Between Them -Peter Rumancek & Roman Godfrey

Chapter 20

Roman and I made our way into the mansion, quickly as we saw an unknown car in the driveway.

We ran inside to see Shelley whose face was light blue, and her head was down.

"Shelley." I said as I held her.

"Oh, brilliant!" One of the men said as they saw Roman and I.

"It's OK, Shel." Roman said.

"Ho-ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"

"Roman... you're awake?" Letha asked as he took a couple steps forward.

"Stay back. What are you doing?" The smaller man asked.

The bigger guy, stood behind Roman holding the gun to his head.

"You have a gun pointed at the back of your head. Do not, repeat, do not turn around!" He said.

"Roman, be careful." Letha told him.

"You think I won't?"

"Put the gun in your mouth." Roman said as he turned.

"Come back here! What the fuck are you doing?" Smaller guy said as the bigger guy put his gun in his mouth.

"Uncuff him." Roman said.

"Screw you!"

"If he's still handcuffed by the time I count to three, pull the trigger." He told the bigger guy.

"One. Two!"

"OK, OK!" The smaller guy said going to Peter too uncuff him.

"Just calm down, buddy." He said before turning to Roman.

"What the fuck, man?" The guy held his gun at Roman.

"Come here." Roman said as the guy went too him.

"Get in your car and take the 79 to the West Virginia state line. When you get there... you can take the gun out of your mouth, And you... will punch yourself in the face hard enough to break your nose.
Bye now." Roman said.

"What the fuck?" The smaller guy asked walking out with the other.

"Roman." Letha said as Roman quickly wiped his nose.

"Roman, what did you do to them?" She asked as Roman turned.

"I just suggested they relocate." Roman simply said.

"You're not safe here." Roman told Peter.

"No shit." He replied.

"I have an idea... you should go change." Letha told Peter as she took out her phone.

"Castiel!" I yelled out.

"Hey Shell, it's okay." Roman told his sister.

Castiel came down, as I smiled at him.

"We're gonna be gone for a while. So can you watch Shelley." I asked.

He nodded before looking over at Shelley.

He smiled going over to her.

"Hello Shelley. I'm Castiel." He said as she looked through her bangs.

"It's okay. Want to watch tv? Scooby Doo seems to be very popular these days."

Shelley nodded before following Castiel to her room.

The four of us pilled into the SUV as Roman drove.

Letha and I were at the back talking.

"So, how was your date with Simon?" I asked.
