Shaggy was standing by the phone, heart beating fast. How was he supposed to get $1000 by 4pm tomorrow? He had a rich friend who lived in the upper class of the city. How would he repay him though? After thinking for another 10 minutes, he decided to ask his friend for the money.
He climbed back into his car and drove the 20 miles to the upper city, driving past Fred's house on the journey. He arrived at his friend's house. He urgently knocked on the door and Oscar answered.
"Hey mate, what's up?"
"Um, can I come in?"
"Sure."
Shaggy entered the house and went into the living room.
"So, what's up?"
"Ashley and Cassie have been kidnapped and the people who have taken them want $1000 by tomorrow. So, could I maybe borrow some money, I promise I'll repay you."
"Wait, Ashley and Cassie have been kidnapped?"
"Yes."
"And the people who have taken them want $1000 ransom?"
"Yes."
"Then yes, you can have it, you can have as much as you want."
"Really?"
"Yes, your girlfriend and daughter's safety is a lot more important than my money."
"Thank you. I promise I'll repay you."
"No you won't. Don't repay me, even if you take $3000, I'll still have money left."
"Thank you so much Oscar."
"No problem."
Oscar stood up and went to get the money. He came back 5 minutes later with $2000.
"You give them $1000 and keep the rest for you."
"Thanks."
"Anything else?"
"No. Well see you soon."
"Yeah I will. You go get them back, mate."
"I will."
"And be careful."
"I will."
Shaggy walked out and drove back home. When he got back home, he saw his door was bashed down.
"What the hell?"
He put his hand around the door to switch the light on. The electricity was out.
"Crap."
He got his phone out his pocket and turned the torch on. He shone the phone around the flat. He stepped inside the flat. The living room light was on. Whoever was in the house was in the living room. He stepped into the living room. He felt the punch before the pain. Everything went black.
OKay, so yeah, leavin ya on a cliffhanger :)
