Author's Note: Told you I would not space my Chapters out to much! :) Here is Chapter 36 that incorporates Bluewolfbat's idea. The idea was for Simon to attempt to escape but get stuck under a drop cloth. I will say I am a little bit disappointed in how only 2-3 people sent in ideas. I will still be be accepting ideas for what the kidnappers could do to Simon. So please send me your ideas by PM or by leaving a review and I will try to work them in. :)
Chapter 36
Bad Choices
Sam: Well I better get going. I am having undercover cops keep an eye on your house.
Sam opens the door and takes a couple of steps outside.
Dave: I don't see any undercover cops.
Sam: Exactly. I am going to go check and see if anyone has made any progress.
Dave: Please let us know if you hear anything.
Sam nods his head and leaves.
Back to Simon:
Scarlet: He is always sleeping. Our fans aren't paying to see that. Robert go wake him up.
Robert: With pleasure! Any specific way?
Scarlet: Surprise me! She says smirking.
Robert then goes and stands in front of Simon.
Robert: How could I wake him up? I know!
He then pulls a lighter out of his pocket. Once lit he lefts Simon's head up and touches the flame to Simon's chin.
Simon then wakes up.
Simon: OW! STOP PLEASE!
Robert: You were sleeping too long.
Just then scarlet walks in.
Scarlet: I was hoping for something more but I guess it did wake him up.
Simon: Why did you wake me up?
Scarlet: The fans won't pay to watch you sleep. We are getting ready to enter a peak time for viewing.
Simon: So what are you going to do to me today?
Scarlet: It's what the fans want. If you don't cooperate that's when we step in and torture you!
Simon: I guess I will cooperate then. Hopefully, the fans are not jerks like you two.
Robert: Why I otta…. He stops as Scarlet puts her had on him.
Scarlet: Calm down. I like it when they still have a little fight in them. It gives me something to break. She says in Simon's face.
Simon: I will never stop fighting! No matter what you do, you can't break me!
Scarlet: Challenge accepted!
Scarlet then turns towards Robert.
Scarlet: Come on we have things we have to do before restarting the stream.
Simon: Before you go I would like to make a request.
Scarlet: Oh what's your request?
Simon: I need to go to the bathroom.
Scarlet: Well I guess I could grant that request.
Robert: Should I get the bucket?
Scarlet: No. Since Simon seems to be cooperating a little we will let him use the bathroom. But Simon if you make one false move…. You will regret it!
Simon: I understand.
Robert then removes the straps holding Simon. Once the straps are released Simon falls as his arms and legs have gone numb.
Simon: Thank you.
Scarlet: The bathroom is over there.
Once Simon gets feeling in his legs he walks over to the bathroom.
Simon: I can't believe they released me like that. Perhaps if I do cooperate I will make it out alive.
Soon Simon finishes going to the bathroom but he notices blood in the toilet.
Simon: I am bleeding internally. I have to get to a hospital before they end up killing me.
Simon then cracks the door and looks around. He sees no one.
Simon: This is it!
Simon sneaks out of the bathroom and runs over to some scaffolding with drop cloths over it.
Simon: That would be a great place to hide a door!
But all of a sudden Robert returns.
Robert: STOP!
Simon: This must be the way out if they want me to stop! He says thinking to himself.
Robert then pulls out his gun and fires a warning shot. The bullet ricocheted off of a pipe and hits a pulley that was holding up a drop cloth this cloth falls on Simon. Simon starts trying to crawl out from under the drop cloth but his feet start getting tangled up in it. Then Robert comes and pulls it off of him. As Robert tries to grab him Simon manages to slip away.
Robert: That's it!
Robert then shoots Simon in the shoulder.
Simon screams out in pain at the top of his lungs before falling and hitting his head on the scaffolding. Simon is now unconscious and bleeding out.
Scarlet: WHAT IS GOING ON!?
Robert: He tried to escape so I shot him.
Scarlet: You idiot! Benjamin stop the bleeding before he bleeds out!
Benjamin: Yes boss!
Benjamin tears off part of the drop cloth that fell on Simon and tightly wraps it around where the bullet hit Simon.
Benjamin: This will hold for now but he needs medical attention.
Scarlet: Well he is not going to get it.
Benjamin: What!? He will die within days!
Scarlet: Hopefully by then we will have all the money we need.
Benjamin: How can you be so heartless!?
Scarlet: Fine. When he dies I will take 5 dollars of the money he helped get us and buy some flowers when we bury him. She says laughing and walking off.
Scarlet: Benjamin strap him back up.
Benjamin starts strapping Simon back up.
Benjamin: I am sorry Simon. He then walks off.
Back to Alvin 2 Hours later:
Alvin comes downstairs.
Dave: How are you, Alvin?
Alvin: I am doing a little better Dave. But all of this still hurts.
Dave: I know Alvin.
Theodore: Do you want anything for lunch Alvin?
Alvin: No I am just going to watch some TV hoping that maybe I can take my mind off of all of this even if it is just for a few moments.
Dave: Good thinking Alvin.
Alvin turns the TV on and the news is on.
Alvin: Wait I know that reporter.
News Reporter: By now most of you are aware that Simon Seville has gone missing. But I have exclusive footage that shows his brother Alvin running from police and being arrested.
The TV then starts playing the footage of Alvin running, being tased, and arrested.
News Reporter: I would say that Alvin is the number 1 suspect in Simon's disappearance.
News Reporter 2: I would have to agree with that. Alvin has always enjoyed being in the spotlight. With his brother out of the way, all eyes are on him and he only has to share the light with his younger brother Theodore but Alvin may already have a plan to dispose of him as well.
Dave then turns off the TV.
Alvin just sits there in complete shock.
