"It would be better for both of us if you didn't." Kidnapping was a messy, complicated business. With murder, he never had to worry about what the victim might recall afterwards. It was done and over, up to the scant evidence to tell the story. The victim couldn't escape, couldn't tell any details. But with kidnapping, there would always been a person to give a description and point a finger. "That's the guy who done it."
The gun pressed into Peter's back as he came close. "Just keep your eyes forward and you'll make it through this." He'd really rather not knock the kid out. It would be easier to make someone walk than to carry their dead weight, especially through a forest. But dead weight was something he was used to.
Zane reached around, as casually as if they were friends, and plucked the cigarette away from the kid. "You won't be needing this where we're going," he said as he tucked the thing between his own lips.
