Melissa's POV:
I am in deep shit right now. How do I know this? Well, one look at Keith's face and I know we are so much trouble if we say the wrong thing. His face looks like that of a deer caught in headlights, much like what I imagined the deer my choir teacher ran over looked like. But now is not the right time to be thinking of the mass killings my teacher has made to the deer population. They probably have wanted signs posted around the forest with Mr. Harold's (my choir teacher) face on it, to warn Bambi and all his little woodland creature friends about the horrible man who killed their loved ones. Just the thought of the wanted signs makes me laugh out loud uncontrollably.
Everyone stares at me, and the ogre holding me tightened his grip on my arm.
Did I mention there's a gun pressed against my head?
I so much rather be a deer right now. Being run over by Mr. Harold seems much more appealing, because at least he runs them over accidentally. While this man will probably kill me on purpose.
Keith stares at me, and I swear he's trying to send telepathic messages through my mind asking me what the hell do I think I'm doing.
I send him one back telling him I have no clue since I'm probably hysterical as I'm moments away from dying.
Johnny and Delilah burst out laughing at, apparently my facial expression, and burly man looks at me. He catches my face and anger flashes in his eyes.
"Are you mocking me?" scary guy asks in his deep, scratchy bass voice.
OK, I really have to ask this guy his name, because I'm running out of adjectives to call him in my head.
I have an idea.
"OK, so I know you'll probably be flattered by this, but may I know your name, since I am running out of adjectives to describe you scary man." I ask sweetly, batting my eyelashes for full effect.
Gun guy stares at me and attempts to hide his laughter. It failed.
"Keith, I can see why you want to keep her around. She's a walking box of entertainment. Not just wit, if you know what I mean," he told Keith as he winked at me.
I think I'm tasting my breakfast, right about now. Keith's face is a mixture of anger and pain. I noticed how he is being held, and my heart went out to him.
"You didn't dare," he snarled.
"Oh, but I did. And since this chick thinks she is quite the comedian, then I will be a joker too," he said tightening his hold on me once again.
So, my idea probably did not work in my favor. And, wait a second, did this guy call me a chick?
"Hold the phone, buddy, hold the phone. Did you just call me 'chick'? I'll have you know that I am not a 'chick'. I'm a girl, women, lady, lass, gal, whatever comes to mind, but not a 'chick'. Did your mom teach you manners? Of course not, she probably spent her nights-"
"Melissa, shut the fuck up. You are not helping the situation." Keith yelled. I looked for guidance in Delilah and Johnny, they were red, trying to contain their laughter.
At least some people think I'm funny, I huffed in my mind.
"All right, stop with the jokes, tell me the truth and no one gets hurt. I have place to be, people to kill," then he looked at me, "chicks to f*ck."
"OK, here's how it happened…"
Ten minutes later I found myself squished with Johnny in the back of Delilah's car thinking I'm either extremely lucky, or Keith and Johnny's boss is an extreme idiot.
Keith fabricated some unbelievable lie involving a unicorn, dragon, and amazing, out-of-this world sex, and how his dreams and fantasies had come true, and he couldn't bare to let me go.
All right, he didn't say that, but I rather think their boss is stupid, rather than think he let us go while apologizing. In reality, Keith had begun to explain his story, when the dude's phone rang, and he answered me. I had heard some yelling from the other line and the man holding a gun to my head, looked appalled and scared. He let go of me, and snapped his fingers towards the men who held Delilah, Johnny and Keith captive. I quickly ran behind Keith, and he hugged me. Even though he hadn't brought up the pretense of us "dating," I wanted to keep the act just in case we needed to bring that book out.
Anyways, their boss apologized profusely, after ending the very mysterious phone call, and excused himself. He told Keith that I was free from danger, and he should not worry about his girlfriend being in danger. He lectured him, though, in saying that he should keep an eye out on where he leaves me. To which Keith replied something unintelligible that had everyone laughing. except me. So I elbowed him in the gut, to which everyone in the room found hilarious, except him, because he glared. And is now giving me the silent treatment, well it's not like Johnny, Delilah, and me care since we are just carrying along merrily without his moody ass.
Another good thing that happened from this near-death experience: I found out their boss's name. Before he let us go, he recited it to me with much fervor.
Sheldon.
A lot of questions were answered, honestly. It took my hardest not crack up because of that geeky name. It's no wonder he prefers 'Boss', to which I shall call him, unless I encounter him again and want to tease him.
The good news about being free from danger?
I don't have to stay with Keith for a week anymore. I get to go home, but first I'm going to visit my parents so Aunt Cath doesn't seem too suspicious of me, plus I really need to talk to them and figure out how to get them out of jail.
Johnny, Delilah, and I were in the middle of playing a game of 'I Spy,' which Johnny sucks at, when my phone buzzed. It was Dana.
"Where the hell are you? Your aunt is a crying mess here, she went to visit your parents, and they said you never went there, plus you're going away for a week? What is wrong with you? And with Keith f*cking Davy?"
"Dana, how did you know I was, or am with Keith at the moment?"
Her rant had me extremely guilty for lying to my aunt, but I was really concerned about how she knew who I was with.
"Some extremely burly looking guy, with the funniest name, Edwin, let me tell you, it did not match his appearance at all, was looking for you. He looked like a man version of you, which does not bode well for either of you. Are you related or something? He also told me something about you running off with Keith. He said to tell you to watch out,"
I was about to ask her for a last name, because I only knew one Edwin, and he had been dead for a while.
"Said something about a guy named Carter too…"
O good Lord have mercy on me, it couldn't be.
My brother was alive, and kicking.
If he was hanging out with Carter looking for me, then Carter might be supplying him help on locating me, since he has his ways. He might also want me back. Maybe he could even help me get out of all this Keith Davy cartel business, he could even help Keith and Johnny too!
I about screamed with joy.
"Dana, don't worry. Tell my aunt I'll be home by tonight. By any chance, did Edwin leave a number?"
"Nope, said to tell you to call Carter."
"Gotcha. I'll see you soon."
"You better tell me what you and Mr. Davy did," were her last words before she hung up.
Everyone was staring at me. Well, except Delilah, who glanced briefly at me through the rearview mirror, before leading her eyes back to the road.
I was flipping through my contacts until I found Carter's. Johnny had been peering over my shoulder and when he saw Carter's name, his bugged out of his sockets.
"Mind your own business, I don't go looking over-"
"You know Carter Rivera?"
Delilah slammed on the brakes.
