The Lock!

The Lock: part two

"Hurry we only have four minutes left!" Yells Madison.

Our time started. "Okay, we have to get out of these cells." I say to Johanna. She nods her head. We start by searching the beds, looking for clues. We did not find anything, so we go onto the toilet. Not much there, then I remember that the woman gave us a flash light.

"Jo! Turn off the light." I say. She does as said. I point the light, which we found out was a black light, at the ceiling.

Words come up. Saying that we have to find a laser.

Then we hear a voice.

"Hello. You are most likely wondering why I'm talking. I just want to remind you that you have fifty minutes, and that if you don't get out inside the time your given, that you will be killed on the spot. Good luck." Says the voice. Then I realize that it came from the walkie talkie. It was a mans voice. Deep, yet high. He sounds no older then 40 or so.

I look through the bar, and I see Claire face. She was in complete horror. Her eyes start to water.

"Claire stay strong. We will make it. We need to find that laser."

Madison was also in horror. Jo, not so much. I was also scared, but I could not dwell on it. I need to focus.

I thought. Being an Athena kid, that's one of the best things we can do.

Where could they hid a lazier? There is not much place over on our end. They must have it in the other cell.

"Madison, you guys have the lazier. I need you to find it. I believe we have the thing to unlock the cells over here. There is a small bump on the wall that's it." I say over there. She nods. I could not help but fell sorry for Claire. She just turned 14. She has a lot to live, and being her with her talents, I would to be scared.

I then realize that they don't have it. We read the code wrong!

"You don't have it. I read it wrong. It's not even in the cell. Give me your tooth brushes. I have a code to find." I say.

They give me they're things, and I start to work. Johanna was keeping time.

"We only have forty minutes." She says.

I start to worry. We need to get out of the cells by thirty. I can't take any risks. Normally, I would relax instead of taking charge like I always do. But I can't put my friends on the line. I can't lose them, they are the world to me.

I search the room one more time. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see a tool box.

"That's it!" I yell. That got every ones attention. The box was black and had a lock closing the latch.

I was able to get the box, but it is to big to get through the bars. The box was your regular tackle box. Nothing special. I see that you need a key to get into it.

"Guys do you have a key over there?" I ask them. Madison goes to check. Claire is starting to get back to reality. She does not look as daze as before.

"You okay Claire?" I ask her. She nods her head.

"Yeah, I just can't think about it." She says. I smile.

Madison comes back with a box.

"What is this?" I ask her.

"The key, it is in here." She says. I sigh.

"Okay, we will work on it. Jo what's the time?" I ask.

"We have thirty five minutes." She says.

"Okay, this must have something to do with the tooth brushes or something. Guys work on that." I say to them as I hand them the tooth brushes. They go over to their cell and start to work.

As I was handing them stuff, Johanna was over with the box. "Jo!" I yell, and as I do so, she drops the box. It falls across the hall.

"Johanna!" I yell again. She jumps up.

"You scared me!" She yells in protest.

"We needed that!"

"Well sorry." She yells.

Then I hear a lock being picked.

Then I see a key coming through the bar.

"Done." Says Claire. "And that's why I always have a bobbie pin." Smiles Madison.

"Okay, now we just need the box." I say. Jo looks at me. None of us have long enough arms to get across the hall.

Then an idea comes to mind.

"Jo hand me the bed sheet. I'm going to do this cowboy style." I smile.

She gives it to me, and I twist it Around to make it tight. Then I swing it out and around the bar, just getting the box in the process. Then I reel it in.

We got the box, and we open it with the key. Inside the box was a pen, a code, and a lazier.

"What is the code for?" Asks Claire.

"I don't know, but Claire please keep the code in mind." I say to her.

We took the lazier and pointed it at the thing on the wall. We held it there for about five-ten seconds, and the cells open!

"Yes, okay Madison and Jo go to the office, there must be something in there, me and Claire will search the halls."

We found a key! It was in a laundry hamper that was next to the box that we got the lazier out of.

We checked to see if there was anything else, but we could not find any more keys. So we went to see what Jo and Maddie found.
