"CJ! I told you we should have stayed home.. We should've obeyed.. Why did I let you talk me into this?" I cried.

"Dil.. Shut up!" My sister snapped. "I can get us out.."

"OH! You can get us out? Really? You think you can save us? For fucks sake, we're tied up, trapped, and they're going to kill us like they killed Emma!" I sassed. "Can't you see it? We're done, Catie...." I sighed. "We're done.."

"You were the one wanting to save Emma... and now you won't save your own sister, and yourself..." CJ started to cry. "I'm sorry I got you into this.... I just thought... You'd want to know the truth.. If your girlfriend, and my best friend, was alive and where she was."

"I'm sorry C..." I sighed. "I'm under a lot of pressure... The video said that they'd be coming after the others if Emma didn't die. I don't get why they took us, besides the fact that I was previously kidnapped..."

"Emma didn't die, then...." CJ said. "Look at the facts... If she would've died in that video, we wouldn't be here in their custody. You may have, but I would only be kidnapped due to being a witness....."

"So... She's alive?" I asked. "Then where is she?"

"I think they set up the shed as a trap to fool us into coming here, sending our parents on a wild goose chase through Australia..." CJ said.

\ A few hours earlier \

"C, this is getting to be enough... Can we just go to the station now?" I asked my sister.

"We don't have enough evidence.... Only the car. I can't get any feed on my mic...." She continued to try to pick up any audio frequencies, getting closer and closer to the shed.

"CJ, what the hell are you doing?" I snapped. "We agreed to stay right here!"

"Shut up, Dil... I need to hear..." She inched closer.

"Catie, get back here..." I felt arms wrap around me, and a cloth over my face. I tried to scream, warning my sister, but she was already caught as I lost consciousness.

\ Present \

"We're in this together now...." I said. "We need a plan.."

"What's the point..?" CJ cried. "I'm too weak..."

"C, you constructed this plan from a theory she's alive..... If she's still alive, it's not only going to be us who reaps the consequences..." I said. "They're going to come after our parents.... Our friends.... Our families..."

"Right..." CJ snapped out of it. "We need to get out.."

"Can you reach anything to help cut the ropes?" I asked.

"Uh.... No.." She looked around, then spotted a knife, trying to stretch to it. "You see anything?"

"No... I'm going to try to untie them...." I pulled on the rope that bound my wrists and tried to untie them. "Shit, they're coming... and I almost got it.."

"Hide it!" CJ snapped.

"Hey shitheads.." The man said, mockingly.

"Hey fuckface.." CJ said. "How're you doing?"

"You want to shut that face or do I need to shut it for you?"

"CJ, shut up.." I said.

"You want to turn on me now?" CJ snapped.

Perfect... Keep yelling at me... Get them to think we're turning on each other.
