Kyle headed down another hallway, he noticed that this one had cells in it. He looked in all of them hoping to find Missy, but they were all empty, except for one...the old makeshift cell had a girl in it. She appeared to be about sixteen...his age. Her back was facing the bars so she could not see him. He tapped on the bars with his hook to get her attention and she nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard him. When she saw him, she screamed. Kyle motioned her to be quiet. She calmed down and started stumbling towards the door. Are you hurt? he asked the girl. The girl's voice was hoarse, and muffled, but, she did not appear to be hurt. What is your name? he asked, A-Ann. She replied, sounding very frightened.
Kyle promised to get her out of the cell. Do you know where the keys are? he asked. She pointed to a abandoned guard desk at the far end of the hallway. He started to walk towards it, anxiously searching for the keys. He found them under a old newspaper, he read the front article, it was about a girl, Ann Velvort: age ten, who went missing on May 26th 2009. Kyle did not read any further, there was no time, he wanted to get back to her.
He walked back to the cell and for the first time Ann noticed his hook, OH GOD! she exclaimed. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?! The sound of desperation in her words. Calm down, he said , I had a small accident...don't worry about it. The last thing he wanted to do was to get her upset. Kyle unlocked the door. Ann jumped out of the cell and grabbed him in a hug so tight he thought his hook would pop off. She was sobbing on his shoulder, thanking him over and over again. Once Kyle was able to calm her down, they went into the next room.
As they walked through the door there were two more men with knives waiting for them. Kyle grabbed his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger. He shot one of them in the stomach, unfortunately, that was his last shot. He had no more bullets. It's now time to see how this hook works, he said to himself. He told Ann to get behind him and to stay out of the way. Kyle was in a stand off position with the last guy, they both lunged at each other. The man cut Kyle across his right eye brow to the middle of his nose. Kyle screamed in excruciating pain as he sliced the man across the neck with his hook. He told Ann she could come out and that it was safe...for the moment. Ann saw that he was hurt and began to cry. Kyle assured her he would be fine and suggested they keep moving on, in hopes of reaching safety...and surviving
They walked in to the last room which looked to be an office. The man with the briefcase was in the office...and he had a gun pointed right at Missy's head. Kyle started to walk towards him, but the man made a gesture with the gun and Missy whimpered. I will get you out of here, Kyle reassured his sister. Missy replied with tears. You killed all of my men, the man said, your father had a debt to pay, he owed us a lot of money. What about my mother, Kyle questioned with anger in his voice. A simple misunderstanding between your mother and my men, he said. Let my sister go, she has nothing to do with this, Kyle said. She does now, the big guy replied. You killed all my men, now you must pay the price, he spoke the words with venom in his tone. With that said, he aimed his gun, pulled the trigger and Missy fell to the ground. Kyle just stood there, stunned with his mouth open and tears streaming down his face. Ann was behind him, sobbing, unable to control her sadness...now, said the man, it is time for you to die...Mr. Anderson...with those words spoken, he aimed the gun at Kyle and squeezed the trigger...
THE END OF PART ONE
