Chapter 21: Issa Trap

"Alright Mr. Lopez, I'm going to ask you a few questions and you have to be honest with your answers and whatever you say will stay in here. It will not be discussed with anyone else that has nothing to do with this case." The officer said as they got the tape recorder and a notepad. 

"Alright" I replied.

"So what is your relationships with the victims in this case?"

"Well one of them, Lucky Rodriguez, is my girlfriend and the other victims are my friends."

"So how did you meet them? I mean as I was told, they were in the facility for years. Did you help them escape?"

"Not exactly. I mean we gave them sanctuary when they escaped. Here's the story actually, I'm in a band, Mindless Behavior, and we were celebrating the launching of our latest album. I saw them running and I wanted to help them so I told our manager Walter to follow them so we can help them. He refused so I threatened to help them myself. He said that we can help them so when we saw them at the side of the road, they blacked out except for Lucky but when I was about to carry her, she collapsed. After that, we brought them to our house and they go to school now and they finally get to do things that their peers do."

The officer nodded at my answers in approval. She turned off the tape recorder.

"This is going to be a series of personal questions that I made up myself. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

"Go ahead"

"Do you love your girlfriend?"

"Yes" I nodded hesitantly. Why is she asking personal questions anyway?

"When you get a little older do you want to marry her?"

"Yes" I nodded. Too personal!

"Do you think that someone was trying to do anything bad to her?"

"Yes! 2 of your policemen came to our house and put their hands on my girlfriend and they tried to make her suck--- umm well you know!"

"We never had any policemen come to your house." She looked perplexed. 

"What?!" My eyes bulged. I'm so confused. Okay so how did they know our address and where did they get the uniform from? Also the cop car that they came in! Someone is lying!!

"Yeah, I'm just as surprised as you are." She shrugged.

"Well, is that all the questions that you have for me?"

"Alright Ms. Lazarre, it's time for you to be interviewed. Be honest in your answers and this will not be discussed with anyone outside of this case." 

"Okay"

"Now what happened?" He asked before turning on the tape recorder. 

"Okay we were doing a story night since Walter, the boys' manager, was out of town since he's going to get married or whatever and we just wanted to have fun and everything. Mia and Bria, Alissa and Moni's guests, came here and Bria was telling an untrue story about her and Ray having sex. All of a sudden, there was a beep coming from Bria's phone. She started laughing all crazy! It all happened so fast. Men came bursting through our windows and took me, Destinee, Sky, Alissa, Lucky, and Moni." 

"Once you were kidnapped what happened next?"

"They put us in this car and drove to this cold, gray building that looked nice from the inside but it was a death trap to the girls in there. They threw me into a room to leave me and Destinee in a room. It was like solitary confinement. There wasn't that much to do in there. However, I feel bad for Lucky, Moni, Alissa, and Sky because they were forced to be inside a freezer for hours until the guys came and rescued us."

"Okay then" The officer smiled as he turned off the tape recorder. "That'll be it now. Thank you for cooperating."

"You're welcome" I smiled as I walked out of the room.

Lucky

We all came out of the individual rooms that we were interviewed in.

"Did y'all get interviewed?" Roc asked.

"Yeah" We all replied.

Somebody grabbed me by the waist. I got scared.

"Leave me alone!" I exclaimed as I started hitting the person.

"Lucky! Lucky! It's me Ray!" He turned me around. I stopped hitting him.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Ray!" I covered my mouth. 

"Why are you so jumpy?" He chuckled. I shrugged in response. "Well before all of the hitting stuff, I wanted to ask how it went?"

"It went pretty well. What about you?"

"Same"

"I want to go home. I'm tired." Moni groaned. 

"Yeah, you can use Roc's lips as a pillow." Ray joked. Moni hit his shoulder. 

Ray went to the exit and opened it. It didn't budge. 

"What??" He furrowed his eyebrows. 

"What's wrong, Ray?" Roc asked.

"The door won't open!" Ray exclaimed, pulling the handle rapidly. It was locked. 

"Pfft! Ray is a wimp! Let me open it." Jacob went to open the door. Instead of pulling it, he pushed it. It wouldn't open! What the heck is going on?!

"What the.." He trailed off, pushing it multiple times. 

"Huh? Jacob, you said I was what?" Ray laughed.

"Shut up! You couldn't get it open either!" Jacob retorted. 

We saw all 8 of the interviewers standing there. 

"Oh, thank God you're here! We're trying to get out of here to go home but the door won't open." Sky said.

They just put on some sly grins. I just knew something isn't right.

"It's a trap" I muttered.

"What was that Lucky?" Khella asked.

I had to do something. I got a potted plant and threw it at the door, causing the glass to shatter.

"Lucky, what the fuck?!!?" Ray yelled. I grabbed his hand. 

"Run!!!!" I yelled as I ran out.

Everyone ran out along with me. Destinee tripped and fell and the so called interviewers were coming towards her. I let go of Ray's hand and went back for her. 

"Lucky, no!" Ray said, trying to grab my hand. I yanked it out of his grasp and ran to Destinee. I started to fight them off.

"Lucky, what are you doing??!!" Destinee yelled. 

"I'm saving you. Now run!"

"No, I won't let--"

"Des just go! I'm coming, alright!" I interrupted her as I kicked one in the face. She nodded and ran off. 

I punched one and I was done. I was turning around to run but then one got two of their fingers and paralyzed me. I fell down to the ground. I screamed in agony. 

"Lucky!!" I heard Ray yell.

One of the men put me on his shoulder and ran with me to a strange car. 

"Get me out of here!!" I yelled as they sped off. They took a shortcut and a plane was revealed.

Oh no...
