Kim's jaw seemed to drop all the way to the floor with surprise. She turned to look at Max but his eyes were focused intently on Mr. Drake.
"What do you want?"asked Kim trying to mask her fear, but it wasn't working too well.
"Me?" asked Mr. Drake with a chuckle. "I don't want anything,"he responded, "It's what I need that I'm here about." As his last words filled the air the three men from the restaurant which included Mo, stepped up behind him. "We don't have to make this difficult now do we?"asked Mr. Drake. They started to come closer to Kim and Max. Max managed to stand on his feet and put Kim behind him.
"You stay away from her,"demanded Max. Kim noticed Max was struggling to keep upright but managing not to let the others see it. Kim held on to Max tightly wishing they were ten thousand miles away.
"Come,come Max,"said drake, "We're all friends here." Max just shook his head and held Kim closer. "I really wish we didn't have to do it this way,"sighed Mr. Drake. With that he snapped his fingers and Mo and his crew rushed forward and grabbed max, holding a shiny 38 to his head. It felt as though Kim's heart had been torn out seeing Max in danger. "Now are we all ready to be rational?"asked Drake, "Hmmm?" Kim stood before him with all the anger she could muster. Kim looked him in the eye and asked one final time,
"What do you want?" Drake smiled at her mischievously before answering.
"Well, since you brought it up,"he said still smiling, "I want the password to the program your father made for us." Kim was puzzled. For she knew there was a program but she didn't know what it was for or the password to it.
"I don't know," she answered honestly. She could see on all of their faces that they didn't believe her.
"What do you mean you don't know?! yelled Mo, " Of course you know!"
"Easy Mo," said Drake, "Maybe all she needs is a little some persuasion." "Of course they are better places than this for interrogations ," he said slyly. Kim didn't know where that place was, but, she didn't want to find out. Unfortunately she had a gun pointed at her chest and they still held a 38 to Max's head. "Mo,"commanded Drake, "You know where to take him." They started to drag Max away when Kim leaped forward.
"No!!" she screamed. She tried to free Max but her attempts were futile. She could feel Tom grab a hold of her stopping her in her tracks. "Come on now," said Tom. "I don't want to have to shoot you,"he whispered, "And I suggest you cooperate or your friend won't be alive much longer." she looked at Max. At his dark eyes and kind face and she fell silent and stopped struggling. "Good girl,"said Tom.
"No!," yelled Max as they started leading Kim away. Max was unable to do or say anything else, for that little outburst caused him to get hit on the head with the butt of the gun. The whole way there Kim hung her head and silently cried. She dried her tears before they could see them. They reached Drake's car and she was forced inside. Now she was left alone with him. He stared at her and she glared back. No amount of acting could hide the disdain she felt for him. But, then she thought of Max and realized doing something to make her captors angry wouldn't help him. So she remained silent the whole way.
