Chapter 18
There was hardly any light in the silent, secluded industrial estate. Only one dim streetlamp illuminated the scene.
Well before eleven o’clock the kidnappers arrived on Ayrshire Crescent, the prearranged exchange sight, and unload three boys from the vehicles.
With hoods over all of their heads, the three boys’ were forced to kneel on the hard, chilly asphalt of the road as they waited for the second party to arrive. Emmett was in the middle of the other two, shoulders brushing each other to know they were still together. He wished his Dad would hurry up and make the nightmare go away.
Demetri, Felix and Laurent took up their positions around the boys’, guns loaded and ready.
Time crept by, no one spoke, not even the kidnappers.
Then, off in the distance, the sound of another car could be heard approaching. Emmett tensed in anticipation and strained with his ears to ensure he could listen to as much as possible around him.
The car travelled quickly, engine getting louder, until it stopped a short distance away from the other two vehicles and people surrounding them.
Emmett could see a dull sheen of headlights penetrating though the black cloth obscuring his face.
“BOYS!” the sound of Carlisle’s panicked voice echoed through the day as he got out of the car.
“Stay where you are,” another voice demanded. Emmett knew it was Demetri. “Do you have the money?”
“Yes,” Carlisle replied. “It’s in the boot.”
“Get it out.”
Carlisle followed the directions as quickly as he could. He pulled out two very heavy, black duffle bags and set them on the ground in front of the car.
From a distance guns were held on Carlisle and the boys’ as one of the assailants moved forward to inspect the bags.
“It looks good,” the inspector called. Emmett recognised it as Felix.
Felix picked up the bags and loaded them into the Nissan Patrol.
Demetri spoke up again. “I see that you have followed all of our directions according to our specifications.”
“Of course,” Carlisle agreed. “Now can I please have my boys’ back?” Anxiousness filled the Cullen patriarch’s voice. He was worried about the guns still being held on the kneeling three.
“In a few moments,” Demetri replied.
“But-” Carlisle began.
“First you need to follow what we say or these boys’ will be dead before you can get to them.”
Carlisle nodded.
“One of our accomplices is on one of the surrounding rooftops with a QBU-88 sniper rifle with night vision rifle scope. He will keep the weapon trained on the boys’. If you approach them BEFORE we have driven out of sight then they will be killed. Once you can no longer see us the sniper will depart and you will be free to go to the boys’. Have I made myself clear?” Demetri’s tone was clear and commanding.
Carlisle nodded again. “Yes. I understand.”
With that, Demetri, Felix and Laurent climbed into the vehicles and took off at a screeching pace, leaving three boys’ kneeling on the road, a father and his car.
Carlisle was very aware of the threat and danger that was out there, pointed towards his sons’. He made sure the cars had turned the corner and could no longer be heard before his ran over to them in haste.
“Boys! Emmett! Edward! Jasper!”
Reaching them, Carlisle threw off the three black hoods to see three faces, mouths covered with silver tape. As he began to remove the gags, he noticed something horrible.
Jasper was to the right of Emmett, but the boy to the left was a stranger, unknown.
“Who are you?” Emmett snapped as he stood up from the painfully hard ground.
“NO! Where is Edward?” Carlisle cried.
The unknown boy was dressed in the clothes Edward had worn on their day at the shopping centre. He was almost the exact same height and build as the youngest Cullen. The tape ripped off so they could get some answers.
“I don’t know what’s going on,” the boy said with tears in his eyes. “I was taken a few days ago by two men and kept in a van until just now!”
“But where is Edward?” Carlisle asked again.
“I don’t know,” Emmett said despondently. “I thought that was Edward when we were forced in the van together. We’ve been blindfolded since leaving the cabin they kept us in.”
“No. Something is wrong,” Carlisle looked like he was about to hyperventilate. “I was supposed to give them the 6 million dollars and they were to let you, Jasper and Edward go!”
No one could understand what had gone wrong. What had they missed?
“We need to go to the police,” Jasper spoke up.
A tear slipped down Carlisle’s cheek, terrified at the thought of where his youngest son could be. “Yes. And we need to hurry. Quickly get into the car.”
Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper and the unknown boy climbed into the car and drove off to find the nearest Police Station.
