I helped my brother and sister out of the closet and set them on the bed. "What the heck happened?" My sister looked up at me, a choked expression on her face, "Jason... He took us and told us we had better not tell anyone or he'd kill us!" She fell into my arms and I held her while she cried. As she did, I look at my brother, "Alright, spill it. What did Jason do?" My brother looked at me and looked down, "He grabbed us while we were laying on the couch and cut us with his knife. He said we were being bad. Afterwards he threw us into the closet.." "How long have you guys been in there?" I asked half shocked and half worried. "Maybe two or three days." DAYS? I thought, how could you leave them in there for two or three days? No food, no water, no restroom! I guess my sister had stopped crying on me but I was too pissed to notice. I grabbed them and took them to the diner across where me and Justin had just come from. When we got there they ordered about four burgers, two sets of fries and two large milkshakes. Those poor kids were starving cause when they got their food, they ate it like it was their last meal ever. I felt so mad at myself that I wasn't there for them, to help them. Maybe if I'd been there, none of this would've ever happened, to them at least. When they finished up their food we went back to the house, "Pack your things, we can't stay here. It's not safe." My brother looked at my as if I was crazy, "Uh? Where are we gonna stay?" "I've got this friend across the street, and I'm sure that when I tell him what happened to you guys, he'll be more then welcome to sneak us in." My brother and sister gave a hopeful look and ran up to their rooms. A few minutes later they both came down with two backpacks each. "C'mon, let's hurry before Jason gets back." I said somewhat quickly. We walked out and made sure Jason wasn't pulling up and ran across the street to Justin's house. He opened the door and gave me a puzzled look. I said, "Hey, wanna do me a dangerous but amazing favor?"
