SNATCHED.

friends !!

I tiptoed over to the window, making sure not to make too much noise. Harry walked up behind me and whispered '"Are you sure we don't need the keys to undo the locks?" I looked back at him and said "No, they'll handle it." He put his hands up and stepped back "Alright, i'll sit back and let them work their magic." I rolled my eyes and turned back to look at the 4 people standing outside, all dressed in black. I was so glad to see them I could've cried. I was nervous for a moment because I thought the locks were on the inside, but luckily, they were outside. I watched as one of my friends (I couldn't tell who) took bolt cutters and cut the locks. I quickly opened the window and let them climb in, careful not to make too much noise. Once they all climbed in, they rushed over and hugged me. "Gracie! We're so glad that you're safe." Taylor said, taking off her mask. The other 3 did the same. To give a little backstory, my friends Taylor, Rylee, Livi, Sabrina, and I were on a trip to Japan together last year when we were recruited by a Japanese agency to train as ninjas and help fight crime. We stayed in Japan for the entire summer and trained, leading us to master the art. We were then sent out to defeat some of the most evil mob bosses in the country. Afterwards, we received the highest honorary medals in Japan and were sent back home as heroes. The U.S government was informed of our talents and occasionally sent us out on top secret missions in foreign countries as well as in America. During our free time, we attended school and functioned like normal teens. Now, back to the present. Livi, Rylee, Sabrina, and Taylor all sat on the bed as Harry and I filled them in. When I was finished, they were all very eager to fight their way out of here. "Gracie, I'm glad that you called us here,'' Livi began, "But why couldn't you just fight your way out by yourself? I mean, you're an amazing fighter by yourself." Harry cut in: "My father is a very skilled fighter as well. He'd be able to take down Gracie alone but all of you? No way." Then, Rylee stood up and said "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets serial-kick some ass." Just as we were all readying ourselves, the door busted open. Standing there was Harry's dad with a handgun in one hand and a dagger in the other. "You lot aren't going anywhere" he yelled. Then, he charged.
