Chapter 4 – The Captor and the Captive

Danny woke up with a splitting headache wondering where he was. He looked around and didn't recognize anything. His wrists and ankles really hurt too. He tried to look at them and rub them but he couldn't move his arms or legs. Someone had tied him up. He tried to think about the last thing he remembered. I….I remember reading a note….a warning to stay away from someone….but I didn't show it to anyone else…..I left the room leaving the note there and then I walked to the cafeteria to check out….The Stage!…someone else was in there…..behind the stage….then…nothing….I woke up here…..tied up….."Where am I? Hello! Is anyone here?" He struggled to get loose and found a pipe sticking up from the ground about five inches, a couple feet away. He slowly turned his body towards the pipe and carefully rolled to it. He managed to get himself next to the pole and saw it had a sharp piece sticking out of the side. "I don't know how well this thing will work, but it's all I got." He started to rub his hands up and down against the broken pipe piece. He could feel it cutting the tape and now and then hitting his wrists as well.

Danny felt like he had been there for hours trying to get his hands loose until finally a last swipe down the pipe had split the tape and got his hands free. He quickly cut off the tape around his ankles and searched for a way out. He jumped from wall to wall but couldn't find anything. He even searched the floor for an underground passage out of there. "There must be a way out of here, how else could I of gotten in here?" He sat down for a second to take a breathe and rest a awhile. Then, he heard footsteps above him. He considered yelling for help, but he couldn't. What if it wasn't someone to help, but instead his captor, come back to hurt him or something else. He decided to lie back down and pretend to still be tied up. Danny looked back up at the ceiling (just three feet above his head, when standing) and noticed the person had stopped. Then, a piece of the ceiling started moving down and inward, opening it. He quickly rolled over to his side pretending to still be unconscious desperately hoping it wasn't his captor or captors. The person jumped down into the room with Danny just three feet away. They walked over to Danny and set him up against the wall. Danny pretended to 'just' wake up to see who it was. "Good, you're awake. I've been waiting to talk...or rather beat, some sense into you." Danny looked up at the person who was talking. He couldn't see their face because of a hood they were wearing. "Who are you? Where am I? What do you want!"

"One question at a time! Please!" Danny could here the hooded person giggle at his questions.

"I thought that since you were so kind to have introduced yourself to my sister I should UN-introduce you" Danny thought about the person's remark for a moment. "You're sister? Who are you?"

"You sure are a tough one aren't you, O'farrell! I am Lily's brother and aside from you stupid safety patrol bustin' me I decided to use my revenge on you for touching her! Besides, you're one of them, so, they'll be all upset when they find you're gone!" Danny thought for a moment. Usually only Ingrid and Fillmore busted the bad guys, but on a few special occasions him, Tehama, and Anza got to help. He thought about the particular bullies he helped bust. He came up with only one solution...Chad Willow aka The Sniper. Why didn't he think of it before! Willow! It was right in front of him the whole time! "You're Chad Willow! The biggest bully in X history!"
