A/N: Hello, peeps. I hope I'm making good timing, but we'll just have to see. I want to make this a decent chapter, but that can't really happen, if I'm talking, can it? I guess I'm going to have to "can it", so we can get started on this chapter! ;) Let's go!
Chapter 51: The Next Morning III
Kevin's PoV:
Bryan groans, as he pulls himself out of bed. I don't know what else to do, except stand here and watch him do so. Sarah's doing whatever she's doing in the bathroom; probably what girls generally do in the morning. As for me, I'm just anxious to go to this casino, so that I can help myself get out of here.
Once Bryan's sitting up, he grunts, like a chubby man should. He stretches, yawns, and scratches his head. He then speaks his tired words, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing," I find it's best to plop down on the opposite bed. Why stand, when I can be resting my foot? "Sarah told me to wake you up, and she didn't say anything after that."
"Yeah, well, don't get too comfortable. We'll be leaving as soon as I'm done in the bathroom,"
"Did he think of a new name yet?!" I hear Sarah holler from the bathroom. I look at the direction of the bathroom, feeling a little nervous, because that's something I haven't done.
Since I don't give an answer, Bryan asks, "Well? Did you?"
"Umm…" I can't lie, because they're just going to ask for the name, which is nonexistent. I guess I should be truthful by answering, "No, not really…"
"Why?"
I shrug. "I just couldn't think of one,"
"It's not that hard, little fella. You could've chosen Dylan, Steve, Peter…" he starts listing off a bunch of male's names, and once he says my Father's name, I feel a little sad inside. If only my Dad was here… He wouldn't tolerate any of this shit happening to me. "Oh, that's right… Your Dad's named Peter, isn't he?" I look down at my lap, as I nod, feeling the loss and the separation from my parents. "Well, don't feel too bad. If all goes well with this whole casino thing, you'll be reunited with them, in no time,"
"You sure?"
I look up at the man, with very little hope that he's telling the truth. Tears are actually starting to form in my eyes, because I miss my parents so much. After all that's happened to me, I'm longing for them terribly.
"Quite sure," It's strange that he's being this way, when he's usually talking mean to me and/or yelling at me.
"I'm done," Sarah announces, as soon as she exits the bathroom. "Bryan, your turn."
"Thank you," He rolls his eyes, before standing up from the bed. "Jeez. What were you doing in there?"
"Combing my hair, brushing my teeth… You know, that sorta thing,"
"Alright, but if you did anything else in there, I'm going to refuse to use that bathroom," Sarah looks confused, as I try to hold back my laughter. I have a slight feeling at what Bryan's talking about.
"What's so funny?" Sarah gives me a dirty look, and I know it's best to shut up now, even though it's hard to.
"Get your mind out of the gutter," I also receive a dirty look from my male captor.
"The gutter? Why? What were you thinking?" she addresses him, with a firm point.
"Nevermind…" The man shakes his head. "The kid's ten years old. He shouldn't be thinking like that,"
"Why? What should he be thinking?" Yeah, really… It's strange that Bryan says that, because he's the one, who did an unspeakable act to me. If anything, he needs to get his mind out of the gutter.
"Nevermind. Now, it's my turn to use the bathroom. Afterwards, we'll leave. We need to get the kid his new identity. And since he hasn't thought of one, we're going to make one up for him, aren't we?" By now, the man is shuffling his feet toward the bathroom, while talking.
"I thought I told you to think of a name," Her anger is directed right to me. I know I'm in trouble now, since I didn't think of a name. I feel small, wondering how mad she is…
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of a good enough one…" I apologize, hoping it does the trick.
Sarah dramatically sighs and rolls her eyes. "Fine. I guess we'll have to pick out a name for you. In the meantime, just wait there. Bryan should be done soon,"
After that's said, the bathroom door closes. Sarah fiddles around in her purse and her other bags. I'm just sitting here, while there's an awkward silence, wondering what sort of name they're going to choose for me. I just hope it's nothing stupid, and that it's believable for the DMV and the casino…
Officer Harper's PoV:
Waiting for Mrs. McCallister to reply to my question, causes there to be an awkward silence. I'm waiting patiently for her to answer, but she doesn't seem to be able to. I find it my responsibility to ask, "Uh, Mrs. McCallister, are you still there?"
"Oh, uh… Yes. I was just thinking,"
"Thinking? About what?"
"Oh, you know, that question… I just find it odd that you should ask that,"
"Why's it so odd? Did I tap a sensitive subject, or something?"
"No… OK. Well, kind of. You see, Kevin's Uncle Frank is the inside man of this situation. He's the one, who wanted to get rid of Kevin, for however long,"
"Really?" I feel a bit of remorse, for the kid's sake. Also, I find it odd that I'm actually right about this. "Tell me more. How did you find out?"
"Well, it all started the night Kevin was abducted…" I eagerly listen, waiting for Mrs. McCallister to share her story…
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again, folks! :D I hope it's a good chapter! I know Kevin's PoV was good, but I know Officer Harper's PoV (I thought I'd switch it up a little) was a bit of a disappointment… The reason why, is because I can't remember how Kate found out about Uncle Frank. I went to look at the old chapters of Streets of New York, but I couldn't find it. Mind you, I just glanced… That's if she actually found out. Honestly, I can't remember! So, when I get the chance, I'm going to look it up, unless one of you remembers! (Honestly, my memory is so bad…) I just hope they actually did find out, or Kate's going to be making up a story…
Anyway, what do you think of the comedic bit in Kevin's PoV? What's going to happen, once they get some new ID? As for Officer Harper's PoV (we've been over this), what do you think will happen? Will there be any more clues, which will lead them closer to Kevin? I guess we'll just have to see! In the meantime, ciao! :D
**READ PLEASE**
PS: This is unexpected, but I just found out today, that I won't be able to update tomorrow night. Unless things change, I'll let you know. I'm working at six P.M. again tomorrow, and I don't know what time I'll be done. I won't make any guarantees that I'll make it up on Saturday, but I will update on Saturday. I just don't know how spectacular it'll be, since I don't know my schedule for Sunday. Anyway, I'm sorry for the inconvenience (because, honestly, I'm excited for the casino, too)! But, we'll get there! Don't worry! ;)
