Adam was a little surprised, but if he had wanted to say something, he didn't.
"I don't know what you have against me. I'm your mother. I was in labor with you and Matt for about 29 hours." she said.
"Why the hell do you think we hate you?! You left! Just because I quit figure skating, which, by the way, is no fucking reason to leave your husband and children." I screamed.
"I know. But I didn't think you would forget about me." she said, sadly.
"We did! Or at least we were trying to. Dad and I got rid of everything in the house that reminded us of you. We threw them out, and burned a lot of the junk, also." I said.
"I feel so unwanted." she said.
"You are unwanted." Caleb said, softly.
Lucky for him, she didn't hear him.
"Diane, I thought you said you weren't going to let her know that we had Kaylee and Caleb." a man walked in.
I gasped, as I recognized who it was.
"I knew it! Dammit! No wonder. I can't believe I didn't realize that earlier. He said something about you when he grabbed Matt that night! Dammit, you two are in on this together! I can't believe you two! Why do you do this? Why? To mess with my head?!" I screamed even louder this time, trying my hardest to get loose.
"I wouldn't even bother with that. We tied you up the tightest. I know that you're an expert when it comes to tying and getting out of ropes. I remember when you and Matt were younger. I always found it amusing to come home from an evening out with your father to find the sitter hog tied to the bed post in one of the guest rooms, with lipstick all over her face, and chocolate syrup in her hair. It was no wonder that we could never find a sitter for you two."
How dare she, how dare she?! How can she bring up Matt at a time like this? God, I'm beginning to feel sick.
"Fuck off." I said.
"I'd watch the way you talk to the two of us. After all, we have all control over what happens to Kaylee." my mother said, and walked out. After tying Caleb to a chair, directly in front of me.
I gasped, as I saw the large purple bruise forming under his right eye.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Are you guys?" he replied.
"I'm fine." Adam said.
I nodded in agreement.
"I'm ok. My head hurts a little." Scooter said. He'd just come too.
"I'm going to somehow find a way to blame this all on you 4." Riley said, angrily.
"Shut up!" we all yelled.
"This is not the time to be pointing fingers at people, Riley. We could be killed any time now, and I highly doubt that anyone actually knows where we are." I yelled at him.
"Time to call your parents." Lance sang as he walked in with a portable phone.
I thought for a minute. Both Caleb and I get to talk, if we keep him on the phone with my dad for at least 2 minutes, then they can trace the call.
"We'll start with this one." he said, poking Riley with his foot.
I zoned out, thinking of ways I could keep my dad on the phone for 2 minutes. But I knew it would never work.
"Your turn, Lauren." Lance said.
"It's Laura." I said.
"Whatever." he replied, and held the phone up to my ear.
"Hi, Dad." I said.
"Laura!" he shouted.
"Yeah." I said.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure."
"Yeah."
"I miss you, and we're doing everything we can to find you guys."
"I miss you, too. And I know."
"Alright, that's enough. It's his turn, now." Lance said.
"Daddy?" Caleb asked.
They talked for a little bit, and then Lance said a few things to him, and hung up.
By then, I knew it'd been more than 2 minutes.
Oh, I hope they have the phones tapped.
*Julie's POV*
"Julie! They found them! Mr. Morgan had his phones tapped or whatever and they were on the phone long enough to get the location of where they are!" Connie yelled.
"Great." I muttered.
"Julie are you ok?" Connie asked, looking at me.
"I'm fine. But the deal's off. I'm not going to be nice to her anymore. You know I can't stand her, and I'll give you your money back as soon as I can find it, because I'm not going to be nice to her anymore. And there's nothing you can say or do to make me change my mind." I said.
"Julie, she's a person, she isn't a threat to you. She doesn't like your boyfriend, or anything. And it wasn't her fault he got kidnapped." Connie sighed, exasperated.
"It is in my book." I muttered, and continued to search under my bed.
I know it's under hear somewhere.
"Dammit, Julie! She doesn't like him the way you like him! She likes him as a friend! Besides, she likes Adam."
This got my attention, and I gave up my search.
"How would you know? Did she tell you or something?"
