Chapter 9:
Two-Bit
I wondered if Soda was getting all hot and sweaty with someone! If he were I would be sooooo jealous! But, if he wasn't, I was very concerned about what was happening to him.
"I can't believe this!" Darry yelled, "I'm suppose to be the one protecting him!"
"Hey. it's not your fault, Dar. It's nobody's fault except for the people who did this. There's nothing we could do.. I mean they gassed us." Johnny said, timidly.
"Johnny's right!" Dally stood up from his spot on the couch, "We've called the police, but obviously there's only so much they can do. We can't help that they took Soda; we've just got to get him back. Am I right?"
We all cheered and tried to form a plan.
Soda
A guy walked into the room. He had to be in his late twenties or early thirties, and I didn't recognize him at all.
"Well, well, well Caleb. Good to see you're finally awake." Said this obviously confused stranger.
"Caleb?" I tried to say through my gag.
"Shall we take this off?" the creepy guy asked as he moved closer to me.
I nodded vigorously. The guy untied my gag, none to gently I might add, and then he looked straight at me. I could almost see the crazy in his eyes. Then, I noticed for the first time that he had a heater on him.
"I was just wondering who Caleb was." I said, and immediately bit my tongue, the crazy in his eyes seemed to get worse the minute I opened my mouth. He punched me in the gut. Hard! I started to cough up blood as I tried to gasp for air. I knew I wasn't yet completely healed from the accident at the DX and I hoped that the punch didn't cause the internal bleeding to start again. It seemed as though I may be here a while, and I knew that once the internal bleeding starts, it isn't long before you're finished.
"Don't get cocky with me, Caleb! And did I tell you to talk? Noooo! I don't think so! You know the rules! I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but you couldn't have forgotten the rules! I'm back now so if you want to pretend you forgot the rules, that's fine! I'll just have to re- teach them to you, that's all!" He punched me again, in the same spot only harder then the first time.
I was in extreme pain, and if I hadn't of been tied to the chair, I knew I'd be on my knees. If the first blow to my gut didn't cause the internal bleeding to start again, I was sure that this one must have.
"Sir." I began after I could breathe again, "I am not Caleb."
This time I got smacked across the face.
"Don't you EVER lie to me! You know what happened to Marco when he lied to me, Caleb. You don't want to die a slow and painful death like he did, do you?"
I shook my head, not wanting to speak anymore.
"I didn't think so." Crazy guy said as he started to walk away, "I'll check up on you after you learn not to lie anymore. Then I'll re-establish the rules around here." He stopped walking all of a sudden, and turned back to me slowly.
"Just remember," he pointed his gun at me, "who's in charge."
Then he left me, once again, alone to dwell on my thoughts. But this time I felt more lonely then I had ever felt in my entire life. More lonely then even when mom and dad died. At least I had the gang then.
Now all I have is me, and I realize that I am a very sad person.
Darry
The police knocked on the door and I went to answer it. I knew it was the police because they called and told me they had a suspect.
What I didn't expect was the police to have Sandy with them.
"Sandy?!" I said with my mouth hanging open.
"Hey, Darry." She looked so guilty. But if Sandy did all of this, where was my brother?
I led them to the living room and the looks on the guy's faces when they saw Sandy mimicked mine.
"I have a confession to make." Sandy said, "I have been prank calling here threatening Soda. I also got some friend's to call, too. I'm sorry." She hung her head.
"And." Two-Bit said expectantly.
"What and?" she asked, confused.
"Where's Soda?" Dally demanded angrily.
"You think I took Soda?" now she looked shocked, "I'd never do that, ever! I love him still. He's the father of my bab." she gasped.
"What?!" I yelled.
She looked even more ashamed, "I didn't want anyone to know that I was pregnant. But I am and it's Soda's."
"Why should we believe you?" Pony asked, glaring. (Which is very unlike Pony).
"I have only ever slept with Soda." She said.
"Does he know?" Steve asked. Sandy shook her head.
"I felt bad for all of the phone calls so I came here to apologize and tell Soda about the baby. I just got back here half an hour ago. I heard about the kidnapping in the radio on the way over. I thought I'd better go tell the police everything I know, first and then I'd come here.
"I knew you guys would probably suspect something if I just showed up here out of the blue, so I thought I should tell the police first. I thought if I showed up here unexpected after all of this you'd probably call them anyway. I'm sorry that I did all of those prank calls.
"But, I swear to you I didn't take Soda. Or harm him, for that matter. I never would, I love him."
I looked at Sandy and then said, "I believe you. I know you love Soda, and I know Soda loves you. So if you were the mysterious prank caller, who in the world took Soda and blew up the gas station?"
Duh, duh, duh! Yea. I'll try to update soon!! I decided that I would finish this story and then work on one of my others to finish it as well, etc. This way at least one story can keep getting updated! Once again sorry about how long it took!!
