Cutting Ties

Chapter 7

Sophia's POV

After our discussion on our escape we slowly sneak our way out and slowly but surely walk the hallways. This place is huge like HUGE HUGE. It brings back the memory of how this guy started out so small in an and now to this big factory warehouse location.

We stayed close together and no light shown because apparently windows don't exist here and so far it's been dark but since we're used to the dark now after a while being here it's not so bad.

"Gosh I don't even know where we are." Bailee as she volunteered for the role of line leader to at least get us somewhere. 

"You're telling me I feel like we've walked in circles in all honesty." I said bluntly

"I know it's hard but we can find a way out." She said as she began to look around.

In my opinion from what I gathered being here I feel like we're in a basement somewhere in this area, how they got us in is one thing but getting out is another complicated story. 

"Wait guys look." Bailee said as she pointed up toward the ceiling. Up top almost 10 feet off the ground we see a door almost like a door to a storm cellar. 

"How are we going to get up there?" Monica asked as she looked up. 

We looked around hoping to find something rather be a latter, chair, something. Hopefully we get out soon because sooner or later we'll probably get caught and I don't want to see them hurt or worse.

Guadalupe's POV

It's been a few hours later of me working on finding the location but as well as finding a route to get there. So far I have a plan but I keep changing it last second. I get up and stretch sitting in one spot for almost 5 hours can do a toll on you. 

I look around my room looking at my certificates, awards, and a lot of photos of people who made an impact on my life. Specially a photo of my parents sadly the only photo I have of us. After my aunt and uncle looked through the house after the murder, they were able to recover a few things especially this picture.

I grab it off the wall and stare it. 

"Mommy...Daddy...I miss you guys so much." I hugged the photo as I felt a tear slowly slide down my face. I had so many questions about everything especially questions to ask my father. Why and how did he know Ricky? What his motive? How did he get my father to be on his side? 

I look at the photo again.

"I will avenge you guys. I promise." I said as I hung back the photo in its rightful place. I went back to my desktop and continued back to work. 

After a few seconds pass by my phone rings. I checked the caller ID to see that it's my aunt. 

"Hello?" 

"Guadalupe hey sweetheart I just wanted to call you and check to see if you're ok." 

"Hey Aunt Lucy and yea I'm ok just doing some work right now." I said as I positioned myself to get comfortable in my chair.

"Well I just wanted to check up on you since it has been a while." She said with a hint of guilt in her voice. I don't blame them in all honestly they're busy people with their business trips and honestly working ever since the day I was born, it's been hectic for them. 

"I know and I'm glad that you did check up on me I missed you." I said as I got a bit teary eyed 

"Awh sweetheart we missed you too just remember that we will always love you." She said as I felt her smile over the phone. 

"Thanks and love you too." I said 

"Well I gotta go soon but if you need anything just call." 

"Alright see you later auntie." 

"See you later sweetheart take care bye bye." 

"Bye bye." I said as I hung up.

I immediately got back to work and after another half hour I finally got an estimated location with coordinates. 

Grayson's POV

Ethan and I have been sitting on the couch for a while, we talked about stupid stuff like telepathy, how we were in the womb together, and thoughts of building a house came out of nowhere. We're weird but hey what do you expect. 

We heard the door open and Guad walking out in her hand a small flash drive. 

"Guys get ready we are heading out tomorrow to find them." She said 

"Do you need anything to prepare or?" I asked as I stood up. 

"Well just dress up in something comfortable and something you're not afraid to get down and dirty with." She said as she went upstairs to her room.

"Well E, I guess it's time." 

"I guess so Gray, let's go home and plan this."

We left Guad's house and headed back to our house, the car ride silent. I'm honestly scared for my life but I'll do what it takes to get Bailee and the others back home safe and sound.

"We're coming."
