Trapped

Chapter 26-Jake

It was 5:20 here in Boston. I had to leave now if I wanted to make it to Emi in time. Will and I were in the hotel now, with Will eating what room service brought in, and me sitting on the other twin bed in the room. I watched him scarf down the custard pie. I wish there could strangle him, I thought. Playing friends with him was starting to get to me. But how was I going to get out?

"Hey, I'm about to go hit the pool." I spoke.
"Oh, wait for me ok coming too," he said.
"Alright you hop in the shower and I'll meet you down there," I said. I watched him with focused eyes, to look at his expression. He gave me a thumbs up while looking at his phone. Then he spoke, "Hang on a minute, I haven't called Emi in a while. She must be worried," he said smiling. I widened my eyes. Emi was probably out of the house by now. And that housekeeper, Lynn-what if she told Will?!

I watched as he quickly dialed the number and put the phone to his ear. I watched nervously waiting to see what would happen. Will suddenly sat up as someone answered the phone.

"Hello, Emi?" Asked Will. Someone else had probably answered,by the look on his face.

"Lynn, where's Emi? Give her the phone," he said his voice starting to strain. Lynn spoke on the other line. What would she say, I wondered nervously.

"The shower? For how long? Oh, ok. I'll be waiting." He said as he hung up the phone. His expression was disappointed but not enraged-Lynn had made up a story.

"What'd she say?" I asked casually.
"Emi's in the shower. She said she'll call me when she's free," he answered freely. He pulled out some clothes from his closet and went into the shower.

I waited for him to lock the door and then I sprinted to my closet. I pulled out the small carry-on I had packed the night before and took it out. Frantically, I grabbed my wallet and watch from the table and headed out the door. I closed the door quietly, and headed downstairs. When I reached the lobby, I checked myself out, and told the receptionist that if Will asked for me, tell him I left in an emergency. I jogged over to the entrance and hailed a cab to the airport. My flight takes off in an hour and a half I thought scanning my watch. I looked over to the hotel and got in the cab.
