Chapter 8 Clues of Fright

Sean knew they had to find them, as did Joy...Sean was looking around for any clue or any lead. Joy was sitting on one of the tree stumps wallowing in sadness.

Joy: What are they going to do to him!?

Sean stopped looking and looked at her.

Sean: They know he's a monster...

Joy: What?!

Sean: They may kill him....or make him a freak show in front of people...

Joy: NO!

She stood up, anger and rebellion against Sean's thought.

Joy: No! I won't let them do that to him!

Sean: Neither will I...

Joy: But how can we find him?!

Sean: Hmm.....ah!

Joy: What...?

Sean: We do have a lead....

Joy: And what's that?

Sean: There car, the bow gun and the knife...

Joy:????

Sean: I saw a store name on the bow gun...how about the knife?...
Joy: Uh....Yeah!

Sean: Ok...

Joy: But how does that help?...

Sean: Well each weapon store must have a person's address or phone number...

Joy:....Well if it will get Randall back lets go!

Sean: Got it!

They both got into Sean's car.

*

(Smack!)
Randall: Oww!

Randall fell to the ground after a blow to the cheek by Hands gun. His feet and hand's were tied by rope that he couldn't break. Hands circled Randall.

Hands: I came all the way from Europe for you....

Hands: Wasting my time chasing you here!

He kicks him in the stomach.

Randall: Ehh!

Hands: I thought I might just hand you on my wall...

He pointed the gun to Randall's head.

Randall was too much in pain to notice.

Hands: But I've decided on a more lifting topic for you....To make you a part of the freak show in Fright Fest...

Randall moved his eyes to Hands face showing rage and hatred for the human in them.

Hands: Don't look at me like that!

He kicks him in the eyes knocking him back more.

Hands continued mocking and hurting Randall as Cliff watched. Cliff only liked Hands killing animals that had no mind of there own, but Randall did making Cliff have second thoughts...

Cliff:....

Hands: Cliff!

Cliff turned his face to Hands..

Cliff: Yeah....

Hands: Lock this thing up, well show it up at the Fright Fest....

Hands took one last look at Randall. He could hardly move but was in agony and pain. He then went inside the cleverly hidden house. Cliff walked over to Randall looking down at him.

Cliff:......

Sean was driving as fast as he could.

Sean: Ok...

He thought for a moment.

Sean: First stop, the mall..

Joy: Why?...

Sean: That knife he had looked like one in a collectable store....

Joy: Ok but lets hurry....

*

The two had come into the Frederick town mall and ran down the building. Sean led Joy to a collectable's store near CBS. They ran up to the owner who was behind the counter that had different types of knifes.

Sean: Excuse me...

The owner turned.

Owner: What you looking for?...

Sean: Umm...A friend of mine came in here and brought that knife..

He pointed to one that best described Joy's description.

Owner: What did he look like?...

Sean described them both.

Owner: Oh yeah...strange guys...

Sean: Great! Now where do they live?...

Owner I don't know...

Sean's and Joy's head fell in defeat. They were so close. Sean perked his head up.

Sean: Anything about them?

Owner: Uh yeah they wanted to rent out a car...

Sean: Where did you suggest?...

Owner: Umm....That place by Weis, up the road....

Sean: Thank you!

*

They drove quickly to a car shop near the Weis and Mc Donald's. They got out and went over to a small like office building and knocked on the door. And a large fat man exited.

Man: Whadda you want!

Sean gave the description of the hunters.

Sean: So where are they?...

Man: Sorry I can't tell you that!

Joy pulls Sean away and speaks to him...

Joy: Sean what are we going to do!

Sean: (Chuckle) I got an idea...

He leads her back up.

Sean: Well too bad your not going to tell us.....

Man: Why....?

Sean grabs him by the tie he was wearing.

Sean: Because if you don't a dear friend of mine will be killed...Got it!

The man hesitated.

Man: Oh...ok....just don't hurt me...

He hands Joy a piece of paper...

Sean: Good boy..

He releases him and they go into the car and drive off.

Joy: Why did you do that?...

Sean: I will go at any lengths to rescue a friend....

Joy:...Yeah...Your right! I will to!

Sean:....

*

The paper was actually directions to the place, but...

Sean stopped the car and got out.

Sean: Oh great!

Joy: What?..

She got out and saw they were back at the fair grounds.

Sean: That cheating..!

Joy: Oh we'll never find them..

Joy: And Randall will be....

Sean: No he wont!

Joy looked at him...determination in his eyes.

Sean: They wont win!

Joy: Sean....

Sean: He's my friend...and yours too...we can't give up!

Joy:....

Sean:........

(Flash!)

Sean/Joy: !!!!!

A flash of light came from some trees not that far off...They ran toward it...

*

Hands: Cliff! That was too much power!

Cliff: Sorry...

Cliff was testing the power and they blew one of the lights out in there house.

*

Sean and Joy saw this.

Sean: We found them!....

Joy: Look!

She pointed to a cage that had Randall in it. They ran over behind it.

Sean: Randall!

Randall perked his head up.

Randall: Sean...Joy...

Joy: Yes its us!

Sean: You....

He looked at him tied up and beaten.

Sean: Oh they'll pay for this!

Joy: Lets get him out of here!

Sean: Wait...

Joy: What!?

Sean: We got to get him out and nail those two...

Joy: But....

Sean: Joy, if we free him now they'll follow us.....

Joy: We can't leave him here!

Sean: I got a plan...

Sean looked back at Randall...

Sean: Randall can you survive one more night....

Randall: I...think....

Sean felt his skin.

Sean:....Here..

Sean took off his sweater and put it on Randall.

Sean: There...ok Joy...

Joy:...???

Sean: Lets go set it up...

Sean got up and ran toward the fair grounds.

Joy looked at Randall.

Joy: Randall....we'll be back...Were your friends...we'll never leave you...

She got up and ran to Sean.

Randall: Friends.....?

*

Joy had reached him.

Joy: What are we going to do?...

Sean went over to a truck and pulled the sheet that covered its back.

Joy:!!!

It was filled with rope, circular lights, bars of steel, and various other things. Joy got the idea of what he was thinking.

Joy: Oh....

Sean: Home Alone has a new name...

Sean: Hollow Alone...

Joy: Oh yes!

Good huh? Anyhow only 2 chapters left. What will happen?...
