Emerald secrecy (#wattys2015)

Chapter 6

I awoke from my dreamless sleep, I yawned and took in the quietness of the house. The house was nice and quiet.

Quiet.

A bit too quiet. I jerked my head up, straining to hear Lisa cooking breakfast or something. Nothing. Being puzzled,
I carefully took off my blanket and sat in my bed.

Listening.

I crept up from my bed and opened my door warily.
I looked around our floor, I could see the kitchen straight ahead. No one was in there. I looked to my left and saw Lisa's door ajar.

"Lisa...Lisa!" I called out gingerly. There was no reply. Accept a little rustle.
I pushed the door open and my eyes widened in horror.
The scene was unexplainable.

The blanket was turned upside down, pillows thrown, the bin turned over,litter spilling out, makeup sprawled across the dressing table, clothes thrown out and hangers lay across the floor.
I heard the rustle again and saw the window opened a bit. I took a tentative step towards the window and saw a note.
A note that was taped on the window.
I read it quickly, slowing down, as there was a couple of words and more numbers.

Call 07238495773
Do it or say goodbye to Lisa

I ripped it of the window, my hand quivering at the sight, I knew I had no choice.
They took her. They.

And there I was, sitting on my bed, hand quivering as I held the piece of paper. My sweaty hands smudging a couple of words, but I could still make them out. My phone was next to me.
I knew I had no choice. Lisa... She must be going through hell right now.

I picked up my phone I dialled in the number. After a few scone I heard ringing, then someone's voice came through.

"You have no idea what kinda trouble you dropped yourself into" the voice was deep and different. I swallowed.
"Anyway...if you want to see Lisa then come at this warehouse"
The voice said the address, then the call cut

That was it, a few words. I didn't even ask about Lisa. I was terrified!
I was utterly confused, how did they find out where I lived? And more importantly why did they take Lisa?!

I knew I had to go to the warehouse, I remembered the address but still wrote it down. Quickly getting changed I took my phone and exited the flat.

I felt the cold air hit my face, it felt so good, it was just a moment to forget everything that was happening. But then reality came crashing down.
The warehouse was that far so I decided I would walk. Little did I know there was a car following me.
I reached there in half an hour. It looked abandoned, suddenly a warm pair of hands gripped mine.
"This way" it was the voice that earlier called me
I nodded in obedience. The man lead me in the entrance which was a large room and in the middle, to my horror , was Lisa

She was sitting in the chair, tape over her mouth and hands. I looked deep into her eyes but all I could see was that she was scared.

Extremely scared.
