Chapter 3
“NICKY!!” Howie was yelling.
“Shut up!” a Ninja snapped, or who AJ was guessing
was a ninja.. It certainly wasn’t any
of them. Only the Ninjas had such a
limited vocabulary.
They were all quiet but only because they were making
out a faint noise, Nick’s whimpering.
“Oh God, they shot him.. They
shot Nicky...”
AJ felt his head strike the window hard yet again as
another person was thrown in the car with them. He cried out and fell over them, sprawled into AJ, Howie, and
Brian’s laps. AJ could feel his rapid
breathing with a slight wheeze, “Nicky?”
He continued to whimper. “He’s not shot, he’s not shot..” Brian was sighing in relief.
AJ then heard a sudden rush of air and then felt
it. He knew then that they were in some
kind of van and the storage space in the back was being opened. There was a soft thud and groan as the last
person was deposited into the vehicle, “Kevin?”
“Nick, Brian, AJ, Howie?” Kevin’s voice was
desperate.
“We’re all here..
I think,” Howie said softly, “Nicky, try to calm down.” Nick’s
whimpers were becoming sobs. The
doors of the van were opened and closed again quickly and AJ felt the depression
of others getting in the car.. There
had to be at least 5 of them, at least.
The car began to move. AJ rested
his pounding head against the window.
They were in a car with an unknown amount of ‘Ninjas’ with guns,
blindfolded, tied up, and heading towards God knows where... They were in
trouble. They were in serious
trouble...
