THE SPY CHRONICLES: BOOK 1(ON HOLD)

Chapter 4-Run

Bob later fell asleep. Jack had still not gotten back. I felt my eyelids drooping too but I gathered myself together. Now's not the time for sleep,I reminded myself. I looked at the wall clock again - it was eleven thirty! Gosh this was getting annoying! They should have tracked my location already. My phone!Gosh how could I have forgotten!?

I tried to reach my backpack but I couldn't. Only if there was a way to untie myself. Then like an answer to my prayer, I spotted a knife on the table beside me. All I had to do was get a little bit closer and grab it with my teeth. Prayerfully, I dragged myself and the chair I was tied to closer to the table. I paused as I suddenly heard a frightening sound.

Thankfully, it was Bob snoring.

I leaned forward and grabbed the handle of the knife with my teeth before ducking to cut the rope off my left wrist which was fairly loosely tied to the chair. It came off easily so I used my left hand to cut that of my right,my eyes glancing back and forth between the rope and Bob's sleeping face.

I sighed as the rope fell off before hurrying to my backpack. I took out my phone and saw that I had 53 missed calls, 110 texts and 16 missed face time. I called Nikki,requesting for a face time. In three seconds, her face appeared on the screen.

"Oh my gosh Becky, what happened to you?" Nikki screamed. I winced as Bob stirred a little.

"Could you be quiet a bit?" I whisper-shouted. Nikki's eyes widened a little.

"I'm sorry. But since you didn't answer any of our calls nor replied to any of our messages, we were worried. Not that we really expected you to pick up,but we kinda believed you'd have escaped. Oh and your mum's freaked out by the way." Ohoh.

"It's alright. Where's Kelly?" I asked.

"Oh she's over there." Nikki turned her phone towards Kelly. I could see Kelly arguing with someone. I couldn't really see the person but I knew it was a guy. There was another guy standing close to them while she yelled and threw her hands up in exasperation.

"What's going on?" I asked. Nikki turned it back to her and rolled her eyes.

"Well,Kelly had been in an argument with that Filip O'Donnell guy. They just didn't seem to get along. They'd been..." She continued but everything else she said drained out. Did she just say Filip O'Donnell??!!!

"Did you just say Filip O'Donnell?" I asked with wide eyes. Nikki stared at me.

"Of course I did." Then she scoffed at me. "Yeah it's him! The captain of the soccer team! I know right,like who would ever imagine Filip being a spy? He and his friends are on the operation too."

"Who?"

"Foster Adams and Felix Anderson. The captains of the basketball and baseball teams! Who would have thought they could be spies!" Nikki chuckled as she gave me the look that meant she was imagining things. I facepalmed.

Actually Filip O'Donnell has been my secret crush ever since the beginning of sophomore year. But I never mentioned it to my friends. They'd both freak in excitement (even if it were to be an ogre) and maybe even plan a matchmaking scheme that would probably end up being horrible! I shuddered.

"Okay,okay,Nikki,I NEED to get out of here. It's a cottage for Pete's sake! Something very different from my bedroom which I love very much, thank you." I said as I glanced around.

"Oh right! Yeah. Let me tell the others. That should shut them up and let us move forward!" Nikki said throwing her hands up.

"Calm down Kelly!" I heard Felix say as Nikki neared them.
