It's You

-Wes-

Courtney and I had been driving for a while.
We had arrived at multiple different houses and garages all which seemed empty.

As we were on a dirt track somewhere severely overgrown I felt a phone buzz.

"Who is it?" Courtney asked, gesturing to her phone in her lap.

Since she was driving I grabbed her phone and read
"It's Noah.. something happened at the hospital?" I uttered, glancing to Courtney.

"Something.. like what?" She asked.

"Uh.. I don't know, it's written so poorly.." I shook my head trying to make out the text.
"Flitz was drugged, is one of them..
I don't know, something about red lights and guns?"

"That.. doesn't sound good." Courtney exhaled.

"Uh, uh.. uh.." I tried.
"Everyone else is missing?"

"Everyone? Olivia and Shayne, too?"

"It doesn't say.."

"Well, were going to find out." She exclaimed.

"Were here.. call the police." She stammered.

"What? Why?"

"Cause someone's in the upstairs window." She added.

"And?"

"Well for one, it has bloody bars on it, two this place is suppose to be ABANDON! NOW HURRY!"

I failed the number as I watched.
I think that's Boze.

She looked frightened but now looked frantic.

We pulled up out the front and ran inside.
Her phone had no bars so I couldn't contact the police, but we could sure as hell do something.

I put the phone in my pocket.

"I'll check upstairs!" I yelled as I made my way into the house.
There were two sets of stairs one leading up and another leading down, and four rooms on this floor, so I ran up.

At the top of the stairs was an empty room with no windows or doors, all accept the faint wooden outline of a door in the far corner.

I pushed it open and revealed Boze and Mari.
Boze was by the window and Mari was curled up on the bed.

"Wes!" Boze screamed as she ran to me.

I stepped out, hugging her.

"Come on, we've got to go!" I exclaimed.

Boze' head turned to the window.

"No TIME!" She yelled pulling me inside the room and closing the door I came in by, I turned and watched as the door seemingly disappeared and became part of the wall, the only notable thing was it was behind a sink.

They pulled me over toward them as another car pulled in beside mine.

"Get under the bed!" The urged as they began shuffling me under a rather small bed.

I laid on my back, as still as I could be as the girls coward on the bed, facing away from the door...

I don't want to know what he's done to them, all I want is for them to be safe.
