The Prisoner
I left my position in my house and went to see what happened. If James fired off a gun it was for good reason. One of the soldiers must've gotten in again.
"James,is everything alright?"I whispered.
The door opened. James stood before me,Barreta in hand,and the collar of Captain McPeters in the other. I stood there,staring at what I was seeing. We finally caught Captain McPeters.
"Help me tie him up. And we need to hide afterwards. Once they find out that he's gone the entire army will be after us."
All of us were in the bunker underground,which held supplies in such an emergency. McPeters was out cold,with a gun shot to the hip.
"Will he be able to walk?"asked Sarah.
"Probably,"said James.
Caleb walked back over after getting a can of soup.
"Alright this ones clear! McPeters must be back at the base or something."
"What if he's in a fight with something like a mountain lion or something? They're around this time of season."
"We'll continue the search tomorrow."
Once the footsteps were gone the team started talking again.
"How long till they go away?"I asked.
"Maybe a week or so. Seems like we'll be stuck down here for a while,"said James.
Day 1
McPeters finally woke up.
"What the? Get me out of here! I swear when my men arrive,you shall all be executed!"he yelled.
"No one's coming for you you bastard,"said James.
"You! You're the one who shot me!"said McPeters.
"Yeah,and if I were you I'd shut my mouth before I get shot again!"said James.
McPeters sat in silence. Everyone was quiet,and I couldn't handle it.
"So,what's for dinner?"I asked.
James pointed to the many cans of soup.
"Enjoy."
McPeters started at me,as if stuck in a daze.
"Can you please get your eyes off of me? It's kind of creepy,"I said.
McPeters turned his head back around and started at Sarah.
"So uh,we have never had any girls pretty as you in our army.... You know,I could give you a position in the army..."
I took McPeter's chair and turned it so we wouldn't be able to see Sarah.
"Oh fuck off,kid! I'm just trying to have an adult conversation,"saidMcPeters.
"Once your men are done searching for you I'll let Bill deal with you,"said James.
Bill looked up from his shotgun,which he was still working on. He was assessed with carving into his gun. He then looked back down.
"That brute doesn't scare me,"said McPeters.
Kim appeared from the food and tossed a can of soup to Bill,who then tore the lid off with his bare hand.
"Just letting you know,that's the can opener kind,"said Kim.
McPeters rolled his eyes and laughed.
"I'll probably die from bordom before they give up the hunt,"he said.
Day 2
The army was all over the camp. All we heard their voices from above.
"In here!! I'm in here!"yelled McPeters.
"They won't be able to hear you,"said James.
McPeters ended up falling over in his chair,while still strapped to it.
"In here!"he continued to yell.
Bill got up from his carving set McPeters back in place.
"Now shut up or I'll put you back down there,"he said.
McPeters kicked at Bill,who then picked up the chair,with McPeters still in it,and dropped it on the floor.
"Ow! Jesus!"McPeters yelled.
"Do you think that the captain is alright?"
Everyone fell quiet.
"I hope not. He's such a pain."
"Well,he is the commanding officer."
"Well once he's pronounced dead I'll be the commanding officer. I'm mostly praying that he's dead."
The voice from above was the second in command,Zachary Jameston.
"What?! That traitor!"yelled McPeters.
"So,you're starting to see your men for who they are?"asked James.
McPeters just stared at the ceiling above.
"Oh thank god."
"What is it?"
"They're calling off the search."
McPeters head went back down.
"The army doesn't even care about me,"he said,silently.
McPeters looked back up at James.
"Do what you must. If you are to kill me,so be it."he said.
