Welcome to Minecraft! You'll Never Leave...
Chapter 7
There was a knock on the door. I lifted my head, and opened the door. "Yeah?"
"There's someone who says he knows you." a receptionist said, and a guy came up through the elevator. I looked at the receptionist.
"Uh...it's fine." I said, she walked away quickly.
I was shoved into the hotel room. Mitch was still sleeping.
"What's the big idea?!" I yelled, trying to wake Mitch up. He punched me, and I gripped my cheek.
"I want you and your friend to stop your little investigation." He growled.
"And why would we?!" I said louder. Mitch turned over. C'mon Mitch!
"Because I have ways to quiet flies!" He yelled. Man, I barely have to do any of the work! Mitch sat up.
"Huh?" I jumped on the guy's back.
"Get off!" He threw me to the floor. Pain blossomed in my back, and I couldn't sit up. Mitch threw a punch. The guy stepped on me, and I pulled him to the ground, rolling over on top of him.
"GO!" I said.
"No! I'm not leaving!"
"I can't stand up. Just go!" I retorted. "Go!" The guy pushed me to the side, and Mitch fought him. The idiot!
I tried to stand up, and managed to get to my knees. My breathing was shallow. It hurt so much.
"What do you want?"
"What?"
"You came here for a reason. What do you want?" I grabbed onto the dresser to steady myself.
"I want your clues." I sighed, and pulled out my notebook. I tore out the pages that had clues.
"Now leave!" I said. The guy walked out. Mitch let me lean on him. I let go of the dresser, and he helped me over to the bed. I collapsed onto it. "Thanks." I said gasping.
"What about the clues?"
"I remember what I wrote." I said, and took out a pen, and wrote down the clues.
Clue 1: New shopping list
Clue 2: Minecraft still up.
Clue 3: Ty in Skype call with Adam
Clue 4: Skype and Minecraft still up at Adam's
I copied down the note just in case.
"So that's how much we have." Mitch said.
"Yeah. It's not much, but we have a lead." I sat up, and put on my shoes.
"Let's go." I winced when I stood up.
"Woah! We have a night here right?"
"Yeah."
"Well it's two a.m." I checked my watch to make sure he wasn't trying to pull the same stuff I did. That can only happen once.
"Fine. I'll sleep, but we're leaving once I wake up!" I said.
"Okay." Mitch said. I pulled the covers over my body, and dozed off.
"Seto!"
"Adam?!" I called.
"Seto!"
"Ty?!" I started running.
"Where are you?!"
"HELP!" They called in unison. There was a laugh. I looked around.
"What did you do with them!?"
Ty and Adam screamed. "What are you doing?!" The laughing continued. I sank to the ground as the laughing and screaming continued. "Stop it! Let them go!"
I bolted up. Mitch was sitting at the foot of my bed. I tried my best to hide how shaken up I was as I threw on my shoes.
"Let's go." I said, and stood up.
"Are you sure?" Mitch asked.
"Yes. We need to get to New York." He put a hand on my shoulder.
"You can't put your well-being on the back burner." You don't care. I wanted to snap back, but I knew that Mitch was right.
"I promise that I'm fine." I said. "I'll make sure to tell you if I'm not feeling well." Mitch seemed satisfied. I handed him my car keys. "Let's go."
"Hope you had a nice stay!" The receptionist said. When Mitch walked out she slid over a piece of paper. I opened it.
I have information call 983-8925
"Thanks." I said, and walked out the front door. "I think I have a lead."
"What is it?" Mitch asked.
"Well the receptionist said she had information, and gave me her phone number."
"Ooh la la. Seto has a girl friend!"
"I do not!" I retorted.
"And now he's blushing! Ah, love at first sight is a wonderful thing." I pulled my hoodie over my head. I'll have to call her when Mitch isn't around.
"Is Seto embarrassed?"
"Shut up, and drive!" I snapped. Mitch was silent after that.
You need to sleep Seto. Mitch is right about your health right now. You've only gotten one night where you fell asleep voluntarily.
I closed my eyes, but the only thing I could think of was the dream I had. Unlike other dreams I remembered it vividly like it actually happened. But it didn't. "How far are we from New York?" I asked.
"It's going to take a couple of days." I sighed. We have a week and a day. We'll get there. We'll save Adam and Ty.
"You should sleep. You're driving once I'm tired." Mitch said after about ten minutes of silence.
"I feel so special. I get to drive." I said. Mitch laughed, and I leaned my head against the seat belt.
"It is of course the highest of honors." I smiled, and drifted off to sleep.
"Seto," I opened my eyes.
"Huh?" Sleep still lingered.
"It's your turn to drive." I climbed out of the passenger's seat, and into the seat of ultimate control.
"Is the route still programmed in?" I asked.
"Yeah," I started up the car. Mitch's breathing had slowed to a steady pace. I looked at the clock
12:28 A.M.
He drove all day? No wonder he's tired.
I drove for about an hour until I needed gas. I parked at a gas station, and inserted the gas pump into my car. When I was about to get into my car there was a voice behind me.
"Seto!" I heard Mitch call. I turned around. There was a knife to his throat. There wasn't anyone to help, and he would be dead before the cops arrived.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"You still trying to find your friends?" Of course I am! I wanted to answer. That would be stupid.
"Of course not," I replied. "I got the message last time."
"Good, now leave." Mitch was shoved forward, nearly falling over. My hands were still shaking as I opened my car door. I started the car up, and sped out of there.
"Wasn't that nice?" Mitch asked.
"It sure was," I sighed. "And you had just woken up from a nap too!"
"What is up with all these goons?"
"They probably work for the person who kidnapped Ty and Adam."
"That's our best guess."
"That's our only guess."
"Which makes it the best!" I nodded.
"I guess." It was silent until I couldn't take it anymore. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this." I said.
"You didn't drag me into anything. I was the one who wanted to help."
"I know, but all this crap was because I had to stick my nose-"
"Into something important." Mitch interrupted.
"It was still pretty douchy."
"If anyone is a douch here, it's me." I was silent. I knew exactly what he was talking about, but I didn't want to admit it. I looked over at Mitch and saw that he had his hand over his mouth.
"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to sound oblivious.
"You know exactly what I mean!"
"I know, but I wanted to pretend." I said. "Pretend that it never happened." Mitch's gaze lowered. I hit a nerve.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. If I had I wouldn't have brought it up." I kept my eyes on the road.
"It's okay." I said. "It's all in the past.
Man this chapter started off depressing, lightened up for a paragraph or two, went back to depressing, then it became deep. I don't know how I write stuff like this... I just do I guess. So, until the tomorrow I guess. Later Legends!
