Luckily, Rick got over the fence in time. He ran as fast as he could and hid in the bushes. The guards took me to Jack and told him what happened. Jack told them to tie me up and go after Rick. I begged him not to. "Jack he won't say anything I promise, please let him go". I begged. "Shut up you dumb little girl, you just made things worse for yourself" he spat. I prayed seriously that Rick doesn't get caught. "You five follow, look for the boy. If he tries to escape shoot him. The rest of you get ready to move" Jack said. "Jack please. Please I'm begging you please" I kept begging. Instead of listening, he gagged my mouth with duck tape.

I kept mumbling through it. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he asked them to take me to the van. Rick saw their cars passing and hid himself well. He was injured from running through the bushes. When their vans passed, he kept running. He saw a car pass by. He was sure it wasn't their car because all their cars were black. He waved the car down.

Rick's POV
I waved the car down. The person picked me up probably because I was injured and in the middle of nowhere. "Police station! please! now!" I said while trying to catch breath. The driver asked what happened to me. I said "I just escaped from a kidnapper but he has my friend so hurry". We went to the station, I asked them to give me a phone.

They all looked at me like I was crazy. I mean I don't blame them. My clothes are torn all thanks to the branches, my hair is messy and all over the place, I have bruises on my hands, legs, face, virtually everywhere. "Please. My name is Richard Jones. My best friend and I were kidnapped by a psychopath. She helped me escape but she got caught. I barely managed to escape. She needs my help and they can move her anytime now".

I told them the place and asked for a phone to inform Fanny's parents and mine. " Hello" came an anxious voice on the other side. "Hi Mrs S." I said. "Richard? Richard! Oh thank God you're okay. Where's Estaphania?" Fanny's mum asked. "I'm sorry ma'am she didn't make it". " Don't tell me she's.... " Mrs S said. Immediately, my brain clicked. "Oh no ma'am. She got caught but she's alive". I said quickly.
I heard the sigh of relief she gave. "I'm at a police station. I've told the officers everything. They're on their way to the house right now. I'll soon head home to see my parents but I'll be right......" BOOM!

What's happening why am I seeing smoke. I can hear some people faintly. I'm trying to move but my thigh hurts a lot. I managed to sit up but my thigh felt really heavy. I looked down at it and saw a piece of metal in my thigh. I looked around. Officers were running outside. There was an explosion. Some of them went to try to stop the attackers. An officer called 911. The people responsible for the explosion were no where to be found. Not too long after, some ambulances came. Many people were injured. I was kept in an ambulance. The paramedics wrapped my thigh with some gauze and bandages. Not too long after, we arrived at a hospital.

I was rushed to the emergency and was told I needed surgery for the piece of metal which happened to be from a chair to be removed. Not too long after I was taken to the operating room. I was kept under anaesthesia so I don't know what happened next. I opened my eyes and saw my parents beside me. My dad rushed to call the doctor while my mum held my hands and asked me how I was doing. "I'm fine now mum, no need to worry" I told my mum. The doctor came as fast as she could and examined me. She asked how I felt. I told her I was okay. She asked if I felt pain. I told her just a little but I was fine. Few hours later, I was moved to the general ward. I was discharged about two days later. I was really fine but the only thing I wasn't okay with was that I had no idea where Fanny was or what was happening to her.
