Billy!?

It was Thursday night at the Kidnappers den, all the Kidnappers were fast asleep except Billy who was humming a tune from the room he was being kept. The humming woke Rick up but not the others, he decided to go check up on Billy. When he got to Billy's room, he untied his mouth, "Thank you so much! I knew you'd come" Billy said, "I'm confused abit innit" Rick said looking puzzled, "I need a huge favour from you Rick, and now please, I don't think I have much time innit, you got a phone?" Billy asked "What do you mean you don't have much time? Yeah I got a phone" Rick said, "I'll explain later just turn on your phone recorder please!?" Billy asked again politely, "Okay okay Billy, calm down" Rick replied chuckling as he turned it on, Billy then picked up his school back pack and brought out his journal and turned to the page he was initially writing in before the incident, and to Rick's greatest surprise Billy began to sing... "🎶 I'm sorry for the wait, I'm sorry for the way things have been, yeah I'm sorry for the weights. You know you mean the world to me, hope I mean the same to you, sometimes I'm paranoid and confused... 🎶" Billy kept on singing. After he finished singing, "Wow! That's the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, and did you..., did you write this? Oh my goodness!" Rick said in amazement, "Yeah, I did! Was suppose to record it with the Church instruments next Sunday, you see there's this cool app on my mum's phone with good mic that let's you record both your voice and even instrumentals on it, and after it's been mixed and mastered by professionals on the app, it sound just as good as if it was produced in an actual studio. I've got a bunch of songs, but they're still raw files though, you know, don't got money to pay for the mix and mastering bit" Billy said as he turned to the back page and pulled out a piece of paper and gave Rick, "Here! Give this to my Elder Brother Hen. I'm really sleepy now Rick, Goodnight!" Billy said yawning as he layed down on the floor but his head on a comfy pillow Rick had earlier provided and slept off instantly. "Silly kid! Really didn't want to forget the flow of his song, telling me he didn't have much time, Ha!" Rick said teasing sleeping Billy as he walked off to the main hall where Jerry and Nicky were still fast asleep, he also layed down as well but began to ponder on Billy's words when he said he uses his mums phone to record and not his own personal phone, and that he didn't have money to pay for the mixing and mastering. After putting the pieces together he realised that Billy was not from a rich home at all and that Jerry and Nicky had known the whole time.

The following morning by six o'clock AM exactly, Rick took off to Billy's room once again and asked "You're parents aren't rich now are they Billy?", but Billy didn't wake up, "You don't usually sleep deep" he continued as he began tapping him, "Billy? Billy? Billy!? Billy!?" He Screamed but Billy was still with no response. Billy was Gone. "He's gone!!!" Rick screamed rushing to the hall Jerry and Nicky were waking them up, "He's gone!!!" "Calm down Rick, what do you mean he's gone?" Jerry asked, "He escaped?" Nicky further asked, "No!!! He's dead you fool! If only we returned him..." Rick bursting into tears, "Calm down Rick! Man up!" Jerry prompted Rick "Don't tell me to calm down you murderer, you did this!" Rick said pointing at Jerry "Calm down blood, we'll need redemption from this obviously but first things first, we return the corpse to the family yeah?" Nicky said but Rick threw a punch right across Nicky's face.

Meanwhile Mr. Ograya had ran helter-skelter finding money until atlas he accumulated the Seven Hundred Thousand extra he needed to complete the One Million Dollars Ransom demanded by the Kidnappers by borrowing from Friends and Family, calling out major care organisations for help and through the Media as well waiting patiently for the next call from the Kidnappers.

Moments later, after Rick could calm down and think straight, he carried the body and prompted Jerry to call Mr. Ograya with his cell phone, which he did, Mr. Ograya quickly picked, with tension in his voice he said "Hello! Hello!? Is this my son's Kidnapper? Hello!?!??" "Yes, it is..." "I have your money please don't hurt my little boy please, please I beg you in the name of God please!!!" Mr. Ograya said pleading cutting Jerry before he could finish his sentence, "You have the One Million Dollars??" Jerry asked, "Yes I do!" Mr. Ograya replied, "What are you doing Jerry?" asked Rick. Jerry immediately hung up and picked up a gun in a drawer next to him pointing it towards Rick, "You've gone soft boy! You wanna throw away a Million Dollar Ransom we may never have again out the window, I don't think so!..." The gun went off. Jerry shot Rick as he fell hitting the floor hard. "You would have killed him anyway even if it was still just the Three-Hundred grands wouldn't you?" Nicky asked, "Mhmm I may have considered" Jerry said jokingly, "Go start up the engine, let's get the hell out of here before the Feds track us here using that phone call, while I text Mr. Ograya our anonymous Bank details to transfer the money" he continued, "Okay Boss!" Nicky said as he walked out the hall. But as Jerry went to pick up the phone once more to text Mr. Ograya, Rick walked up gently and quietly onto him from behind and slit his throat with a pocket dagger in the neck, "You Heartless Leach! The world is rid of you today!!!" Rick said. Nicky heard Rick on his way to the car, he picked up a gun and ran back to the hall where they were, Rick observantly heard his footsteps running back, he then turned Jerry's dead body in front of him as a shield convenient saving himself from Nicky's fire as he quickly took the gun from Jerry's corpse and shot Nicky in the Head. Rick had killed both Jerry and Nicky.

The Police cars were steady approaching the Kidnappers Den when they saw a man with blood stains on his shirt carrying a boy in his arms, it was Rick in tears carrying Billy's corpse towards them, as they seized the boy from him and apprehending him immediately.
