Sequel: Chapter 4: A Stranger at the Door

Kevin's PoV:

"Umm, yes. Who are you?"

"I'm Ben. Ben Pelzer,"

"Are Rob and Georgette supposed to know you?"

"No, but Kevin is,"

"Umm… Kevin?" Leslie calls me. I run over to the door, and I see Ben Pelzer! I thought it was his voice I heard! "Do you know this man?"

"Yes. He's the one that saved my life! How are you doing, sir?" I shake hands with him. "How'd you find me?" I ask, a little creeped out. I'm shocked that he's here… I never expected him to come here...

"The police." I raise an eyebrow. "I've been keeping in contact with the police about you. I was concerned for your well-being. You're looking pretty good, though,"

"So, you came here to check on me?"

"Yes. I heard about the call to the police here in New York from the Rob and Georgette McCallister residence. There had to be a relation between Rob, Georgette, and you, Kevin, so I had to find out. When I did, I found out it was about you,"

"That's very kind of you, Ben. I'm fine, though,"

"I heard you had a possible encounter with Mr. Lime again," Again, I feel uneasy, when I hear that name.

"Yes. I'm pretty sure I quickly ran into him at Times Square last night," I say, a ball forming in my throat.

"If I can be of any assistance, Kevin, and Miss…"

"McCallister," She holds out her hand. "Leslie McCallister. I'm Kevin's Aunt. Since you saved Kevin's life the first time, if you could be of assistance, that'd be great! It'd make Kevin feel so much better, too. I thank you for what you did the first time."

Ben smiles and says, "It's no problem. I was just doing my duty as a citizen. I was concerned for Kevin, so I kept in contact with the police,"

"Are they looking for Harry?" I ask.

"They're trying to. They know he's here in New York," I gasp. I knew I wasn't crazy! I start shaking out of fear. "Hey, buddy, it's OK. He won't get you, OK?" Ben pats my back.

"Do you promise?"

"I promise. Don't be scared, OK?"

"I can't help but be scared… That monster tortured me…"

"Hey, relax, OK?" Ben turns to Aunt Leslie and says, "Mrs. McCallister, I can assure you that your nephew will be OK,"

"I know that you'll help the police in any way you can, Mr. Pelzer," Aunt Leslie smiles. He smiles back at her. "Would you like to stay for lunch? My brother-in-law, Rob, is in the kitchen, making lunch for everyone, when they get back with Kevin's surprise."

"Thanks. That's very kind of you,"

"Good. You just relax in the living room and catch up with Kevin, and I'll go hurry up Rob," She then heads to the kitchen. She's always so cheery…

I face the direction that Aunt Leslie went, and when I turn around to face Ben, something, like a rag, is placed over my mouth. I squeal out of fear and struggle, as Ben hangs onto my arm. I slip into unconsciousness…

Leslie's PoV:

I head back into the living room, after explaining to Rob who was at the door. I don't see Kevin or Mr. Pelzer anywhere… Maybe they went upstairs or outside? I call out, "Mr. Pelzer?! Kevin?!" I receive no answer. I try again, "Mr. Pelzer?! Kevin?!" Still, no answer. I run outside to see if they went outside for whatever reason and I holler again, "Mr. Pelzer?! Kevin?!" I don't receive any answer out here, either… I slam the door, in a panic. "Mr. Pelzer?! Kevin?!"

Rob rushes into the room. "Leslie, what's wrong?" he asks. He's worried.

"Why didn't you come out here sooner?! I can't find Kevin or Mr. Pelzer anywhere!"

"Sorry. And, what do you mean, you can't find them?!"

"I don't know! They disappeared! Look outside, while I look upstairs…" Rob rushes outside, while I rush upstairs… Oh no… Not again…

Kevin's PoV:

I wake up, and I feel that I'm moving. I think I'm in a moving vehicle… I have a terrible headache… What happened?... I try to speak, but I then realize that there's something over my mouth, preventing me from speaking… It feels like duct tape… Oh no… Bad memories… Horrible memories… Harry had placed duct tape over my mouth before… I try to take it off, but I then realize my left arm is incapable of moving. I look up to see my arm up and handcuffed to the headrest of the seat in front of me. My arm is outstretched, and I'm laying down in the backseat of this vehicle… Where is Harry taking me now?...

"We're almost there, kiddo," That's not Harry's voice… That's… Ben's voice…

Kate's PoV:

We enter the door, and Leslie and Rob run up to us, panicked. Leslie is crying. "Leslie, what's wrong?" I ask, hugging her. The others set down their groceries.

"It's… It's Kevin…"

"What?... What about Kevin?..." Leslie doesn't answer. I grab onto her shoulders, firmly, and ask, sternly and scared, "What about Kevin?! Where's my baby?!"

"He took him…"

"Who?! Who took him?! Harry?!" She shakes her head "no". "Who?!"

"Ben Pelzer…"

"Ben Pelzer? He's the one that saved Kevin's life!"

"I know, but they left without any sign…"

"Did you call the police?!"

"Of course we did… Not long before you guys came back," Rob answers.

"Oh, Peter! My baby's gone again!" I start freaking out and hyperventilating. Peter hugs me, as I try to control my tears… Why does everybody want Kevin?! Why can't they just leave him alone?! He's just a little boy!

"I'm sorry… It's all my fault… If I would've known…"

"Leslie, it's not your fault. You couldn't have known…" Frank hugs Leslie, trying to comfort her.

Rob says, "The police should arrive here shortly…"

Kevin's PoV:

Is this a joke? A dream? Why is the man, who saved my life, kidnapping me?! He can see in the mirror, me looking at him, with fear. "Don't look at me like that, bud," How else am I supposed to look at you, when I trusted you?! Why are you doing this?! You saved my life before! I so badly want to ask all these questions, but I can't! "We'll be there shortly, so then I can untie you. OK?" I nod. Why's he being so nice to me, if he's kidnapping me? He must be someone like Marv... I hate to say this, but I actually do miss Marv... He tried to save me... Sadly, Marv's in prison... What's going to happen to me?! I just got saved from being kidnapped a couple weeks ago! Why's this have to happen to me again?! I'm finally reunited with my family, and I'm taken away from them again… Will I ever see my family again?! I'm so scared… I've been scarred and having nightmares… Why's this have to happen again?! Why?! I trusted Ben! I trusted him… I face the other way, while I let the tears escape from my eyes...

To be Continued…
