Call for Help

Chapter 3

Meanwhile...

It is 0200 hours.
Kate sits crying on her bed. She just started dating Chris, her crush since 3rd grade, and the next day she learns he is missing. She hasn't slept in 4 days and has fell into severe depression. She hears a knock at the door. "Kate, Honey, it's Mom. I just wanted to give you some good news but first you have to unlock the door and come out." Kate gets up and unlocks the door. "Good news? Mom, you better not be fucking me over." Her mother is not very happy with her choice of language but she understands what she is going through. "I just received a call from Mrs. Hilswerth. She told me that Chris called from the kidnappers home and the cops are heading over to save him right now." Kate stood astonished. "Did you hear anything else?" Kate asked. "All we know is that the call is still going so the cops could scan it. I would say go listen in, but it would just make you more depressed." Kate didn't understand. She walked downstairs and the phone sat on the table. The call said it was from Mrs. Hilswerth. It had been going on for 15 minutes. It was a group call with an unknown number and Mrs. Hilswerth. Kate put the phone up to her ear to hear what was going on. The first thing she heard was a man say,"Come out. Come out. Wherever you are,you little bitch." She dropped the phone and started to cry.
