Hope everyone is enjoying the story! Short chapter, will update in a few days...
I picked up Callie at ten in the morning. We were going for a hike a town over from Bayport.
"Did you talk to Joe when you guys got dropped off last night? Something was really weird with him. Vanessa asked the minute you guys left"
"No, he went straight up to bed. And this morning, he was gone before I got up! Joe loves his sleep"
"That's really weird, we all know Joe sleeps as long as he can"
"I wonder if something happened at school yesterday, maybe I should go look around there"
"Want me to come with you?" Callie asked.
"Yea, we could do that tomorrow"
"We could set a dinner date with the gang tonight, just to see if we aren't going crazy"
"That's a good idea, see if anyone else notices something"
"It wouldn't hurt"
"I hope we're just going crazy but there were a lot of things off with my brother last night. The shoes thing, he didn't know where we were going and at the restaurant, he ordered something he had never eaten before after he had talked about the shrimp pasta all week"
"I don't know Frank, those might be coincidences, maybe Joe was feeling tired"
"I just feel like something is wrong"...
I heard my phone buzz, then looked at Tom. He was smiling.
"Oh, I'm invited to supper tonight with all your friends! Some pizza place. Yay! I get to meet more of your friends!"
"Please, don't leave me here. Let me go" I whispered.
"Stop pleading, nothing you say is going to change my mind! Have a good time with Maurice. Oh, did I mention his last nice is O'Connor" I coughed as realized who this Maurice was. Oh dear god, my dad arrested this guy ten years ago. He was sentenced for life, as he murdered several people. I was really dead.
"I see you have clued in to who I am" Maurice walked closer to me and kneed down besides me, "We are going to have fun together".
"Okay, well I'm off! I'll try to get back tonight, if not tomorrow morning. Don't kill him yet" My twin smiled and walked up the stairs and out the door.
"Now, it's just you and I, boy" Maurice started to untie my legs, "Get up" he demanded me. I tried to get up, but my legs felt like jelly. I leaned on the chair.
"Just let me go, please. I won't tell anyone" I pleaded with this maniac.
"Hahaha" He just laughed, "Give me your arms" He picked up handcuffs and handcuffed my hands together. Maurice grabbed some rope and put it through the cuffs, then hung the rope over the rafters on the ceiling. My arms moved up over my head, as my feet came off the floor.
"Ah" I gasped at the sudden pain in my arms and shoulders. I could see Maurice tie the rope and I was left hanging off of the floor.
"Oh, I am going to enjoy this. Do you know that your father killed my younger brother and then put me into jail. I lost everything because of Fenton Hardy, and now I get to take something away from him. His youngest son. I am going to make you wish you were dead and then, maybe if I'm feeling generous, I'll kill you" I didn't know what to say. I was terrified, there was no way I was going to get out of this one. No one even knew that i was here. I was distracted with thoughts when the pain began. Maurice had started punching me. Punch after punch. I was in pain, a lot of pain.
"Stop, please stop it" I mumbled, trying to make the pain end. It didn't stop though, it just kept going…
End of chapter 4! Please R&R :)
