Alfie POV
Me and Eddie went to see Amber's mum and dad. Not by choice. But my mum said it would be nice to comfort my girlfriends parents in their time of need. It felt weird because the last time we were on these grounds we were hauling away all their shit. Damn I want things normal again.
"Alfred! Eddison!" Mr. Rutter greeted us.
"Please sir, call me Alfie." I said. Then Mrs. Rutter came down stairs looking dreary. I went and hugged her. A smile lit up on her face and she hugged Eddie.
"How are you?" She said looking again quite delicate. I assured her I was okay and that she looked sad. She nodded and placed her hand on top of mine.
"Do you know anything about either daughter?" She questioned. I could tell she was about to cry so I reassured her that I knew nothing other than she was okay.
"Thank the God." She said, then began to cry again. I rubbed her hand and told her not to worry. Damn the guilt is killing me from the inside out. Eddie was playing with the hem of his shirt and looked when Mr. Rutter cupped his hand over his shoulder.
"When was the last time you saw my Peppermint Patty?" he said. Eddie stiffled a laugh. I grinned.
"At school sir. Before the break in." Eddie said with confidence.
"Oh." Mrs. Rutter sobber into her hankerchief. I really wanted to abort the mission right then and there. But Ambs was wanting me and Eddie to go through with it. I don't think that I can anymore. looked Eddie in the eye.
"Alright. Well I don't suspect you all." I could tell he was lying through his teeth. I nodded, pretending to aprove only for Mrs. Rutter's sake. Inside I could have ran 10 miles down the road, just to get away from him. No telling what he is going to do.
Eddie POV
The interogation was running smoothly according to me. They suspect we were innocent and that's all that really matters. Mrs. Rutter is a hot mess. If we hadn't been so deep, I would've confessed right there. I could tell Alfie was thinking the same damn thing. All he wanted was Amber's parents's approval. And I did too. Shit I don't even know why we're in this fucking club anymore. 'Peppermint Patty' is worth way more too me now. She isn't snotty, spoiled, or brat like. She is witty, fun and free spirited, just like I like it.
"Sir, I would never disrespect you like that. That would be plain heartless." I couldn't believe I told that lie. That is going to come back and haunt me. I had completely lost their trust. Alfred looked at me like I had slapped him. I gave him my 'Sorry I had to lie so bad but I wanted him to like me and you so much so they will invite us in the family. I'm Sooo sorry Alfs.' look and he nodded.
Mrs. Rutter sniffled and look as if she would faint. She then began to leave the room.
"Nice talking with you boys." She sounded weak and frail. Like a gust of wind could blow her over.
"Hope we speak again soon Mrs. Rutter!" Alfred called behind her. I mangaed to say;
"Very soon Misses." I stammered. She managed a weak grin and waved as she walked up stairs.
"What have you done with my daughters?" Mr. Rutter quickly changed tones. I almost jumped up. Alfie did.
"Waiting for an answer" he snapped. We're in too deep. And there was no easy way out. So lying again saved and haunted my ass.
"How am I suppose to know? I miss her just as much as you do! Why in hell would I kidnap her!" I snapped back. Alfie was scared as fuck.
"Sir. We're sorry! We-" Alfie started. I pinched his leg fat. He grunted.
"We miss them deeply and want to avenge anyone who stole them!" Good save.
"You're safe. For now. You better be glad my hysterical wife is upset or I would have your beaty little asses. The detective told me about your little 'fucking'. You just want their bodies and inheritance! Leave them alone and I don't want you on our grounds ever again. Leave my pressence!" Mr. Rutter was red with fury and we scampered away. We ran and jumped in my Rolls Royce. I backed out and we drove. We said no words. If he was that mad about that. Imagine what he'd say about our evil little plan going on. Thank God for Mrs. Rutter.
