At the station at office 8, Emily and her husband were sitting chatting at one table while Zack studied the video on another room, a sudden banging on the door takes their focus, Away from the things their doing.

"Is this office 8?"
"Yes" Emily replies back

The man is a tall blue eyes man appearing to be a business man based from his outfit.
He seems to have rushed all the way to the station according to his appearance.

"Jero your here" says Emily as she and her husband stand up. Zack in the other hand is gone busy. It is until Emily knocked at the tinted black glass to what appears to be the window of his mini office inside office 8. That he stand up and goes to address the man,

He offers his hand to Jero and Jero accepts it and shakes it.
"Officer I'm Jero Collins I'm Zero's father, what exactly happened to my Daughter"
Zack gave a gasped and explained everything and shows the video recording of his daughter.

Zero's POV.

It's been 2 days since I was abducted and sitting in this small white room, My only measure of time has when they bring me a burger to eat. Which they did thrice again. Each for breakfast, lunch and supper, I think.

What really striking is the room, all white, white pillow, white blanket, white comforter, and all the floor walls and ceiling white like a hospital.

Despite the three burgers a day I'm rather very hungry. Can I really live with three burger a day you think. I also long for a bath since I am starting to stink.

Without much to do and feeling very bored I again looked around and Into the light I notice a red light blinking into the side of the bulb, I'm assuming it's a camera for them to monitor me from getting away.

I notice immediately the shadows moving by the bottom of the door. From what I can tell, several people are at the hallway. I sit up and try to pay attention to what they are talking about. I glanced at the camera, where the blinking light is supposed to be. but the red light is no longer their 'Maybe they turned it off' I thought

Curious and thinking that the camera is off, I crawled at the door and got up up to peek at the sides I can't peek at the peeping door I might get caught, the people are at the opposite side of my door, so I have clear vision of them in where I saw three people in all white except for the shoes which is black, two of them appear to be nurses while the other is a doctor

The nurses opened the door there is a girl who appears to be shivering in her sleep at the tiled floor. And to sum it up she is barely dressed. wearing only a white sports bra and a white underwear, the two nurse then enter and take hold of her tight and she looks weak to do anything, the doctor then proceeds to the room and produces a syringe with a very long needle, longer than my middle finger. after the girl receives the shot she goes limp and could have collapsed if not for the nurses holding her. she then gets dragged out.

I gasped in shock as I saw her face, her face resembles a pig, big ears, round nose, like those of a pig. the nurses put her in a wheel chair they brought with them and cover her face with a black cloth. then go along their way.

I went back to my earlier place and wrapped my body with the blanket, my hands were clenched after a while of shaking in fear I heard footsteps coming closer to the door of my room then stopping, the guy took a peek, it was John I thought.

He then unlocked the door and went Inside, I stood up wearing the blanket shaking he nodded a signal for me to come outside. I went out and looked at the opposite door of mine, John was locking the door.

after Unlocking He then grabs me by the elbow and drags me me to what I remember this is the camera room. I only referred to it like that because the camera which is supposedly at the right but is now on the left and a laptop is now placed at a table along with a recording camera in front of a vacant chair.

"Sit" he commands and nods at the vacant chair in front the table as he takes his sit at the chair behind the table.

I bring out the small nail cutter and clench it with my my right hand to hide it from view before taking a seat.

"Oh wait?" John says and stand up

He pulls out a curled rope from his pocket and start placing my hand at my back and set to work in making on knot.

Satisfied he takes his seat at behind the table and starts operating the computer and and camera I looked at the CCTV at the left and it's not blinking like the one table n my room, maybe something is really wrong with the CCTV.

I then also start using the nail cutter to cut the rope binding my hands, slowly the rope is thinned as my hand started to gain more mobility to move. I looked to check on John, and to my dismay he's done with the laptop. So I clenched the nail cutter in my hand again to hide it

"Be ready, Baby girl" he says before before going behind me and suddenly I see a group of people starring from the laptop screen and with worried looks. I recognize them as my mom and step dad who are both worried based from their expression and behind them is my dad, my real dad sharing the same worried look as my mom and step dad. He came closer to the screen "Zero, you okay" he asked "don't worry I'll get you out of there "

"Alisha are you hurt" my mom moving in closer to the screen too.

"Mom, Dad, Father" I said as I pretended to strain against my bonds. Finally managing to snap the rope in two.

"Ok enough with the reunion talk!!" John takes his gun and points it in my neck.
