Chapter 10
France airport
Tamsyn stared on Tom's message in one of the computers on the in the airport.
Tamsyn(a).
Sherlock(a)
Be careful. The Black widow has kidnapped everyone except you. We don't know were on the map we are, but we know that we are on a submarine. Mitch and I succeeded to escape tonight and found this computer. Josh and Rob have made up a story that they don't know where you are and according to other things they have said, I believe them too. I can't tell you more this time as they maybe can read it after we have sent this.
See you, I hope…
Tom, Mitch, Rob, Josh and Lauren.
Suddenly Tamsyn heard her little brother Nick yell.
"Tamsyn, the plane is about to leave!!"
"I'm coming" she roared back at the same time as she forced her brain to work faster. When Tom had been writing this it were night. And here it was. Then she wrote a message to Tom's father and forwarded Tom's message and caught up with Nick,
In the submarine.
Rob, Josh and Lauren listened to Mitch's and Tom's story in eager expectation at the same time as they gratefully ate of the stolen food.
"We will be close enough to land to run away tonight." Tom said finally. "The nail is left in the door so we can just walk away."
"So you know where we are, in the world I mean?" Josh asked
"No, but it can't be worse than this" then Lauren came up with another question.
"What are we going to do with Rob?" Tom couldn't answer.
"You can leave me here" Rob suddenly said. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy. "If you can escape you can get help" he explained, but his voice was much weaker then last time he spoke.
"My parents will employ an entire army to find me" he continued, this time he even refused to look at the others.
"Are you sure?" Lauren asked, her voice was weak too. This time all Rob succeeded was a not audible mumbling. Then Mitch stepped in.
"No way!"
"No, you are going with us. You said you could swim right?" Tom continued. Rob looked very relieved.
"Yes" Tom smiled.
"Okay, then we'll do as we have planned and then, we have to improvise"
Later
Tom removed the pillow case on his and Laurens pillows and packed down what was left of the stolen food and tied them together with the ropes Mitch had been tied up with. When he was finished Lauren pulled out the nail and looked out.
It was midnight.
"It's okay" she whispered and sneaked out. Josh walked out behind her, then Mitch who carried Rob on his back came. Tom was the last one and he spied behind them.
"Which way?" Josh asked and turned to Mitch who turned to Tom.
Everyone sighed.
"Didn't you think about that before?" Lauren accused, glaring at Mitch and Tom. While they was standing there whispering to each other Rob suddenly heard some noise.
"Someone is coming!" he whispered. Josh found a door just in time and they sneaked in. In there Lauren found a map over the submarine. Quickly everyone noted at much as possible and when the danger was over they sneaked back out to the corridor.
They found the way out without anymore difficulties. To their relief it was unlocked. Tom found another rope which he bound Rob to Mitch so Mitch could climb. Tom was the last one to climb out.
"Finally! Fresh air!" he said when he was back with the others. Then he looked around and discovered that they were in a harbour.
"Maybe we should jump now, before they comes back" Josh decided. Lauren nodded and started to run over the side of the submarine until she dared to dive.
Josh and Tom freed Mitch and Rob from the rope and Tom packed it down into one of the pillow cases in case they would need it later. Then Josh and Tom jumped too, but Mitch hesitated.
"Mitch, it's okay" Rob said trying to calm his friend down. "Just make sure that we will not get captured again. You can do it, and I can swim, I promise."
"Okay, it's just, if I make any mistake…"
"Yes, we can die, but that's better then what will happen to us if we gets caught by those people again."
"You are right." Mitch finally said. "Alright, are you ready?" Mitch ran over the side and jumped. He dropped Rob, but he too fell in the water and now, Rob could move just as good as his friends.
Tom had found a landing which they hid under.
"Look, we swim over to those bushes instead. They will surely start looking at places like this if they discovers that we are gone" Josh suggested.
"And they will discover that sooner or later" Lauren mumbled.
One by one they swam over to the bushes and there they crawled up on land.
