Life Saving: Chapter Six

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hobie stood up from the couch. "I'm going to take a shower…Do you need to get one?" He asked her.

"Yes. I think I should." She said.

"Would you like to go first?"

"No, no that's okay. You go first."

"Alright, be right out." He said walking upstairs to the bathroom.

Beverly stood up and walked around the living room, there was pictures of Hobie when he was little, and a lady who must have been his mom. She walked over to one wall where there were pictures of Mitch and a bunch of other people in lifeguard uniforms. They looked very professional.

Hobie came running down the stairs about ten minutes later. "Go ahead. There are towel in the closet in the bathroom. Take your time." He said to her.

"Okay, thank you." She said going upstairs to the bathroom. It was kind of big. She grabbed a towel and set her extra clothes down on the sink.

Beverly walked out of the bathroom, dressed, and her hair brushed back.

"Hey! Feel better?" Hobie asked her walking her into his room.

"Yes I do, actually." Beverly said with a smile on her face.

Hobie sat her down on his bed. "I know this may seem sudden but I wanted to do this since I saw you." He said. Hobie leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

Beverly pulled back but then kissed him back.

Hobie fell on top of her kissing her.

"Hob--" Mitch said walking into his room.

Hobie jumped up. "Hey dad."

"I was wondering if we could all sit down and talk." Mitch said trying to ignore the fact that it looked like his son was about to have sex.

"Sure." Hobie said, standing up and helping Beverly up. All three walked downstairs.

"Beverly, I need to know all you know on these guys." Mitch said.

"Oh no." Beverly said. "What time is it?" She asked them.

"Four thirty." Hobie told her.

"I'm supposed to meet those guys at five pm tonight." She informed them.

"Well you can't just go there." Mitch said to her.

"I have to though; it's just a matter of time before they find out where I am if I don't go."

Before anyone could answer her, the door bust open and sure enough it was the three guys wanting their money.

"How did you find me?" Beverly asked them, shocked.

"Easy, we followed you." Tanner said, walking over to Beverly and grabbing her, then holding a gun to her.

"No!" Hobie yelled jumping up.

Another guy ran over and grabbed him and held a gun to him.

The last guy did the same with Mitch.

Mitch knew he couldn't do much since they all had guns and he didn't want to take a chance in Hobie or Beverly being hurt, so he stayed put.

"Let's go for a little ride to sea, shall we?" Tanner asked pulling Beverly to the door and out to their van, with his buddies right behind him.

Once they arrived at the pier, they carefully loaded everyone into their boat, making sure no one saw them or suspected anything.

Tanner and one of his buddies kept a gun to the three while the other one drove them.

"Why are you doing this?" Beverly asked him.

"Because your brother owes me money." Tanner answered her.

"My brother is dead! Don't you get that??" Beverly screamed almost crying.

"I don't care. I want my money and if that means killing you, then so be it. But I will get my money."

The boat finally came to a stop.

"Alright everyone dress up!" Tanner said with a smile on his face. He pulled out straight jackets and his buddies and he put them on Mitch, Hobie and Beverly.

"Off you go." Tanner said. "Say hi to the bottom of the ocean for me." Tanner said laughing as him and his friends pushed them off the boat and into the water.
