A/N: Here I am again, with another (probably annoying) beginning Author's Note! :D What do I really have to say, except that I think I know what I want to do this chapter? I don't know! Well, as I'm conflicted with other life decisions, I'll just work on this, and then finish watching The Good Son later! I watched more of it last night, and I'm almost done! Caulay is such an asshole in the movie, but I still love him… Lol. Anyway, I'm making no sense here, so let's just go! :D
Chapter 29: The Feud
Kevin's PoV:
"So, what's your plan?" Harry asks, seeming unamused by Bryan's words, anymore. His hand placed on his hip and his tone of voice are clear indications.
"You sneak on, via the luggage conveyor belt,"
"Huh?" Harry contorts his face, confused, and I'm about to do the same thing.
"It was one of the cases we had here, of someone sneaking onto the plane. Only, they were caught. As for you, you're not supposed to be caught, so don't go getting yourself caught, alright?"
"How are we supposed to do this?"
"Before he was caught, he crossed the baggage hall, unchallenged, before he entered the airfield, and climbing the set of stairs, leading to the empty plane,"
"Wait, wait, wait… The plane was empty? The plane has to be empty, in order to do this?"
"Yes. Or else, you'll be caught. He was only caught, because there was an on-board cleaner. The guy ended up being arrested, only to protest that he was trying to prove how bad airport security is,"
"Well, if that happened, then we'll be caught!" Harry's voice starts to have a worried tone in it.
"Not necessarily. Not if you're real careful. After all, you're burglars, who are supposed to be stealthy, aren't you?" They're not very stealthy…
"Yeah, and you're supposed to be a cop, but you're not doing a very good job at that, now, are you?"
By the sound of Harry's voice, he's clearly pissed at Bryan, and doesn't seem to be afraid to talk back to him. Though, why would Harry be afraid? Just because the younger leader is younger than him, doesn't mean he's not strong and mean. Harry and I both know that. I guess Harry really isn't afraid of the guy…
"I'm pretty sure I am, when I'm the one, who arrested the guy," Bryan starts to turn defensive. I would be careful, if I were Harry. Though, while still hanging on to me, they start to get into a tiff, "So, I'd be careful about what you say to me, if I were you."
"Oh, yeah?" I definitely know Harry's not ready to take any of Bryan's crap. Harry starts to strut closer to the man, unamused.
"Just because you're tougher than your partner there, doesn't mean I'm not tougher than the both of you," Bryan has a cold, dead tone in his voice.
"Oh, yeah? Well then, just prove your toughness, Mr. Wise Guy," instigates Harry.
"Alright," All of a sudden, Bryan changes his holding position of me. He removes his hand from my mouth, but then grabs on to my chin, raising my head up, as if ready to snap my neck. By how strong Bryan is, I'm sure he's not unable to. "You want me to prove how strong I am? I'll snap this kid's neck, in an instant. And I'm sure you don't want that, do you?" I'm confused as to why he's asking him that, when Harry's the one, who took me into the park and nearly shot me. Then, I realize he was more so addressing my Aunt, when he asks, "Am I right, Mrs. McCallister?"
I just glance at my Aunt, with tears in my eyes. It's all I can do right now, because I'm unable to move, otherwise. My eyes are pleading, hoping my Aunt will do something, but all she does is cry. As for my so-called "Uncle", he continues to stare coldly at me and Bryan.
Aunt Leslie doesn't seem to know what to do, because she just nods and answers, barely audible, "Yes…" If only my Uncle wasn't a scumbag, too, he could help me, if he was the Uncle I thought I knew. I only wish Marv could do something…
"So, you see, Mr. Lime," Bryan emphasizes Harry's formal name. "I can break you in two, if I wanted to. Or, if I needed to… You understand me?" Harry still has a firm look, as he doesn't seem to want to back down. "Am I right?" Bryan starts to grit his teeth.
As he does this, his grip on my chin becomes tighter, which causes my head to be jerked up just a little more. This is incredibly painful, but not as painful as what I've been through tonight… All's I can do is let the tears continue to escape from my eyes, because I can't cry out for help, without Bryan getting mad and possibly snapping my neck.
At last, Harry seems to give in to his boss's words, but I can tell he doesn't want to, by the stern look still on his face. I don't know why he's trying to save me, but he is, because he says, "Alright… Alright! Just let the kid go, alright?! I believe you! But, I don't know how we can do this, without being caught!"
Finally, Bryan releases his grip of my head, instantly making me lower it. I breathe out a sigh of relief, but after everything that's happened tonight, this is only a small relief. Especially since my neck is now hurting, which probably won't lighten up for awhile. Breathing out this relief, causes the tears to continue falling from my eyes. I can't feel relief, with everything that's gone on tonight. I just don't know what to feel, now that the death grip Bryan had on me is now released. Bryan still has ahold of me, but he doesn't place his hand over my mouth again, thankfully. Though, I know better than to shout out anything, because that just may cause him to, not only do that again, but snap my neck, too.
I continue to pant, looking down at the sidewalk, as Bryan replies to Harry, "If you follow my orders, you'll be just fine. Now, are you ready to listen?"
Harry grits his teeth, looking down to the side. Bryan becomes firm again, as he grabs ahold of my chin, lifting my head back up again, as if threatening to snap my neck. Though he doesn't have a tight grip on me, like he did before, it still hurts from before. I think he's just warning Harry of what he will do, if he doesn't comply. Though, I still wonder what the big deal is to keep me, when they got what they wanted.
Once again, his grip tightens; not like before, but just enough to have a new pain and to warn Harry. "Are you ready to listen?" Bryan is now also gritting his teeth.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll listen…" Harry answers, impatiently, clearly stating that he doesn't want to listen to this jerk, anymore. Frankly, I don't blame him, but that doesn't mean I'm on Harry's side, either. Bryan, once again, releases his tight grip of my chin and lets my head drop.
As I'm staring down at the sidewalk again, Bryan starts, "OK. Here's what you'll do…"
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again! :D Wow. That chapter went in an entirely different direction than I expected! I had it planned that they would leave the hotel, but I had to have that little feud between the two bossy ones! Jeez. If they're not too careful, Kevin's neck could easily be snapped! And what does that mean for the bandits? Clearly, Bryan isn't afraid to cause them or anyone harm. Why is it that Kevin still needs to be alive? Why does Harry give a shit? Is it because he can't witness carnage? After all, he did almost shoot Kevin in the park! Was that legit? Well, we'll just have to see! Until next time, let's take it easy! :D
PS: I'm pretty sure you're all curious about Bryan's plan on how the bandits should sneak onto the plane. Truth is: I had no idea what I was doing! I forgot to think of a plan, and when it came to writing this, I started typing the different ideas, only to find that they wouldn't work. I know they worked in A Plan That Backfired, but this is different. I'm making it so that Kevin has to have a passport! So, guess where I got the plan from? I Googled how to sneak onto a plane, and the story that was said by Bryan actually happened! Only, more recently… I only made it happen in the 90's, for the sake of this story. You're welcome to read it! Just Google "how to sneak onto a plane", and it should be the first result by TravelTalk! Wild, huh? Let's just see how the bandits try to do it with a missing kid…
