Cortney: A Rebellious Story of Love and War

THE ACT

Previously on Cortney...I am going to get out of here alive, so if this doesn't come off, I must put this in a discreet place where it's hidden... He leaned forward and put his hands on the desk, so I couldn't go anywhere... It looked as if Thomas wanted to say something, but an alarm went off, as the alarm went off, I saw a figure running towards the forest... I want you to go and capture that prisoner... I  am absolutely shocked at his request; this kid knows that I just came here right? That is the only reason why I stood up and walked toward the window, I opened it and hopped outside... These people are more dangerous than they seem because they have a kid leading them and kids don't give up so easily...

I walked toward the window, I opened it and hopped outside, as I was running towards the commotion, I quickly took my hair out of the ponytail.

I stooped down and rubbed dirt on my hands and face, if there is one thing, I know about people it's that they are suckers for little girls that look like they can't handle themselves.

I feel bad about what I am about to do, but sacrifice comes before anything good. I am repeating this to myself, so I won't feel too bad.

As I am getting closer to the prisoner, I realized that the guards that were originally chasing after this guy were so far in the distance like they need exercise.

It must be those happy meals they ate earlier.

I was only a few feet away from the prisoner, he could see me coming but he didn't stop running.

So, I speed up my pace and caught up with him. The man looked surprised, but he never stopped running.

"Are you okay, are you escaping too, you can come with me?"

I feel so bad right now, I feel like my stomach is turning inside out by the guilt. I swallowed it and told the prisoner.

"You need to come back! Please! They said if you didn't come back, they're going to kill my sister, then go after my parents."

The look on the prisoner's face was stunned and in total shock. He stopped running and just stood there. I didn't know what else to do so I kept up my act.

"They also said you wouldn't last long in the woods because of the wolves, you won't last a night! Please!"

He looked behind us, at the guards only a few yards behind, then look at the woods. As you look further into the woods the darker and deeper it got.

Then he looked at me, with those eyes. The eyes that meant that I succeeded, that he fell into the trap.

"Okay, I will go back with you, I know I wouldn't last long in the woods but it's better than getting killed in there."

I felt bad for this guy, but if I thought that he would survive and find a way to tell the authorities, like the army or navy I would have let him escape.

It wouldn't help if it were the cops, I bet they have them wrapped around their finger. That's why to tear this place down you must make a few sacrifices.

I learned that from a movie.

As we were waiting at the edge of the woods for the guards to catch up. The prisoner looked at me and stooped down.

"Listen! These guys are dangerous they have the FBI and police wrapped around their fingers. You look smart and you run fast.

I am going to be selfish if you survive. Escape! Anybody that comes here never makes it out alive.

The Army and the CIA know that the WillyPilly Mafia exists, but no one ever made it out alive to leave clues. Make it out for me."

I am stunned, it was like this guy knew that I was going to play them. It looked like he was about to say something else, but then the guards finally caught up.
