Jade is lying on the floor with no top on, unconscious. 

Keri is handcuffed to a post in the middle of the room.

And Ruby, she’s in her underwear, on the bed and her hand handcuffed above her head onto the bed frame. 

I was frozen. Stuck. Staring at my friends. Then at my dad in disgust.

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” I screamed. But I already knew the answer.

“Did you get some tips off Olly or something, you SICK old man.” exaggerating the SICK.

I had set a code word for held if I needed Conor, I was trying not to say ‘you need help’, As he would come all guns blazing ready to take a bullet for me if he had to. Conor was the sweetest person I knew, the kindest, I really don't know who I would have managed without him. I was interrupted from my thoughts..

“I wouldn’t speak to your father like that” he said. 

“You’re not my dad.” 

“Ok well, I wouldn’t speak to me like that if you want your friends back?” 

“We made a deal. No going back.” only if he knew the real plan that we had.

“where are the keys to Keri and Ruby’s handcuffs? I don’t want no shit. Give me my friends back” I demanded. I knelt down to Jade who was coming back to consciousness.

“Jade, Jade, it’s me, Rhea. Please wake up” I said softly. I looked around looking for a top, I saw one across the room. Jade was now sitting up, I chucked a top at her, no time for sympathy and heart to heart talks, we need to get out of here!

“Put this on and wait by the door, ready to run.” I whispered.

There was two keys on the table, one had a ’K’ and one had a ’R’. I took the one with the ’K’ and walked over to Keri who was on the floor, she looked so fragile. I turned to see dad in the kitchen just staring at me, I just carried on, I wanted to get out of here. I took the handcuffs off her, 

“Wait by Jade, be ready to run. Everything is going to be ok” I whispered. 

I picked up some clothes for Ruby, carefully put them on, she looked the worst out of all three. I took her handcuffs off her to see her wristes cut and blood everywhere, and whispered the same as I did to Keri. Then she got up and as quick as she could (which wasn't very fast) and walked over to the other two.

I was now getting worried, I wasn’t going to get away with it. Dad was looking extremely suspicious, he had one hand behind his back. 

“Look, do you even understand what you have done? They’re only 18 years old, and I’m nearly 18 as well. We shouldn’t have to go through all this.” I said calmly not trying to annoy him. 

“You know nothing. You’re just a pathetic little girl. Who knows NOTHINGG”

“YOU REALLY WANNA GO THERE. I KNOW YOU’RE A SICK MAN AND NEED TO SORT YOUR LIFE OUT!” I shouted, walking back wards towards the door. My hand was on the door handle. Dad moved his hand from behind his back, he was holding a small knife. 

“WHAT DO YOU THINK IM GOING TO DO. LET YOU GET OFF WITH RAPING MY FRIENDS AND KIDDNAPPING THEM. WELL YOU’VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING.” I opened the door. Gestured the girl to slowly go out. Dad slowly walked towards me, he still had the knife. 

“What did you say?” He said through gritted teeth. 

“I said, you’re not going to get away with it.” I said.
