Kidnapped

Chapter 41

RYANS POV

We hop into his car and drive off. I lead him to the road where I was supposed to meet up with my mom.
I enter the the gas station. "What time is it?" I ask the cashier. He looks at his watch. "It's a quarter to 11:00am." Worry caused my heart to ache. What if it's too late. She said she would leave at 8:00 and it takes a few hours to get here. Maybe it's. It too late. She could be almost here.
I wait by the door.
I started to daydream at the spot.
About 10 minutes later the mean manager said "hey listen kid, I know your trying to find your mommy or what ever, but if your not going to buy anything then you gotta wait out side. Okey?" "What if I do want to buy something?" I ask. "Well, do you have any money?" I glare at him and walk outside.
I press my back to the wall and slide down into a sitting position.
It's so cold. Like 10 below out here(Fahrenheit) and he wants me to sit here. I'm hungry. I sigh. I put my arm around my knees.
❄️❄️❄️
About fifteen minutes later a man taps on my shoulder. He had a brown hat and a really dark blue button up coat. He hands me a ten dollar bill. And walks away.he turns a corner and I follow him "Wait, sir I'm not-" when I get to the corner he is not there. He disappeared. Strange.
All of a sudden I remembered something.
"if your not going to buy anything then you gotta wait out side. Okey?"
Okey.
I go back into the gas station. "Hey I though I told you if-" I cut him off my showing him the 10. He sighs.
I make sure to take my time looking for what I want. I pick out some string cheese. And an apple. But then I see donuts. Num num. I pay for my stuff and leave.I ask for the time again. It's 11:45. Maybe she is not coming after all.
I was wrong. My mother walks in.
