To murder or to escape (2) DRAFT

Chapter 7

Dr jones.

"What the hell am I thinking to trust Amy?" I muttered to myself as I ran towards the Sydney opera house where I was instructed to meet her. I shook my head at myself at my placement of trust in Amy.

I pulled the sides of my jacket closed shivering from the chilly wind. I look up Squinting to see in the distance at the figures in front of the opera house. As I near the opera house I see a familiar face. Amy. She smiles and waves. I walk over to her smiling and waving all the way.

"You said Maddy and Jaz were kidnapped by Gary. How can I rescue them?" I asked calmly. Amy nods and hands me a folded piece of paper. I unfold it and read aloud what it said.

"It's true Gary did kidnap them and they are not in great condition. There are a few choices of ways to save them. 1) is to be captured and escape to help them escape. 2) you can battle them to rescue them." I looked at the paper for a moment thinking. She points to her mouth. I nod realising that she must have been punished by Gary. There was so much I didn't understand about Amy and Gary. I hoped to understand them one day.

"I think choice number one is a bit more realistic as I'm no fighter and am not one to hold a gun." I said slightly

Sheepishly. Amy smiled. I could see the thoughtfulness on her face. Probably remembering back to the fight in the casino.

"Amy?" she jumped out of her train of thought startled. She giggled. It felt good to hear her voice again. It had been weeks since I had. I smile along with her knowing she had a reason for everything she did. As sudden as the smile had come it was gone. She gestured for me to follow her. I obediently followed her into the Sydney opera house. We winded through the tall building. We reached a hallway with a broom closet. She looked both ways making sure no one was around. When Amy was convinced no one was around she pulled a small bronze coloured key out of her pocket. She unlocked the door and yanked me inside before quickly closing the door. I could barely see inside the room even with the light on. It was dark but I managed to see the outline of shelves. I watched as Amy looked around before shoving her hand into what looks like an empty paint can. I hear a button click before we are suddenly going down at an incredible speed. I glanced at Amy with fear written all over my face. She smiled rolling her eyes playfully.

"Elevator." she mouthed to me like it wasn't that obvious.

It wasn't long until we reached the bottom. At the bottom was a long tunnel filled with dull lights. The walls were bricked with dusty coloured bricks filled with graffiti and it's roof was around six feet high. I waited for Amy to go a few paces in front of me before following her. As we go along the tunnel I realise at the end is a door. We were about 4 metres away from the door when Amy collapses to the ground. I see a small dart in the back of her neck. Before I can even react I feel a sharp pain in the back of my neck. Everything goes fuzzy before darkness overcomes.

Maddys POV

It had been about two days since Amy had come with food and I was starting to realise how crucial those noodles had been. I wondered as I paced back as forth through my cell of why Amy had my come. I thought back to the last time I saw her when she was on her phone sending a text. But to who? that was the question. I knew all of Gary's mindless followers avoided Amy beside of her betrayal to Gary as id seen them. I remembered looking at her phone. She had, "Vira, jenny, Gary, Jaz, me and... dr jones." I muttered to myself listing all her contacts. "Dr jones." I repeated to myself. My eyes widened as I realised what Amy had done. She had sent a text to dr jones, but why? I had to find out. I assumed next time she came she'd explain.
