Ch. 11 On the move

I'm really trying to get this one finished, and it's working. Yay me!

Sorry I'm not very good at explaining time frames, in case anyone was wondering I was thinking that the news story that Will had caught was around 9 pm and his parents had discovered that he was missing maybe around 11pm. It is probably around 1 am now in the beginning of this chapter.

…

Minos drove for a few hours until he came to a service station down the dark highway he had been traveling. One of his associates was due to meet him here with a different vehicle in case anyone had a description of his car and he'd needed a new one. He had been listening to the radio while he drove; knowing that it wouldn't be long until the brat was discovered missing.

"Urgent news bulletin: around 11 pm it was discovered that 13 year old William Solace was missing from his home. There were no witnesses but the reports of family and neighbors lead police to believe that the case is related to the abduction of Nico di Angelo from two years ago…"

Minos was impressed that they had pieced it together so quickly.

"Officers found information on the computer of William Solace related to the case of Nico di Angelo, friends of the boy claim that they had seen the two boys together and thought that Will had gone to help his friend but fear that it lead to his disappearance."

"They sure pieced that together well." Minos said as he continued listening to the news bulletin.

"Upon arriving at the believed residence of Nico di Angelo and his captor, police found the home empty and have no leads to go on to locate them…"

Minos didn't even try to stop the cruel smile that was spreading across his face. "And they never will."

…

About fifteen minutes later there was a tap on the driver's side window and Minos peered out to find his contact standing next to the car. Minos rolled down the window so that he could talk with him. "See any cops on the way over?"

"A couple cars but none this far out yet, you should hurry though, they'll probably start searching further out soon." he looked at the sleeping boy in the passenger's seat. "So he hasn't woken up yet huh?"

Minos shook his head. "No, I made sure to up the dosage this time just to be sure."

His contact nodded. "You should be careful how much you use, it could do a lot of damage if you use too much." he looked in the back seat next. "So the other one is back there?"

Minos undid his seatbelt and got out of the car and opened the back door to start unloading the camping gear covering the other boy. "Yeah, damn brat could have done a lot of damage so I had to bring him along."

"I heard about him on the news, you know his father works at the same hospital as I do, I can't afford to get mixed up in this so hurry up, I'll take this car and dump it off somewhere else."

He took the camping gear and loaded it into the next vehicle and then brought Will over and placed him in the back seat, no longer covered up but wrapped in the blanket that had been over him before. "There's a backpack in the trunk, the kid had it with him, get rid of it in case there's anything in it that could help the cops." Minos hadn't bothered to search the bag but he didn't want to take any chances.

"Will do. The next supply is in the glove compartment for you, but I don't know how long it will last you since you've got two of them to use it on now."

But Minos just waved him off. "It's fine, I don't think I'll have to worry too much about it, as long as I have one the other will listen, neither one wants anything to happen to their dear friend after all. Children are so simple minded." Minos laughed harshly.

"I don't know, they sure did a good job of hiding things from you, you only found out about the other kid because of the surveillance system you put in recently. Who knows how long the kid has actually been coming and going, if you hadn't caught them sneaking out then they could have called the police and everything would be over."

Minos wasn't thrilled about the logic behind this assessment. "Shut up Thorn, you're not here to think, you're here to work." He snapped and his associate- Thorn took a step back.

"Right, right, just don't get me involved in this too far, remember you still need me to provide the drugs. I can't get them for you if the cops have me locked up." He held the keys for the new vehicle out for Minos to take, when he did Thorn went over to the passenger's side and brought Nico out and carried him over to the new car and set him in.

"No worries, there's no evidence that points towards your involvement in this so as long as your acting skills are up to par you should be able to go to work and no one would be the wiser, just make sure you don't slip up like the others, no one will be there to bail you out if you do, and if you try to bring me down with you…" he trailed off letting the unspoken threat hang in the air between them.

"Understood…" Thorn said as he went over to the old car and got in. Minos watched as he drove away down the deserted highway, he waited ten minutes before pulling away from the service station and going back down the road they had come from but turned down a side dirt road and headed on towards his cabin deep in the woods where no one would find them.
