It's all fun and games in the daytime. Children laughing, playing, people walking around, talking and hanging out. But when the clock strikes 10 at night, its a nightmare. Especially on 2300 Jackson Street, that's where all hell breaks loose. Thugs...
I groaned in frustration & opened my eyes. Where am I? I looked around in confusion. Why am I in a van? What the fuck happened? How did I get here?
"I think she's awake!"

"What the fuck" I sat up but I couldn't move. I looked down & noticed that I'm tied up. I panicked & tried to escape. I squirmed around.
"WHAT THE HELL?"
"SHUT UP" The man yelled.
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"Lucy, go put some duct tape on her mouth. That should be easy for you to do" The man said aggressively while driving.
"Okay, Eugene" Lucy said sarcastically.
She crawled to the back of the van & pulled out some tape from a black duffle bag. She tore some off & put it on my mouth. I tried to scream again but it ended up sounding like muffling.
"There, that should keep you quiet" She said crawling back to the front.
I kept screaming to somehow get their attention again but they just ignore me. We arrived at an abandoned house. I managed to rip off the duct tape.
"Where are we? Who are you? What did you do to me?"
"The boss said to dropped her off here & get the money!" Eugene said parking the van.
"We're gonna be rich baby! I'm going to open up my fashion store like I've always wanted to do" Lucy said.
"And I'm going to be able to pay some debts that I'm behind on" He exclaimed.
"I love you Eugene" she said.
"I love you too baby" he said.
They kissed passionately. I rolled my eyes in disgust. Is they seriously making out in front of me right now? They both got out of the van & dragged me out. My heels were gone, it was just my bare feet. My feet were covered in dirt. We approached the building & went inside. It was a old mansion back from the 80s. I remembered reading about it when I was fifteen. A couple that was living here were going through some trouble so they decided to kill each other. It was a murder-suicide. Their bodies were buried in the floor broads.
They threw me on the dusty floor. "Where's the money?" She asked.
"I don't know, i'll go find it. You stay here with her" he said before leaving.
I squirmed around attempting to escape again. Lucy stood there shivering because of the coldness in the air. She looked scared & frightened by the place. I have a plan!
"Are you seriously about to risk your life kidnapping me & bringing me here for some money?"
She looked down at me "yes, I need this money. I have to make my store so I can show off my fashion designs."
"I know someone that can help you without having do to this!"
"Your lying, your just trying escape" she scoffed.
"I'm serious, she's my best friend. She's big on fashion. I can take you to her if you let me go."
"How do I know your not just tryna to trick me?" She questioned.
"Because I know you don't want to do this. Its not the risk of going to jail or dying over. You can make money the right way. Just let me go & we can go back to California."
She thought about it for a second. Then she hesitated at first but bent down & to untied me. I stood up & dusted myself off. I felt a cold object touched my back.
"Try anything & i'll kill you" she said pointing a pocket knife at me.
"Alright" we walked towards the door quietly & opened the door. But before we could take a step, we heard a scream. We both jumped by surprise.
"What was that?"
"It sounded like Eugene!" She ran towards the hallway.
"Wait, I don't think its safe!"
"That's my man, I can't live without my man!" She continued running following his screams. So close to escaping, then I heard her scream. Footsteps started to approach my direction. I ran outside towards the van & got in. Then I realized, I don't have the key! How the fuck am I supposed to escape?
"Need some help?"
