I once again found myself in an eerily familiar situation. My hands were tied together behind my back and the chair I was placed on was cold and hard. My head hurt but when I scanned my body as much as I could I didn't find any injuries. I couldn't believe my luck.

I freaking got kidnapped! AGAIN!!!

I groaned as I took in my surroundings. It was a fairly large room. Adorned with nothing but black paint and an isolated desk. There was only one source of light. And that hung over my head.

The long white ceiling lamp was too bright to look directly at and I squinted after foolishly looking at it. I tried to wriggle out of the tight rope but to no avail. My breath hitched as I remembered my last memory.

Leo.

My neck cracked at the speed at which I motioned to look around me. I was frantic and neurotic as I couldn't see him anywhere. In my peripheral I caught a glimpse and I realised a person was sat on a chair behind me.

The backs of both of our chair were facing each other. I strained my neck as much as I could to confirm if the person behind me was Leo. I heard a groan and I sighed in relief. He was okay.

I rested my craned neck against his head and called out to him. It took Leo a minute to absorb his surroundings and when he finally did, he worked hard at getting his ropes off his wrists.

"I can't believe this happened to me again. Out of all the things that I could chance upon twice. Meeting Roger Federer. Eating those 10 bags of chips I got half off. Accidentally tripping over my feet and landing in John Wells's arms". I dream about my past. Feeling a raging hunger build up at the mention of chips.

"Emma" Leo calls out but I don't seem to hear it. "I mean you can get us out of this right? Just do that superhuman ninja kick thing you do and Yippeee Ki-Yay these motherfuckers" I nervously giggle until Leo literally blows air in my ear.

"Hey" I whine.

"Emma listen to me carefully. There is a very tiny knife hidden in the dial of my watch. I can't reach it. You have to". There was no time to waste. And I almost laughed thinking about how this time he was the one who got kidnapped.

"So how does it feel being on the shorter end of the stick my friend? If you want to get out of it like I did then pray for a female captor", I burst out laughing and if I wasn't mistake I heard Leo let out a tiny chuckle.

My laughter died out as I whimpered at the rope that bit into my wrists. Concentrating, I persevered and hooked my finger on his watch. After a gruelling minute I finally found a ridge. I pushed on it and it clicked open and out came a tiny knife.

"Very good Emma. Now push it up to my hand" Leo ordered and I followed. Once he got it in his fingers he was fast in cutting open the rope around my wrists. I trusted his aim and the knife came nowhere in contact to my skin. I pushed out of my chair once I was free and opened his ropes. Slow at first as I did not trust my shaky hands but after a few seconds and a better grip I worked quicker.

At the same moment we heard some footsteps and Leo looked at me. No trace of panic on his face. "Act like we're still tied up" he said and I sat back down in my chair. I held the rope around my wrist in my hand and took a deep breath in.
