Chapter 1: Claire's House Or Kidnap

Ring! 

Ring!

My phone started ringing. It was Claire. "Hey, Claire what's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come over today?"

"Sure. What time?"

"I was thinking about one. I still have a few chores to do."

"Okay. I'll see you then. Bye."

I read my book until it was time to go to Claire's house. Finally, it's twelve thirty and I leave since I'm walking to Claire's house. On my way there I pass a park. There aren't any kids there. Odd. Then I hear the bushes ruffling. Must just be the wind. But it's not windy outside. I hear it again. I better get out of here.

I start running. Then, someone grabs me and puts a cloth over my mouth and ties my wrists together. I try to defend myself. I kick my legs and swing my fists. They start pulling me towards a black van. When we get close enough, I get thrown in. I smash my knees and chest on the hard metal floor. I turn my body over and see another girl. She too, has her mouth and wrists wrapped up. The person slammed the door shut. 

Whoever captured us was dumb enough to tie our wrists in front of our bodies. I rip off the cloth then, the girl does the same. We both know to keep quiet. I scoot over to girl and we help each other untie our arms. I try to use sign language to tell her that when then person comes, we need to attack and run. Good thing she understands. 

We start to slow down and wait for the door to open. It opens and we jump and start kicking at our kidnapper. He doesn't let us go very far. I now know it's a man because I can see his figure is larger than a woman. He grabs us both and takes us inside an old building. A skyscraper.
