"Sorry about that," Kevin said, "I didn't mean to let things get so far, Ijust thought it would be funny if you got a taste of your own-"I rushed forw...rd and planeted a kiss on his lips, overjoyed to see himagain. He'd saved me! Kevin had come back for me after all. Just a shortperiod of time, but everything had changed. He had changed, in my mind ifnot in reality. Why had I never realized how incredibly handsome he was?It was all I could think of. The party, the other girls, they faded intothe. I am told that it hurts, a lot, to have that happen."He looked at me. Then he looked at Ben. He grimaced and sat down. "What do you want to know?" He asked."Tell us your name and your history." Ben said in his usual gruff, deep voice."If I talk, you'll let me live?"I said, "Let's put it more correctly. If you don't talk, I will hurt you and then you'll die. That's a fact. If you talk and tell the truth, you will have a chance to live. Time's up. Either start talking or stand and fight." I am. Like it or not, I reckon you're my witness and I need your dad's help right away; so hurry Will, hurry."I reluctantly did as he asked. My new bullfrog escaped during the commotion and I felt more inclined to find him, not my dad. I heard a siren in the distance, and ran home the rest of the way, worried Dad wouldn't be all that pleased with the whole affair."Thank the good Lord you ain't hurt, son. Now go inside and lock the door in case there's others around," Dad said. "It's going to be okay,. That night was the moment of truth. I was in my kitchen, sitting in mychair, and my parents walked in. It was a quarter after midnight, and mycousin was in the other room, leaving me on my own."I'm sorry you got caught up in all this," my mom said."No, not at all," I said. "I knew Daniel too. I'm only glad I got to seehim before it happened." Well then I'm glad too," she said, sitting down. "That you were here,not that-" I know," I smiled, trying to comfort her. I was scared and sad at thesame.
