Kidnapped

Chapter 15: Georges Escape

George POV

Wednesday was finally here. My whole body ached and I felt sick to my stomach but today was the day. I had thought out everything that I needed to do.

I had no idea how much longer I would be allowed to go to this school before he would pull me out so I had to do it now. I might not ever get a chance like this again.

He wanted my file so that's what I got him. It was only a matter of time before he pulled me from the school and I would be back to having no possible escape.

I had 2 hours before I met with Karl and I had to keep myself together. For my plan to work I couldn't mess up. I couldn't let my pain be the reason I couldn't get away.

I ditched my first class to meet with Callahan in the toilets. He knew my secret. I didn't exactly tell him, he could just sense something about me. At least that's what he told me. He doesn't talk so I knew I was safe if he knew.

I had asked him to help cut a chip out of me. There was a tracker put inside the top half of my arm and if I had any chance of getting away he couldn't know where I was.

Callahan felt around my arm until he felt the chip inside me, it was about the size of a tictac. He used a knife as I bit down on my hand, trying not to make any sound from the pain.

He managed to get it out, leaving blood all over his hands and my clothes. I don't bother cleaning it and just cover it back up with my hoodie. He hands me a piece of paper.

I booked you a hotel for 2 days, Its near the big shop about 40 minutes away

"Thank you for this Calla, take the tracker into your next class and leave it there" I whisper to him and he nods. That's when I ignore all my body pains and run. I run as fast as I can out of there.

As I run I see Karl standing at the lamp post. I ignore his questions and grab him by the sleeve of his hoodie, making him run with me. I wasn't chancing standing anywhere near the school.

Karl POV

I laid on the hotel bed, looking up at the ceiling as I try and collect my thoughts. I was still trying to figure out what I was feeling but I'm pretty sure the main one was shock.

I still hadn't stopped shaking and had no idea what to do or what to even say to him. I didn't even know what he wanted to do.

That's when my phone jumped me out of my thoughts and I sat up, looking at who was calling me.

"Nick is calling me, what do you want me to tell them?" I ask and George shrugs. "George do you want me to tell them or not?" I ask and he goes quiet, the call ends and he rings again.

"George you're stressing me out its up to you" "I- uh" He squeaks, then clearing his voice "Not yet, I just need to feel safe first" He says and I motion for him to be quiet as I answer the call.

"Nick hey" I say, trying to sound normal "Karl where are you, we've waited all day to see you" He asks. "Oh I-uh went home, didn't feel good. In fact I might stay home for a couple days" I say and his tone changes.

"We can stop by your house if you'd like? we can ditch the rest of school" "NO- I mean no, It's okay I'm good here- by myself" I say, basically face palming at my lying skills.

"Uh- okay?" He says in a confused voice "BYE NICK" I end the call rapidly and actually face palm. "Your shit at lying" George adds and I flop back down on the bed.

"Neither of us have clothes apart from what we're wearing, we don't have food or drink so what are we doing about that?" I ask "We could always get Callahan" He says and I look at him "He knows?"

"Yeah, It's hard to get away with anything when you're with Callahan. That man smells bullshit coming from a mile away" I giggle, knowing how true that is.

"I could always go to my house and-" "No Karl, I got this hotel room so you didn't have to go home either" I faintly smile over to him "Ive missed you...What happened?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"Im not ready to talk, like I said I just want to be safe before anything else happens" he says, not taking his eyes from the floor he was sitting on. "Safe from what?" I ask and he sighs almost inaudible.

"Just 2 days Karl, I just need to be in this hotel, collect my thoughts so I can prepare myself for what's to come" he says, a slight shake to his voice.

I nod and smile, tears threatening to fall down my face again. "How have you guys been doing?" he asks, wiping his eyes. "Not good without you, we struggled to do anything without thinking about you. We thought you were dead..And I still feel like I'm dreaming right now"

He smiles before looking back over to me. "You need to go to school tomorrow, for your own protection and you need to get us some food and clothes from Callahan" he says and I nod, pulling out my phone and finding Callahans number.

Karl: Hey Callahan, Im with George right now

Karl: Can you meet me tomorrow morning with some stuff

Callahan: Sure, what do you guys need?

Karl: Food, Water and Clothes that'll last us a couple nights

Callahan: You got it, I'll put it into a backpack and meet you out front

Karl: Thank you

Callahan: Look after each other :)
