Ellery's pov:

"GUYS!!!!!! STOP FREAKING OUT!!!!" Bob yelled. Then all of them started to quiet down. "Pick up the girl. Bring her to headquarters. Then we can interrogate her."

"What about Ryan?!?" A girls voice said worryingly.

"Uh..... I'll stay here and investigate. Now go to headquarters!!!!"

"Yes sir Bob sir." The teens mumbled. Then they picked me up and started running again. I tried to get out of their hold, but the teens were surprisingly strong.

It wasn't long before the teens needed to double check on their directions. "So it's left, right, left, left, right, left, right? Or right, left, right, left, right, right, left, right, left, right?"

"Ummm..... the first one."

"left, right, left, left, right, left, right?"

"Yeah..... probably...."

The teens ran really fast. I could tell that we were in the woods because I could hear birds and frogs and other woodsy noises. Then the teens stopped.

*CREAK!*

Was that a door? It sure sounded like one.

"Come on! Get her to the jail room."

NO!
Not a jail room!
I tried to scream, but that Bob guys tape is powerful.

"Mhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Help! Mahmahh!" I tired to scream for help... but I failed. The teens started walking again and suddenly it got cold. We probably just entered the 'headquarters'.

*CREAK!*

The door just closed... great.

The boys started walking again and it was ten minutes before they stopped. Yes... I counted.

"Jail room one? Or two? Or three? What about-"

"Shut up! Obviously jail room one."

"Ok... gosh."

*THUD!*

Ouch... landed on the same arm as the last time they dropped me.

"Close the door...... and lock it."

Oh no...

*Slam!*

*Click!*

"Should we interrogate her now?" A deep voice asked.

"No, we should wait for Bob. Spray the mist."

Umm... mist?
What does that mean?

Then I felt liquid rain down on me. It smelled like lavender and maybe... syrup? Then I got really sleepy. Then I fell asleep.

I was having a crazy dream about my parents.... I was lying on the floor in a jail room and my parents were outside.

"Ellery! Why are you in there?"

"Come out!"

"We are so worried. Please come home!"
