Rescued

When I woke, I was tied up in a chair. My first instinct was to find my way through the room. The only problem with that was the room was practically pitch black.

The only thing I could see was a dark figure right in front of me. Suddenly, a bright light flickered on. For a couple of seconds I was blind.

After my vision cleared, I could see who was in front of me. Mary.

"MARY!"

"She can't hear you"

I couldn't tell where the voice came from. I looked around trying to pin point where the voice could have came from.

"Aww, you look almost pitiful"

I could recognize that voice. It's the same deep, raspy voice I heard when my uncle came over with his friend...

"Jared?"

"Took you long enough, I thought I was gonna have to spell it out for ya"

Instantly anger and adrenaline coursed through my body.

"WHAT THE FU...."

"Ah cool your jets, this is only temporary, soon you get your own jail cell, haha exciting isn't it"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands like a little girl. As soon as I lose my focus on Jared, I scan over Mary.

She only has a few scratches on her head and a cut lip. I sigh, she's going to be alright.

"You know, if she hadn't have gone to you, we would've never found you." He says it like it's Mary's and Casey's fault.

"What do you want" I spit out, while my anger rises now as I concentrate on him.

A few seconds after I spoke, I heard him start to walk down a set of stairs behind me.

"Ah nothing much, just you know, you and your brother" He spoke as if it wasn't obvious.

I could only think about the safety of Mary at this point,"Whats wrong with her!"

"We gave her an insulin that slows her heart so slow, that she's practically dead, yet she's alive."

As long as she's going to be o.k., I'll be fine. Now to focus on Jared.

"Why would you want us!"

"Well it seems to boss, you guys are gonna be a huge part in the rebelling force, now why? I have no clue, you guys aren't even old enough to know what most strategic plans are."

He said it as if he knew for sure, but he was wrong. My dad was a leader in the force, so thus he always ask me what I would do in most situations. Every time I gave him a honest answer and it worked.

"What?" I tried to sound as dumb as possible, and apparently it worked. His eyes lit up like he was actually right for once.

"Exactly!"

I now lost focus on him and started to scan the room. I could see there were two big windows, both on the second floor.

But I noticed something as I looked at the windows. There were four different shadows crossing from one to another.

Not even a split second afterwards, there was a loud bang, followed by a white flash.

I lost most of my senses, which was supposed to happen with a flash bang, but it caught me off guard.

Once the ringing in my ears subsided, I saw both my neighbors and Michael.

"MICHAEL!"

"And yet again I save you" He says sarcastically.

"Oh whatever" I responded, trying not to sound ashamed or embarrassed. I look behind him to find Casey.

"How'd you get away?"

"You know, I may be crippled, but I'm not completely disabled" She says, sounding proud of her escape.

Michael looks over at Mary,"Is she ok?"

"Yea she's fine, she was given an insulin that slows her heart rate" I say sounding smart.

"Ok, well we better get going before more show" Michael says, with a hint of worry in his voice

"Well this outta be fun" I smile and we head out the door to the left and outside.
