The Kidnapping on Alcatraz

Chapter 5 Joseph

       Chapter 5 Joseph

       As soon as Niki suggested that I go ask the librarian I jumped up and made my way over to her. She was in her late 90’s and was very frail looking, but she had a big scar on her face that was shaped like a fork.

“Hi, I’m Joseph, I was hoping that you knew and information on the hidden secret underground passageway on Alcatraz Island?”

She slowly answered “Why yes son I have heard of it, as a matter of fact I’ve been in it myself. I’ve been waiting for s-someone to find out, about this.”

“Okay”

“So let me tell you how to get in, I expect you know about the entrance in the shower stall?” I nodded.

“Well that is one of the two ways, the second one is by the old ruined schoolhouse, you find the red fire hydrant and there is a handle for an old bomb shelter. If you go inside you will find an air vent, which is where you enter.”

“Okay and once you go inside the half-house is there a way to get out quickly?” I asked.

“Yes behind the chair in the bathroom is a trap door, you climb inside, and then there is a harness. Put the harness on and use the steps and rope to pull yourself up. Got it”

“Yes, thank you so much for your help today.”

“No problem, s-sir and just encase you need me again ask for Clair”

When I got back I told Niki everything because she seem really interested in it as well. Niki and I decide we wouldn’t tell our parents because they would not let us go, so the plan was to go down there for 1 hour while we were supposedly doing a junior class in private. I was a bit unsure of this, and I am never unsure. It just seem weird that almost nobody had heard of this tunnel.

Then we went back to the hotel and went swimming. That night when mom and dad were sleeping we started planning our visit to the tunnels. While we were talking we decided to bring our phones and some ear walkie talkies. The ear walkie talkies worked well, you first put in an ear piece with sticky stuff on the back, luckily it went in your ear far enough so that it did not show. Then you connected a highly sensitive microphone that was technically invisible, on your neck or chest.

We talked late into the night. About 10 minutes after Niki fell asleep, around 12:30am, I heard something on our patio. I slowly made my way over to look outside and yet nothing was there. During the night I was really paranoid and small noise’s made me extremely restless. Then in the early morning I heard someone in our room. I sat up and opened my eye, there were 5 people in my room, so of course I scream to scare them away. My scream caused my dad to get up and when he did he immediately saw the men. Because I was really scared I grabbed my sister and dragged her to my mom’s bed. I got in front of my mom and sister and all I could do was sit there.

My mom was calling 911 and my dad was yelling at the guys, yet they would not leave. Before I knew it a guys pulled out a gun and shot 4 rounds, out of a pistol. My mom was still on the phone and my dad was now lying on the ground in a pool of blood. As I heard the police pull up, I looked around as saw the door close, the guys were gone. I ran down stairs and guided the police and ETMs up to our room. My mom was on the floor trying to stop the blood and Niki was sitting in the corner crying and shaking. I went over to comfort her and got her to stand up. We need to get down stairs with the EMT’s to go to the hospital, with our dad, well really step-dad. I got into the ambulance and we left to the hospital.
