Emilie's pov

It's already been ten minutes since Jeff, Anders and the others have left to go to the warehouse, and I'm still so worried and scared. Even though, I'm starting to feel bored as well. Clutching my phone for dear life – I don't even know why - I do hope it won't be so long before they come back. I have nothing to do here, except eating my nails and creating the worse scenarios in my head. Jeff would certainly scold me for that, but I can't help it. This feeling in my stomach keep bugging me, and here I am all alone waiting for him to come back.

Well, nearly alone.

The truth is, I'm in the back of a car now, with one of the men at the front, holding his gun and guarding me. I feel like a baby, have to be guarded like that, but I feel safer with him. I'd have gone crazy alone in that car, jumping at every noise I hear. I don't know who this man his, what's his name, what he looks like. We are in a complete dark, but I can still guess his features and his movements. I already tried to talk to him, but he just ignored me royally. I felt so ashamed that I promised myself I won't talk to him anymore. Better just wait alone than being ignored!

I lay my head on the window glass on my right and take a straight look at the warehouse, which seems so far away from here. I can't hear anything from here, but I still have a good view of it and that reassures me. I'm so stressed that something bad can happen, that even blinking is hard for me. I'm so scared that if I turn my gaze away a second, it will disappear or something. Yes, call me crazy.

Nothing seems to happen though, and I'm feeling better. I'm sure they're going to come back soon, Jeff is so strong after all. Nothing bad will happen, he promised me right?

I decide to say that over and over again in my head, just to reassure me until he does come back.

Nothing bad will happen.

Nothing bad will happen.

Nothing bad will happen.

Nothing bad-

Suddenly, a loud scream echoes through the entire warehouse, and I heard it as well. I freeze in place, unsure of if it was true or just in my imagination, the sound came from so far away. I haven't noticed that I was shaking until I feel my phone drops from my hand. Please, let it be my imagination!

"Stay here." The man at the front orders me, and starts to get out of the car. That's when I start to freak out, he has heard it too. Why do I have to stay here? I want to know!
He doesn't even had the time to open his door before a loud explosion sound distracted us.

The warehouse....

Is on fire.

It has just....exploded.

"Oh my god!" Someone screams, and it takes me a while to figure out it was my voice. I'm now just a shaking mess, and I'm already crying.

It can't be possible...

No it can't be. He promised me.

HE PROMISED ME!

The loud bang of the car's door being shutting wakes me up a little, and that's only then that I realize that the man has gone, running to the warehouse.

A little hope rises inside of me. Maybe it's not too late. Maybe, they weren't in there. Yes! That's it! They surely escaped before the explosion!

With my hopes, I take my phone back and start to run to the warehouse as well. It's so dark that I can't even see where I'm going, and the man is nowhere to be seen.
