How to the main characters in "Victory Lap" (Alison, Kyle and the Kidnapper) compare?

I'm sorry, compare in what way?

Alison is fifteen, imaginative and optimistic.

Kyle, the hero, is an obedient, young man, who strives to do the right thing, even when it conflicts with what he's been told by his parents. Running track is his passion.

The kidnapper is manipulative and deceptive. He is organized, and yet, his plans are thwarted by a boy.
