mackenzies story

As Carlos and I sat there in disbelief at the conversation we had just overheard from the people we loved. I tried to keep calm.

The police officers were relaying information on there radios as they gathered it about what room everyone was in, James and Logan were currently bickering at each other over Logan telling the fat guy to choose Sheriden over savannah to be taken upstairs.

"Kenzie can I talk to you" Carlos said standing up.

"yeah I've got to check on Georgi first, make sure she hasn't rolled near the edge of my bed" I said and went upstairs.

She hadn't moved and inch, she was sleeping peacefully completely unaware of the trouble her parents were in. I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the twins.
Mitchell had always been the larger of the two but he had more illnesses than max had in their short lives. Mitchell suffered with his breathing just like I did, it was nothing connected to me and my asthma, I wasn't related to the boys at all, but the fact he was born so early.

They both looked so adorable, how the hell had James done that to Sheriden... Slept with my own flaming sister! after everything we had been through to get these babies.

The tears I've shed over these little mites is insane, how could savannah do that to me let alone Sheriden.

I just sat there and cried. I don't know how long for but Carlos eventually came up, he just sat down next to me on my bed and looked at the babies.

"you didn't know then?" Carlos whispered.

I shook my head "seems we were the only ones to not know huh" I said wiping my face.

"I didn't see that one coming... " he said.

"it was going on when we were on holiday in Dubai, that night we came home, I knew something had happened but I believed all that crap about her being on drugs... I can't believe James did that... With savannah of all people... Jesus... How has Sheriden just turned a blind eye to it all?" I wept.

"because of them, and you" he said looking at the twins.

"I can't forgive her Los... Not for this" I said standing up.

"I'm going to, I don't care if she fucked the entire lakers team, I just want her home and safe... Now... I love her Kenzie... What am I going to do if she doesn't make it out of this?" He asked still sat on the bed looking up at me.

"she deserves everything she gets Los" I said as I began walking out the room.

"any news?" I said to the officers who had set up camp in my living room. My house wasn't a town house like kendalls, it had just two floors, it opened up from the front doors to a huge living room with a beautiful fireplace, Logan had the house surveyed 4 times before we bought it to make sure it was sound. 4 of the windows upstairs were also fire escapes, the foundations had been checked to make sure it could hold out an earthquake, tornado or even a flood.

"your sister is getting restless, is she likely to do something silly?" One of the officers asked me.

"she is trapped in a room! What can she do in there that's silly?" I asked.

The cop just raised an eyebrow to me.

Carlos came and sat down. The phone link we had with the others had gone quiet, I could only hear shuffling about.

"sav please sit down" we heard Logan say.

"I need to get my hands free, can you untie me if you stand up?" She said sounding determined.

"I can't even feel my fingers sav... Just sit down," Logan said again.

"no there is a bunch of metal nail files up there look" I heard savannah say.

The cop looked at me as if to say 'yup your sisters about to be stupid'

"what exactly are you going to do, file their nails to death... File yours in to points and scratch them?" I heard Sheriden say.

"fuck off... I'm getting out of here!" My sister retorted.

"oh sav...what the?" I heard Logan say.

"sav get off of him, its uncomfortable enough!" James said.

"get your fucking foot OFF OF ME SAVANNAH... Jesus my back. What the fuck are you doing?" Sheriden said starting to cry again.

I looked at Carlos. he looked worried, savannah was a wild card.

"haha... See!" I then heard sav say. I wondered if she was free.

The room fell silent again. Then I heard things being moved about.

"she is opening the stock that is in the room" I said to the police officer.

"what is kept in there?" She asked,

Nothing really, shampoo, cleaning agents, there is a box of nail files but they wouldn't really help. There is stationary... Bottles... Just pointless stuff," I said

"what are you doing sav?" We heard James ask.

"this room used to be part of the kitchen of Mackenzies apartment, through that wall was my bedroom. Under there is a vent that used to run the air con through it. The entire place was fucking freezing because she couldn't handle the heat with her asthma. I'm going to unscrew the vent go next door and leave through the fire escape" she said sounding proud of her plan.

I looked at the cop.
"she is right... That would work, the vent is there, the only problem they have is the alarm will sound directly the fire door opens" I said.

I heard Logan relay this information to savannah. He was very up together on all his fire safety now.

The cop then got on the radio and informed them of savannahs escape plan, and that the alarm wires needed to be cut.

"I don't give a fuck, the police are out there, can't you here the fucking helicopter going round and round" she said to Logan.

"sav sit down I can hear them coming" Sheriden said, I then heard lots of shuffling and a strange voice

"come with me" the voice said.

I heard someone crying, I don't know if it was Sheriden or savannah.

"I will go... Please just leave her alone, she has three children... Please" I heard James beg the man.

The cries of Sheriden then got louder then went away in to the back ground.

I then heard James lose his cool.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD... YOU TOUCH MY WIFE AND I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!.. SHERIDEN!... SHERiden!" He said breaking in to sobs.

"untie me" I heard James say. I don't know if the battery went or Logan sat on the phone but the line went dead.

"what is happening?" I said to the cop.

"is Mr maslow likely to go after his wife if they get out of that store room?" The police officer asked me ignoring my question.

I looked at Carlos, we both knew the answer, we had both heard the answer come out of james' mouth. But it was Carlos that answered.

"yes he would definitely go after her. There is no way James would leave that building without her" he said

The cop got on the radio, they both stood up and walked to the front door.

"we are heading down to the scene, I will be in contact shortly miss Davies" the lady officer said.

I broke down in tears "oh my God this is it isn't it. They are either going to come out walking or dead" I sobbed.

"can I borrow your car? I want to go down there, I want to be there when sav gets out" Carlos said.

"I don't have it do I, its at the salon with Logan" I replied. "please don't leave me Los, I can't do this on my own" I said feeling emotional.

Carlos looked at me. "come with me?" He replied.

"I've got the children up stairs, I can't... Please don't leave me on my own" I begged.

Carlos looked at me.

"please" I begged.

"I'm sorry, I need to be there for my wife Kenzie" he said then left.

I looked out the window he had got his bike from kendalls and drove off.

I didn't know what to do so I went upstairs and curled up with Georgi. Tears weeping silently from my eyes
