Chapter
22
Brian felt the sweat accumulate on his forehead as he stared at the gun
Charlie had pointed at him, he prayed the gun wasn't loaded but he had a bad
feeling it was. Charlie looked at Brian's bewildered expression and let out a
loud laugh startling both of his accomplices and Brian.
"So are you ready to become acquainted with this surprise
Littrell?" Charlie sneered as he looked at the gun.
Brian swallowed hard trying to get rid of the lump that had formed in
his throat, "Why?" he managed to whisper.
"Why what?" Charlie asked innocently with an evil grin on his
face.
"Why are you doing this to me. What did I ever do to you?"
Brian asked with a shaky voice.
"Oh let's see Littrell." Charlie said before he stopped a
moment to think. "First off you witnessed us killing of those three
girls."
"How did you know I witnessed the murder?" Brian asked,
hoping that if he feigned innocence that they would let him loose.
"Well we found your little friend Nick picking up your wallet and
when Adam over there approached him, he tried to kick the wallet away so we
wouldn't notice it I guess he was trying to protect you but he didn't do a very
good job, did he?" Charlie chuckled. "And anyways we picked up the
wallet and found your information and everything and once we beat the kid shitless
we dumped his body in the alley and put your wallet in his pocket, so the
police would know who to contact and we waited for you to be alone and we
kidnapped you. Pretty good plan, don't you agree Littrell?" Charlie said
proudly as he polished his gun with the edge of his shirt.
Brian didn't answer for he was too horrified by Charlie's confession to
even force his voice to work. He whimpered in pain when Charlie again reached
back and forcefully slapped Brian across the face.
"When I ask you a question Littrell, you better answer right away
you got it?" Charlie asked.
Brian nodded and flinched as Charlie again raised his hand up.
"Yes sir" he answered quickly with his weak voice, hoping that
Charlie heard him. He sank against the wall in relief as Charlie lowered his
hand.
"You ready to do this fellas?" Charlie asked as he turned
around, his gun still facing Brian as he talked to his two accomplices.
Both Tom and Adam
nodded and took their places beside of Charlie. Brian closed his eyes and gripped
the bed as he seen Charlie's pointer finger push the trigger. He shouted in
fear as the sound of a gun going off echoed in his ears and braced his body for
impact, hoping and praying the whole time that he would make it out alive.
