Jack Is Time Racing!

Jack's pov

I woke up to a dim lighted room. It was a furnished room, clean and it actually was kinda nice. I sat up and noticed I was lying on a... bench? Wow. And I feel no pain at all. I sat on the bench normally and looked around. I was in locker rooms. Not just any locker rooms, but the locker rooms where I found Kim. There was a dark spot on the floor obviously from Kim's blood. There were green lockers like the ones at the dojo. The mirror was a little foggy but definitely not as bad as the last time I was here. I saw Lacey's long fingerprints on the mirror where she wrote the note... I wonder what she meant by, 'you're it.' I shouldn't be too worried since she is -was- my daughter. I just pray she didn't really die and that Kim was- KIM! I jumped up but immediately fell on my hands and knees.

'Can you hear me Kim?' I thought. No reply. I guess I was too far for her to hear me. I stood up ignoring the pain and dizziness. I walked over to the door and twisted the knob. Great. Locked. I pick up my pace and hurry to the window. It was low enough for me to reach but, even if I could fit through it, there are cameras all over this joint. I grumbled and started pacing thinking about my escape. I walked up to one of the six sinks and stare at myself in the mirror. I was a wreak. I still had dried blood on my face from the last time I was here...l what even happened? I hoped Kim would walk or escape and get close enough to hear me. I turned away from the mirror and noticed something sticking out of the lockers. I pulled out a folded up note. It read:

Trust me. I'm Lacey. Now, go to the nearest shower. I window's there. If you open it, you'll be intimidated to enter but do.

-L-

I didn't know if I could trust the note... I didn't even know if I could trust myself because I psychologically ran to the shower and noticed a latch n the back wall. I stepped in and pulled it up exposing a black wall. I carefully opened the latch on the inside and it slip open. It was a dark room and there seemed to be no end to the miles and miles of darkness. I hesitated upon believing the note or was it just turning up to be a trap? I snapped my eyes shut and set a foot out. I couldn't touch the ground. I place my other foot out and I sat on the edge wondering if I was being smart... or just plain stupid. Then, right in the middle of me building my confidence upon jumping, I felt something hit my back and I fell in the hole. While I fell, I looked up and saw a person but I couldn't tell who it was. I looked down and it was just getting darker and darker... after at least 8 seconds I was still falling until... SPLASH. I landed in ice cube cold water. After descending at least 10 feet, I pressed myself up off the bottom and re-surfaced. I saw everything now. It wasn't dark anymore... well in some areas yah. I looked up from where I was pushed and white narrow walls ascended to the hole. Then, the door slammed shut. -_- great. Now I was in even more of a trap.

'I can't believe he fell for that dumb note!' I heard a voice in my head.

'Yah like he can be any more stupid!' another one rang. -_- Before the voices and echoes became too overpowering, I swam to the edge and climbed on the ground. I stood up and instantly knew I was about to pass out. I threw myself on the floor hoping it worked but no, everything went black.

I woke up to light shining in my eyes. I saw my... room? In my old house? IN NEW YORK!? I bounced off the bed when I heard the door creak open. My aunt walked in... the one who died a few weeks before we moved. I sprinted passed her not knowing if I should be freaked out or calm... I stand corrected... let's go with the freaked out part. BOTH my mom AND dad stood next to each other smiling at me. My dad died a long time ago. I barely remember him. The pictures that hung in the hall in my old house was all I remembered of him. I back away and run outside. Instead of a gloomy New York, the sun was shining and people were actually being nice to me. I walked... more like sprinted... to my old friend's house. His name was Trent.

'Who is it?' Tent's mom's voice rang as I knocked frantically on the door.

'Jack Anderson!' I nearly scream. The door thrusts open. Trent stood there.

'JACK!' he yelled and tackled me in a hug. I smiled. I loved the feeling of seeing one of my old friends again. He let go and saw my messed up face.

'Jack? Are you ok?' He asked.

