"Aww, how cute. So Linda what are you hoping to get out of out little chat?"

"To get out!" She glared.

"Funny, well we would tell you our names but were not that silly so were just going to put your gag back on." As he tried to she bite him. "You little bitch" he yelled slapping her and putting the gag back on. He was going to hit her again but one of his friends stopped him.

"Leave it mate, you can do that to her boyriend once we've got out money!" He said...

The next hour flew by and it was now 8, he got to the car park first with fifty thousand but he was still one hundred and fifty out. He hoped that Tom and Bob had had more luck.

"How much do you have?" Asked Bob as him a Tom pulled up in the same car. Michael told him and the two men looked at each other knowingly. "Good news, we had a whip round, got a load of money out from the bank and won three thousand on a scratch card so we have enough!" He said excitedly.

"Wow, really? I actually didn't think we would ever get it."

"I know, should we go in early or just wait here?" Asked Tom who deep down was a little scared for all 4 of there sakes.

"Lets just wait here because they might trick us and get away with the money and Linda." So the 3 men sat in the car until it was 9.

"Right then boys, It 9 now, so remember, stick to the plan or this could go badly wrong!"

and winked at them.

Linda wondered what they were on about, what plan? he sat there fearing for worst, that they might stab her or take her with them but tried to distracted herself by thinking about Lexi. The men all left but the last one stayed behind and took the gag of Linda.

"Why are you still here?" She asked him wondering what was going on.

"To finish of the plan" He snarled.

"What plan?" She asked.

"Will you stop asking questions, You'll find out later." Linda shut up, she didn't like the sound of that!

"So boys, find the money!" The smaller one asked?

"Yes, so give use back Linda and clear off!" Michael said worrying that they may have already hurt Linda.

"Really? Im impressed, let me see it first. Let's go to a classroom and we can check it all. So all the men went into a maths classroom that was just down the hall from where Linda was. After 10 minutes the men said that they were happy with the money.

"Right, well thanks for that guys! We'll be off now."

"What about Linda?" Michael asked.

"Oh right! Well there's a slight problem about that. We can't let you lot live or you might grass on us to the cops."

"What!" Tom yelled"Well, what are you going to do? stab us to death?"

"No, don't be silly that will take all day just wait here and you'll find out" The gang started to leave the classroom. The 3 men looked at each other and made a run for the door but the man at the back turned around and punched Bob.

"Stay back or there will be more from where they came from." And with that he shut the door and barricade t with some planks of wood that was out side the room.

The gang ran down to where Linda and the other man was and nodded.

"Right, well your little friends have payed the money so i'll be off" And with that ha had ran out the door before Linda had chance to ask about what was going to happen to her. But then she turned her head and saw what was going on behind her. The tall man lit up a match and chucked it at the curtain!

"Help!" Linda screamed "Let me out! but it was no use the men had already ran off and she didn't know where Michael was. "Thats it" she thought her life was over and she would never get to see her baby girl grow up or even say goodbye to her and Michael.
