Amber pov
I woke up by myself. I had fallen asleep in Alfie's arms. Alfie had taken me in here and I was in my comfterable sheets which had been "stolen". There was a note.
Dear Ambs,
Sorry I had to go. I had to go back to London before it got too suspicious. We'll be back on the weekend. We left you with food and two hundred pounds. Just want to make sure you didn't worry. Call me tonight. I love you Ambs.
-Alfie.
At least he left a note. I got out of bed and wandered into the kitchen. I made a bowl of cereal and sat down in the living room.
"Amber! Come here!" I heard Patricia yell. I put down my cereal and went into the bedroom.
"What is it?" I asked. She turned up the TV. The televeision blurbed;
"Someone is out to get the Rutter's. 1st a property break in, then a bank robbery and then the kidnapping of the Rutter girls Patricia and Amber. What's next?" Then it cut to a interview with Daddy and Mum.
"The worst of all of the crimes, is the kidnapping of my darlings. I love them with all my heart and they mean more to me than any material things." Daddy started.
"What sick person would take someone's children?" Mum yelled almost inaudible through her tears. She gripped another tissue. Daddy rubbed her back and she sobbed some more.
"Do you have any enemies that would want to hurt your family?" The annoucer asked.
"Hell no-o. Fabian has the biggest heart he never had an enemy. He would travel the world for anyone. Especially the girls." Mum answered again barely audible.
"I never felt the need to threaten or harm a soul." Daddy answered.
"When did you know they had been kidnapped?" someone asked.
"They said they were going out to dinner and we know they would have came back. We called the resturaunt and they said they hadn't seen them. When I heard about the bank robbery I went to check it out and saw the security tape. They were hostages in the robbery and got taken." daddy said. Mum choked up more.
"See more tonight at 8:30. Back to you Tom." the announcer said. Patricia and I shared a look.
"I'm feeling bad about this." Patricia said.
"Me too." she said.
Alfie pov
I'm freaking out. I can't really concentrate on anything. I've been getting snapped at by teachers for spacing out.
"Alfie!" a voice said. I turned around. Mara. She came up to me.
"We have a problem. The girls 'daddy' has sent out the best people to find the criminals. Their searching the campus and are going to find everything we stole." she said in a hushed tone. I started sweating.
"Um let's just get it out." I said.
"And hide it where?" she asked.
"We'll take it too the safe house. The girls can watch over it." I said.
"How are we going to sneak away from school?" she asked.
"Skip and then we get back before the cops do." I said. She nodded and grabbed my arm. She dragged me outside. Mick and Eddie were already loading up the stuff from the aboanded building. Eddie threw the duffel bags at me.
"Don't do that! What if the bag breaks?" I asked.
"Just load it up!" he exclaimed. We loaded it all into the SUV. Me and Eddie set off once again to Liverpool, England.
"Dude chill. You look like you're about to shit yourself." Eddie joked. He probably was right.
"I need to make sure Amber's okay. This is really stressing me the hell out. No joke." I said. My heart was skipping beats. I kept drying my hands on my pants.
"There fine, Patricia's been texting me all day." Eddie's words calmed me down. Wheww. In. Out. In. Out. I hope he was right. This is getting out of hand. We got to the safe house. The door opened. I heard Amber scream but relaxed when she noticed it was us.
"Babe, I thought you wouldn't be here until later." she said.
"We need to hide the stuff here." I said taking in the duffel bags full of money. Eddie had the brats, Patricia, Amber and their parents things. When we finished unloading everything I kissed Amber.
"I'll see you later but we need to get back before we get in trouble." I said making sure my gloves were on tight. My DNA won't touch this stuff. We finally got back to school. We ran out of the car and back to class. No one was in my class. I went back into the hallway.
"Why are you not in the auditorium?" a voice asked. I turned. A teacher.
"Bathroom sorry." I said.
"Well come they want to see if they can find any of the Rutter girls enemies or friends." she said. Oh god. I went into the auditorium and sat in the back. Everyone looked nervous. Police guys came in. They took people in for questioning one by one. It was my turn. Damn I'm nervous. I sat in the uncomfterable seat.
"Do you know the Rutter girls?" she asked.
"Yes, their both very nice." I said.
"Is their anyone who would want to take down the Rutter family?" she asked.
"No." I lied.
"I don't believe you." she said. Oh shit.
"W-what?" I stuttered.
"You have a close relationship with one of the girls don't you?" she asked. Oh thank god.
"I'm dating Amber." I admitted.
"This must be hard for you." she said. She had no idea.
"Yea. I really miss her." I said looking down. I actually kind of do. She put a hand on my shoulder.
"You can go." she said. I nodded. Thank god. I left the room and breathed a sigh of relief. I got away with it again.
