Taken

Zoey (Chapter 21)

                                               

So do C.I.A. agents usually hug and laugh before they arrest potentialy dangerous terrorists?  Because that's exactly what John and Chris were doing and it was freaking me out.

They seemd to have forgotten all about me, so there I stood, lonely and confussed as hell.  Then I slowly caught on.

As I looked closer at the men, I realized I had seen them somewhere before.  I thought back to figure it out, then I realized that they were in the picture that Michael had shown me when we he told me what was happening.  They were my father and brother.

Holy shit.

"We thought you guys had been captured by Al Qaeda!"  John exclaimed.  "What happened?"

Carson or Dad, whatever I'm supossed to callhim, looked around.  "Maybe we should go somewhere more private to talk."

"Yeah, of course.  Where did you have in mind?"

"Daniel and I have a place about 15 minutes away from here.  It"s safe there."

"It's not bugged?"

"No, but we check every time we go there just to be sure."

"Then let's go."

"Uh, guys?"  I decided to speak up.  All four men looked at me.  Carson looked at me with an expression I couldn't read.  I looked away from him and at John. "How do we know there aren't any bad guys waiting at their hotel.  I mean, just because it's not bugged doesn't mean people aren't watching."

"Our room isn't being watched, we've earned their trust," Daniel spoke up.  "There's nothing to worry about."  He paused for a moment.  "By the way, who are you?"

Uh oh.

How was I supossed to answer that?  'Hi, I'm your long lost sister that you've never met because the man standing next to you apparenty liked you more than me.'  Something told me that wouldn't cut it.

“Maybe we should wait until we go your hotel to make introductions.”  Chris said looking around.

“I am not going to that hotel!  You guys might be stupid enough to believe…whatever this is, but I’m not.  I mean, whose trust did they earn?  We still don’t know exactly why they’re here if they weren’t captured and I think that would be good information to know if we’re going any where with them.”

Carson sighed.  “I can see where you’re coming from, but I’m afraid we can’t talk about what we do out here.  We have to go someplace private.”

“We could go to to that one place just outside of town.  It’s not a completely private setting, but no one there would suspect us of anything.”  Daniel suggested.

“I know where you’re taling about, but,” Carson turned to me, “You have to trust us to show you there.”

“I guess I can do that…but we take our sperate cars.”

“Right, that’s fine.”  Carson looked impressed but freaked out at the same time.  I figured he prbbly thought I was paranoid, but  I wasn’t taking any more chances this trip.  I looked over at John and Chris to see if I could tell what they were thinking.  All I saw were them looking at me jaws dropped. 

“Alright, let’s go.”  John said.  “We’ll follow you guys.”

“Okay,” Daniel said.  “Just make sure nobody follows you!”

We got in our separate cars and the ride began.
