Thank you FrankElza for yet again such lovely comments and for taking the time to leave them. Here's the next chapter.
At the National Park – The Car Park
The teens unbeknown to Derek had already left the National Park and the only ones that were left were him, his henchmen and Ray pretending to be Kyle.
Ray who had just doubled back on himself emerged from the bushes into the now deserted car park.
Thank you God! I didn't think that this stupid plan would work but it has they managed to get away and Derek is none the wiser. I just hope I manage to get away safely now so I can go and meet them.
As Ray pulled out his car keys and walked towards his car he didn't notice a group of men following him.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING? ALSO WHERE IS MY NEPHEW?" Derek shouted angrily as he approached Ray.
Ray turned round to find his boss standing there with a look that said he was pretty much dead.
"Come on Ray, where is he?" Derek asked more calmly.
"Who boss?" Ray asked him.
"Don't who me, you idiot! I know you have done something."
"I honestly don't know what you are on about boss."
"Really then where are you going?"
"Well I woke up as need to go to the toilet so I made my way to the communal toilets at the activity centre and when I came back you were all gone so I thought that meant I could go home now."
"You must think I'm so stupid."
"No I don't boss that's the truth."
"I don't believe you Ray."
Ray took one look at his boss and turned round to try and make a run for it but was grabbed by two guys who were ten times stronger than him.
"I wouldn't try and run if I were you Ray. Now I'm going to ask you again where is he?"
"I don't know!"
"Funny thing is I know that you know where he is."
"I thought he was still here."
"Take a look around Ray. Do you notice one small flaw in what you just said?"
Ray looked around and realised that he was a goner: "Oh I guess they left boss."
"I wonder why?"
"That's a good question boss."
"Yeah I think I know why they have left in such a hurry."
"Do you boss?"
"Yeah I think you warned Kyle that I was here."
"No boss I never."
"Then how come they are gone?"
"Don't know boss."
"I JUST SAY HIM YOU IDOIT!"
"No need to shout boss."
"WHY NOT? I JUST SAW MY NEPHEW AND FOLLOWED HIM TO A LAKE WHICH IS WHEN WE LOST HIM UNTIL WE HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE BUSHES AND FOLLOWED IT ALL THE WAY BACK HERE, TO YOU!"
"I didn't go near the lake boss."
"Hit him!" Derek shouted to one of his paid for hire thugs.
Ray's face came in contact with a fist before he had a chance to move his head.
"Now tell me where they are?!"
"NO!"
"Fine!" Derek said as he took out his phone and started to type a message.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Ray asked with panic in his voice.
"Well I figure if you aren't going to tell me where my nephew has gone, I'm going to have your family killed one by one until you tell me."
"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you where they are just please don't hurt my family. They are all I have."
Putting his phone back in his pocket Derek turned with a smile and his face and said: "Good, I'm glad I was able to change your mind. Now where are they?"
"Tell your men to let me and go first."
With one look the grip on Ray's arms vanished.
"Good now if you get in I'll show you where Kyle and his friends are." Ray said.
With that Derek got in the car and told Ray to drive.