'Trent, I would love to talk and hang out but this is an emergency.' his smiled died. We walked in and I grabbed his phone. I was very happy that I had memorized Kim's phone number... completely on accident though! It rang and rang.

'Hello?' Kim's voice sounded.

'KIM!' I yelled.

'Jack are you ok?! Who's phone are you using?!' she yelled. She's obviously been worried about my disappearance... I wonder how long I've been gone?

'Kim, listen to me. I need you to do exactly as I say.' I looked up from the floor to Trent and his mom who were both very confused.

'I need you to go to the school, go underground and search the security cameras.' there was a long pause.

'Ok, I'm at your house though.'

'OH YAH! First: Are you ok? Are the guys ok?'

'Yes Jack everything's fine.'

'Ok, second: Give me a re-cap on what just happened.'

'Well right after the light burned out, you were shot by a drugged dart.'

'That would explain why my head's spinning.'

'Then, they turned back on and you and your mom were missing.'

'Ok wow. Now, how long ago was that?'

'Four days.'

'WHAT!?' I yelled.

'Jack calm down, me and the guys have been looking for you and Lacey. Besides, where are you anyways?'

'Haha funny story actually, New York, old neighborhood.' I yanked the phone from my ear from her furious screaming.

'KIM! It's ok I was kidnaped and taken here.'

'JACK! You should have told us!' Trent exclaimed.

'Who was that Jack?' Kim asked.

'An old friend. Ok, go to the school. Now.' I said. 'Call this number when you arrive.' she agreed and we hung up.

'Jack! Are you ok? Why are you here? Who was that? Who's Lacey and Kim?' Trent and his mom came at me with so many questions. I was overwhelmed.

'STOP! I can't answer whenever you do that! Kim was the first person I met and everyone now think's we are dating or married because of Lacey. Lacey is this girl we found who lives under our school. So, we were going to legally adopt her when she went missing. We've been looking for her for three days. Then, I was kidnaped and taken to the underground place that Lacey lived. The thing is, she doesn't live alone. We accuse these two girls who go by the letters J & X to have kidnapped me my mom and Lacey. I've apparently been gone for four days.' the two stand there shocked.

'Wow I can't believe this.' his mom whispered.

'Yah I know. Jack, what are you going to do?' right before I could answer, the phone rang. I answered.

'Jack.' I said.

'Im under the school in the hallways.'

'Ok go to the camera security room.' she did and sat down at the desk.

'Now look up the past four days information in the locker rooms.' she did.

'JACK JACK JACK! I see these two people carrying you into the locker rooms! They laid you on a bench and... the next day you wake up. You're looking for something, you opened a door then, oh my. A person pushes you down the hole!' my eyes widened.

'Did you see where he/she came from?' I asked.

'She just appeared there.' my eyes widened.

'Ok, I think I know who it is. I just need to go back to sleep. See you asap.' we hung up.

'What do you mean Jack?' Trent asked.

'I need to fall asleep.' instantly, Trent's mom went into a different room and came back with a blanket.

'Haha thank you Ms. Meyer but, I'll just sleep on the couch.' she smiled. I sat down.

'Oh, and if you see anybody just appear in the house and carry me off, don't stop them. That's what I want to happen.' they looked at each other afraid. I laid down and closed my eyes...

I woke up to the sounds of hundreds of voices. I bolt upright seeing me in the airport I stood in when I moved. I saw a piece of paper fall from my lap. I swiped it up and read it:

Ha! So dumb to fall asleep and just think we would carry you back to your home! Get a life!

-J & X

I got mad and ripped the paper. I dropped it and looked to my side. One plane ticket to Seaford sat there. I called Kim on...l MY iPhone?

'Jack!' she exclaimed.

'Kim! I just gota note and I'll be in Seaford in 7 hours.'

'Ok. Just hurry the guys are getting freaked out.'

'Why?'

'I'll explain when you arrive.' I hung up. I heard my flight calling and hurried to the terminals. I couldn't help but feel a weird pain in my stomach from seeing my dad and aunt.
