2 chappies in 2 days! All Thanks from your reviews! I live off of them! Lol! And yes I agree that josh could have done so much more with the Ryan/Caleb story line... but thats why we write right? Lol... ok on with the story!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny!" Backstreet Boys "The Call"
Ryan groaned in pain. 'Why couldn't he just kill me and get it over with?' He thought to himself. He was back and forth between consciousness and unconsciousness. He knew they were still driving and he felt the gun on his side but pretended not to. He tried to think of going home to Sandy, Seth, and Kirsten but after this, why would they want him? He put Caleb in danger. Because of the man he used to call dad came back for HIM. If he wasn't living there he never would have hurt Caleb. He coughed. He put his right hand to his mouth and felt something sticky. He opened his left eye. Blood. He had internal bleeding. Ryan was scared for a moment but then he realized he would finally be taken out of this world. Away from the pain and suffering. And at the moment it was strangely comforting.
Caleb looked back when Ryan coughed again. He saw the blood come from his mouth and he saw Ryan put his hand to it. He noticed that for a second fear came over Ryan but then it looked like he was relieved. Caleb was confused but just hoped he could get Ryan to a doctor.
John sighed when Ryan coughed again. He wished the kid would knock it off. He just wanted to get them to a secluded place and let the old guy go. He didn't need murder on his wrap sheet. What he was gonna do with Ryan was a different story. Kid was in bad shape. He would probably bring him down.
IIIIIIIIII
Sandy was pacing when an idea he didn't think of before hit him. "His cell phone!" He said to himself and dialed Caleb's number. He couldn't believe he didn't try this before. He waited as it began to ring.
IIIIIIIII
Ringing went off in the truck. Caleb realized it was his cell phone. John peered over at Caleb.
"Which pocket?" He asked.
"Right pants pocket." He stated and John fished it out and read the caller id.
"Sanford." John stated. Ryan opened his good eye and looked on. "Who is that?" John asked.
"My son-in-law." He stated. John tilted his head. 'This could be interesting.' John thought to himself and opened the phone.
"Hello." He stated sweetly.
IIIIIII
Sandy listened as he heard someone pick up the phone. A voice he never heard before answered.
"Who is this?" Sandy asked. He heard the other man chuckle.
"Someone in charge." He stated.
"John Atwood?" Sandy said with his eyes narrowing. By this time police started to gather around him hooking up equipment to track the call. Seth and Kirsten by his side.
IIIIIII
John gasped. They knew. "You're too smart for your own good," He stated.
"Where is my son and father-in-law?" Sandy demanded. Right to the point John thought.
"He is MY son and he is right here so is the old man." John stated into the phone. "If you want to see them again I would shut up and do as you're told." John stated. He could tell Sandy was getting pissed off on the other end of the phone.
"What do you want?" Sandy asked.
"Simple. To not go back to jail. You will get Ryan and the old man back if I stay out of jail." John stated. He already had the money. He heard Sandy sigh.
"Fine." Sandy stated knowing the guy was going to go back to jail. "Tell me how I can get them back." Sandy stated.
"I'm going to drop them off some where. When I do I will call you back and u can come get them. By that time I will be long gone." John said.
IIIIII
Sandy was looking at the officers. "Ok. That's fine but before I agree I have to hear that both are ok." Sandy stated.
"Fine." He said and he heard the phone shifting then a mumble. "Talk kid."
"Sandy?" Sandy heard Ryan ask but he sounded really weak.
"Yea kid. Are you ok?" Sandy asked worried. He noticed that Ryan had labored breaths.
"Not really." Ryan stated honestly. The phone was jerked back. 'Now you old man' Sandy heard John say.
"Sanford." Caleb stated. "I'm fine. Just do what he says." Caleb stated and the phone was again taken back.
"See. They are fine." John stated. "I'll call you." He said and hung up. Sandy looked at one of the officers.
"What do we got? Do we have anything off the GPS system on Caleb's phone?" Sandy asked. The officer looked at him.
"Yea. We have the people back at the station tracking the car." The officer said. Sandy smiled. He was never happier then at this moment for people coming up with stupid things that he thought no one would need. They all piled into the police cars and headed off to find them but they knew they had to be discreet because of the two hostages.
IIIIIIIIII
"Are you really going to let me go?" Ryan asked weakly to his father. John looked at him.
"Don't see why not. You did what I needed done. And you would only hold me back." John said sneering. Ryan put his head back once again. He still wasn't sure what would happen but he knew Sandy would look for him even though he wasn't sure why.
A half hour later they pulled in to a wooded area. John still not knowing of the cops following him. He dragged Ryan out of the car and Caleb got out. Ryan leaned against the truck for support. John picked up Caleb's phone and waited for Sandy to pick up.
"Hello." Sandy said. John gave them the location and hung up before he could respond. John pulled Ryan off the truck. Ryan lost his balance and fell to the ground hard. Caleb went over next to him.
"Are you ok?" He asked. Ryan grunted. Just as John got back into his truck sirens were heard and the car was swarmed. John hopped out quickly and grabbed Ryan using him as a shield and holding the gun once again to his head. Ryan, confused by the pain, wasn't sure what the hell was going on. He heard his name being called.
"RYAN!" he opened he eyes and saw cops along with Sandy, Kirsten and Seth standing behind the car. Guns were pointed in his direction and he though he did something wrong. That's when he realized he was being held up by his father and a gun was at his temple. "Shit' Was all he thought.
"I SAID NO COPS!" John yelled. "ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LET ME GO AND EVERYTHING WOULD'VE BEEN FINE!" John yelled again. His arm was around Ryan's neck and he was holding him hard against his chest. Ryan put his right hand on his fathers arm. Mostly for support so he wouldn't fall.
IIIIIIIII
Sandy watched in horror as John took his son and held a gun to his head. He looked at Ryan and saw just how bad of shape he was in. His right eye swollen shut and his left arm swollen and different colors. He looked so weak and small against that big ogre behind him. He heard Kirsten gasp and looked over at her. She had her hand to her face and tears rolling down her face. He put his arm around her.
"It will be ok." He said trying to convince them both. He noticed Caleb standing back in shock as well. He was holding his hands slightly up trying not to further agitate the man. John was so irrate that Sandy was sure he was going to blow any minute. And take Ryan with him. He couldn't take his eyes off of Ryan for fear if he did, when he looked back Ryan wouldn't be there any more. He saw Ryan flinch and his feet move to try and keep up with John as he moved about. This time Sandy couldn't save him, he could only hope the police could.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Caleb watched the scene in shock and like Sandy, in horror. He never thought in the last 4 hours he would be taken hostage or be defending a kid that hours before he wanted out of the house. He watched Ryan's face contort in pain and watched John sway back and forth yelling things at the police. Caleb didn't hear what he was yelling, he was just concentrating on the boy. He had to do something to help him. He saw John turn away and that was his chance. He charged John just missing Ryan and tackling the man to the ground. Still being attached to John Ryan fell to the ground anyway. As soon as John hit the ground a shot went off. Everyone froze.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
