"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"

I awoke suddenly. The police already?

"SHOW YOURSELF! WE WILL FIND YOU!"

The back door. I needed to escape, fast! I rushed downstairs and sneaked passed the living room where the police stood. They were pointing guns at my friend, Jemma.

"TELL US WHERE SHE IS!" They yelled.

"I don't know!" she cried.

Then I saw a horrific sight.

The chief raised his gun and shot Jemma twice. They killed her. I knew that I would never forgive myself for bringing her to danger. I ran towards the back door but tripped on some shoes. "THERE SHE IS! GET HER!" I knew I couldn't run anymore. In shock, I passed out.

I woke some hours later in a dark and dirty prison cell with one narrow window beyond my reach. I was captured. Imprisoned, and sure to have the death sentence. I wanted to escape, to run off and go into hiding.

But I couldn't.
