Part One, Chapter Five - A Storm Is Coming
"Enjoy your feast and come eat with the beast". - Unknown
Both Theo and Daniel ran away from the crowd to which they see an ambulance coming towards the crowd. They hide in the corner with them laughing at each other. On the other hand Herschel begins to use the binoculars once more. He doesn't see them and exits the balcony of the mall and enters the mall to which he goes down using an escalator. As he checks out his watch, what time he will meet his parents. But he lost his phone, doesn't know where it is now. He looks for them but doesn't see them anywhere.
He then steps down the floor after the escalator is about to go down. He sees there are restaurants, noticing his stomach was gurgling. He goes to a nearby restaurant to eat (Wendy's), with a warm smile of the counter server. With a name tag on her body, near her chest was. "What can I order for you sir?" She asked Herschel.
Herschel begins to say "Just chicken nuggets and some salads with some coke in it". Herschel said before she said "Coming right up, that will be 23.45 dollars". He eventually looked for his wallet in his pants and gave her money. She said "thanks". Herschel looks for a seat as he waits for his order to be brought. He looks at his table number "24"
Eventually he found a spot and sits on it near where people order. His number was eventually called. He gets his order and begins to eat. While looking at people. He begins to eat faster as he still think if Daniel has his phone. Use it as an evidence. That could ruin his plan. He eventually finishes to eat and left the restaurant with gun tucked in his pants.
With no smile on his face. He goes outside the mall and breathes heavily for what he is about to do. He drives his car that is parked on the basement level.
With cars parked along with his car. He starts to open the engine of his car. He then goes up in this spiral way to go up the mall. With a gate blocking his path. He starts to pay a fee on a woman. It is almost 4:52 AM on his car. 5 hours more before the mall will close. He eventually pays the woman a fee. Goes outside to go to his house first.
As his destination to think for a moment. Eventually on the other hand, Theo and Daniel have stolen a car which they talked inside. They eventually closed the door. Theo spoke "I will tell anything what I know about Herschel and this dad calling on his phone. I also picked up the phone earlier. Use it as an evidence against him. Theo said to Daniel to which Daniel begins to listen to what he is about to say. "He is the mastermind behind your sons kidnapping". Daniel begins to look at Theo "and then?" Daniel said to which Theo responded "He is coming to hunt you down, once he gained trust onto you. So you won't be happy. Here is a recording, proof I am a witness. Only the voices I recorded. I don't want to get suspicious". Theo opens his phone and looks for the recording he did.
He eventually played it, from the phone and then Daniel hears voices that are fighting. He hears Herschel talking "I won't let you ruin my plans, Neil! No one should ever know about it." To which someone responded to Herschel on the recording. "Daniel should know about this, you can't run away from karma, if you begin to plan what you are doing. Do you even have proof, he have done that?! He is your best friend, our best friend." Neil said.
To which Herschel begins to scream at Neil. "This is the only way I could think of, this friendship of ours with Daniel was over anyway! Especially what he did to my family!" Neil interrupted Herschel "You don't have any proof, why do you always have to believe everything your parents has to say?! Can't you see they hated him in the first place?! Are you not connecting the dots!? With each problem you face, they always bring Daniel in the picture!" A baby begins to cry on the background of the recording. Daniel hears on the recording Neil saying "Do not take that child away from Daniel." With a quiet tone, before someone pulls out the gun and shoots someone. The recording ends. Daniel holds back his tears and exits the stolen car.
He begins to run and Theo follows him outside. Daniel sniffles. Theo catches up to him. And touches his shoulders. "I know this is hard for you and always, I love you and I wish to be with you forever". Daniel stops crying and looks at him. Theo readjusts his comment. "I mean you as my friend, I love you". Daniel pretends to forgot what Theo said earlier. Said to himself "He loves me? I felt the same way as him?" Given how embarrassed Theo was, when he said that. Daniel looks away for a moment. Daniel was confused at himself. Before eventually Daniel walks away and same goes to Theo.
Daniel calls his other friend to come pick him up. Eventually he is home now. He checks the room of Ello, where he remembers how Ello used to play with his older brother. He then goes downstairs to drink some coffee and play some games on his computer for sometime. Which he eventually wanted some release of emotions. He clicked the Microsoft Word on his computer. Wrote a fictional book and the characters involved, is based on real life. Meanwhile, as Theo was driving the car both him and Daniel stole earlier.
He goes to a telephone booth to call someone with a piece of paper crumbled onto his pants. He calls the number. "Is this Herschel dad's number?" Theo asked before someone answered "Yes, and who might you be?" He asked then Theo answered "I am Theo Lynch Samburg, friend of your son Herschel Reese. We both know how much you and your wife hated Daniel."
Theo said in a calm manner as the alarm starts to blare. The father of Herschel snickers "My son has nothing to do with the kidnap-". Theo begins to interrupt Herschel's father from talking. "Bullshit, you know he is the mastermind and you know how his mind works."
Theo puts the telephone back with the alarm still blaring throughout the streets of Brooklyn. Wind blew the leaves with newspapers getting swept through. Theo checks the gun in his pocket. Before he looks at the sky. "God, forgive me for what I am about to do".
He then begins to enter the stolen car, and sees there is a bunch of CD's containing songs from AC/DC and Metallica. (Which he failed to notice, since they are in a hurry.) Theo looks through the bunch of CD's on the ground and found Hell's Bells by AC/DC. He began to put the CD onto the radio and the music starts to play. With rain starts to fall. Theo puts his shades on and adjusts the radio to its maximum volume.
With a bunch of bullets onto his left side supported by a chair. He adjusted his mirror and speeds up the car. "You are going down with me Herschel!" He said as he begins to speed up the car once more. Before someone opened the window of someone's car. It was Herschel holding a gun ready to shoot at Theo. Just as the chorus of Hell's Bells plays.
