the prison gaurds daughter

chapter 4

He opened the door. Huh I guess it wasn't barricaded after all. Man that was a really heavy door then jeez.

"Okay brats I brought you dinner. if you don't like it feel free to starve its not my problem if you do"

THERE. Around his neck *again with the cliche* was a key on a chain. If I could somehow get that key... Then I would still be stuck inside a room that locks from the outside with a really pissed off criminal on my hands. Yeah I should probably figure out another escape route.

Wonder bread. He had legitimately given us a loaf of Wonder bread. If I didn't hate this guy already I sure did now.

"Are you going to eat anything Nikki? It's not that bad."

"Oh boy really? Well as long as it isn't fried slug. That makes everything allllllll better." I rolled my eyes at him but took some food anyways.

"What no soft drink? Were prisoners not animals!" I probably shouldn't go out of my way to irritate this guy but 2 things made me say that. One, I was thirsty. Two, I had just been freaking KIDNAPPED and i was not a very awesome mood.

"Do you think he'll ever let us go? What if he knows we saw his face and thinks we can identify him to the cops?Maybe he's just a sicko who enjoys killing kids! You never know and he could be planning to collect ransom money and just dump our bodies in a ditch somewhere!"

"OH MY GOD BENNY. I can't even hear myself think! Dude if he didn't already know that we knew what he looks like he knows now. You could be giving him ideas you know."

He didn't really say much after that he just nibbled on his wonder bread and pouted. We both fell asleep eventually on uncomfortably lumpy pillows the man brought us later on. I'm not sure what time we awoke but the man had been here. There was a fresh bag of something near the door. When I looked inside there were two still frozen breakfast burritos and that was it. I swear he was actively trying to kill us with this almost food. Anyways I tried to wake Benny up so he could eat but he refused to get up. I pounded on the door until the man opened it, annoyed.

"What do you want brat?"

"I have to go to the bathroom."

"Do you want a bottle?"

"Do I look like a guy?"

"Fine but I'm walking you to and from and you have a maximum of five minutes before i drag you out by your ponytail. Hurry"

I was ushered into the bathroom where I pulled my phone out of my pocket. There was no service in the rank basement room where the man had put me and Benny, but I had heard the man on the phone a few times so there had to be something. And the bathroom was upstairs... That just might be enough for me to send an S.O.S. out to the police or at least to my dad.

"Idk how much time i hav but big bald man in 40s took me+benny. send hlp wer in log cabin in forest off highway near big farm. idk if i can txt l8tr but ill try to keep u posted. pls send hlp"

I sent the text quickly and stuffed my phone deep in my pocket and out of sight, praying the man wouldn't notice the bulge under the edge of my shirt. Can you say 'bad day to wear skinny jeans? After I came out the man took me back to the small basement room. I didn't know if Dad would get the text, I didn't even know if it had gone through but those four sentances could be the only hope Benny and I had of getting out of here alive.
