Not Knowing:
It was a normal day at Glenoak High School, except that two kids that went to the school had gone missing over the weekend. News reports were also saying that 4 other teens had been taken from there homes in Florida. The other four teens that had gone missing were: Katie Bell, Sarah Johnson, Brian Dunne, & Jake Fry. The teens that had gone missing from Glenoak were Ruthie Camden & Rachel Rodriguez. Where they were, nobody knew.
By the end of the week, the whole U.S. knew that we were missing, but we were no longer in the country. We had, unfortunately, been taken over to Iraq; our heads had been shaved, given rangy clothes, & put in a cell together in a camp. I had met an Iraqi girl, who had been kidnapped by insurgents and her father had been forced to be a soldier in Baghdad & she didn't know if he was still live or not. When we first got to the camp, we were put in a cell by ourselves, but then a week later, we were given an interpreter. Her name was Nyhassa. For short we named her Naomi & because she knew English she said we could call her that.
When we talked, we talked in English, so the guards couldn't understand what we were saying. We made a plan to escape when we were let out during the day to go anywhere in the camp. Nyhassa stayed with us at all times. Katie, Ruthie, Sarah & I came up with boy names so that when Nyhassa called us, we would know who she was talking to. Katie-Kit, Sarah-Sean, Ruthie-Randy, & I was called Rick.
