My World

Chapter 7 Kione (someone from nowhere) & Nigol (dark-one)

"Okay, Kione, open the trunk." The powerful Mexican drawl commanded. As the trunk opened Gordo thought, he wasn't trying to be mean to Miranda or her heritage, but Mexican accents can be kinda creepy.

The bulkier man with a Southern accent answered, "Alright, Nigol. Do you think they'll have enough air back here?" He asked as he opened the trunk to the small car.

"We made air holes-alright kids-give me your names and remember," He pulled out his gun for show, " no funny business. I've got the gun." Nigol said.

Gordo spoke up first, "David Gordon."

Nigol looked at his folded list from his pocket, "Son of the psychiatrists? Jackpot. Get in, David."

He hesitated for a second then got in the trunk and tried to make enough room for Lizzie. He didn't want her to be hurt in any way, well, not more than she already had.

"Elizabeth McGuire" She said as she tried not to cry as she thought of how they left Miranda inside.

Suddenly Kione made a comment, "You're the one with the weasel for a brother, right? We left him inside with the other girl didn't we?" Lizzie just nodded.

"Get in there-NOW-blondie." Nigol demanded as Kione snickered and got in the passenger side of the car.

[In the trunk]

Lizzie was shaking as she tried to hold back her tears, "I'm scared, Gordo. What if Matt doesn't get find your parents in time and what if Miranda isn't really okay?"

Gordo was smoothing down Lizzie's hair as she silently sobbed against his shirt. "Don't worry. Just have faith. Everything will be okay. At least we have each other and Miranda has Matt to help take care of her."

Gordo took off his coat, it was hot inside the trunk anyway, at least to him it was, but Lizzie was shivering, so he put the coat around her. He prayed that Matt could get to his parents in time and if he didn't, he at least wanted to be home tomorrow, so Lizzie could celebrate Christmas with her family. The only reason he could think of to hold them hostage would be for ransom.

Miranda came painfully limping into Gordo's house with Matt trying to help her walk.

"If I'd done my hair quicker this morning, we would have been shopping at the mall by the time those guys got to the Digital Bean." Miranda cried.

Matt looked surprised and he quickly recovered, answering, "It's not your fault. It was obvious those guys are only keeping them for ransom, so they won't hurt them in any way. Fate made sure we were there. We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Miranda looked up at Matt, obviously still doubtful of what he said, but believing him, "I hope they're home for Christmas and I hope they are okay."

When they reached their destination, a day later, on Christmas, something wasn't quite right. Gordo was having problems breathing so he knew they were at a higher altitude and he could see a very spacious countryside and lake ahead of him and the cabin. He couldn't think of any mountains or countryside near his neighborhood . . .

Kione must have seen something in Gordo's face because he said, "You're in a different state so don't try to get away or figure out where you are."

Nigol went up to Kione and said, "I'm going to the next village, which is 20 miles away, and taking the only car here." He walked to the car started the engine, slammed the door, and drove off into the distance.

Kione led them into the small cabin. When he opened the door warmth flooded the now freezing teenagers. He knelt down, tied his shoe, stood back up, and turned to them, "Let me show you where you are sleeping tonight." He opened the door to what looked like a cupboard in the kitchen and cold, frigid air blew out. Lizzie shivered and looked at the floor and noticed two sleeping bags. Very little sleeping space tonight. So they had planned on kidnapping someone, she thought, why us?
