The Chase

MARA'S POV

"Mara, please! Stay awake, we need to get out of here fast!" I heard Lacey yell. She was trying to get me to my feet by the muscles were immobilized. 

"Where's your phone!" she yelled as she scrambled to our stuff. She came back and sat with me as I was losing consciousness. I was trying very hard to keep my eyes open but it was nearly impossible. 

Wesley's POV

"Wes! Can you get my phone! I'm in the shower!" I heard Drew yell through the bathroom door.

"Yeah sure." I said as I ran to his room and found his phone laying on the bed. It read "Mara". I pushed answer and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello, Drew's phone." I answered.

"Wes!? Please help us! Please, she's unconscious!" I heard a girl who sounded like Lacey scream through the phone.

"Wait- slow down what's wrong?!" I asked panicking. 

"We're at the beach! Someone put something in her drink and now she's not waking up! Please, they're coming! Hurry!" She yelled and then she got cut off.

I threw his phone onto the bed and ran out the door with my car keys. I fumbled with the keys and pushed the unlock button to my car. I jumped into the drivers seat and started the car and reversed out of the driveway. I sped down the road as fast as I could.

I drove up to the beach and saw Mara's car parked. I parked beside her and quickly ran out of the car towards the beach. I looked around for anyone at all. I saw two figures on the ground and ran towards them as fast as I could. I looked closer and it was just a couple making out. 

"FUCK." I curse as I run around looking for them. I hear a high pitched scream as I turn my head towards the noise. I see three guys putting Mara and Lacey into the back of their vehicle. My eyes widen as they both get into the car. I knew I wouldn't make it in time so I ran back towards my car. I saw Mara's things on the ground and saw her keys on the towel. Her car is faster than mine and I needed speed right now. I looked back and the car was backing out of the parking lot.

I grabbed her keys and sprinted to her car. i slid into the drivers side and started the engine. It made a mean roar and I sped off towards the black car that currently had Mara and Lacey in the back. It's like her car knew that something was wrong because it immediately sped up behind the vehicle nice and smoothly. I sped up so the front of the car hit the back of theirs. They sped up and so did I. Mara's car didn't lose them once. I was behind them the entire time. I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone. I dialed 911 and waited for an answer.

"911, what's your emergency?" I heard the voice.

"Hi, I need to report a kidnapping! I'm trailing behind them right now! They're headed towards eighth! Please hurry!" I yell into the phone.

"Yes sir, we have sent 4 patrol cars your way. Please stay on the line and report where they are headed." The voice said.

"Of course! I'm driving a maroon coloured Mustang! and they're driving a Black Pontiac!" I said as I sped behind his car honking my horn. I kept my phone on speaker so I could report where these bastards were going.

"Fucking dicks." I cursed as I rear-ended them again and again. I could tell they were drunk because they wouldn't quit swerving. 

A couple minutes later I saw sirens behind me. I kept close to the vehicle as they weaved their way through the traffic. I refused to lose them. I patrol car pulled up on either side of me. Another one sped by and sped past the black car. The patrol car pulled up in front of the black car and boxed them in. They began to slow down and eventually came to a complete stop. I black car tried to escape the trap but failed. I got out of the car and walked towards the black car. The cops got out of their vehicles and approached the vehicle with their guns in their hands.

"Step out of the vehicle now!" a cop yelled as he opened the door. Two guys got out from either side with their hands on their heads. I opened the back door and saw Mara's limp body tumble out of the car. I caught her and cradled her in my arms. Lacey was passed out in the back as a cop got her out of the vehicle and carried her to his patrol car. 

"We need to get to the hospital now. There's no time to call an ambulance." one cop said as they took Mara out of my arms and carried her to the cop car. I got back into the vehicle and sped behind the cruiser that had Mara and Lacey in the back. Their sirens were wailing as we weaved through traffic towards the hospital. I dialed Drew on my phone and told him to meet me at the hospital ASAP.

We arrived at the hospital and 5 nurses came out and put Mara and Lacey on stretchers.

"What's the rundown?" one of the nurses asked as she checked Mara's vitals.

"They've both been drugged and then kidnapped. They're both very intoxicated." I said as I followed them down the hall.

"I'm sorry, you're going to have to wait here." one of the nurses said and they left behind closed doors.

I went and sat in the waiting room and waited for Drew to show up.

"Do they have any family present?" a nurse asked as I was sitting down.

"Mara's brother is on his way and Lacey's parents should be here soon." I said as she wrote something down on her note pad.

"What is your relationship with them?" she asked.

"Close friend." I said and she walked away.

Drew burst through the doors and saw me.

"What happened?" He asked frantically as he looked around for a nurse.

"They were too drunk and a bunch of guys drugged their drinks and then kidnapped them." I said as I touched his shoulder.

"Where's a nurse?" he asked as he walked to the front desk. The receptionist told him to wait for a doctor to come out to them with  more information. He punched the door and walked towards the waiting room with his head in his hands.

"They'll be fine Drew. We just have to wait."

That's all we can do.

Is wait.
