*****Poppy's' Point Of View*****
I was scared. I knew what Ash was capable of and I knew that he would do it. He liked to play with things like a cat and a mouse, he'll fool around with people for a while and then when he gets bored; he hands them over. He had tried to do this to me before and he was stupid enough to try again. Only this time I knew what he would do and I knew how to get him back. I turned around to look in the car. Ash was on his phone; I couldn't hear his conversation. The driver had one hand on the steering wheel and he was holding his phone with the other. I turned around to look out of the trunks window again. I knew that I couldn't escape out of the trunk without getting spotted by either Ash or his henchmen.
I knew that James wouldn't know where I was or what was happening to me and that thought scared me. If he handed me over to be killed; then James would never know and he would come home one day and not find me there. I sighed; I had to get the thought out of my head. I knew there was no way to get in contact with him so there was no use in trying. Then I realised, I had my phone in my pocket. I delved into my pocket and pulled out my phone. I glanced over my shoulder to see if ash was looking. He was still on the phone; I know it would be safe to use my phone as he was distracted. I took the bobble out of my hair and let it hang loose. That way if Ash did turn around he wouldn't see my phone.
I opened up the address book and my phone and scrolled down until I came to James name. I took a deep breathe and hit the dial button. It kept ringing and there was no reply. Eventually it went to the answer machine. My only other hope was Robbie. I knew he was part of the plan but he rushed to save me when I shouted for help. I opened my address book again and scrolled down to his name. I hit the dial button and it rang for a few seconds then someone picked up. But it wasn't Robbie.
"Hello, Poppy? Thank god you called; are you safe?" It was James!
"James, why the hell are you on Robbie's phone? And Yes I'm safe don't worry."
"It's a long story about why I'm on his phone. Where are you?"
I looked around trying to find landmarks. But all I could see was casino's it wouldn't really help.
"Uptown Vegas by the look of it; All I can see if big fancy casinos."
"Poppy, in that case I know where he is taking you. You trust me don't you?" He asked.
"I would trust you with my life."
"When you get to the casino there will be a little surprise in store for Ash; I just need to make a few calls first. Don't worry Poppy we will save you." He said. Suddenly the car came to a stop.
"Sorry Poppy, I have to go. I love you." He put the phone down before I had a chance to reply. I heard the car doors slam shut. I quickly stuffed my phone back in my pocket. The trunk opened; the driver and Ash stood staring at me.
"Come on Poppy, we have some gambling to do." Ash said as he took told of my wrist and pulled me onto the side walk.
The driver locked the trunk. Ash let go of my wrist and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me in close to him. The thought of what he was doing made me feel sick. I pushed his hand off my waist but he did it again and held on tighter. Then he slowly turned to face me.
"I would play along if I were you Poppy dear; after all you know the consequences of your actions if you don't." I winked and pulled me in close again.
He grabbed hold of my other hand and wrapped it round his back. If I didn't feel sick before I did now. He smiled at me and then we walked into the casino. I had no choice, I had to play along. The longer I played along the more time it would give James to put a rescue plan together; and the longer it kept me alive.
