The van came to a stop and next thing Zach, Mike and Lizzie the back doors where opening.

"Get out" said the man.

Zach got out so did Mike holding Lizzie closely.

"Walk" said the man.

They walked as the man stayed behind them with a gun pointed at them. The walked for a long while before coming upon a old shack. The man opened the door and pushed them in, slamming the doors behind them.

The ride to this shack was very long. They could tell from looking out the front window that it got dark and light again before the arrived. Mike and Zach didn't sleep Lizzie went in and out of sleep as Mike held her. The couldn't talk while in the van the man would yell and threatened them if they did, so once in the shack they finally had a chance to talk. Lizzie also had a chance to finally breakdown and cry.

As soon as the door slammed, Lizzie burst into tears, she didn't know what was going on. Zach went over and hugged trying to calm her.

"Why did he take us?" asked Lizzie

Mike went over and put his hands on her waist: "We are going to be okay, I am going to get us out of here, I am not going to let him hurt you."

The tears slowed and he grabbed her and hugged her.

"That doesn't answer my question though" said Lizzie.

Mike looked up at Zach

"She's 15 she needs to know why we are here" said Zach

"Seconds before you came out back to find us, we saw that man dragging a body of a woman, but he spotted us, but then we could see him anymore and next we know he had you" said Mike.

Lizzie walked away confused: "So he took us, because you guys saw him with a dead person and I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?"

"Ya and Im sorry this happened, but I will do what ever it takes to get us out here" said Zach.

Before they could finish the conversation the man came back. He opened the door, but didn't come in.

"Here is food, I want to see each of your faces" said the man.

Mike walked over first but kept at the safe distance then Zach did but took Lizzie's hand. The man then shut the door and you could here the engine of a truck roar away.

Mike: I have no idea how I am going to get us out of here. I should have not tried to find the guy, if I didn't do that then Lizzie would never be here right now. No matter what  I am going to save her. Even if I have to give up my own life to do.

Zach: I feel absolutly sick to stomach. I know what happens in these kind of situations and I know especially what happens to the girls, but I am not going to let that happen. I will kill that man if I have to. I am going to save her not matter it takes, I am going to save her.

Lizzie: I know what happens in these kind of situations I have seen a millions times of television. Murder, Rape, Lost for ever. NO Mike and Zach will not let that happen, I know they won't, but what can they do to really stop it. He has the gun and all the power.
