A/N: Hi, folks. I'm running a little tight for time, even though it's Kevin's PoV… :/ Getting up at nine A.M. SUCKS. Anyway, before I lose any more time, I'd best get started! :D
Chapter 53: New Identity
Kevin's PoV:
Bryan finally exits from the bathroom, and I take it that means we're ready to go. Frankly, I don't want a new identity, but if it's to help me get out of this situation, so be it. Though, one thing that's just come to mind, is the idea that Bryan and Sarah aren't going to pull through with this plan, by taking the money for themselves, and either killing me or keeping me. But, that's just an idea I have to shake off, because it's not going to help my current situation.
"Well, now that that's all finished in there, I guess we're ready to go, aren't we?"
"You didn't do anything in there, did you?"
I bow my head, trying to hold back the laughter again, because they're bringing up this subject again. I can see, even though I'm looking down, that Bryan sighs and rolls his eyes. I know it's not dramatically, though, because I'd be tired of that question, too.
He answers, in the same manner, "Why do you keep asking that?"
"Because," She shrugs. "It's funny." I find it odd that she's trying to have a sense of humour, but it's better than doing something scary, which is what they're usually like.
"Well, instead of talking, we might as well get going. After all, this isn't the only thing we have to do today; we have to go shopping for some new clothes, too. That way, we at least blend in with the people of the casino,"
"Clothes shopping?" I question.
The clothes I'm wearing right now are more apt to get me found, since I'm probably described on the News as wearing these clothes. Then again, my hair has been dyed, so one of my distinguishing features has been taken away. Besides, I don't think anyone will recognize me, here in Vegas. Not only am I away from where the News is about me and where my abduction took place, but nobody ever focuses on other people in Vegas. It's all about the money.
"Yes," Bryan answers. "Why? Is that going to be a problem?"
"Well, no. It's just that…" I stop myself, before I speak any further. After all, I don't want these two to give me trouble for something as dumb as clothes shopping.
"It's just that what? You hate clothes shopping? You like what you're wearing? You think you'll stand out more, and be rescued with what you're wearing? I don't think so, kid. This is why we're going to a casino, remember? In order to get your ass out of our lives…"
"Yeah, I guess…" It's really no big deal. After all, it's going to help me, in the long run. It's better than having that happen to me again.
"Don't get all mopey with me, kid. If you're going to be like that, we'll lock you up in that closet, and you won't be going anywhere. This was your idea, and we're going to go through with it. We want you out of our hair, but not until we get our cut first, OK?"
"Mmhmm," I only nod.
"OK. That's better. Just because we're "getting along"," The man does finger quotes. "Doesn't mean we're not afraid to punish you still. We won't take any backtalk, especially at the casino, but we'll discuss that more later."
"OK,"
I'm only saying small words, because I don't know what else to say. I guess there will be rules in the casino, won't there? One most notable rule, being not to give away myself or these two. As much as I'd like to, I know it'd be a bad thing, in more ways than one.
"Well, now that that's all taken care of, I guess it's time to head on over to the DMV. After all, we have a long day ahead of us, if we want to get to the casino tonight," Just as I figured, it's going to be a long day. "Come on, kid."
Bryan extends his arm, wanting to grab ahold of me as soon as I stand up. I feel my skin crawl at the mere idea of this man touching me, but what can I do? For now, I'm in their hands…
Officer Harper's PoV:
I listen to what Mrs. McCallister is saying. The gist of the story basically is that after her son was abducted, she and her husband went to the Central Park Inn, where he supposedly was, and were shot in the process.
Now, the woman continues explaining the story, "Then, when we were at the hospital, we were gaslighted from the nurse there, Nurse Slader, into believing a bunch of shit about our kids. Shortly after that, that's when Leslie, our sister-in-law, told us about her husband. He admitted it to her, as if she was supposed to agree with him, or something,"
"As in, he wanted her to join him?"
"Yes. Of course, she declined, disgusted by his words and actions. Frankly, I always knew something was wrong with Frank, because he was always such a greedy, selfish jerk, and he always enjoyed picking on Kevin,"
"So, that's a sure sign that this is all about Kevin, isn't it?"
"That's what I learned,"
"Speaking of which, where's your sister-in-law now?"
"She's back at the hospital with our oldest son, since he was shot, too,"
"May we question her please?"
"If you can find the number, sure. We're not there right now; we're going to the Police Station, where Mr. Crucierge has been taken in for questioning. We're going to learn more from the police there, too,"
I decide it's best to end the conversation here. So, I say, "Oh, OK. Thank you for answering some questions for me, Mrs. McCallister,"
"Oh, really, it's no problem. I'm happy to do it. Especially since it has to do with our son,"
"I understand, Ma'am. We'll be looking more into this after we talk to your sister-in-law, alright?"
"Alright. We're just pulling up to the Police Station now,"
"Alright. Talk to you again. Take care,"
"Alright. Bye," That's when we both hang up the phone…
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! :D I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I hope it's still good! I hope you liked the bit of comedy in there, too! Are you excited as to what's going to happen, when they try to get their new identity? That's a sure sign that the casino chapters are soon! As for Officer Harper's PoV, do you think the questioning went well? Well, I guess we're going to have to hope, because that's what's been written! Anyway, it sucks getting up at nine tomorrow, so that means I should go now! Until then, ciao! :D
**YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ, BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD**
PS: Thanks to GIJoeFan985 for skimming my chapters, they found what information they could about the McCallisters' discovery of Uncle Frank. Honestly, since this story is so long, and my memory is fucked, I'm forgetting… I don't know if it's completely right (I hate plot holes), but it's what we've got! Let me know if you find anything different, because I sure as hell couldn't… :/
