Chapter 16 Like a Dream I Never Want to Wake From

Authors Note: Edited Copy 5/9/14

The black van came to a stop at the gas station on some random highway. Kacey woke up on the floor in the back of the van. She overheard voices saying "I'm going in the store to get pain relievers for the girl. I'm also going to get some food for the long car ride."

"You can take a dump now. No more whining." A different person said.

"You guys were hitting a the pot holes!" Ian yelled.

Ian left to use the bathroom and the other guy left to pump gas.

The van doors closed from both sides. Kacey listened to them walk off. She jumped up and took her blind fold off. She shook Josh and he groaned in pain.

"Joooosh! Wake up! It's time to get the heck out of here!" Kacey said shaking him.

"Kacey what are you doing here? And get out of what?"Josh asked confused.

"Arg! We have no time for questions! Mac will be back!" Kacey yelled at him.

"Huh?" Josh asked even confused.

"Mac has us both locked up in back of his van!" Kacey desperately explained.

All the memories of earlier today flashed though Josh's mind and he finally remembered what happened. Josh sat up rubbing the right side of his head where dry blood was. Josh winced in pain.

"Okay. I think I got a plan. When Ian comes back, I will bang on the side of the van saying I need to pee; then when he opens the back door we jump out and run." Kacey said.

"Good plan; but one thing. We don't where the heck we are. We need to buy time so Jayden can pick us up." Josh said.

"True. I told Jayden to track my phone. He said he should find us within a day." Kacey said.

"Okay, then we wait a day and make a different plan." Josh said.

"Oh and by the way; did those idiots forget to tie you up again?" Josh laughed.

"Yes, they did." Kacey laughed along with Josh.

"Good we fight them off when Jayden locates us." Josh said smirking.

"Mhm.." Kacey nodded but knew she wouldn't  be able to.

"Here let me loosen up the ropes they tied you up with." Kacey said changing the subject.

Kacey didn't  want Josh to worry about her broken wrist. It was just numb at the moment.

"Okay." Josh said turning around to Kacey.

Kacey loosened up the tight butterfly knot around his hands and ankles the best that she could. Kacey and Josh heard foot steps coming toward the van. She tried to loosen up the rope more, but her swollen left wrist started to gain feeling again but she bit her bottom lip to not yelp in pain.

Kacey whispered to Josh "I need to go do something."

After that Josh nodded and laid back down as if he was still knocked out. Kacey banged on the side of the doors.

A loud bang hit back from the outside of the van. Kacey moved back, a bit scared.

"Stop banging on van back there!" Ian yelled.

"I need to use the bathroom." Kacey said.

"Well your going to have to wait, Mac is in line to check out." Ian said.

"I'll be quick. And I don't know if I can hold it." Kacey fake whined.

There was an exaggerated sigh outside and then the back doors unlocked and Kacey already slipped back on her blind fold. Ian took off her blind fold and pulled her out the van. Ian walked Kacey to the rest room while holding a switch blade behind her incase she tried to run.
