Sunday
I woke up on a hard, cement slab behind bars with Sam and Oliver. With my head pounding I sat up and looked around. What happened last night?
I walked over and shook Sam. She wakes up startled and sits up. "Why are we here? When did we get here?" she asks me. "Umm... I don't know. But do you know what happened last night?" I whisper to her not to wake Oliver yet. "No...I...I don't, but I'm scared Ariel. I don't know what happened at all. I can't find my phone or my bag. Do you have your phone?" She asks. "No. They took them when they put us in here." "God damn it!" She yells. "Shhhh!!!" I tell her but its already to late.
Oliver wakes up and hits his head on the bunk above him. "Shit...ouch...where are we?" He asks rubbing his head. "We're in jail idiot. Do you know how we got here." I ask him with a low voice."No and why do you have to be so mean? Why are you talking so quiet?" he asks. "So the guards don't hear us. I wanna try and break out of here." "Why? The keys are right there on the desk." Sam says. I give Sam a thumbs up. I walk over to the bars and try and look for something to grab them with. "Do guys see anything to grab them with?" We all start to look around for something to grab them with. "O...here's my belt." Oliver says while taking of his belt. "Alright...but I don't know if that's gonna work." I take his belt and reach for the keys. It lands on top of the keys. "Let me try again." I pull back the belt and they fall to the floor with a "CLINK".
Shit. I stand there waiting to see if anyone comes but I don't hear any foot steps. "Alright let me try again." I say to them. I shove the belt threw the key loop. "Now what do I do?" "I don't know." says Sam. We both look over at Oliver. "Here give me it." He says. He takes the belt out of the key loop. "What are you doing?" I ask. "Shut up." He yell/whispers. He takes the metal part of the belt and shoves it threw the key loop and pulls. The keys hook onto the belt and he grabs the keys. "Alright Oliver." says Sam. As soon as we get the keys we hear foot steps. "Hide them!!" I tell him. He takes them and shoves them underneath the bunk.
An officer walks into the room. "What's up Pete?" says Oliver. "I see your awake. Do you know why your in here?" He asks us. We look at each other to see who will answer. I step closer to the bars. "No, but do you?" "Ya we don't remember anything from last night." says Sam from on the cement slab. "We'll your in here for driving without licenses, under age drinking, and murder." "Murder!?" asks Oliver confused. "Ya. You folks murdered your father Oliver."
"I don't even know my father!" Oliver yells. "Ya. So how could we have killed him?" "You found him and killed him. Do you folks need anything before we leave?" He asks with a laughing tone. "Ya. A lawyer." says Oliver. With that Pete walks out of the room.
