Even Steven part 7
by
JR Boyd
Steven drove a path he knew well, darting an occasional glance Braden's direction. Although he was curious about what Braden could've been talking about in his sleep, Steven dared not ask. He was still figuring out a way to fill Braden in on some of the details he hadn't yet divulged.
Steven saw a huge elm tree in the distance. The landmark for the only secret he had ever kept from Braden. Steven jerked the wheel, hastily pulling the car off the road before turning to Braden.
Curling his leg into the seat, Steven searched Braden's eyes for something, anything - hope, more understanding...something that would make him feel more at ease.
"Braden, there's a few things I need to tell you."
The puzzled look on Braden's face caused a lump to form in Steven's throat, further delaying the inevitable.
"Well, spit it out." Braden's eyebrows knitted together.
"See that hill?" Steven pointed slowly, sweeping the view up ahead. "And that stretch of land?"
"Yeah."
"It's all Antonio's. Braden, it's about to get real nasty."
"What do you mean?" Braden asked.
"If my hunches are correct, Antonio is bluffing about having a hostage. So far, anyway. The bloody hands in that picture are nothing but a crazy ass photoshop job." Steven's finger pressed the photo. "But the portable stereo in the background? Huge clue. He's had it for years."
"Do you hear that?" Braden slowly rolled the window down.
"Someone's playing the radio." Shit, he was running out of time.
