Kidnapped for Ransom

Chapter 5

The next day, Cindy is already awake, she's looking around the messy and dark room. 'At least we're not tied up' She thought. She also think that if they were to escape this early they will get into more trouble and get easily caught. 'First day, their eyes and other senses are still on us. If we got caught we might get tied up lessening the chance of escape. For now we could just behave and get their trust.' She thought. Ssuddenly she felt someone stir.

"Libby" She said kneeling down on the floor beside her best friend. The two are sprawled on the floor since they don't have beds or even a bed inside the room.

"Cindy...whe-where are we? " Libby asked as she sat up.

"Don't panic,  we're kidnapped" Cindy said

"What?! " Libby asked out loud widening her eyes

"Shhh,  we have to stay calm at all times. I know its hard,  but the good thing is they forgot to take my phone. I'm wearing a sling bag and I'm kind of shocked they didn't notice it" Cindy said showing Libby her mini bag.

"We could contact our parents" Libby said smiling.

"At least one of them,  we could get caught if we take so much time" Cindy said. The staying calm became hard to implement when the other person woke up.

"What the?!" Betty asked as she opened her eyes then everything started flashing back in her head. She quickly stand up. "Heelpp!! " She yelled

"Shh,  Betty,  Stay calm. Stay Calm" Cindy keep on repeating

"Stay Calm?! Who knows what those guys would do to us?!  Who knows what they want from us?!" Betty asked frantically looking around. 

"You scream help.. But this place is probably away from the city thus that signal can be useless and just get us into more trouble" Cindy explained

"Then help me find a way out!" Betty yelled

"You're going to attract the attention of the kidnappers" Libby said standing up.

"I already found a way out Betty,  but we first have to get the trust of those jerks so we can escape a little easier" Cindy explained in a hushed tone

"Well that is your specialty, how about you do that and while I escape right now" Betty said "Where is my purse?" She asked looking around

"What do you mean by that? " Cindy asked making Betty stand up and face her.

"Breaking people's trust..  That's what you always do anways,  Jimmy is right" Betty said and Cindy become so angry and about to slap Betty but Betty caught it. "Not this time Cynthia, You're not thinking very clearly. Face it,  you got affected because its true" Betty said and threw Cindy's hand away.

"Why are you always like that to me?! You'll act so nice when I'm with other people but when I'm alone,  aside now,  you always treat me so badly! I don't understand!" Cindy yelled

"Guys, shhh" Libby said. She want to know what's really happening between the two but now's not the right time.

"Just show me the way out then maybe we can start getting along" Betty said sternly. Cindy scrunched her eyebrows then sighed and nod her head.

"Follow me" Cindy answered and started walking behind the stack of wood boxes.  Behind is a window that has grills and a padlock.

"Seriously Cynthia,  we don't even have a key to open that.

"Libby,  I need hairpins" Cindy said as she picked up a black wood box and stand on it. Libby quickly took three out of her bun a few hair falling out. Cindy took it and smiled as the hair pin is made out of thick metal. She then slowly pick up the lock to not make a loud noise especially since its connected to a chain it'll be loud. She then put the two hair pins on her mouth and open the one in her hand and put one end inside the keyhole. She then took another hairpin and put it on the small hole near the keyhole. She then lifted the first hair pin up and pushed on the second one and it open. She looked at the two and took the hairpin out of her mouth and smiled. The two smiled as well. She then slowly took the podlock out of the chain but the chain fell making a loud noise. They widened their eyes and Cindy cursed inside her head. "Go,  go,  go" Cindy said and helped Betty up then opened the grills. As Betty had one foot up on the window the door opened. Quickly Betty raised her other leg up and jumped out, followed by Libby. Cindy is about to but..

"Hey!! " One of the kidnapoers yelled and Cindy widened her eyes.

"Cindy jump! " Betty yelled and Cindy is about to but one of the kidnappers put a hand on her mouth. She let out a scream but it is muffled. She was hoisted out of the window.

"No" Libby said but Betty quickly held her wrist and the two started running. "But Cindy" Libby said

"No time,  if we escape we can save her" Betty said as she keep running. The two are really good runners even if they're wearing heels.

Transition back inside the room...

Cindy bit the hand of the kidnapper making him let go of her mouth, Cindy then kicked him in the groin and is about to run away when 3 more of them walked in the room. "You don't scare me, I'm a black belt in karate! " Cindy yelled as she took few steps backward. The four just smirked and look at Cindy with an evil look making her gulp.

"Well,  so Are we" One whispered but loud enough to be heard. Cindy scrunched her eyebrows and start biting her lower lip.

"You have nowhere to run to little one...Unless... your parents give us what we want" One of the kidnappers said. Its the one in the drive seat.

"My Best Friend and Cousin already escaped,  they'll know this location and have you all in jail! " Cindy yelled
pointing at each and every member of the kidnapping scheme. Then someone hit her in her mouth making her fall to her side. While her left hand is on her lower left lip she slowly look up with an angry look, her eyes are a little teary.

"Like we would let that happen" Someone 'Probably the boss' Cindy thought said in a dark voice then gripped hard on her left arm revealing the side of her lip, its wollen, red and bleeding, she winced. "We are everywhere young lady,  they can't escape. We have someone in charge of takiing care of them" He said then threw her arm down. The three then went towards the opened window and locked it up again. But this time they added 10 more locks and nailed woods on it. After that they all left the room locking Cindy. She just stayed on the ground and started crying. She then saw her bag and opened it and got her cellphone out. She looked up the phone contacts and dialed one number,  the number she usually calls when she needs comfort or just wanted to talk.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Betty and Libby are running really fast. "There's the gate! " Libby exclaimeed excitedly and the two smiled. Betty quickly pulled a hairpin out of Libby's hair and started doing what Cindy does but it just wouldn't budge.

"Why isn't this working? " Betty asked

"Hey You two! " One of the kidnapoer guards yell.

"Climb! " Libby said and the two tried to but the guards hugged their waists and hoist them downwards.

"Let go of me you bastard! " Betty yelled struggling then hit the guy in the face but he didn't cease his hold on her. Libby is able to push her oppeonent down and steo on its stomach. She proceeded to help Betty and punch the guy down and did a karate kick sending him down.

"Let's go" Libby said but a lot more kidnappers went to them and pointed their guns at them.

"You think we will back down because of that?! Think again! You guys are just cowards!  I know that you took us for ransom if you kill us you won't get what you want!" Betty yelled and Libby held on her arm

"Betty" Libby said

"Shut up and let those bastards hear what they have to hear! " Betty yelled her eyes really furious looking at the kidnappers.

"Quiet down bitch! You have no idea who we are! We can kill! " One of them yelled

"You have no right to call me that! now,  let us go! " Betty yelled then a gun shot was heard making the two girls squeal.  They then looked and saw one of the gunmans have his gun upwards.

"Don't worry we're miles away from the city. No one can hear that meaning no one can come to help you. Even if you are able to run past this gates,  we have more members roaming around out there. So if I were you I will just surrender and do what we want so no one will get hurt" Said the one holding his gun up. Libby and Betty looked at each other with scared looks. Libby just nods her head at Betty who sighed. The two of them raised their hands up. Four of them took hold of the two..

"Hayys, You just gave us a hard time" Said one of them and they started walking in. The two glaring at the two people holding them.
