?Secret POV?

This is wrong. Kidnapping the girls. It's plain wrong. Damian said we have to keep them from their boyfriends  because they said they were in danger but now I highly doubt that.

He said we would keep them safe but instead we are treating them like prisoners. They deserve more than that. She deserves more than that. 

I see Damian come out of the door clearly pissed. "She's mad at me." He said to no one in particular.

"Maybe because we are treating them like prisoners." I said. "You told me they were gonna be safe. Lisa is inside puking her guts out and Vanessa is starting to get an infection from the cuts on her wrists from the cuffs!" I yelled.

"Look. I don't need you here. You already got us what we wanted. We can easily get rid of you if I wanted too. So don't give me any attitude." Damian snaps back at me.

He walks away.  I need to find a way to get some help. First things first, I have to make sure they stay hydrated.

I unlocked the door and walk into the the room with a bottle of water and a granola bar.

Vanessa POV

The door opens again, having the light blind me. "I told you to leave us alone Damian.." I said.

"I'm not Damian.. I'm actually here to help." I look up. A guy about our age looks back at me.  "Who are you." I ask

"My name is Adrian." The guy says shyly. Why does the name Adrian ring a bell? "I'm sorry about all of this. I didn't know this is what they were planning.." Adrian trails off.

Before I could question him, He looks at Lisa and walks over to her. She laughs. Did she really just laugh? "So, is it like an ex-boyfriend reunion or something?" She says.

Adrian smiles back at her. "So you do remember me?" He asks quietly. "Of course. How can I forget my first love?" She says and looks down.

Really? This is Adrian from high school? I haven't met him before but Lisa had mentioned him a couple of times.

"What are we doing here?" I asked interrupting them. "Well two guys came up to me at work one day and asked if I knew either of you." He started.

" I said I knew Lisa and that we dated freshman year and he said you guys were in trouble. That you had abusive boyfriends and you needed help. So of course I came to help." He explained.

Lisa spoke up "Where the two guys named Damian and Javier?" She asked. Adrian sook his head yes.

"Dammit." I say. "Here, I brought this.. I can hold it so you guys can drink and grab a bite." He motioned to the water bottle and some kind of energy bar in his hand.

I'm not sure if I trust this guy, yet I gave in. Reluctantly I shook my head yes.

He opened the bar and broke it in two. He put one end in my mouth and gave the other to Lisa.

He unscrewed the lid and held the bottle to my lips and I drank. I gulped down about half the bottle and then he went over to my twin, who drank the rest of it.

"I'm sorry I was a part of this, but I promise to make it right." And with that he left the room and the familiar click was heard.

"Vanessa..." Lisa whispered. "Yes twin?" She looked nervous almost if she doesnt want to say it. "I-I have a flip phone in my shoe that Mitch can track." She said in a whisper that was almost inaudible.

"I felt it ring a few minutes ago. So the battery isn't dead." She continued. I clicked. "We have to get that phone out of your shoe." I said.

"If we could some how break out of here then we could run and call Mitch and Jerome then the cops or something, but I don't know how we would escape.." Lisa said.

How could we escape? We don't even know where we are. Lisa's phone is in her boot. They won't keep us here forever... I hope.

"I think our best bet is to see if they will take us anywhere. Then we have to ask Adrian about a safe way out." I said

Lisa shook her head in agreement. "I could ask if they're is a bathroom.. I mean they can't keep us in here." She said.

---------
"One thing you regret." I said.

Lisa smiled. "Not adopting a puppy after we dropped out of college." She said. So far she had been doing good, but then again we hadn't really eaten anything.

"One thing you want in the world." Lisa said.

"I would want-" I was cut off by the door unlocking and slowly opening. This time it was a tall boy dressed in regular clothes. I looked at his face. I regretted it instantly. Lis wasn't going to enjoy this one.

Javier walked into the room and smiled at both Lisa and I. "Are you girls hungry yet?" He asked. Lisa gave me a smile.

"Actually. Javier I have to go to the restroom.. Is there a way I can go?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah sure."  Javier unlocked Lisa's cuffs and she brought down her arms slowly. Clearly sore. Lisa's wrists were slightly irritated, marked with cuff burns, but they weren't as bad as mine.

"Can I go too?" I asked.

Javier shook his head and yelled. "Someone get in here!" Shit. this is not what I meant.

Damian walked in and Javi told him we wanted to go to the bathroom.

Damian walked over to me and smiled while unlocking my cuffs. I gave him a hard glare.

They lead us out of the door and I started looking around for a sign of an exit.
