A Hostage Situation
Jonathan jostled the girl. "Where do you think you're looking? Don't get any funny ideas, now. No funny business. Anything weird, and I'll kill her without a second thought. There's so many hostages I can use here, after all."
Kieran's eyes snapped back up, sneering at the man.
Jonathan sneered back. He couldn't believe the brat. He already had a hostage on hand, but he was still acting too big for his britches.
Disgust bubbled within the man, knowing that he had the upper hand now, despite how nonchalant Kieran was trying to behave.
He didn't believe that he didn't care about this little girl. Kieran had always been a bit of a bleeding heart, no matter how much he tried to hide it. It had been especially obvious in his younger years, when he hadn't learnt how to shield his emotions from being taken advantage of.
Jonathan never forgot a weakness, and it was definitely coming in handy now.
