Derek refused outright. "You want to use my phone to call the police, don't you? You're pretty smart, kid." "Mister, I just want to play games, not make any calls," Zachary pleaded, his gaze nothing short of genuine. But Derek wasn't so easily fooled. "Shut up. Keep talking, and I'll sew your mouth shut."

Zachary had no choice but to stop talking, scanning the surroundings for any chance to escape. But it quickly became clear that there was none.
