Chapter 70

I unfolded the paper when I got back to my cell and scanned over it,

Be ready at 3PM. xx

I smiled and stuck the Evapopaper in my mouth, smiling as the sweet candy floss flavour hit my tongue.

I looked at my watch, it was 12 noon now, so I had three hours to wait. I knew they would be long and slow but it would so be worth it.

At five to three I sat up and slipped on my trainers, I stood to the side of the door, listening and waiting for something to happen. I remembered back to when I was fifteen and had been waiting in Roseville Town Square for Josh. Then I had thought that time couldn’t have gone slower … I guess at that uneducated age I was wrong! 

At five past I began to worry, Zach was late. What if he’d been compromised? Hurt?

I decided to give him another five minutes and if he still wasn’t here I’d have to break out, some how.

Two minutes forty. Two minutes thirty nine. Two minutes thirty eight. I counted down in my head, only stopping when there was a clanking of metal outside the door.

“Cammie?” Zach muttered as he opened the door. I turned and hugged him tightly, not wanting to ever let go.

“Sorry I’m late,” Zach hugged me back.

“I was worried!” I scolded him.

“Come on,” He grabbed my hand, “We’ve not got long.” 

I followed him at a run as he lead the way out of the prison like building and in to the afternoon sun.

“Can you run about a mile?” he turned to me.

“Yeah,” I nodded and we both broke out in to a run.

“Joe?” Zach pressed his ear, “I’ve got her… yeah, as planned … okay.” He held my hand as we ran, “Your mom caught up with Joe and I, that’s why I was late.” He explained, “They’re waiting for us along this road.”

“How far are we from school?” I asked him.

“A couple of hours,” He told me, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Just shaken up,” I nodded as he pulled me to a stop.

“I’ve been worried sick,” Zach sighed and gently held my shoulders, “I love you.”

“Me too,” I leant in to kiss him as there was a shout from behind us.

We both looked to the single man running after us, Zach pushed me forward, “Run!” He told me as I went. I ran a good hundred meters away from him before I was grabbed by another man.

“No!” I screamed, “Zach!” I yelled, kicking and punching at the person that had grabbed me. I was being sloppy, this was really bad form I was barely even trying.

“Stop struggling.” The man ordered, producing a knife from his thigh.

“Please,” I begged, “Please just let me go.”

“Cammie!” I heard Zach call in the distance as the man pulled my face to his. 

My breathing came in short shallow bursts,
