The Secret Room (book 1 in the Secret Room Trioligy

Chapter 2

John wakes up with his hands tied behind a chair and his legs are shackled. His mouth is duct taped, and he sees blood dripping from his lip. He's in a room with 4 painted black walls that are starting to chip. A single light bulb hanging from a wire in the center of a ceiling. He hears two voices outside the door. Then the door flies open. There are two figures that walked in with black ski masks over their heads. They're about 5 foot 9 inches. "I see you have a a woken from your sleep, you have been out for 6 hours" Said one of the figures. That person sounds like a women because her voice is so high pitched. The other one has not spoken. "You shouldn't have came down here young man, now your never going to be able to leave since you have found our hideout" said the other figure which had a way deeper voice so I think he's the man. As they're babbling I'm thinking on a way to get out of here. I just need a way to untie the ropes and unshackle the handcuffs. "HEY ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME" yelled the deeper voiced person. "Of course i am" I replied." Then answer the question" said the high pitched figure." Can you repeat the question please" I respond. I finally untie the ropes, they haven't noticed it yet." You had your chance" said the deeper man angrily. He picks up a bat in the corner of the room which I didn't notice earlier. He swings it at me. I hesitate and grab it. They are so surprised the girl falls to the ground and the man tries to swing I duck, forgetting I have the shackles on I fall to the ground. I bite the guy in the leg. He yells." OWCHHH". He falls to the ground in pain, he doesn't notice the keys fall out of his pockets, I grab them so fast I forgot I grabbed them for a second. I'm free finally. While one of them is passed out and the other is trying to stop the bleeding in his leg i'm trying to find a way out. I quickly pull off the duct tape, and start looking for a way out of this dump. I try all the keys in the door knob and none of them work. I walk back to the chair and the figures are gone. I set the keys on the table and walk over to the chair. I hear a "SLAM". I turn around and the keys are gone. I guess I missed a key I thought to myself. I run over to the door and it's stuck like something is holding it stuck. Now what am I going to do I though to myself. There is nothing in this room except a old cardboard box, chair, table, and some rope. I got to get myself out of here or else I'm good as dead I thought to myself nervously. "Hey there is a vent in the ceiling, maybe I'll be able to climb out" I said excitedly.
