Wayward

Safe and Sound

"Wait, so your parents are never home? You are 17, and your dad leaves you alone to travel the world with your brother; and your mom?" I nodded and reached for another chip, we had been talking for an hour or so and he had brought in water and more snacks. I finally found out his names Isax, and he has been in this "business" his whole life, but never really gotten into it.

"Yeah, he does a lot of movies. My mom works in Africa with wildlife, so I get to talk to her every once and awhile." He sighed and set down his juice pouch.

"What about your friends?"

"Well there's Karson, she's bipolar but when she is on your side she is the best supporter you can have. Alilith is the one who escaped, she is boy crazy and self centered but the funniest girl I've ever met. And last is Kira, she is the toughest, and most confident girl I've seen."

"And you?" I frowned at him.

"Me? I'm Haddi." I shrugged my shoulders and popped another chip in my mouth.

"There is more than just "I'm Haddi." tell me, and what are you to the group?" He sat up and leaned forward in his chair.

"Well no ones ever asked, I was always known as Colton's little sister. Or the girl who sits in the corner and doesn't talk."

"Wait, so your brother is famous and does movies around the world?" I nodded.

"And TV shows." Isax raised his eyebrow and looked at me.

"Would I know him?"

"If you watch Teen wolf or Arrow, Colton Haynes. You know my last name, Haynes." Isax's eyes widened and he smiled.

"Oh yeah! I have seen him on TV." I rolled my eyes and pulled my knees up to my chest.

"Big surprise." Isax looked at his watch and back to the door.

"Weird." I looked at the door and back at him.

"What?" He opened his phone and started texting rapidly.

"No payments have come in and your friends haven't responded, and because of the escape we moved the deadline down to 5 hours."

"So what you are saying is my time is up?" He looked up and nodded slowly. "And absolutely no word from anyone?" He shook his head and his lips tightened into a thin line.

"I'll go check what's going o-" As Isax stood up the guy from before burst in.

"You lying bitch." He crossed the room and raised his hand, I flinched at the contact from his hand on my cheek. Everything was happening so fast, I sat up and saw Isax arguing with him. They were waving their hands rapidly, I caught a couple words but a lot of them were spoken in another language.

"Heizer, let's think about this." Isax watched Heizer pace back and forth.

"No Isax, they don't want her. She's worthless to us, we put ourselves in danger and she knows too much about us." Isax started shaking his head as Heizer pulled out his gun.

"Heizer if we kill her they will look for us, but if we run now they won't find us." I watched him contemplate the idea, I felt my heart racing. I could be dead in a manner of seconds, but for these guys I would be just another life.

"Isax we have to come out on top, if she survives the boss is going to have our heads. We have already let one escape when we were not suppose to let that happen." Isax glanced at me, I couldn't tell if he was panicking like me or not. He seemed to have a cool, calm, collected mind.

"Remember what happened last time we made a decision without thinking about it?"

"Ugh, I don't think this is the same as killing Belgium's King's daughter and being wanted dead or alive." My eyes widened and I could feel my chest tighten. "Isax you need to think about this, WE WILL DIE." He pointed the gun at me and looked at Isax. "We have too." I watched Isax drop his head.
