bed. That someone appears to be Sarah. I just hope they're both tired enough to stay asleep, so that I can work in peace. I then look back at where I was on the floor, unable to see the pillow, but I know it's there. Begrudgingly, I make my way back over to said spot to retrieve it, so that I have some sort of booster for me to reach the lock.
Once I have the pillow, I slide my leg back over to the door, plopping my pillow down in front of it. Since the pillow is so lightweight, I'll definitely sink into it, not getting much of a height boost. There has to be something else I can use, but what?
I hear a groan coming from a man, and I look behind me, eyes widened. It looks as though Bryan's starting to roll over. I sure as hell hope he's just rolling over in his sleep, but I don't think I'll have such luck, because the next thing I see, is Bryan's eyes opening. Now, begins the question of what I should do…
Agent Carter's PoV:
The phone rings on the opposite end, and I wait for a pickup, but I don't seem to be receiving one. There could be a million reasons why they're not answering. They could also not be associated with Harry, at all…
Receiving no answer, I decide it's best to hang up. I wait another moment, before trying the same number again. This time, I hear a man's voice—an all-too-familiar man's voice. Their answer is a groggy, "Hello?"
"Hello. This is John Carter calling. I was just wondering if…"
"Wait a minute… The John Carter?"
"Uh, what do you mean 'the'?" I have a strange suspicion who this is, but I don't want to give myself away to them.
"N-Nothing. Just nevermind…"
The next thing I hear, is the clicking of the phone hanging up on the opposite end. I look down at the phone in my hand, realizing that I gave myself away to the one person I never expected to be a kidnapper: Bryan Slader…
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks for reading! :D Well, I hope this chapter was OK! I had all the time in the World tonight, but I hope it's not a disappointment! So, what do you think will happen to Kevin? Will he be caught? After all, he's almost to freedom! As for Officer Slader (holy shit, I couldn't remember his name, while typing this chapter), what do you think will happen, since that call was made? Nothing seems to be happening yet, since he and Sarah are sleeping, but is something planned for the future? Well, we'll just have to see! Until then, ciao! ;)
PS: I slept like a baby last night, so I'm able to proofread this properly.
