Chapter 5

A week later....

Kirsty had arranged to meet Kane at his new house. They had been seeing each other for a week now, and although Kirsty hated having to meet in secret, she was happier than she'd been in a long time. This time however, Kane was late. She heard a car approach. She looked up to see it wasn't Kane but a taxi. A blonde haired man got out, paid the driver and started walking towards her. She instantly recognised him at Scott Phillips "Well hello there" Scott greeted Kirsty. He had a smile that made Kirsty shiver. She didn't like how he was looking at her. "Hi" "What's a pretty girl like you doing here?" "Waiting for someone" Kirsty said quietly. She hadn't dared look Scott in the face. She just wished Kane would hurry up. "Wouldn't be Kane Phillips would it?" "Does it matter?" Kirsty was trying to act brave, but inside she was shaking. "That's not very friendly is it? Have you been stood up. My brother never did have manners. How about we go wait inside for him, you look cold." "I'm fine here" "That wasn't an offer." Scott's tone turned nasty. He broke in, grabbed kirsty's arm and pulled her inside" "Let me go, you're hurting me" Kirsty's voice was full of fear. She knew exactly what Scott was capable of. "Just do as I say, and I won't hurt you anymore." Scott dragged Kirsty into the front room. He let go and as he did Kirsty turned to run, but she wasn't quick enough. "What's this? Doing a runner? I don't think so" "Look please I won't say you're here, just please let me go" "What's your name?" "Kirsty." "Well Kirsty, I will let you go when my brother turns up. You see, I didn't want to do this, but my brother didn't do what I asked, so he left me with no choice" said Scott as he pulled a gun from his pocket.

Kane was driving along the main road from the bay to Yabbie Creek. He was late for meeting Kirsty. It was his bosses fault. Its not that he wasn't grateful for the job, or that he didn't like Scott Hunter, but he was forever being held up to finish little jobs. He rarely got to spend any time with Kirsty and couldn't believe he was so late. As he pulled up to his house, he saw that Kirsty wasn't there. That's weird he thought, Kirsty wouldn't just leave. He stopped the car, and as he did, noticed something was wrong. The door had been broke into. He slammed the car door shut and run to the front door, but found he was unable to open it. It had been barricaded. He ran to the window and as he looked thru the glass, saw Scott sitting with a gun pointed at someone who was sat on the floor. It was Kirsty.
