Chapter 18:
"Its about freakin' time." Mumbled Bosco. Faith elbowed him in the ribs.
"My name is Kevin Rainey." Said the man, looking over them all.
"Never heard of you." Carlos said.
"And you shouldn't have. I choose to remain anonymous anytime I can."
"What do you want with us? We don't even know you." Sully stated with an air of annoyance that he usually reserved for Bosco.
"Good question Officer Sullivan. I have always hated people like you." Rainey said with a hint of amusement as he gazed at Sully.
"People like us?" Taylor asked confused.
"People who belive that their job is to 'help' people. You don't help people! you destroy them!" Rainey yelled, everyone jumped at the sharpness in his tone.
"When I was nine years old I watched my father die in a shootout with police. When it was all over and the shooting had stopped a police officer took my to an ambulance to make sure I was alright. He told my that everything was fine and that he was just there to help. I found out later that he was the one that killed my father. I took over my fathers business when I was 19 and he was my first kill." Rainey took pause, glaring at them all.
"That doesn't explain why you chose us. Why us?" Faith was incredibly confused as to how any of this had to do with them personally.
"For years I have made the lives of people with your occupation as miserable as I was after my father died. I came to New York to do just this. I saw all of you, together. You seemed so happy and oblivious to the fact you were making people's lives miserable. I found out everything about you as soon as I saw you all at a place called Haggertys. I knew I wanted to make you miserable." Rainey finished. There was a silence before Davis, in a strained voice asked.
"What are you going to do with us?"
"Anything I want." Rainey smirked.
"What do you want?" Doc asked.
"To make you suffer." With that Rainey turned and left.
When the door shut there was a silence.
"We are so going to die." Carlos whispered, panicked.
"We're not going to die, we'll be fine." Reasured Davis, though it sounded as if he were trying to convince himself.
"What if he hangs us on those meat hooks like in that Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie! Oh shit!! What if he pulls out our intestines like in The Cell?!" Carlos's voice got louder and more panicked.
"Carlos you have got to relax." Doc reasured. Carlos stood up and started babbleing to himself incomprehensibly.
Bosco stood up and walked over to him,
"Carlos." Carlos turned around,
"WHAT?!"
SMACK
"Bosco! You shouldn't have done that!" Kim said, walking over to where Carlos now lay.
"I would have happily done it for you." Said Jimmy smileing, as his stood behind Bosco, who looked extremely tired, just in case he fell over.
"Shut up Jimmy." Said Sully.
"Yeah Jimmy......although...you know I could have hit him harder." Alex said. Kim and Doc just looked at her and then turned away.
"Is he unconcious?" Davis asked.
"I think so." Doc said, looking over Carlos.
"How hard did you hit him Bos?" Said Faith.
"Come on Faith, seriously, Bosco couldn't have hit him too hard. Look at him, Bos looks like he's about to fall over." Davis defended.
"Its more probible that Carlos was going to pass out anyway Bosco just helped him." Doc said.
"Or maybe Carlos is just a weak little-"
"Jimmy don't be an ass."
Five Hours Later...
"I still can't believe you hit me." Miffed Carlos.
"Get over it Carlos." Said Bosco.
Just then the locks on the door moved and the door opened. Rainey and his men stepped inside.
"I've decided what to do to you for your first challenge." Stated Rainey with an evil smirk.
"Challenge? What do you mean challenge?" Bosco asked.
"Let me finish." Rainey glared at Bosco, "I've decided to continue what you were doing when you first got here, only to step it up a notch."
Everyone looked fearful.
"I will select four of you to be dropped off in the woods at a random location. Your goal will be to evade the many, many, hunters out looking for you and avoid the many, many traps set up out there. If you survive for forty eight hours you've won the game."
"What do we get if we win?" Jimmy asked.
"To live a little while longer." Rainey laughed.
"If you're going to kill us anyway then why should we try?" Sully asked.
"Because, if you don't survive, the five that will be left here will be executed."
"Who are the four?" Doc asked, curiously.
"Well to be fair, I've come to the conclusion that men stand a better chance, so Yokas, Zambrano and Taylor will stay here. I've also decided that the younger, the faster you can run away. Parker and Sullivan stay." Rainey explained.
"What?" Exclaimed Carlos.
"Shut up Carlos." Stated Bosco.
"No that doesn't make any sense! What about those of us with out police training? What about those who are injured?"
"You're not injured." Jimmy said.
"I was knocked unconcious by Bosco!" everyone rolled their eyes.
"Don't we get any say in this?" Faith asked, annoyed that she couldn't help.
"No." Rainey stated, "Boscorelli, Nieto, Doherty, and Davis, come with me." He turned and led the way out while his men hauled up the four competitors.
"Bye."
