The Pieces Kidnap (A Terrifying "True" Story)

One summer's day, the people of the picnics were enjoying their six week break off school. The older generation frowned upon our lingering as their weekly market day shop was mid-session. I guess I felt slightly offended, it wasn't like we were being destructive, we were only laughing, joking and being completely and utterly random. All natural occurances to us. Whist laughing, my stomach started shouting at me. I'd forgotten that I hadn't eaten lunch yet.

"Hey guys, my stomach just reminded me that we haven't eaten lunch yet" I laughed

There was a small ripple of laughter before the teens realised that they faced the same dilemma that I had. 

"So... Where are we going to eat?" Jacob said, breaking the short pause

"Maccies?" Leah responded

The majority of the group seemed to agree, but not me.

"I wanna go Pieces..." I said quitely

"Well you can go if you want, it's right over there, but we're going to Maccies" Simon replied

"I'm not going alone!" I exclaimed "Anyone want to come Pieces with me? Sam?"

"Not today, I think we go in there too much... they kinda know us and our orders now..." Sam said

"Good point.... I still want to go though!"

"I'll go with you!" Cath smiled

"Me too!" Alexa chipped in

"Ok, sounds good, see you guys in Maccies" I said, happy that I was able to get my own way

"We're probably going to roam around before we go to Maccies, so just go straight to Maccies after you get your Pieces" Simon informed

"Ok!" the three of us chirped before walking towards the chip shop.

Upon entering the building, everything seemed fine, we were the only customers, which was good news as we would be able to get our lunch quick. Coincidentally, all ordered the same thing. A cone of "Cheeky Chips". After we had been served, we went to leave. I reached for the door...

BANG BANG BANG

Shutters flew down from the ceiling, stealing the light and our vision. I heard muffled screams and struggling.

"CATH! ALEXA!" I shouted. There was no reply.

My breathing got heavier and the temperature in the room dropped like a sack of bricks. Silence. It was too silent, I knew something would get me sooner or later.

Out of nowhere a greasy hand grabbed my torso and another covered my mouth. In the shock, I lost all feeling.

A blinding light brought me back to my senses. I tried to move. I was strapped to a chair, Icouldn't move. Distant screaming, followed by a smacking sound.

"ALEXA! CATH!"

"They can't hear you" and menacing voice with a greek accent sounded.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM?! WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?!"

"Heh heh heh, I cannot tell you that young boy" the voice replied "but I can ensure you're going to have just as much fun as your lady friends"

"YOU ANIMAL! LET THEM GO!" I bellowed, enraged.

I felt an accute pain in my cheek. The weapon was metallic and flat.

"All in good time my friend, all in good time"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US!"

"Nothing, this is just for our sheer pleasure" the calm voice returned "Now, open wide!"

my jaw was forced open and what can only be described as a jumbo sausage was forced down into my throat. I choked and spluttered. I felt faint. Another distant scream was heard.

"cath... alexa..."

I was woken again. This time by a cold breeze. My eyelids prised open. I was outside. How did I get here? What just happened? I heard a groan. Cath! Alexa! The adrenaline kicked in and I sat up instantly to see the two girls lying about 10 metres away from me. I struggled to my feet and stagged over to the two seemingly lifeless corpses. I collapsed to my knees by their sides, a tear or two shedding from my eyes.

"guys" I croaked "guys, you ok? you alive?"

I helped the girls into a sitting position

"where are we" Alexa said, faintly

I'd not checked after I had recovered. We were outside another building. There was a blurry red sign. It then came into focus. McDonalds.

"We're outside Maccies" I said, glancing back at them.

I wish I hadn't. The two looks in a pretty bad state. Alexa's eyes were red and puffy and some cut marks were visable where the rope had been tied around her wrist. Cath had hideous burn marks all across her face and there were also visable cut marks from where the rope had rubbed. They both looked at me. Me. I wonder what I looked like.

After recovering for approximately 10 minutes, we limped into McDonalds. I dragged myself into the bathroom. Luckily I was alone. I looked into the mirror, there was a large red mark on my face which now burnt as I realised again it was there. It looked as though i was heavily beaten with a spatular. After tidying myself up as best I could, I rejoined Cath and Alexa as we huddled around a table, all in shock. After a prolonged period of silence, Cath's voice croaked

"So what happened to you guys?"

"I got beaten with a spatular and choked with a jumbo sausage" I confessed

"They squirted vinegar into my eyes" Alexa sobbed

"They slapped me with a burning hot deep fat fried fish" Cath responded

To this day we have no idea why this happened, what the intentions were of the Pieces employees and why we, of all people were the targets. Needless to say, we never entered that building again...
