Kidnapped ~Noen Eubanks~

Chapter 7

~The truth~

Lauren's POV

We sat on the floor as I was crying in Noen's embrace.
In a split second I forgot what was happening.

I felt safe in his arms.

I slowly backed away and noticed the stain my tears left on his shirt.

"Sorry about that." I said quietly.
"Don't worry about it." he said.

I was staring at Noen and he did the same. We sat there like that until I got up and broke the silence.

"So um" I said "What now?"

"I have a plan." he said smiling.

"A what?" I asked confused.
"A plan. For us to escape." Noen said and stood up.

"Wait" I said taken back by that "I thought you didn't want to escape."

"I did. But I was too scared." he said.

"Okay. What's the plan?"

"Let's just go and see where the road takes us."

"Wow." I said acting surprised "That's gonna get us out of here. And we are most definitely not gonna get caught."

"Do you want to stay here?"

"Well I-"

"Let's just go."

Noen grabbed a knife that was on the table and started cutting the duck tape slowly.

"What if those guys come back?" I asked.

"Nothing. We'll be gone by then."

He opened one window and gave me his hand, so I grabbed it and we got out of the house.

We were walking slowly down the sidewalk in the opposite direction to which we came from.

We tried our best to stay unnoticed.

After half an hour of walking we got to a gas station and got inside.

Neither of us had no idea where we were so we wanted to ask one of the employees for the location.

They told us so we borrowed their phone to call a taxi to my street.

We did so but when the taxi arrived, a familiar vehicle pulled over at the gas station.

It was the guys from earlier.

They saw us and yelled "Noen! Where do you think you're going?"

We hurried and got into the taxi so I quickly told the driver my adress.

Even though we told him to drive faster, he didn't.
He went in the direction we came from.

Soon, he pulled over into the street from before.

He turned to us and said "You thought you could escape so easily,huh?"

A shiver went down my spine and I took Noen's hand instinctively.

"You're going back there."

The two guys who got us in the first place took us out of the taxi and led us inside the house.

Again.

"I thought you guys wanted to help us!" I said.

"Not until we get your money." One of them said smirking.

"And now" the other one said "We have your adress."
