Chapter 38: Unusual Punishment II
Kevin's PoV:
"Question one: How many siblings do I…"
"Four," he answers, before even giving me a chance to finish the question.
"But…"
"But, what, kid?"
"How… How would you have guessed it so easily?"
"I have a way of knowing these things…" he answers, smiling at me.
"Have you been… watching my family, or something?"
"Yes," he answers, but I don't know if I should believe him, or not. "Yes, I have. I've watched everything that you and your family do. I've watched you going to school, going on outings together as a family, celebrate Christmas together. I've seen it all."
"No," I shake my head. "You're lying…"
"Perhaps," He takes another sip of his beer, which I'm unsure if that's how this works, or if he's just doing it, because he's a thirsty alcoholic. "Or, perhaps, I could be lying… But, you'll never know, now, will you?"
"Since you got the question right, whose turn is it to drink?" I ask, and I realize that it might have been a mistake to ask, since he might have forgotten.
"Well, I drink, when I want to. As for you, since I got the question right, it's your turn to drink," He leans over the table, so that he's closer to me. "Thank you for reminding me. I nearly forgot," He messes up my hair even more, while smiling at me. "Now, drink," Once again, he turns stone cold. I'm unsure if he's lying about, not only knowing my family, but about forgetting about me having to drink. Though, I drink about the same amount as I did before, not helping my stomachache, any… I have to think of a question that he may not know the answer to, if it is true that he knows my family… "Alright. On to the next question." Al tells me.
"Question two…" I start to say, holding in a belch, because of the beer. I place my hand on my chest and continue asking, "What's my favourite type of show? Cartoons or R-rated movies?"
"I'd figure for a kid your age, you'd like cartoons. But, since you have older siblings, they might watch R-rated things, which I'm sure you'd watch, too. Therefore, I'm going to have to go with R-rated movies,"
I do like cartoons, and I've never been allowed to watch R-rated movies, but when I was left home alone last year, I did get a kick out of Angels with Filthy Souls! I really don't know if his answer's correct, or not. I do like both! So, I just say, in order to save myself from another drink, "Wrong answer…" I look down at the table, saying this.
"Are you being truthful with me?"
"What?" I look up at him.
"I know you've watched an R-rated movie, without your parents' permission. Don't lie to me, kid!"
"I'm not lying!"
"You can't tell me that you haven't watched at least one R-rated thing in your life!"
"I have, but…"
"Well then, don't lie to me!"
"I'm not…"
"Enough. Now, drink,"
"You got the answer wrong! Why should I drink?!"
"Because," Al smirks. "I said so… If you talk back to me, that's how it works. If you do it again, down in the basement you'll go. You hear me?"
I just start to cry, looking back down at the table. "This isn't fair…"
"Nothing is fair, Kevin. Though, you should know that, considering how you grew up with siblings, who treated you unfairly,"
I look up at him, now knowing for sure that he knows about my family. "How'd you know?"
"Because," he starts, as he smirks. "You just told me… Now, stop stalling and get to drinking!"
"Please…" I beg.
"Now. The only way out of this is you being sent down to that basement. Now, which is it?" Wiping my eyes, I take another sip out of the can, before I rest my head on my arm on the table. "Hey," He flicks my head a couple times. "This isn't nap time; it's question time. You still have three more questions to ask me. This isn't over yet, kid."
"Please…" I beg, as I'm still face-down in my arm.
"Look, if you get through this, I'll send you to bed up here, and I won't blindfold or gag you, or anything, OK?"
I look up from my arm at him. "I'm just tired…" I thunk my head back down onto my arm.
"Kevin," he warns.
"Alright…" I look back up at him. I then say, starting to feel a little woozy, "Question three…"
Harry's PoV:
As I'm planning my revenge for Mrs. McCallister, I still hear the never-ending beeping of the monitor. The useless paramedics are still trying to perform CPR on Marv, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything! I can't lose Marv now! Not like this! "Come on, guys! Save him!" I blurt out.
"We're trying to, Mr. Lined! Just, please…" the one paramedic tells me, as he still tries to work on saving my partner.
"Well, try harder!"
"We're doing the best we can, Mr. Lined…" the other one tells me, seeming to be out of breath.
"Well, make him come to life again! Please!" Once I say that, I come up with the perfect plan to get revenge on Mrs. McCallister…
Al's PoV:
As Kevin is about to say what question three is, I hear my phone ring. He looks up at me, once this happens. I pull my cellphone out of my pocket, seeing that it's the kid's Mother. I sigh, before saying to the kid, "Excuse me," He thunks his head back down onto his arm, before I get up from the table. I head to my bedroom, away from the kid. He feels too sick to get up from the table, so I believe that it's safe to talk to his ungrateful Mother in here. I finally answer the phone, "Hello?"
"Hello? Mr. Polinski?"
"Yeah. What?"
"I need you to do something urgent for me, and I need it done right away…"
"What? I'm a little busy here, lady!"
"This is more important than what you have to do! I need this done fast, or this whole thing will be pointless!"
"What will be pointless, Mrs. McCallister?"
"I need you to get rid of my son. Now…"
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again! Yay! An update that makes up for not updating last night! :D I'm sorry about that, by the way, but I was too tired to even concentrate on this! Well, what do you think will happen next? How's the rest of the phone conversation going to go between Al and Kate? What's going to happen to Kevin, especially since he's now starting to feel woozy? What's going to happen with Marv? What's Harry's plan for revenge on Kate going to be? Well, I guess we'll just wait until (hopefully) tomorrow night! Until our next meeting (I thought I'd change it up), ciao for now! :D
PS: I think I fixed the problem with the size of my words!
