Toni was sitting on the bed, after school when she got a text from a random number.

Toni got off her bed and went to her closet, pulling out a box. She grabbed it and her keys, making her way to her car. To avoid questioning, she had to hurry out the house. When she got in the car, she instantly drove away and pulled over to the side, realizing that she didn't have a place to meet with this random person.

Toni pulled out of her parking space and drove 15 minutes to the park and waited. She waited for about 15 minutes before she started to get worried. This is what was keeping her waiting...

Cheryl was taking a nap when she heard the door open. She opened her eyes a bit, being met with the guy walking towards her. "Get up. We're leaving," He said, standing as if he were a soldier. Cheryl looked at him and shook her head. "Please don't kill me," Cheryl said, sitting up from her current position. The man huffed and leaned against the wall.

"I didn't say I was going to kill you. I said, get up. We're leaving. Get the hell up!" He said, his voice making Cheryl flinch. "I don't want to die. Please don't hurt me," Cheryl said, looking at the man. The guy's patience was running thin, and the only thing to get Cheryl out of the room was if he handled her himself. He walked over to the redhead and grabbed her arm, resulting in a scream from Cheryl.

He took her off the bed and led her to the room's exit. Cheryl was screaming, trying to get someone's attention, which wouldn't work. "Stop! Please!" Cheryl screamed. The person let her go and stood behind her. "Go," he spoke. Cheryl turned around to him and looked at him with a confused look. "Go! Damn," he cursed. Cheryl flinched and started to walk.

They walked to the car and Cheryl got in the back. When she guy got in, he looked at Cheryl through the rearview and started to speak, "If you try anything, you'll regret it." he said, reading Cheryl's mind. Cheryl nodded and put her seatbelt on. They drove about 25 minutes to the park and Cheryl saw Toni's convertible by the entrance. "Don't hurt her," Cheryl said, thinking that he was going to hurt Toni.

"I never said I was," he said, getting out the car. He opened the door for Cheryl and they walked to Toni's car. Toni watched as the car pulled up behind her and she got the exact amount of money out. She also made sure the tracking device on the money tape was working. The two people walked to Toni's car, being faced with a brunette who was now standing outside the car, leaning on it.

"Give me her, first," Toni said, holding the money in her hand. The guy looked at Cheryl and then at Toni, seeing the anger in Toni's eyes. "No, I won't-" he started to say, but was cut off by Toni. "You must really be dumb. Why the hell would I come all the way here for her and not give you the money? Give me her and you get your money. You're making this hard on yourself," Toni said, looking at the man. She didn't look at Cheryl directly, but she knew Cheryl was looking at her.
