A/N: Hello again! I hope you guys don't hate me… I'm sorry for not updating for almost two weeks, but things have been really busy! Since it's Spring in my town, things will be picking back up, and I'll be working more hours soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up with this story and everything else I have going on. For now, let's go! :)

Chapter 22: Early Morning Ideas III

Kevin's PoV:

For some reason, it feels nice being in a car. I guess I thought I'd never be in a car again… Though, despite the joy I'm feeling, I'm also feeling kind of nervous. I don't know why… I guess it's because I sense something. Is something bad going to happen to Marv and I? I look over at him, with the nervousness I'm feeling. He's looking quite happy.

"Isn't it great to get out this time of morning, buddy? It's not too often I'm able to get out and enjoy a cool Fall morning,"

"Where are we going?" He glances over at me and notices the nervousness I'm showing. The nervousness is actually overtaking my feeling of joy of being in a car.

"It's nowhere you should be concerned about. Don't be so scared,"

"How can I not be?" The discomfort in my voice is rising. "You handcuffed me to a bed this morning!"

"I didn't know what to do at the time, OK?" Marv glances at me, looking a little concerned. "You running off more than once in the short time you've been with me has raised some red flags,"

"Well, what else am I supposed to do? I'm not gonna automatically give in to being your son. My Father, Peter, has been my Father for nine years, and that's not gonna change!" Marv looks a little hurt at those words. Does he actually think I'd give in to being his son, after nine years of Peter being my Father?

"Of course I didn't expect you to believe it right away, but you will, eventually," Marv rubs my head, causing me to freeze. "It just takes a little time, is all, right?"

"I guess…"

"Don't look so sad. We're going somewhere you'll like, trust me," Hearing the words "trust me" coming out of Marv's mouth, doesn't exactly place trust in me, automatically. In fact, I have even less reason to trust him, since he is a criminal…

"Trust you? You're really expecting me to trust you?"

"Yes…" Marv pauses. "Trust me," I roll my eyes, because hearing those words coming out of Marv's mouth again, has kind of irked me, already.

In the distance, I can see a fast food place up ahead—an A&W, in fact. I haven't been to A&W in awhile. I've always liked their onion rings… I have a slight feeling that's where we're going, but it doesn't shake off the nervousness I'm feeling, though.

"Is this where we're going?" I ask, pointing to the fast food joint.

"As a matter of fact, it is," Marv smiles. "You're smart," Marv pats me on the shoulder, which I don't like any better than the first time he touched me. Is this what I'm going to have to deal with? A touchy Father? My Father, Peter, has never been this touchy. We pull into the A&W parking lot and proceed to the drive-thru. Now that I think about it, I've never been to an A&W opened this early in the morning. That's when I notice on the sign: "Open 24 hours". "Alright, kiddo. What do you want?" Marv rolls down the window, as he pulls up to the speaker box.

"I guess I'll have the breakfast sandwich, with a side hashbrown,"

"Do you want anything to drink with that?"

I've always liked their ginger ale, but I'm in the mood for something else this morning. "I guess I'll get a chocolate milk with that,"

"Sure thing, buddy," Marv pulls right up to the speaker box. My nervousness hasn't died down any. Why are we going out for breakfast, anyway? What's the catch?

"Good morning. How can I help you?" the female voice on the speaker asks.

"Hi! Could I get a breakfast sandwich and a hashbrown please, with a chocolate milk…"

"What kind of breakfast sandwich do you want?"

"Uh…" Marv turns to me.

"Bacon," I simply say.

Marv faces the speaker box again. "Bacon please,"

"Anything else?" the A&W worker asks.

"I'll get another breakfast sandwich, but with sausage please. No hashbrown. Oh! And, a medium coffee, with two milk and one sugar please,"

"Would that be all?"

"Yes,"

"Your total is $3.50, and I'll see you at the window,"

Marv pulls up to the window. The idea has formed in my mind to somehow get one of the A&W employees to notice I'm an abducted child. I don't know if I should, though… Then again, I don't know, if I don't try.

Once we're up to the window, Marv hands over the exact change to the worker. Our food is ready almost instantly, as she hands it over to Marv. As Marv is about to pull away, and the fast food window is about to close, I take this chance to shout out, "Help!"

A startled look appears on the worker's face. A look of terror appears on Marv's. My eyes widen, and my stomach drops, as I realize I'm in trouble. That's when Marv immediately zooms out of the drive-thru, and speeds out of the A&W parking lot, in general…

To be Continued…

…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! Well, we ended that suspensefully, didn't we? I have an idea, but it seems as though I'm going to get to it differently than I originally planned. Though, that's all part of writing, right? The characters tell the story more than the actual writer does… Anyway, what do you think will happen next? Is Kevin going to get in trouble? Will the A&W worker call the police? Will the food get eaten? We have all of these important questions, and no really good answer for them yet! :o Admittedly, I have no idea when I'll be able to update again… Though, we won't find out for awhile, what's going to happen with Kevin, since it's Marv's PoV next! Hopefully, I'll find some time this weekend. For now, ciao! :)
