I sat there staring into space as Mr. Tacio calls on me. He says my name so many times and I hear him I just choose not to respond. I look out the window to try and zone out the teacher. I see a dog chasing a plastic bag and a car zoom past then I see something I wish I hadn't I seen, a girl about 18 and a man about 30, the man is taking the girl off school campus. Wait!! I know her that's Jessica. Who sits behind me in Calculus. I don't know what to do my hands are shaking should I tell the teacher, but then he would know I wasn't paying attention I choose to raise my hand.
"Ah yes it seems Miss Thompson has the answer." Mr. Tacio said, but my lips say words I do not want them to.
"May I use the restroom?" Crap!. What did I just do?
"I suppose... but I expect an answer when I come back Jenna." Mr.Tacio hesitates, and I rush out of my seat and leave the class before he can change his mind. I walk down the hall I pass classes full of kids and can't stop thinking about Jessica. I made it to the restroom and start questioning what I'm going to do. I splash some water on my face and tell myself that I am going to save her. I leave the restroom walking and then I move to a slow jog, I'm on the campus now with no plan I'm just an 18 year old girl. I can't stop a man from taking a girl. I see her. He's putting her into his truck. I have to do something. My head is spinning I feel like I just got off the merry-go-round I have no choice I run faster then faster and the next thing I know I'm in the the bed of his truck. Oh  god oh god what did I do. I'm not a cop nor a person of authority. How in the world am I gonna stop him.  Just as I was saying this the driver slammed on the brakes and I hit my head on the side of the truck and the driver stepped out and I get a glimpse of his face before I was out cold.
