So heres chapter 6.
Hope you all enjoy it.
Kevin's palms were sweating as starred at the name appearing on the screen. It was really Joe? How could he be calling. He had an uneasy feeling about everything, but decided to just answer it. He feared if he didn't, Joe would hang up.
"H-hello," Kevin's voice shook with uncertainty.
"How ya doin?" Cane's voice made Kevin's blood run cold. He gripped the phone with to hands, trying to stop himself from shaking.
"What did you do with my brother?"
"Nothing to much...yet," Kevin could just picture the sadistic smile that must be placed on Cane's face. He didn't want to imagine his brother with this sicko.
"You-you better not touch him!" No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sound firm, he just sounded like he felt. Worried and scared.
"What are ya gonna do? Huh big brother? You can't touch me."
The only thing that kept Kevin from responding was the fact that Cane was right. And hurt to admit.
"Yeah, thats what I thought."
"What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Cane laughed. "Well Kevin, I want a lot of things. I want my daughter back, I want the police to leave me the hell alone, but what I want right now, well, I want your little brother. Dead."
"Forget it you son of a bitch! Your not touching my brother," Joe yelled from the background. Kevin heard a loud thud, and a grunt of pain. He winced, knowing they just hit his brother.
"Ya know Kevin," Cane told said to him. "Your parents did a lousy job of teaching this brother of yours manners. He's got some mouth on him."
"What do you expect you jackass?! You tied me to a frickin chair and you wanna kill my little brother!"
Kevin heard a louder thud this time, followed by another, and to his horror another.
"Stop it!" Kevin yelled. "Just please, stop it!"
"Okay," Cane answered. "Only cause you asked nicely."
Kevin sighed, relieved.
"Now, back to what we were talking about before," Kevin didn't want to think about that.
"Your not getting near Nick, I can promise you that."
"Well I think you'l change your mind," Cane said. "I'll give you Joe back, if you give me Nick in return."
"No!" Kevin heard Joe scream instantly.
"Let me talk to my brother and I'll get back to you on that," Kevin said, hating this situation moer than anything in the world.
"Fine. You've got 45 seconds."
The line was silent for a moment, then, "Kevin?"
"Joe! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Kev, you can't do this. You know you can't."
Kevin felt his eyes start to water.
"What am I supposed to do Joe? I can't choose between you and Nick."
"You don;t have to man. I picked for you," Joe said sadley. "He's our little brother."
"But your MY little brother," Kevin said. "I'm supposed to look out for you."
"If you trade me for Nick, I'll never forgive you," Joe didn'y want to sound mean but he needed to get the point across that this was how it had to be.
"I know," Kevin said, his voice barely above a whisper. "We're gonna keep looking for you. Don't do anything stupid."
Joe smiled slightly, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell I love him."
"I'm sorry Joe, but we will find you. I promise."
"I know you will."
His brothers voice was heard no more, for it was replaced with a colder, meaner one.
"Times up for your little discussion. What's it gonna be?"
It broke Kevin's heart as he closed his eyes, "No." It was the firmest he'd sounded all night.
"You'll regret it, and so will your brother." With that the line went dead and so did Kevin's legs.
He crumpled to the ground beside the bed, his head in his hands and cried. He couldn't believe this was happening.
After what seemed like hours Kevin finally found the strength to get up. He slowly walked out his room, down the hall, and twisted the doorknob to his parents room. Everyone looked up when he came in. Kevin just stared at the ground, his hands shaking.
"Kevin? Sweetie, what's the matter?" His mother got up from the bed where she was silently stroking Nick's hair. His father also stood. Nick looked at his brother, waiting to see what he would say. He had a bad feeling.
Kevin looked up. He looked at his mom, then his dad, then finally at Nick.
"I think I just killed Joe," he said. New tears ran down his cheecks.
"What are you talking about?" Nick stood up. Terrified, not knowing what Kevin was saying.
"They called me, Cane, he-he wanted to trade Nick for Joe," he explained silently. "I talked to Joe, and he told me no."
Nick sat back down, it hurt to hear this news.
"I couldn't do it," Kevin said shaking his head. "I just couldn't. Joe didn't want me to either."
His dad noticed how much this was hurting his son. He walked over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. His mom stood ringing her hands.
"Did he sound okay?" she whispered.
Kevin nodded, "He said he was fine." He decided to leave out the part about him hearing them hit Joe multiple times. It made him shudder to know they were hurting his brother.
"Nick," he said. "Joe, he wanted me to tell you he loved you."
Nick's face crumpled and tears fell from his eyes. He shook his head, got up and ran from the room.
"Nick!" his mother yelled. But Nick just slammed the door.
Joe could taste the bitter, metalic taste in his mouth. He tried to spit it out but the taste stayed.
"You dumb, you know that?" Cane said to him after he hung up the phone.
Joe just shrugged, "Depends on how ya look at it."
"No your dumb, we're gonna get your brother either way. This way you could of gone home."
Joe just glarred at him.
"I'm going out, Blake," Cane told his son. I'll be back in an hour. If the kid gets to mouthy feel free to have some fun."
Blake smiled and nodded. Joe gulped, and Cane slammed the door.
Well there's chapter 6. My fastest update ever.
