Chapter 5

 

                Brian silently obeyed as Brendon slipped away from him to open the trunk of the car, “Get in.” He leveled the gun at Brian’s chest as if he was daring him to hesitate.  Brian swallowed hard, he felt like he could be sick..  But he didn’t dare, he was too scared.  He made his way to the trunk and crawled in.  He stared up into the face of his abductor trying to make eye contact, but when he did he wished he hadn’t.  Brendon’s eyes were filled with pure excitement and exhilaration, this was fun to him!  Brian cast his eyes past Brendon as he saw the pale face of his best friend hoovering over the trunk,  Nick’s voice was amazingly loud and clear, “You’re going to try to fit us both in that?”

                “We’re not going to try kiddo, we are going to fit you in that!  Now get in!” Brian winced and cried out as Nick was shoved face first into the trunk, falling on top of Brian.  Brian tried to roll out from under him, Nick tried to untangle himself.  All through this Brendon was laughing.  It was Zalia who finally came and took control.  She helped Nick and Brian sort out their legs.  They lay on their sides with their knees folded under them.  Brian felt bad for Nick who had much longer legs than his.  Brendon grinned at them both overheard, “Alright, now you two play nice.” With that he shut the trunk and Brian and Nick were encased in total darkness.
