I'm worried now. Kim hasn't said a word. She's not even made a sound since Frank pulled out his gun, and now it seemed like she was winding Frank up regardless of whether Kim was doing it on purpose or not. Now he was holding the loaded gun up to Kim's head and he was threatening to use it, and we all believe him, we'd be foolish not to especially after his lovely demonstration before when he shattered that window.
My throat was dry. I can't even imagine what Kim feels like right now since Frank is sat on a table directly in front of us pointing the gun towards Kim. If it was me i would be in pieces but Kim is sat there with a blank expression, no emotion or at least if she was feeling anything she wasn't letting it show.
Frank snorted "What's the matter Kim? Has little miss chatterbox finally lost all words to say? Come on Kim this isn't like you. You normally have an answer for everything or some irritating miss know it all speech that gets on everybody's nerves."
And there it was: the first sign of emotion from Kim, tears were forming in her eyes but i could tell she was fighting to stop them from showing. "You want to talk? Then let's talk" She said "Tell us what do you want?"
He laughed again "That is so funny" He passed the gun from one hand to the other and then back again. "I think i have made that quite clear what i want Kim or weren't you listening?"
She didn't say another word, all she did was keep her eyes pinned on Frank and more importantly that gun. How did Frank get hold of a gun in the first place?
I wondered what Kim was thinking. She was good at disguising how she truly felt, especially if she didn't want to seem weak. She is in the most danger right now and Frank is to blame. God knows what he is thinking right now.
"Frank please tell us what do you want?" Kim repeated.
He shook his head "I have already told you plenty of times what i want but each time you don't seem to listen" He stood up and squeezed Kim's face between his left hand. "I am getting bored now"
"Let us go then!" I pleaded "you can make this stop!"
"Let us go and this can all be over!" Julie cried.
"No!" He roared, knocking over the table behind him with a big bang. He paced up and down again brandishing the gun as if he thought that we might forget about it if we didn't see it. As if we would after we saw the damage it did to the window. "You are not listening! No-one is listening to me!"
He pointed the gun at some unsuspecting boy and shot him in the chest.
"I will shoot you, i will shoot all of you!"
"Frank what do you want to achieve?" Julie asked, she looked really pale and her breathing didn't sound normal. Julie has asthma a very mild form of asthma which doesn't appear much but we all still know it can at any time.
"Julie do you have your inhaler?" I whispered.
She shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks "its in my locker"
Kim swallowed hard "I am happy to talk Frank but let Julie go to her locker and get her inhaler do you want to be responsible for her death too?"
"Enough is enough" He said, he was getting more annoyed now but we had to try convince him.
"Frank let Julie go. Let us all go" I pleaded.
He grabbed Kim by her hair and flung her against the wall "I said enough is enough"
Kim was dazed, clutching her head. She mouthed "I'm okay"
"Frank, why do you need all the hostages?" I asked. "You can at least let some go as a peace offering"
What does he expect to happen? He is nuts. There is thirty of us trapped in here with him and those are the people i could see before this started. Maybe he thinks that he can walk out of this a free man, but realistically he would be arrested.
He shook his head. He didn't say another word. I think he was concentrating i have never seen him like this before. Maybe he is thinking about what is going to happen when he lets us go. Hopefully he will let us go for Julie's sake. For Julie's sake if he agrees to let just one person go I would pick Julie and i am sure that everyone else in here would choose her too. Exactly how long can a person suffering from asthma last without the inhaler before they die? Hopefully she can hold on with the rest of us.
"Please Frank i will do anything you want just let Julie go" Kim begged.
Frank dragged Kim up from the floor "I love you, i will always love you and you love me"
Kim laughed. "Sorry Frank but i never have liked you"
Frank's face completely changed into the face that you normally see on a psychotic killer or in a horror film or something like that. He held the gun up against Kim's leg and bang.
Kim's wide eyes will haunt me for the rest of our lives.
