CHAPTER 8 Plot Thickens
"Get off of my back...there's too much you lack....Get away.....get away....don't want you to stay....," Kira sang, trying her hardest to sing the way she usually does. She was so exhausted. She thanked the heavens that this was her last song to be recorded. As tired as she was, she would find the strength to go on her dinner date with Trent that night. It was three o' clock in the afternoon and there was no way they would keep her too much longer. If they did, the former Yellow Dino Ranger would raise some hell.
"Stop stop, Kira," said Darryl, another sound technician. Kira let out an exhausted sigh and looked towards the window into the other room.
"Which part did I mess up now?" Kira asked.
"Look Kira, I don't know what's up with Aaron but he's driving you down to the bone. This is your last song, take the weekend off and we can finish it Monday," Darryl said.
"Darryl, don't take this the wrong way because I'm engaged, but I absolutely love you right now," Kira said. Darryl and the other guys in the studio laughed.
"Go get some rest Kira," Darryl said. Kira soon gathered her things and headed out to her car. She was so looking forward to getting a restful nap before getting ready for her date with Trent. For once, she would be refreshed and energetic. Little did she know how closely she was being watched. Stacey watched as Kira drove off. She hit speed dial on the phone.
"Ford is on her way to get ready for her precious date tonight. You know what to do," she said seductively. She closed her flip phone and smiled evilly. After waltzing back into Reefside Recordings, a rustling from the bushes started. When he knew it was safe, Blake stepped out of the bushes and cut off his video camera. He pulled out his own flip phone and sped dialed Hunter's number.
"Hello," Hunter answered.
"Hey bro, it's me. You were right about this Stacey slut. She's up to something, along with her dad. Leila, Tori, and Kim are watching out for Kira. But you and Tommy need to head over to Trent's house and keep an eye on him. I think this girl has something planned for him tonight," Blake said.
"Okay, Tommy and I will head over there now and explain everything to Dr. Mercer. He needs to know about all of this too. Take whatever you got to Hayley. She's working with Cam to get this all edited just right. Meet us over there when you're done," Hunter said.
"Got ya. See you in a bit," Blake replied. Meanwhile, Leila, Tori, and Kim were watching the front of Kira's apartment from the woods across the street.
"I feel terrible spying on Kira," Tori replied.
"Focus Tori. The spying is HELPING Kira," Leila said.
"I know that," Tori said defensively.
"Hey, there she is," Kim said. The girls turned their attention to Kira's front door. They saw Kira park her car, grab her stuff, and walk into her apartment. Kim put used her walkie talkie phone.
"Tommy, Kira's in her apartment," Kim said.
"Okay, keep an eye on her. Hunter and I are watching Trent," Tommy said. The girls continued to watch Kira's front door. Meanwhile, Tommy and Hunter were watching Anton pace back and forth. They had just explained the entire situation about Trent and Kira. Anton was having a hard time soaking it all in.
"Why? Who? Kira and Trent don't deserve this, WHY?!" Anton explained.
"Evil still lurks in the world Anton. Unfortunately, Kira and Trent of all people got caught in the middle of it," Tommy said.
"Are they in any danger?" Anton asked, extremely concerned.
"We're not sure. In order to prove Aaron and his daughter are doing this in the first place, we might have to let more than we want to happen. But we aren't watching them this closely to lose them, Dr. Mercer. Leila and I both love Kira like a sister and I feel is as much of a brother to me as he is to Leila. We're not going to let anything happen to them," Hunter said firmly. Even though he knew Anton had accepted him, he wanted Anton to trust him. Anton stared at Hunter for a second then nodded his head.
"I trust your word Hunter. And I won't say anything to Trent," Anton replied.
"Thanks Anton," Tommy said, shaking his hand. Tommy walked out the front door, leaving Hunter lingering behind in front of Anton.
"Everything all right Hunter?" Anton asked.
"Yes sir," Hunter said before following Tommy out the front door. Anton watched as Hunter walked out. He shook his head, knowing that soon enough, Hunter would get the courage to ask him what he longed to ask. Hours later, night had fallen. Hunter, Blake, and Tommy were stationed in significant places around the Mercer property. Anton had left a few hours earlier on an overnight business trip.
"Here comes Trent," Blake said into their head-set walkie talkies. Trent walked out of the front door, locked it, and made his way over to his car. He was in a dressy suit. He began fiddling with his keys when Tommy noticed something.
"Check it out," Tommy said. The two guys Stacey had bribed quickly made their way across the grounds towards Trent. At the last second, Trent noticed them and began defending himself. Tommy noticed that Hunter was about to sprint across the grounds to help.
"Hunter hold your ground," Tommy whispered firmly.
"But Tommy...," Hunter pleaded.
"Do you want these people to go down for what they're doing or not?" Tommy asked. Hunter's response was a stubborn huff and then silence as he watched his friend begin to lose the fight. Eventually, Trent became extremely tired and one of the guys knocked him unconscious.
"Is Trent okay?" Hunter asked, unable to tell from his position.
"I think he's just unconscious," Blake said as he watched the guys drag Trent to their van a good ways off. Tommy used a special camera to zoom in on the license plate and got good pictures of it as well as the car.
"You two follow the van. I need to get these pictures back to Hayley," Tommy said, as he moved from his position. Blake and Hunter stripped down to their ninja suits and streaked off after the van. Kira had decided to wait on her front stoop for Trent. It had been an hour since he was suppose to pick her up. The girls watched their friend sadly from across the street. They wanted nothing more than to comfort Kira when she looked worried and cried.
"Something happened to him. I know it. Something happened to my brother," Leila said, knowing Trent well enough to know that something terrible must have happened to keep him from Kira. Tori rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.
"Kira feels the same way. But I know as well as you do that Hunter and Blake are watching out for him," Tori said to her friend.
"And Tommy and Hayley are putting everything together to Aaron, Stacey, and anyone else involved will go down," Kim said. Suddenly, Leila's cell phone rang. She quickly answered it. She looked from Kim and Tori.
"It's Kira," she whispered carefully. Tori and Kim sighed. They prayed silently in their hearts that Trent was all right as Leila tried to comfort her future sister-in-law.
Where are they taking Trent? What is the plan? Will the others involvement stop anything terrible from happening? Please R&R.
