Chapter 5:
Tim sat in the hidden room and watched as Danny and Steve fought eachother, he loved to see this kid fight. Why? Tim asked himself, he didn´t really know. It was something about Danny McCoy and that damn Ed Deline found him first. Oh, what a bad boy the kid could have been, but it was a little to late and Danny had destroyed his plans one time to many. He and Ed would pay for it. Tim looked at his clock a few hours until Ed would see his protégé suffer, really suffer.
Danny tried to lie still and breath evenly as Steves knee pushed him down and pressuring him down on the floor. It was hard because his chest hurt like hell and breathing was pretty difficult and the burning feeling of the circulation coming back in his arms and hands was not very nice either. Frank looked at the kid as he loosen the ropes, even thou the kid was in a bad shape and been thru a lot, he didn´t complain or whine, he fought back when he saw a chance. Frank had started to feel respect for this kid and he wasn´t happy about it. He looked up as Tim walked in.
"Hey boss, can´t we give the kid some time without the bonds?" Frank asked. Tim looked at Frank than he kneeled beside Danny and grabbed a handful of hair, pulling his head up so he could watch him in the eyes.
"What do you say about that? Can we trust you to play nice with the other boys?"
"Oh, I´m gonna try, but I can´t promise anything." Danny answered, trying to look innocent.
"Don´t try anything, you maybe could get past one of us but not all three." Tim said whit a smirk.
"Ok, Steve get of his back and go find some chairs for us." Steve walked away, Danny sat up feeling a bit dizzy started to massage his bruised wrists and Tim gave him a bottle with water. Danny took it and drank a little, trying not to rush it down. Steve walked in carrying two chairs, he sat them down near the exit and Tim sat down in one of them. He montioned Frank to sit down in the other.
"Steve, go and freshen yourself up a bit, it looks like you been beaten!" Tim said with a sarcastic tone.
Danny watched Steve walk away, the dizziness starting to fade a little. He moved his arms a little, his left arm aching pretty much, he wondered if it was just sprained or something else. The arm was very svollen and had a black and blue colour, he drank some more water before he tried to stand. It took him two tries and he leaned against the wall shivering in the cold room. Frank and Tim sat facing eachother speaking quietly about the meeting with Ed, Frank glanced at Danny saw him shiver a bit and threw him the sweater. Danny took it and slowly and painfully put it on.
Then he started to walk a bit in the room, trying to hear something from Frank and Tims conversation, but Steve came back. "
Now, Danny boy, behave while I go and get things ready for our meeting. Don´t start any fights!" Tim said and walked out of the room.
Steve sat down in the empty chair and started to talk with Frank, but his eyes followed Dannys moves.
Ed had called Luis, Dannys copfriend, and Mike to his office and explained the situation for them.
"So that's it? We are going to meet them with no firepower and no backup?" Luis asked
"Yes, but we will have guns in the Humvee and we are never alone." Ed said.
"Ok, if you say so." Luis answered doubtfully.
"Lets get Danny home!" Mike said with a hopeful voice.
Dannys waterbottle was empty and he was beginning to think out a plan to escape, but the plan was not a good one. First he had to get Frank to leave the room, then try to overpower Steve.
It would never work, he sat down in the cold floor holding his injured arm close to his body and started to drift away.
Tim walked into the room and saw the kid sitting down leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Ok guys, it´s time to move! Get the kid and tie him again." Tim said.
"Wake up, pretty boy! It´s time for a ride!" Steve said walking up to Danny and grabbed his left arm and pushed him against the floor face down.
Steve twisted his injured arm backwards and the grip was stone hard. Danny tried to struggle but Steve and Frank easily tied his arms together again and they dragged him out of the building. It was dark outside but Danny was happy to breath fresh air again but it wasn´t for long. Frank walked to the driver seat in a dark van and Tim to the passenger seat. Danny was shoved in the back by Steve, who jumped in after him. As soon as the backdoors closed the van started to move.
The gas station was dark and empty as Ed, Luis and Mike pulled up. They all walked out of the humve ant took a look around. After a couple of minutes a dark van pulled up a few yards from them. Ed walked a bit closer and he tensed up a bit when he saw Tim Rascone open the passenger sides door and walked out to meet him.
