Get out!" Steve demanded again. Kristen of course being as dysfunctional as she was protested with all her might. Unfortunately being a 13 year old didn't help because Steve ripped her out of that trunk as illegally as ripping off a mattress tag. While Kristen was cursing all the way back Steve was getting fidgety.
'When's she going to call?' He thought, franticly.
After shoving Kristen in the closet closest to his bedroom he paced the floor several times. Cole sat down on the ground after fully realizing what had happened. No one had a bumper sticker, custom made by the way, like Steve on his car. 'He's my kid, I'll do what I want with 'em' is what it said. His stomach lurched as he thought of what he might do with Kristen. He could starve her, beat her, torture her, and even kill her in cold blood. He came to the conclusion that it was his fault; he should never have hit her.
"COLE!" Some one yelled behind him. Cole thought it was Peter and was prepared to sprint off when he saw that it was Scott. Scott had a concerned, brotherly look on his face when he reached Cole.
"What's going on?" He asked confused.
"Kristen's been kidnapped. And before you say she just ran, I saw her get into a car with my father." Cole said but realized Scott knew little if anything about his father so he explained it. Scott's eyes went wide in terror with each passing sentence until finally he could take no more.
"Stop... I don't want to hear anymore." He exclaimed, covering his ears. Cole stood up.
"Well, if you don't want to hear anymore we need to get going." Cole said. Scott looked at Cole like he was crazy. "I'm not going back without her." He finished. Scott agreed finally after 15 minutes negotiating it and they started off.
"Where do you guys think your going?" Some girl asked from behind Scott and Cole. They turned around expecting the worst but finding the best. Well in Scott's case. It was Shelby standing with her hands on her hips and making her eyebrow face. Scott smiled.
"We were just coming back for you." He lied. Shelby smirked.
"Riiiiight" She said as they resumed walking.
Kristen, miraculously, managed to bite the tape off her mouth and she was screaming so loud her voice started going out.
"LET ME OUT OF HERE, DAMN YOU!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. "IF YOU DONT LET ME OUT ILL SCREAM SO LOUD THE AMISH WILL COME RUNNING!!!" Just then Steve busted in the door. "DO YOU WANT TO GET HURT? BECAUSE IF YOU DO YOU ARE REALLY PUSHING IT!" screamed Steve. Before he shut the door again he brought his hand up getting ready to give Kristen a preview of things to come, but the phone rang and Steve forgot all about Kristen shut the door and raced to the phone hoping it was the call he was expecting.
*Earlier*
Scott, Shelby, and Cole had reached Agnes and they were dead tired, but all that kept them going was the thought of rescuing Kristen. "Hey lets go into that gas station over there to take a rest and see if anyone has seen Kristen" said Shelby "Good idea babe" replied Scott as he gave her a kiss "Can we save this for later, right now we have to find Kristen" said Cole in an annoyed tone.
"Ding Dong" was the sound that was made when the three of them walked into the gas station. They were all rushed towards the freezer in the back of the store and they didn't notice the lady standing at the cash register hiding behind her sunglasses. When they reached the drinks they remembered that neither of them had money "son of a mother" said Shelby. "Its ok Shell" said Cole opening the freezer "didn't you learn anything on the streets" said Cole looking around and then grabbed a Dr. Pepper and quickly stuck it into his coat pocket. "What are you doing, if we get caught we will get arrested" protested Scott "Then don't get caught cowboy" replied Shelby with a smirk also grabbing an affianced drink.
They decided they would go up to the clerk to ask him if he had seen Kristen. When they walked up to the register right as the woman in the sunglasses hung up a cell phone. "Uh, excuse me sir," said Shelby. While Shelby was talking to the clerk Scott heard "hello there Scotty, did you miss me?" said the woman as she took off her glasses "Oh, no. You" said Scott in a whisper. Without another word he ran out of the gas station. "Scott!" Shelby yelled, "Stay here, I will go after him," said Cole as he took off out the door. Shelby couldn't understand what had happened until she heard a laugh coming from the woman next to her "What is so funny?" Shelby asked in an annoyed tone as she turned around "Oh, no" said Shelby before she turned around and headed out when she heard Elaine laugh even louder. This got Shelby really mad so before she went out she stood two feet away from Elaine and said in a cold tone "you, bitch!" said Shelby then she brought her fist up and it made contact with the side of Elaine's cheek. The blow to the face knocked her off balance, which gave Shelby enough time to run after Cole and Scott.
Please review. Thanks.
