I read over the italic printed words again and again.

I had to....I had to prepare food for 500+ people...for some annual beach party??

I had many different questions in my head, but one of them stood out.

How come the police don't know?

They host this annual thing every year and somehow the police have no clue about it!? And that too, for 500+ people!?

That's insanity. I am finding all this a little hard to believe.

I looked at the back of the letter. It said my name CALLIE being written with a thick marker. There was no doubt about it. This letter was addressed to me.

But why not open the door and give it to me?

Maybe they thought I would be asleep...

I went back to the bed, my eyes barely holding themselves open.

Donnor's criminal look flashed before my eyes, giving me a good shiver as I drifted off to sleep.

I will worry about serving 500+ people tomorrow.

A scratchy sound right outside my room woke me up. I tried opening the door, but it was locked from the outside.

What was this noise? Some sort of a machine being brought in at Donnor's place?

I rolled my eyes, glancing at the letter I had left last night on my bed. Tension settled itself back in my body.

How am I supposed to serve 500+ people when I can't even serve one single person!?

Okay. I admit. I am BAD at cooking. Like really bad. I can't even make noodles. Yeah, I suck. I have zero cooking skills.

I had so many questions. And it all starts with the first one -

WHERE IS THE GODDAMN SHOWER!?

I need a bath! I can't stink around here forever. I refuse to do so.

I sighed.

"Watt!?"

"WATT!?"

"WAAAATT!?"

The door flew open with a bang, making me flinch.

"What's the emergency, you son of a bitch!?"

I muttered something under my breath, facing him with the most Oscar-winning friendly smile ever.

"Watt...look...I understand I am being held captive...

He held up his eyebrows. I continued,

"I mean, I understand I am being held here...in this room.."

"Jesus lady. First Donnor, now YOU. Are you obsessed with correcting phrases or something!?"

I opened my mouth but closed it. He knew about my conversation with Donnor in the office.

"Uh....I just want to have a shower...that's all..."

He shook his head, followed by a huge eye roll.

"Please....I can't stay like this..."

"No. You are not allowed to get out this early."

This early....?

I looked at the clock. It was 6 am.

Woah....

I glanced back at an annoyed Watt.
