Stolen art

~Chapter five~

Angi slept over that night, and as usual Linda and John never come to check on me especially after they yell. Well mostly John yelling anyway. I woke up and rubbed my eyes I sat in bed for a few minutes, then finally got out of bed to sit on the window sill and look out the window. It looked all the same to me every morning. the same scene, the same sun that slowly filling my bed room, the same feeling of hopelessness. I just got tired of it. I balled my hand into a fist I went to Angi and shook her slightly awake.

"Ember? What is it? Do you here someone coming?" She sat up fast and listened.

"No." I say she turned to me confused.

"Where doing things a little differently today." she had an exited smile.

" Let's get ready then." She got up quickly. We got changed quickly but quietly.

" My parents won't be home till late tonight, so we can have some fun after the interview." I say putting on my hoodie.

" Oooooo, Ember coming to the dark side. we gotta stop by my house before we do anything so I can get you really ready I'm taking you to this cool night club I know. It'll be so much fun!!" She is excited, I knew why. It was different I never wanted to because I was to afraid but now it's time to start trying new things for once. I gave her the look to stay still and be quiet so I could go down stairs to show my face before they leave today, I started down the stairs and into the kitchen. not a word was said. Just a few glances here and there, Linda was siting at the table and John to. when I walked in they both looked up, John motioned for me to sit down. I did what was insinuated.

" Ember, you know your mother and I will be leaving shortly." I nodded.

" I have made some changes from what we normally do. this time all the doors to the outside will be locked, and the first floor windows as well. so you are not to leave this house and no one is to come in, and they will all be locked by one key. Which I will have." he stood up like their was no reasoning against it. He went around locking every first floor window and every outside door except the front where they would leave out of. He came prepared he didn't want me getting out. he put separation bares on the windows so they could not open, and pad locks with keys on the doors. As they started to leave he armed the door to go off if opened and he closed the door and locked it. I was trapped. I marched up stairs to my room.

"Well I guess we have a change of plans today." I flopped on my bed.

" Well..." she paused. I sat up and looked at her.

" If I evesed dropped correctly. they said only the bottom windows were locked...correct?" She had an idea in her mind that I knew I would not like.

"Come on Ember! Just jump!" Angela is yelling up as I'm hanging on to the gutter for dear life.

" It's not that far!" She places her hands on her hips.

" Fine!" I yell back and I jump and fall to the ground.

" You ok?" She leaned over me.

"Yeah I'm fine just admiring the grass." I said sarcastically. I got up and brushed my self off, and decided never again!!!!! We started walking, we got to some familiar places that we saw. We walk down a bad road and we get whistled at by random guys at first but Angela just pushes me along. After a while I walked strait into someone and land on my butt.

"I'm so sorry!" I said getting up and to hopefully help the other person up as well. but it didn't knock them down. I looked up.

" it's fine, looks like you were the only one who seem to need some help." I know that voice it was his. when I looked up I saw his face, he had a hood on this time it was thin and gray and worn to its last fiber. I couldn't say anything else to him, I was speechless. He grabbed my arm and helped me up.

" So what's your name?"he asked a little curious.

"E----."then I felt a shove and I was bing pushed forward.

" She's NOT interested!!" Angela snapped at him. I looked back at him and he places his hands in his pocket and she kept pushing harder.

" he was a major hustler alert Ember!!! I just saved your life!" I looked back. I didn't see what she was talking about he seemed kinda normal, at leased for a nice guy. About to an hour or an hour and a half we got to the Montreal art Museum. we walked into the building and every thing seemed frantic, we looked at each other and proceeded to look for the owner or director of the art museum. With some luck we stumbled across maybe someone who can help, and where the missing portrait used to be.
