My Baby Was Kidnapped

Chapter 5

"Right, were going to be on this boat for six days, so get comfortable."

The Black was a small, abandoned ferry which Noah and Carter's parents had got hold of about a decade ago. It had lounges, bedrooms, bars and toilets. The twins had kept it looking new and had it repaired when it broke.

We emptied the entire contents of the car and dumped it in the biggest bedroom they had. Then Nadine, Casper and Amy said goodnight and went to bed.

Kelly and Noah went and kept an eye on everything whilst me and Carter lay on the deck watching the stars.

"I miss how life used to be." Carter said.

"Same."

"Back when you could do whatever you like without being worried the Jollies were going to kill you."

"Yeah."

"When's this baby due?" He asked sitting up.

"Two months."

"What about Kelly?"

"Two months, she's just pregnant with twins." I said.

Carter nodded.

"Have you had any girlfriends?" I asked.

"I had a wife called Marie, real sweetheart, but she cheated on me and got pregnant with the other guys baby."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, girls get it worse. There was an auction down the road from here on wives. My mother taught me it was sick."

"I loved your Mum." I said.

"We all did."

"YO! CARTER, AMBER, YOUR TURN TO WATCH." Noah shouted.

We swapped places and I sat in the room.

"Will we get caught in the sea?" I asked.

"Nope, me and Noah haven't seen one ship out here for five years. I think were fine." Carter said laughing.

"I hope your right."

"I'm always right."

I walked down the corridor and into the room.

Nadine, Amy and Casper were all snuggled up together, it was adorable.

As soon as I went in, Nadine and Casper both opened an eye.

"Amber, we are safe aren't we?" Nadine said uneasily.

"Yup, Carter told me that he hasn't seen another boat on the sea for five years."

Casper and Nadine instantly calmed down.

"What are we going to do when we get to America?"

"Well,"

"AMBER! NOAH! KELLY GET UP HERE!"

"I'll be right back, go to sleep." I said,

I ran into the room, we were in the captain.

I took a deep breath when I saw it.

There was a ship in the distance with a flag.

It was the Jollie flag.

"WE CANNOT GET CAUGHT!" I shouted.

"Bit late for that Amber!" Kelly shouted.

"What are we going to do?" I shouted.

"Calm down!" Carter shouted.

"Right, go full speed, get around them and just get out of there sight. If they don't know who's on this ship then they won't bother us. Hopefully." Noah said.

"We'll run out of fuel though!" Carter shouted.

"Then we'll get on the lifeboats and row the rest of the way! We'll swim if we have to!" Noah shouted.

Carter pushed a button causing the boat to be going full speed.

"Idiot! Do I gradually so it looks natural!" Noah said slapping the button to make it slow down.

Someone on the ship had gotten binoculars and was staring at our ship.

"Amber, Kelly, get down now!" Noah shouted.

We lay on the floor underneath the buttons hoping for the best.

When they just saw Carter and Noah they carried on and soon enough they were gone.

"Slow down, now!" Noah said.

"Why? What if there getting back up?" Carter said.

"I'm starting to think we shouldn't have done this in the first place." Kelly said putting her head in her hands.

"Shut up! We'll be fine!" I shouted.

But of course, the Jollies were getting backup and they were coming to search our ship. If we disagreed or found us they would kill all of us.

"Good job, Mum and Dad prepared us for this, huh?" Carter said.

He took us down to the bottom floor of the whole ship and opened a trap door that was in the ground.

"There going to find us there, Carter," Kelly said.

"Shh."

He got a torch, went into the trap door and opened another door and another. Until at least six trap doors were open and we could hide in a small cabin down there.

"Your a genius!" Kelly shouted. "They'll never find us here!"

Nadine and Casper came down as well. We didn't bring Amy down in case she started crying and gave us up.

"She's my daughter and her name isn't Amy it's Evie. Okay?" Carter said.

"Evie?" I asked.

"I've always wanted a daughter called Evie, now shh."

I smiled at him.

We went into the secret cabin.

"Don't come out until we say, okay?" Noah said.

We nodded.

Nadine was hesitant to let Amy out of her sight. She gave her lots of kisses and hugs and then lay on the bed in the secret cabin.

And they left.

Fingers crossed they wouldn't find us and that Noah, Carter and Amy would be okay.
