Dangerously Unusual novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

I screamed in shock when he pulled a gun out and pointed it straight at my head.

"Too late to change your mind." he said in his usual dark manner, "Now you have to come with me. Whether you like it or not. Else I'll shoot you in the head."

I was trembling from head to toe and dared not to tell him no. I nodded obediently, having no choice. It was now turning into a kidnap. I should've run away when I still had a chance.

He led me down the street and I tried not to pass out because of the fear.

As we walked, a car's headlights could be seen at a distance approaching. He stopped in his tracks and I stopped too. The car came closer and I realized it was a black hummer. It pulled up and a man all dressed in black stepped out. I recognized him immediately. It was that man I'd seen roaming on campus. He still had that fat black hat on. In the dark, I couldn't make out his face.

"Good job, Caruso." his deep voice gave me the chills.

"It was a kid's game. You got them?"

"Yes." the man gave Anthonio a briefcase before giving him the car's keys. I stood there lost.

"What about the girl?" the scary man referred to me and I stopped breathing.

"I'll see about her case later. I need to go."

"Alright. The bag is in the boot. When you'll land, you'll know."

"Okay." then turning, Anthonio pointed the gun at me again and I froze. "Get in the car." was his order.

I was scared to death as I hurriedly got into the front seat. Anthonio got in too.

"Meet you there." the man said.

"Yeah."

Anthonio closed his door and started the car. I got confused.

"W– what about the scary guy? He's staying out there?" I asked, trembling. As if that was my business. I guess my fear had something to do with it.

"Shut up," he replied dryly as he started the car and we drove off, leaving the other man. I looked back and to my surprise, he wasn't there anymore. Like he'd vanished! What was up with these people?

"Where are we going to?" I asked slowly, tears rolling down my cheeks.
