A/N: I finally rewrote chapter 1 of this fic! Enjoy!

Laura was surprised when her mother had not picked her up from school. Luckily, Laura didn't live far from her school. And her friend Helen also was walking home.

"Did Ellie say anything about where she was yesterday?" Helen asked Laura as they walked down the road.

"No, she seemed a wee bit sad today," Laura replied.

"Its probably none of our business then," Helen said, sighing.

"Yeah, I'm sure she's okay," Laura said.

"Cya, Laura," Helen said as she turned into her driveway.

"Bye Helen," Laura said back with a small wave. Laura continued walking. She was close to her house now and she broke into a run to go see her mother.

She slowed down when she saw her house. There were 3 police cars, a military tank, and a prisoner transport truck. Was her mom being arrested?

She neared the house and knocked on the door. A policeman opened the door.

"Hello, are you Laura Brand?" He asked as more policemen joined him at the door.

"Yes, sir. What is going on?" Laura replied. A man moved closer to her and bound her wrists together with handcuffs.

"Laura Brand, you are under arrest for hacking into the US military base," The officer said. Laura then realized some guards from the american FBI were there. She suddenly Fell down, sobbing.

The door to the transport truck finally opened. Laura knew it had been at least 24 hours since her arrest. She'd only been given a small amount of food and water since she was taken away.

"Where are we?" Laura asked the officer who had now entered the truck and was undoing her ankle cuffs.

"All I can tell you is that we're at a prison in Saudi Arabia, and that you'll be here for 20 years." The officer said. Laura began crying again.

"Quite amazing that you're a child, however, only 5 children are being at this prison. It is very high-tech," the officer said.

"Well, I must take you inside," the officer said to Laura. Many other armed guards were outside the van.

Laura sat in her cell, bored to death. The first few hours she had actually been doing things, such as her mugshot, changing into her prison overalls and eating. Now she was stuck inside of a concretebox, doing nothing. During her meal, she met the other kids being held here. Only 2 out of the 5 spoke English like Laura. Every single one of them was insane. Alice, who spoke English, was a child terrorist. Juan was a boy who spoke Spanish. He had broken into banks all across Spain. Gerome and Raquel were both part of a terrorist group, and Erin was a British girl who broke into the queens house/castle. They all creeped Laura out, and she decided to stay as far away from those 5 as possible during her prison time.

Laura began singing a lullabye her mom used to sing to her. She missed her mom.

A/N: This actually didn't come out as horrible as I expected... Please Review!
