A/N: Hiya, folks! :D I'm a little late, with starting this, but let's hope it doesn't affect it too much! We'll be getting more into Kevin's idea about the casino in this chapter! So, I guess we should go!
Chapter 37: A Deal II
Kevin's PoV:
Sarah looks amused, but I know she's curious of my idea of how to get into the casino. I'm right, when she asks, arms crossed, "Oh, really? Do tell,"
"Of course, it's a given that you'll disguise me, but that's not going to cover up the fact that I'm a kid, isn't it?"
"Well, no. But, what's your point?"
I'm surprised how they're listening to me so carefully, considering how they think I'm stupid. I guess it's only because it's about the money. Also, I'm surprised they're listening so carefully, after they just did that to me…
"I think, if you somehow convince them that I'm some sort of genius or, better yet, am related to the casino owners, then we may just get a chance,"
"Related to the casino owners, huh?" Sarah looks skeptical, but considering. "What if that doesn't work?"
"Then, you do your gambling your own way, but at least it's worth a shot. After all, I don't intend to stay with you forever,"
"Jee, thanks a lot…"
"Well? Are you in?"
"Are we in, huh? I just have a question for you,"
I become numb, as I worry what the question is. "What?"
"How do you suppose having us allow you to go into a casino is going to help us? After all, aren't you going to use that to your advantage? I'm sure those are your words,"
"My advantage?" I think I know what she's getting at…
"Yeah, I mean, how are we supposed to hide the fact that you're our hostage? I know we'll disguise you, but still,"
"I won't say anything to anybody," I can't believe I'm saying this… "You have my word."
"Oh, really? It seems as though you've lied to us before, you little twerp. How are we supposed to take your word for it this time?"
"That's easy: I don't want that happening to me again…"
"It's already happened a second time," Sarah tilts her head. "It can easily happen a third time."
"Exactly. And I don't want that again,"
"I know you're truthful about that. After all, you'd have to be insane to want that,"
"Says the one, who's guilty of doing it to me…" I mutter. She just glares at me, I believe trying to think of an insult. I know Bryan is, too, since he's also glaring at me.
"I'm going to ignore that comment," I'm surprised that's all she says. She then reverts the subject back to the original topic, "Now, how are we going to go about finding the information on the casino owner? After all, he could be a black guy, for all we know."
"I guess we're going to have to do our research, then…"
Agent Carter's PoV:
I hang up the phone, feeling speechless and stunned at the madman's words. How am I supposed to give up on this case? After all, that kid's life depends on it… What am I going to do?
"So?" The voice of Officer Harper makes me jump. "How'd it go? Did you get any deals out of him?"
"No. Not exactly…" I admit, disappointedly.
"What do you mean? You're an F.B.I. Agent. You're supposed to be skilled in getting the criminal to listen to you,"
"Yeah, well, it didn't quite work out that way…"
"How so?"
"Let's just say, we're off the case…" I'm speaking with a drift in my voice, because I feel so lost, and even dumb, at what just happened.
"What do you mean? Is the kid OK?" I can tell the man fears my answer.
"I don't know. I don't think we'll ever find out, until the McCallisters hand in the money…"
"Why? What did you say to him? What did he say to you?"
"Basically, if I know what's good for the kid, the police are to stay out of the case,"
"You're kidding…"
"Nope. I wish I was…"
"Well, what are we going to do now?"
"I guess try to figure out someway to help that boy, without being noticed…"
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again! :D I hope the final PoV isn't too rushed for you, but I became tight for time. What do you think will happen? Agent Carter doesn't really seem to be taking Mr. Hector's threat too seriously, because he plans on working discreetly to save Kevin. I guess that's better than not helping him, at all. But, still… He could still be caught! Do you think he will be? Well, I guess we're just going to have to find out! As for Kevin, do you think he has the right idea? After all, how are they going to find out that information about the casino's owner? It's not like they had Google back then… Are you excited about this casino excitement? ;) I know I sure am! For now, I bid you goodnight! :D
PS: I forgot to say that the other day, I sent out a resume to eleven different places. Talk about anxiety. o.o
