Just Come back!

It was Tuesday, no one in the Ograya Family left home except Simon who went to the Bank to borrow, but when they accessed his collateral he was only granted a Three-Hundred Thousand Dollar loan with all his Family properties from many generations ago on the line as collateral which was by far below the demands of the Kidnappers.

Meanwhile at the Kidnappers Den that day. "Hey Rick! Nick and I will be heading out to get supplies, you stay back and keep an eye on the boy okay?" Jerry ordered Rick, "Sure Boss, will do!" Rick replied. After they had gone out, minutes later, Rick went into the room where Billy was captured and sat by him. "Sorry bout this whole thing kid, not to mention this shit food we're giving you here, but that's how these streets are, it's either kill or be killed you know, it ain't friendly at all, we gotta survive out here you know, only shocking that we're kidnapping kids now" as he removed the pieces of cloth wrapped round his mouth, and lights a cigar. "You're not like them you know?" Billy said looking down "Ha! You don't know anything about me kid, I've done really bad things" Rick said in jest, "But only to survive right? Like you said. I know people who do bad things just to punish and pick on others for no reason" Billy said countering. "How old are you kid" Rick asked, "Twelve" replied Billy, "Well for a Twelve year old you're way too calm than you should be you know?" Rick continued, "Staying calm helps you think instead of panick, that's what my Dad told me" said Billy, "You're a smart kid you know, I'm Rick by the way, and you?" Rick chuckling asked, "Billy" Billy replied.

Moments later, they began to hear indistinct chattering and muttering, it was Jerry and Nicky who had arrived with the supplies. Rick quickly tied Billy's mouth back and went off to welcome them. "How's the boy innit?" Nicky asked Rick, "He's good, he's good" Rick replied, "Brilliant!" Jerry said commending Rick, he continued "You know I used another public phone to call his Father again, can you believe the Bastard! He said he has no money but can offer Three Hundred Thousand only" "Sounds like alot of money to me you know!" Rick said, "You really like this kid don't you? Well! You can forget it Rick, he thinks he can escape easy from this one, but when he sees just how serious we are, he'll come through with our money!" Jerry told Rick grievously.

It was Wednesday morning when it started raining, and news had reached Billy's school that he had been kidnapped. "Wish we weren't so mean to him" Pete Benson said, "Yeah! Now I feel really bad" Fred Maderick added, "Hope he comes back so we can apologise to him for all the harm we caused" he continued.

Meanwhile in their local Church. "Don't worry Mr. Ograya, we'll be praying for him expediently, the Good Lord will bring your son back to you safe and sound you hear me?" said the local Church Pastor, Pastor Amos to Mr. Ograya, "Let's have a word of prayer, Heavenly Father, we wanna bless your name, we have come here today..." He continued in prayers with Mr. Ograya holding hands.

In the Ograya house that same day. "I was never mad at you little bro, I just felt like I was loosing you gradually, and I was scared you were growing too fast, and I really missed the way we used to bond when we were much younger, I'm sorry bro, but you've really got me and young Timothy here terrified. Come back home and we can sort it out, I'll give you all the space you need okay? Just come back!" Henry said in tears looking at Billy in a Family picture on the wall. "Henry, Henry, I miss Billy" Young Timothy told Henry, "I know Tim, we all do!" Henry told Timothy as well.
