forty five.

***Alex's POV***

The pounding of the endless rain echoes throughout the abandoned laboratory. The rain must have been the reason I woke up. We were brought here late last night, and it hasn't stopped raining since.

Since I woke up first, I took the liberty of looking around. Quietly, I opened the door to the room we were being kept in and entered what looked like the main hall. A small amount of light was given by high windows. Well, that means no getting out through a window, I think to myself. 

I continue walking until I reach a large open area that holds desks and cabinets. I don't dare look inside of any of them.

After exploring for what seems like an hour, I find my way back to our room. I find Victoria and Kayla awake, but Bailey and Lauren still sleeping.

Victoria and Kayla light up when they see me.

"We thought he had killed you or something!" Kayla says and runs over to hug me. Victoria does the same. The commotion we make is all Bailey and Lauren needed to wake up.

"Man, that ground sure is uncomfortable," Bailey says.

"You ain't kidding," Kayla says back and we all sit in a huddled circle.

After maybe 10 minutes of talking and being scared, the door to our room opens. Two bodies are thrown inside, and before we could say a word, the door is slammed shut again. I hear keys jingle as someone locks us in.

We all stand up to get a better look at the bodies. It looks like two more girls, just judging by their hair: short black hair and long blonde hair.

The black haired one groans and pushes herself up. When her eyes find us, she jumps back.

"Jessica, look, there's more," she says, nudging the hunched blonde who's pulling herself up from the ground.

"But he said we were the only ones..." the blonde says, but trails off when she sees us. They both look very bruised and dirty.

"Hi, I'm Alex Matthews," I say.

"Oh, I know you! You're Dallas Winston's girl," the black haired girl says with a smile. I smile back and nod.

"How long have you guys been here?" the blonde girl - Jessica - asks.

"We got kidnapped last night," Lauren says. "I'm Lauren Jameson, by the way."

"I'm Evelyn Anderson, and this is Jessica Georgeson. We've been here for 4 days," Evelyn says.

"Jessica Georgeson?" Victoria asks.

"Yeah?" Jessica asks.

"I'm Victoria Jameson, from English?" Victoria exclaims. Jessica's face lights up.

"Oh my gosh, hi!" Jessica says. They hug each other briefly.

"This is Bailey Cade and Kayla Jackson," I introduce. Evelyn and Jessica say hi to everyone.

"We're glad that there are more girls," Evelyn says. We all nod our agreement.

Maybe this won't be so bad if there are other girls.

I was wrong. It's a living hell here.

Everything was fine at first. It kept raining, and the sound was sort of calming.

Once the sun was set, though, things began to grow worse.

It started when the man came into the room and took Lauren. She fought against him but he eventually grabbed her and pulled her away. She came back 20 minutes later, painted black and blue from head to toe in bruises. Her clothes were torn and her lip was busted. She hobbled over against the wall and sat, tears streaming down her face. She took deep breaths in attempts to calm down.

With everyone being so concerned of Lauren, it gave him a perfect time to grab me.

He proceeded to drag me to a table where he tied my hands and feet so I couldn't get away. He took care of my face with his hands but used a baseball bat on my shoulders and legs. He hit my elbow so hard I could hear the bone shattering. I screamed out in pain as he finished what he was doing. Then he grabbed me and dragged me back into the room. I couldn't tell who he took next because I was hunched in a ball, panting and crying. I eventually pulled myself over to Lauren and laid against her. I opened my eyes and found Kayla laying out the blankets to form 7 beds for all of us. Lauren and I quickly found ours and laid down. 

The man proceeded to beat all of us. Following me was Jessica, then Bailey, then Victoria, then Kayla. None of them but Victoria showed signs of broken bones, but we were all pretty positive Victoria broke her knee. We just laid down and tried to make the pain go away.

Finally, it was Evelyn's turn.

We all waited for her return, but she seemed to be taking longer than we did.

The 20 minutes it took each of us soon became 2 hours, and Evelyn still hadn't returned.

The other girls found a way to all sit together in a circle, probably all thinking the same thing:

When are we getting out of here?

***Two-Bit's POV***

The second I found the note, I sprinted to the Curtis house.

Someone had gone into Alex's house while the gang and I were out and taken all of the gang girls. Somehow Bailey was able to leave a note.

When I burst through the door, everyone stood up immediately.

"Someone took the girls!" I say, completely out of breath. I wave the note around and Darry takes it from my hands.

After scanning it, he turns a pale color and replies, "He's right."

"Well, why are we standing around! We have to go get them!" Ponyboy yells.

I see Soda stand up. 

"Let's go!" he says.

"He's right! There's no time to waste!" Johnny says. We all run out to Darry's truck and pile inside. He puts the keys in the ignition and begins to drive.

The only thing is that we don't know who took them or where they are.

But I wouldn't care if it was the president of the United States himself. We are getting our girls back.
