"I have a bad feeling about this Rose." Lisa told me. I sighed and finished the locks and swung the door open. "See? Piece of cake." I told my friend. She sighed and we both stepped inside the huge mansion.

"You sure whoever lives here is gone?" Lisa asked. "I'm positive." I said pulling my flashlight out. She sighed. "Still I think we should leave." Lisa said. I shook my head. "No, we're not. We came here for that safe and that's exactly what we'll get." I said.

"Or we'll both get caught." I scoffed. "Since when have I ever got caught?" I asked. She was silent proving my point. "Thought so." I said. I looked around the basement and smiled when I saw a huge black safe against the wall.

"Bingo." I said. I walked up to it and bent down. "Lisa give me a hand will you?" I asked. She was silent. "Lisa?" I asked. I turnt around and frowned when I saw the owner pointing his gun against Lisa's head.

I held my hands up. "Back away from that safe." He told me. I nodded. "Just let her go." I said. "Or what? I'm the one with the gun." He said. I nodded. "Okay you have s point, but let her go..She has nothing to do with this."

I said. "I think both of y'all do." He said. "It was my idea to break in, she begged me not to. So please just let her go." I said. He squinted my eyes trying to figure me out.

"Fine, but you have to stay." He said. "No problem." I said. "Rose no." Lisa said. "I'll be fine, I'm a big girl." I said. He pushed her out the way. "Leave. Now." He ordered. She shook her head.

"Now!" He yelled. She turnt back around and ran out the back door. He then looked at me. "Move. Now." He ordered. I scoffed and did as he said.

I walked up the stairs and walked through the door into the hallway. I looked around slightly impressed with now he decorated his house. He was really clean for a man. We walked up the stairs and into this room.

"Your my prisoner." He simply said. I scoffed. "Wow prisoner? Your really old school aren't you?" I asked. He rolled his eyes then closed the door behind him. I hurried and grabbed the door knob when he locked it.

"Fuck." I mumbled. I looked around the room and started looking for anything that'll help me escape but it was no use. I was trapped. It wasn't even a single window in here.

I sat on the edge of the bed running my fingers through my hair. I left all my personal stuff in the car so I was officially stuck her. I should've listened to Lisa. She was always right and I always hated that shit.

I heard someone knock on the door making me look up. They opened the door and a tall black lady stepped inside. "Dinner is ready." She told me. I raised a brow. "Dinner?" She nodded. "Yes." I scoffed. "No thanks." I said.

"Please..He'll be very angry if you don't." she said. I was silent. "Nah ion give a fuck. Tell his ass to rick rocks." She raised a brow at my outburst. "Very well." She said. I frowned wondering what their deal was.

Soon I heard footsteps walking up the stairs and he came inside the room. "Dinner is ready." He said. "So?" I asked. He clenched his teeth then grabbed my arm forcing me out the door.

We walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where dinner was set up. He sat me down. "Eat." "Why would you care if I didn't?" I asked. "Just eat!" "No!" I yelled. He clenched his fist. "Fine, starve to death."

He said. "I'll be glad to, at least ion have to see yo face all the time." I spat. He chucked. "If your trying to piss me off enough to let you go its not gonna work." He said. I frowned. "Now eat..Or don't eat at all. I can care less." He said. I was silent.

He took a seat at the end of the table and began eating.
