The Box of Little Critter

Chapter Nineteen

"Come on Max step on it!" Sarah yelled, leaning so far forward in her seat, she almost wasn't sitting at all. Adam was in the backseat, trying so hard to remain calm, but also not looking away from the tall building Sarah pointed out. He was praying that Tianna was ok and nothing more would happen after this.

Even though Tianna was stuck on top of a building that might as well be a mini skyscraper, she was too afraid to move. All she could do was hold on for dear life. She did her very best to fight back tears. Wondering how all of this is even happening and why it's happening. Critter climbed up and looked down at Tianna with a weird smile.

"Do not worry," he said. "You are safe up here."

"GET ME DOWN!" Tianna yelled, ignoring Critter's comment. He just rolled his eyes.

"Why must you not trust me?" Tianna just glared.

"I am so over this," she muttered. Critter sighed, looking around. He shook his head then looked back at Tianna.

"Do not worry you are safe here."

"Just a little closer!" Sarah called out, pointing toward the top of the building.

"Is she up there?" asked Max. Adam and Sarah both nodded.

"Hurry up. Park right by the building," Adam said without looking away from the window. Max turned the vehicle and parked right next to the building. With no hesitation, Adam burst the door wide open and hopped out of the vehicle and started running.

"ADAM WAIT!" Sarah called out. Adam didn't even look behind him or flinch. Max reached out and put his hand on Sarah.

"It's no use," he said. "He is determined to get Tianna back no matter what."

"So what do we do?"

"We follow him."

Adam was only focused on running to get to the top. This whole situation was too much. He and Tianna never thought something like this would ever happen to them. Adam just wanted this to end. And he had a good idea on how to do that.

Adam finally made it to the top of the building and immediately, there she was. Tianna, looking tired, exhausted, and almost defeated, like the light in her eyes slowly draining. She was tied to a pole/spire on the edge. Adam quickly ran up and grabbed her shoulders, trying to find anything.

"Tianna can you hear me?!" 

After a moment, Tianna slowly started to lift her head to try and meet Adam. However, she struggled a little.

"...Adam?"
