The Play
Roman peaked into the audience. Just as he suspected it looked like the whole town was there. Roman just hoped Dirk was doing what he said he would. Keeping a look-out.
"The play starts in ten minutes! Let's make this a success!" Laura shouted to everyone.
"You nervous?" Joan asked Roman. The theater boy took a deep breath.
"It's a full house," Came his response.
"Don't worry," They told him. "You'll be great. I know it. Rehearsal was a success and the play will be too." Joan smiled. "I'm going to find my seat." They walked off.
"Places people!" One of the tech guys shouted. Everyone was rushing around. Roman got to his spot just as the curtain raised.
"Here we go," He mumbled to himself before smiling to the audience.
~~~~~~~~~~~'
Roman smiled as the curtains closed. Success. Everyone applauded and quite a few stood up.
"Good job everyone!" Laura was smiling. "It was perfect."
"Go out and celebrate!" Someone shouted walking off.
"Not too hard," The director countered. A couple people chuckled. Roman's phone went off. He answered.
"I saw the teacher," Dirk said before Roman could say anything.
"You did? So they showed up?" Roman couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, I need to talk to you more in person. I don't want to talk about this over the phone," Dirk told him. "I'll meet you at the park in fifteen minutes." He hung up the phone.
"Hey Roman," Someone called him. "You going to party with us?"
The fanciful boy shook his head. "Not this time I have something important to do." He walked out of the theater and headed towards the park.
Roman quickly glanced around the grass and spotted his old friend.
"So what did you need to tell me?" Roman said walking up to him.
"You have to talk to the boy alone." Dirk had a serious look on his face.
"Yeah I know that,"
"ALONE. Meaning no one else around."
"What are you saying."
"Kidnap the boy. I'll help you."
"Are you sure?" Roman questioned. "I don't want to hurt him. I only want to ask him about his biological father."
"Think about this Roman. His father could very well be a murder, not to mention he is now adopted. And if his adopted parents know about that then they will be watching him very closely. Plus they never seem to let him out of their sight."
"So when would we kidnap him...if we did?"
"I have abilities and friends, remember?" Dirk told Roman.
"I don't know..."
"Do you want to talk to him or not?" Dirk started sounding desperate.
"Today is the ten-year anniversary of when your grandfather died. Are you not mad? Do you not want revenge? All we have to do is take him long enough to ask him questions. They won't even know he's gone."
"When would we do it?" Roman still seemed hesitant.
"School is on Monday. No doubt that they will send him, probably with the teacher that adopted him."
"So as soon as he starts school?"
"No, we have to wait and watch. I need help with some of my other friends. I understand if you don't want to get involved in this, but I will call you when we have him. Okay?"
"uh...okay? But promise there will be no harm. Remember a simple questioning then he gets brought right back." Roman told Dirk. Dirk nodded.
"I'll talk to you again later," Dirk walked off leaving Roman alone with his thoughts. Was he really going to do this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~''
Patton smiled at Virgil. The teen really liked the play and thought it was a wonderful birthday present. But now he was asleep in the back of the car.
"He's something isn't he?" Patton asked Logan. The teacher smiled and nodded keeping his eyes on the road.
"He's smart. But, I was thinking," Patton continued. "about sending him to school. Of course he would have you, but I don't know how much he knows."
"That would be an excellent idea. I'd have to talk to the school administrators and see of we can set something up."
"We also have that appointment with Dr. Picani next Wednesday."
"Yes, I remember. I won't be able to get time off. My class is doing an exam and I have to be there for it." Logan said. The vehicle pulled into the driveway.
"We can talk more about it later. After all we have all weekend, but for now, let's get this tired kiddo to his bed." Patton said getting out of the car. Logan nodded and went to unlock the front door.
