I went to go relax in my room, overwhelmed by the facts. The facts that my friends could be in danger. That I could be in danger. I sat down in frustration on my bed trying hard not to worry. How could this only be the begging? What am I going to do?!
I tried to hum softly to my own rhythm, in hopes that it would lull me to sleep. But it didn't, it only made it worse. I finally sat up, now fully awake. This "unknown" person was going to continue to haunt me whether its in my thoughts or on my computer. He was just another lonely ghost on the enternet, hungry for attention, for some one to fear him. But why should I fear him? He's given me no reason at all to fear him. Yes he was manipulating me and my friends, but that didn't mean he was capable of taking it to the next level. Or worse, over the edge. But if he was capable, where would it end?
Now I was frantic. If I didn't find a solution to this problem soon, I'd never be getting sleep.
I rushed hastily to my computer. I was going to check it again. What if what I saw was only worse than what I'd seen earlier?
As if to answer my question, the screen of my computer went to the unthinkable. My fears turned to phobias, my worries into uncontrollable anxieties.
It was like a sad song was playing softly in my head to only add to the drama of this moment.
What I saw was most definitely the works of a monster.
A you tube video popped onto my screen, immediately playing. The camera was flashed onto a women; Suzy. Suzy Moncia, my colleague, my friend.
She was tied to a chair with duct tape covering her mouth. She looked frail, unhealthy. How long had she been there? "Unknown" had only sent her thatmessage yesterday. She obviously had responded immediately to his email. She cared about me?
That's beside the point! A screaming voice shouted aloud.
She is tied to a chair, being held hostage because of you! This is your upbringing, so you do something about it!
Suddenly a back round noise sounded in the video. I immediately recognized the sound. It was very odd for a sycotic person such as "unknown" to be playing a song like Firework by Katey Perry.
The lyrics spoke:
Baby your a firework...
But then the music changed to another to another song. Another oddly familiar song rang in my ears. Just A Dream by Nelly played.
The lyrics spoke:
I travel back down that road...
Once again the song changed. Why was "Unknown" repeatedly changing the songs? He wasn't even letting them finish through a single sentence. It sounded very unprofessional for a sycho such as himself. An organized sycho would at least appear organized. Not to mention, he wouldn't play girly songs like that. I mean, really? No guy would listen to Katey Perry and put it on You Tube. Wait, what if he, WAS A SHE?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the crap? Wait, don't jump to conclusions Mack! But a chick?! Really?! What demented plans could unravel in a chick's mind?
It is still possible.
And not only that, but what is up with him/her changing the song constantly? Almost like it was...PLANNED OUT. OF COURSE! THIS WAS ALL PLANNED! THIS IS A CLUE!
My mind awoke from my internal battle to the sound of Britteny Spears singing Hold It Against Me.
It said:
I need a vacation...
Suddenly the music clicked off. "Unknown" stepped in front of the camera, face and body covered. The chest area was covered, so I had NO idea if it was a man or a woman.
"Hello Mack Daniels. Yes, this was planned. I intend to keep it that way." the man/woman spoke, using some sort of a voice distorter contraption thing.
"Have you noticed the message yet? The music? Maybe I shall replay it for you again."
All of the sudden the song clips played from first to last going from Katey Perry, to Nelly, to Britney Spears. All of course girl's songs...
"Have you deciphered the message yet? I should hope that you do soon. I'm going to be attaching a small bomb to Suzy here. Unwind the message soon and you might be able to save your friend...or shall I say, friends? Yes, I am capturing others within the next few hours. And don't you dare call the authorities into this one either! Not that they wont get sucpicous from seeing this new You Tube video...anyways, back to the point. When you decipher this message it will reveal our location. Or at least Suzy's. When you get here you will also be given the next clue to your other friend's locations. If you get here in exactly six hours Suzy will live."
I could tell that "Unknown" wasn't fooling around. He/she attached a bomb to Suzy's neck, and it immediatly started counting backwards from six hours.
"Go ahead sweety, say what you rehearsed." he/she said, ripping the duct tape from Suzy's mouth, forcing her into a momentary set back. That had to hurt.
She spoke quickly saying, "Mack we're off of 47th street in-"
She never got to finish because "Unknown" had made sure to re-tape her mouth before she continued any further. Naturally. Don't make this easy for me.
"There you go Mack. You better get working quick too. If you don't poor Suzy here will be blown to bits." Suzy sobbed quietly in the back round because of the duct tape on her mouth.
"Let's see you better get those clues written down fast before you shitty memory forgets them."
I obeyed, writing all of the clues down. Let's see here, baby you're a firework, travel back down that road, and I need a vacation. Oh! Let's not forget that they're on 47th street.
"Better work quick." he/she said.
Before the camera clicked off "Unknown" stepped behind the camera. The last shot on the screen was the most devastating one. It was a picture of Suzy sitting in the chair, pleading me with her eyes to save her from this horrifying person.
The camera clicked off, leaving me in an area on my computer that showed me that this video had already had one thousand hits! It had just been uploaded a half hour ago and this sick, sick nation decided it was some how entertaining.
But I didn't need to dwell on that fact. "Unknown" was right, I didn''t have much time.
I had to get working fast.

Author's note:
So...do you think Mack can decipher the message? Will he get to Suzy fast enough? Is there some sort of relationship going on between him and Suzy? Is "Unknown" a man or a woman?
