Susan Hollander clung to her children in the darkness, terrified out of her mind. How could she have been so wrong? How could she have let herself be fooled by a rapist and a murderer? The man who had said he loved her just minutes ago was now keeping her and her children as prisoners in the basement, probably planning to kill them. She shivered and held Zack and Gracie tighter.
Suddenly, the trapdoor opened and light flooded the small space. She blinked, momentarily unable to see and tried to push her children behind her. Something dropped at her feet with a metallic sound and she heard Theodore's voice, raspy and barely above a whisper.
"Get outta here."
Then there was the dull sound of a body crumpling to the ground.
Finally regaining her vision, she saw their captor unconscious next to the trapdoor and the car keys at her feet.
For a few moments she stood completely frozen on the spot. Then she slowly picked up the keys and cautiously stepped out of their small prison, keeping her eyes on the figure on the ground and extending her left hand to help Zack and Gracie out.
"Get in the car, come on." She ushered them, her voice shaking.
She slowly backed towards the car as well, still not daring to look away from Theodore, as if she expected him to jump up and chase them. At the same time she wondered what was wrong with him but she didn't dare come near enough to check.
She finally got in the car with Zack and Gracie already on the back seat. Susan started the engine and turned the vehicle back towards the road. She could still see the body in the rear view mirror. She stepped on the gas.
