| Kidnapped | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chapter 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I do own them well the characters but not the school or the town. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pleases R&R. I do accept flames but only if they are constructive not (This was crap) I need help so please give it to me. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A few home truths | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Alex is a 12 year old boy he has brown hair, blue eyes and is 5ft 4. He comes top of his class and is 2 years ahead of his age group. His family live in England the Yorkshire Dales and they live in a town called Skipton. Alex goes to a Grammar school (This is a school that tests have to be passed to get in) called Ermisteds, which is an all boys school, and he is having a great time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Little does Alex know that he is actually the son of a multi million heir Jean-Claude Harper that is until the second week in June when his real father is kidnapped and the only person who can take over the business is Alex Radcliff or Alex Harper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It was a Saturday morning and I was laying in bed when I heard a car pull up outside our house like I said it was morning and when I say morning I mean 2 am so we don't usually get visitors at this time so I got up and went to my window to see who it was. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My window looks out over the drive way and onto the street so I could get a good look. Out there was a black limousine and two men were getting out they looked just like the bodyguards that you see in films all dressed in black and tall with lots of muscles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The first guy that got out of the car walked up to the house and I thought that he was going to press the door bell instead he looked straight at me and smiled then he pressed the door bell. This was when I got my second shock because I heard dad say "That must be them and what a time to come calling it better be good or there would be hell to pay." He actually sounded angry and that would be a first because dad has one of those voices that stay calm even when he's mad at you. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When dad had opened the door to let the guy in, I heard mum go down the stairs I made my way to the top of the stairs so that I could hear what was going on. Just as I reached the top, I heard mum greet the guests and it seemed as if they knew one another. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Good morning Mark how are you?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "I'm fine Anna," said the voice that must be Marks, it was a deep voice and held a lot of power if he wanted it to. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Does he know?" another voice asked must be the other man who came in. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "You called us up at midnight do you expect us to wake him to tell him or would you wait till a little later" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "He's already awake David I saw him at the window when we came in" that was Marks voice so the big guy who smiled at me when he came in was Mark. Anyway I had just been busted and had to make a mad dash from the top of the stairs to my room and in to bed so they wouldn't think any thing of the guy Mark and I wasn't allowed up till at least 9am on a weekend. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I heard dad come back up the stairs and open my door and all he said was " you might as well get up and come join us. Make sure you put on your dressing gown. Ok." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Sure dad" I said, "I'll be right there" then I jumped out of bed into the dressing gown that I was bought for my 11th birthday and never used and down the stairs after dad. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When I reached to the bottom of the stairs, I could hear voices coming from the living room and started to head towards them. At this point apprehension started to set in. who were these people? How did they know mum and dad? Moreover, why did I have to be present? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Before I got the chance to bolt the door to the living room opened and the tall guy that I think was Mark said?We didn?t think you were going to join us. Come on in Alex? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I didn?t have a reply to that because it was the truth and I didn?t want to look like a wimp in front of these men they looked like they could pick you up and snap you in half if you were too much of a wimp to be with them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When I entered the room, the other man who had come with Mark stood up. He was about 6ft 10 and built like a brick shit house, he was an intimidating man to look at so I scooted round him and sat down next to mum but I never let my eyes off him till he sat down again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Now Alex dad said, ?these men are friends of ours and have come to see you? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why? is the only thing I could think to say. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| With that question, I felt the tension in the room double as if it wasn't bad enough in the first place. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Well Alex we have something to tell you and it's very important that you listen and not interrupt. We will let you ask your questions at the end. Is that alright with you?" Dad sounded extremely serious and this scared the hell out of me. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "That's fine by me dad" I whispered. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Alright Alex I'll get straight to the point. When you were a baby, you were brought to us by a very wealthy businessman named Jean-Claude Harper. His wife had just died after giving birth and he did not believe that he could look after this small child on his own. At this time, your mum and me had been on the list to adopt because we couldn?t have children on our own. This is how Mr Harper found us he had been looking for a family to look after his baby son and bring him up as there own. Mr Harper wanted someone who could give the child the love and support that he needed and so he brought his young son to us and asked us to take him in. We said yes because we had always wanted children. Do you understand what I'm telling you Alex" all I could do is nod but this seemed like enough for dad because he carried on with his story. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Well we took that little boy in nearly 13 years ago now and we have been blessed to watch him grow up. But Alex now it's time for you to go back to your real dad because he needs you now, he needs your help with his business and you are the heir to it. So in the morning we are going to pack your things and we will say goodbye. However, we will not just stop seeing you we will talk and visit you. And we will hear about all your good deeds from Mr Harper because he has promised that we will know what you're up to all the time. Now do you have any questions? If you do we will try to answer them as best we can." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well what do you ask the people you thought were your parents when they turn your world upside down on you? No I couldn't think of anything because right then I couldn't think at all. I was totally shell shocked I didn't think I would be able to move for the next week the way I was feeling, but some part of my brain must have been functioning because all those questions I wanted to know earlier popped out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "So" I said turning to look at the other men in the room "who are you two?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The men looked a little surprised that I had asked this but little did they know it was a distraction technique while I thought up more appropriate questions for mum and dad. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "My name is Mark Holmes and I'm one of your father?s bodyguards." This came from the 6ft tall guy with a shock of brown hair and really blue eyes. (maybe they're contacts). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Okay and who are you" I asked the guy I didn't know the name of. He was a little taller than Mark, maybe a little more muscular but his eyes were like grey steel, and he was a hell of a lot scarier. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "I am Sam and am also in the employment of your father" wow he had an extremely deep but emotionless voice and he sounded foreign. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Oh, what do you do?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Guard, assassinate and baby sit." I was a little shocked by this but then I noticed that his eyes weren't as cold as before he was joking so I decided to play along. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "So who did you assassinate last then?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Instead of answering the question he gave me a little smile and said, "you boy are definitely your father's son." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What, the hell did that mean. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Okay so you both work for um.... Mr Harper?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "It's okay Alex you can call Mr Harper dad if you want to" Dad whispered | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "No thanks dad you'll always hold that title in my heart" I whispered back. I thought that I saw tears in dads eyes but he looked away before I could be sure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Yes we both work for Mr Harper in some aspect of his business" answered Mark I had forgotten that I had asked a question. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "That's nice if you'll all excuse me but I'm tired and it's been an eventful day already but I would like some sleep" and a little time on my own to think things through I thought "So I will say goodnight or is that good morning and go to bed" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I got a range of nods and sure sons from the people left in the room and took my self off to bed fast. I needed to think this through. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When I got upstairs, I took off the dressing gown to reveal my WWF T-shirt and boxers then climbed in to my bed and fell asleep after a long time. Questions I wanted to ask tomorrow kept on going round in my head and I just felt like crying how could they have lied to me for so long. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
