Chapter 6
James looked at Emmett expectantly, waiting for him to decide if he would risk his little brother’s safety by lashing out and becoming violent. Edward waited too as negative thoughts of apprehension entered him. What if his brother was too set on a fight and didn’t care if he got hurt?
Emmett sighed but resolved with his decision. “I’ll do whatever you want, but leave my kid brother alone.”
“And you?” Demetri narrowed his gaze on Jasper.
“Just don’t you dare touch Edward,” Jasper snapped back fiercely.
Edward couldn’t help but fell the tiniest bit stunned at how strongly Emmett and Jasper spoke those words. He had never known a time when Emmett had shown he cared for him as a brother.
Satisfied with the response, Demetri and Felix stepped over to them and released the leather cuffs.
“Hands behind you back,” Demetri ordered.
Emmett and Jasper grudgingly obeyed and did their best to hold still as duct tape was wrapped around their wrists.
Edward noticed the bandage around Emmett’s forearm. He’d almost forgotten that Emmett had been shot a couple of hours ago. At least they patched it up like they said they would.
Having finished with their arms, a shorter strip of duct tape was torn off from the roll and plastered over their mouths. Then, on a clear stretch of flooring, Emmett and Jasper were forced to kneel down side by side.
Edward was becoming scared again. “What are you going to do?” he whispered to James who still hadn’t let go of him.
“Shh,” James brushed a hand down the side of Edward’s face to shush him. “Just do as you’re told and this will all be over very quickly.”
The roll of tape was chucked across the expanse of the room and James caught it. He ripped some off and stuck it over Edward’s trembling lips. He was directed over and forced to kneel beside his brother. Edward was close to tears. Were they going to execute them now?
Ashamed with how weak he was, Edward hid his face against Emmett’s broad arm, the white undershirt soaking in the few sparse tears.
In response to his brother’s distress, Emmett angled his body more towards Edward in an attempt at comfort.
“Are we ready?” Demetri asked.
“All set, ready to go,” Laurent responded.
A camera was in Felix’s hands and brought toward the three kneeling boys. He snapped a shot, making sure Edward’s face could be seen and not hidden away. A second shot was taken of Emmett alone, made to include the injuries he’d already sustained.
And finally and third was taken of Edward alone. James’ arm covered with his jacket, wrapped it around Edward’s neck, forcing him to look up into the flash of light, sheen of tears down his cheeks.
“Perfect,” Demetri muttered as he observed the photos being loaded onto the computer screen. “Send them off then make the call.”
A few moments later the room was filled with the sound of a phone ringing as if it were on speaker. Demetri picked up a small microphone that had been next to the computer and held it close to his mouth
“Hello?” a voice on the other end answered.
“Would I be speaking to Dr. Cullen?” Demetri said in a calm voice, but through the computer, Edward could hear that it was being distorted, making it unrecognisable.
“Yes, that is I. What can I do for you?” Carlisle replied. His words were polite but his tone was full of suspicion.
Edward couldn’t hold back a whimper at hearing his Dad.
“Right now I suggest you check your inbox. There is something you need to see.”
“What?” Carlisle sounded confused.
“Just do it Dr. Cullen, and hurry up.”
Sounds of someone on the other side of the line moved around and made a few clicking noises. There was silence, then, “NO!”
“Weren’t you becoming a little worried that your boys’ had not arrived home yet?” Demetri continued in his calm voice.
“What have you done to my sons’? Where are they? Release them!”
Neither Emmett nor Edward had ever heard their Dad sound so furious.
“Dr. Cullen, you should realise that it will not be as easy as that. Your boys’ and the Hale will remain with us until you have carried out all of our demands.”
“HOW DARE YOU KIDNAP THEM!” Carlisle bellowed.
“You must calm down, Dr. Cullen. I will hurt them if you refuse to listen,” Demetri’s words became firmer.
There was silence from the other line.
“Good. Now listen carefully,” Demetri said, speaking faster. “You will arrange for 6 million dollars in unmarked bills for the safe return all three boys. If, for some reason you are unable to pay, we will kill them and I guarantee their bodies will never be found.”
Carlisle’s voice was tight when he spoke again. “Where do I take the money?”
“That is not important for the moment, Dr. Cullen. We will contact you in three days to arrange the drop.”
“Wait! That isn’t enough time!”
Demetri smirked at Carlisle’s distress and looked down at the Cullen boys’. “You will find a way.”
There was another moment of silence. Carlisle was not going to argue the matter.
“Oh, and Dr. Cullen. The usual threat applies in regards to any and all Authorities. I have already shot your eldest son once. I have no qualms about doing it again.”
“No!” Carlisle let out a strangled sound of distress.
Demetri nodded to Laurent and the line went dead.
