Chapter 28: Almost Found? II

Kevin's PoV:

I lay here on the cot, frozen and shaking. I'm so scared... Harry knew the whole time about my signal for help in the drive-thru. I hear the basement door open, and I look at the top of the stairs, to see Harry in the doorway. I instantly grow afraid. I recoil and shout, "Stay away!" He starts coming down the stairs, anyway. I coward away from him even more. "Get away! Leave me alone!" Once he's down the stairs, he's over to my bed and grabs onto my arm, tightly. I try to pry him off of me. "L-Let go!" He squeezes tighter and twists my arm. I start crying again. "You'll break my arm!"

"Good! Maybe it'll prevent you from writing notes to leave around!"

"W-What?..."

"Don't act stupid with me, kid! You know very well what I'm talking about!"

"H-How did you know?..."

"Thanks to those wonderful news people on TV." I'm paralysed with fear. I guess I will be killed now for sure... "How would you like to be locked in an enclosed space, like a closet, or something, huh? You're lucky to be even in this basement."

"No... Please... I'm sorry..."

"'Sorry' isn't good enough, kid!" He slaps me again. "Now, because of your stupidity, we have to leave now!"

"I thought it was quite clever, you butthead..." I mutter.

He pushes me down on the bed and wraps his one hand around my neck. "You're asking for it, kid... Because, I am this close to ending this nonsense with you..." Harry says, clearly on his last nerve, pointing his gun to my head.

"You... You..." I start bawling again. "You didn't have to kidnap me, in the first place!"

Harry clicks the gun again. "I never made it to the forth grade, kid, and if you keep this up, it doesn't look like you will, either."

"So, you do plan on letting me go?"

"No, you idiot!"

"So, why did you mention the forth grade?"

"I'm just saying, if you keep up these sneaky tricks and mouthing, you won't last very long, kid!"

"Just shoot me... Slit my throat... I don't care... You'll just do it to me, eventually..."

"It's very tempting, kid..."

"Just do it! Just do it, already, and kill me! God!"

"I'll give you one last chance, kid..."

"That's what you said at the motel!"

Harry's hand's over my mouth and he orders, "Don't raise your voice at me..." He still holds the gun to my head and says, "I'll make sure you don't signal for help... Ever. Again..."