"No. It's the way she acts around him. Like last week, after she got called into the Dean's office for dislocating Cole's shoulders? She must have ran into Adam coming back here, because the next day, she blushed when he walked past her in the cafeteria. She blushes every time she sees him. And in case you haven't noticed, Scooter wasn't the only one that got kidnapped. And if you had a heard a word Mr. Morgan had said when he came to investigate, the person that kidnapped them, wasn't after Scooter or Adam or Riley. They were after Laura."
"I don't care who he or she or it was after! I still don't like her. She's a showoff and a goody two shoes. And if I wasn't under oath by you, I would have told her that. I don't like her! Get that through your head! I. Don't. Like. Laura. And I never will."
I stopped listening to her after that.
*Laura's POV*
"This is all your fault, Morgan. As soon as we get out of here, I'm going to get Coach Wilson to kick you off the team." Riley said.
He'd been babbling on and on about this for what seemed like years, but was probably only 5 minutes.
"It's too late for that." I said.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Riley asked.
Finally, he's on a different subject.
"I already quit. I quit after practice today." I said.
"You haven't even gone through an actual game, and you quit?!" Caleb asked.
"Stuff a sock in it, kid." Riley said.
"Don't talk to my brother that way." I said.
"Fine."
"Finally. He shut up!" Scooter said.
"So, who's Kaylee?" Riley asked.
"None of your damn business." I replied.
"Who's Matt, then?" he asked.
"Also, none of your damn business."
"Is anything my business?"
"Would you just shut the hell up?!?!?" Lance yelled.
"Who died and made you dictator?" I mumbled.
"You know, when I get the signal, you're the first to die." Lance said, pointing his gun at Riley.
"My father will hear about this!" Riley yelled.
"News flash, Rick! We're all gonna die! Of course your dad's gonna hear about this! On every news station, in every newspaper and around every corner in the entire state of Minnesota!" Scooter yelled.
"You guys are giving me a headache." Adam said.
"Shut up, Banksie!" Riley yelled.
"Everybody shut the hell up!" Caleb yelled.
"This is not my ideal way to die." Riley said.
"Look, we've all been in the same room with each other for the last 6 hours. Hardly any of us can stand each other, but we're going to have to deal with it. Fighting with each other isn't going to help." Scooter said.
"And Kaylee and Matt are no concern of yours, Riley." Caleb said.
"Stuff a sock in it, kid."
Before Caleb could come up with a reply, there was a loud banging on the door.
"This is the FBI, open up!"
"Finally!" I cried.
10 minutes alter, we were all outside, but Kaylee was no where in site.
"Where's Kaylee?" I asked the man next to me.
"Who?" he asked.
"Kaylee. She's three. She's still in there." I said, frantically.
"There's also a women in there." the man said.
"Yeah, she's the brains of the operation, genius. And she's the one that has Kaylee." I said.
After that, I was escorted away from the man.
I think it was about 20 minutes, before I saw a female agent escort my mother out, in handcuffs. Another agent followed her, holding Kaylee.
I shot up from where I was sitting, and ran over to her. No one bothered to stop me, probably because they were a little afraid of me. I sort of kicked a plain clothed agent in the groin, because I didn't know that he was an agent, I thought he was a friend of Lance's.
"Mama!" Kaylee screamed.
"Kaylee." I cried, taking her from the man.
"I wasn't scared, Mama." she giggled.
"I was, though." I smiled, kissing her forehead.
"I can't believe you." My mother said.
"Oh, go away." I replied.
"This isn't the last of me. I'll be back." she warned.
"Yeah, whatever." I replied.
"Can we go home now, Mama?" Kaylee asked.
"Yeah, sweetheart." I said.
"We're going to take you back to school." an agent said. "We'll take these two home."
"No. They come with me." I said.
"I'm sorry miss, but that's the way it goes."
"If they don't come with me, I'll be one very unhappy person. And you don't want to see me unhappy."
"Fine. Have it your way."
I smiled triumphantly.
"I still say this was all your fault." Riley said.
I was going to reply, but I didn't get a chance to. Adam turned around and punched him.
"For once in your life, shut up."
