Chapter 2, What could go wrong?

I was sitting in class busy with work when I glance up to Robyn finding her trembling with fear. Whatever she read on her phone must have been terrible. She ran out of the class. Out of curiosity, I followed her.

Two buffed guys threw Robyn in the back of a black van, tied and gagged. Am I witnessing a kidnapping? Shit, I face slapped myself for being an idiot. I should probably do something. When they jumped in the van, I crouch stealthy before I ran, leaping forward, managing to grab on to the back of the vehicle. A Sizzling burning sensation grew as I tighten my grip. The van jerked me back and carried on. Moments later, the van gradually slowed down, stopping at an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere. The kind that creeps you out when you look at it. The type that gives you death chills. I jumped and rushed to hide behind a bush. Looking at my surroundings, I can tell you two things. There are two guys, maybe more, and I'm screwed.

The one guy that looks huge like Dwayne Johnson carried her inside as the other guy suspiciously scouts the area, I followed at a safe distance, staying out of sight. The two guys were chatting about something, but I couldn't make out the words. I climbed up the stairs daring not to make a sound. Upstairs had a clear view of the guys, Robyn is unconscious and tied down to the table, my eye caught something shiny near a pile of metal junk, behind that is an oil drum. Okay, I need a weapon, so I searched around, being cautious not to make a noise. I end up finding an iron pole in the metal junk. "This might work." I tugged the pole a bit harshly, accidentally hitting a tin down.

"Oh, god. I'm dead. Why am I so clumsy?"

My body instantly soaked with sweat. Just then, I realised that this is the worst plan ever, and every bad situation runs through my head. Why couldn't I call the cops and let them handle it, after all, I barely know her? Huge footsteps seemed to come closer. I crouched behind the oil drum. If my heart can just beat softer, I might be able to survive this.

The guy that had the body of Dwayne walks past me, sneaking behind him, I kicked him in his groin. "Oh, that got to hurt," I winced as he dropped to his knees, not wasting any more time. I swing the pole, knocking his daylight's out. His body fell to the ground. "you can gym your ass off to strengthen your body, but you can't strengthen your head," I mutter under my breath, smiling proudly.

I slowly get close to him as I have a feeling that he might just be waiting for the perfect moment to jump me. I poke him with the pole, making sure he was out. When satisfied, I searched him for anything useful. I found a knife, Taser, and some ropes. Ropes that I used to tie him up.

I rushed downstairs, not caring about the noise I make, thinking it's going to be just that easy to get the other guy. I reached down. To my surprise, there's no one around. It's dark and deserted with Robyn in plain sight. Easy yeah right, of course not. The second guy grabs me from the back, in an attempt to hold me down. I manage to free my right hand, reaching for the Taser, but was stopped by a sharp pain in the lower side of my back. Jolts of excruciating pain quickly spread throughout my body, stopping me in my tracks, I scream, but that's now useless since his free hand covers my mouth.

I look back, his other hand securing the knife in my back. That's it I'm going to die here, but I can't let this be for nothing, with every ounce of energy in me, I try to finish what I failed to do the first time. My free hand slowly slips down, reaching for the Taser. My fingernails scraped the rubber handle. Almost there come on. I grabbed ahold of my hope and pressed it against his body, ignoring my pain.

Zap*
He let's go of me, falls to the ground, still conscious. Maybe it was the adrenaline or the fact that I'm going to die that gave me the strength to turn around to Taser him again. This time I pressed it against his throat.
