Twenty Questions

Chapter 9



 part two
(italicized words means she's remembering what Carter told her)
He said it was one of the scariest moments of his life.
He had never heard a gun being loaded in person, but he said he’d watched enough TV to get the right idea.
He told me that his heart was beating his ears, and it didn’t help when he could feel the barrel being pressed up against his back.
He held his breath and risked a glance in the shiny mirror to try and see who it was behind him.
A little relief settled into him when he realized it was the first man- my father- and not the massive one he had stolen that box from.
“I’m gonna put the gun away, but only after you give me that box.” he explained to Carter.
Carter obeyed, shakily handing the box over and breathing a sigh of relief as the gun was removed from his back.
“What is it?” Carter questioned.
“I don’t think I have to tell you that, young man.”
“Well, could you at least tell me why you let me go back out there?”
“I had a feeling it would be…worth it.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Did you know I was going to…” Carter drifted off, not sure if he should continue and admit that he stole that.
“Listen kid, I’m not up for any game of twenty questions right now.” The man said while peeking into the box, probably to check on whatever it was.
Carter caught a glimpse of it.
It was a gem of some kind.
“Wow…” he sighed.
And the man snapped the case shut.
“What are you going to do with that?”
“That isn’t your business.”
 “Well… are you going to give it back to that man?”
“Who said it wasn’t mine in the first place?” My father retorted.
“How did he get it then?”
“People steal things. I got it back.”
“Well what is it?”
“Enough questions!”
Carter flinched at the man’s sudden outburst.
The man looked apologetic, but only for a second.
“What’s your name, kid?”
“Carter.” He said while standing up a little straighter.
The man nodded, and Carter waited. He had expected the man to share his own name with him, but he didn’t.
“Well…?” he prompted.
“Well what?”
“Your name? I told you mine.”
“You should probably get out of here.” My father said looking around the restroom, suddenly very tense and cautious.
“Wait…me? Why?” Carter asked, confused.
“Um…you just should.”
And then there was a bang…it sounded like it came from just outside the restroom door.
My father swore under his breath.
“Nevermind that, you’re gonna have to come with me.” My father whispered.
“But who-“ Carter shut-up because of the look the man was giving him.
Carter said that getting out of the bathroom was a blur. He wasn’t sure how they had gotten past whoever had been outside.
The next thing he knew they were in an elevator going down.
They were on the second floor and they were going down to the parking garage.
“Listen, when we get off the elevator here I want you to act totally normal and just walk out. Get on a bus or something and leave town. Don’t worry about me, I have a car parked here. But you need to promise me that you won’t stop because they could be right behind us and if they see you, then there’s a 99.9% chance that they’ll at least try to tail you.” The man explained.
What had Carter- and my father- gotten themselves into that day?
