Chapter 24

General POV

Nonny and Oona are trying to sleep, still thinking about why this crazy family did this to them. They just enjoy letting us starve Oona thought. It's been 24 hours now that they didn't get food, and the food they got was horrible.

A couple of hours later, Oona fell asleep but Nonny didn't. Nonny wasn't tired. This whole situation traumatized him. For hours he listened to the noises that came from above him. He heard a tv and sometimes footsteps. But it ended for half an hour now. They probably went to sleep Nonny thought. The only noise he heard was his stomach. But suddenly he heard footsteps. The noise approached him slowly. A phone light was shining at them. Nonny got blinded. He hasn't seen something as bright as that in days. Behind the light was a person. It wasn't tall, was it Sandra? When the person approached, Nonny could recognize him. It was Mike. "Mike." "Shht. Stay quiet. I've got food." He gave Nonny a box of cookies and a bottle of water. "Mike, help us out." Nonny said in a desperate tone. Mike really looked shocked when he saw the 2 there. "No, I'm sorry, so sorry. I can't. It's getting to suspicious. I'm sorry. I have to leave now." Within a minute Mike came in and left. Nonny was searching for Oona. It was dark so he was just feeling everything around him. He then found Oonas arm. He shacked it a bit and Oona woke up. "Nonny, we need to sleep." She said in a sleepy tone. "Mike just came and gave me a box of cookies and a bottle of water." Nonny said. He handed the box to Oona. "Mike? He needs to help us." "Too risky he said. I understand him. His parents might throw him in the basement too." Oona nodded but Nonny didn't saw that because it was dark. The 2 began eating and drinking. The first time in days that they got something nice to eat.

It's early in the morning. Goby, Deema and Molly were waiting for Gil. Gil finally arrived. "Sorry guys. I'm not used to wake up this early." He said. The guppies pointed at their watches. "It's 9 am. We need to get as soon as possible to the police station." Goby said. "9 am isn't that early right?" Deema added. "Think about your friends Gilly." Molly said. "Yes yes yes. You are all right." Gil answered. The 4 were now ready to go to the police station.

"Hello we are here for inspector Brooks. He said we could come today." "Yes he informed me about that. You were here yesterday so I suppose you know the way to his office." The guppies nodded and went to the inspectors office. The guppies knocked on the door. "Come in." the inspector said. "Still 2 seats." Gil whispered to Goby. "Take a seat please." The inspector said. The girls took the seats as usual. "And? Have you found something?" Molly asked. The inspector sat in his chair. "Yes. We got something." He stood up again. "Bob and Karen Levine. Guilty for child sequestration 15 years ago." The guppies were silent. "Uhm, what is sequestration?" Gil asked. "Holding someone against its will out of all legal authorities with use of violence." Gil scratches the back of his head. "Holding someone hostage if you want." The inspector added. Gil looked satisfied. "What can you do now?" Molly asked. "You suspect them of a crime they already did. That's enough to conduct a house search. A patrol has been alerted and is heading to their house." "Let's hope they are there." Molly said. "They will arrive soon at their house. All of you better stay here for new discoveries. If they found your friends we will go there."

"Here it is. Park the car over there Peter." "Yes Harry." The 2 cops went to the front door of the Levine family and knocked. Sandras dad opened. "Hello gentlemen. What can I do for you?" He said. "House search. You are suspected of a crime." Peter said. "Oh. That's nonsense. Come in you'll see." Sandras dad guided the cops inside and closed the door. He went to a little shelf. "Hands in the air!" Sandras dad pulled his gun out and pointed it at the cops. "I'm not going back in jail!" "Sir calm down. Doing this will only make your case worse. Sandras dad was ready to fire. From a door ajar, Mike was staring at the whole scene. "This is my time. My chance." He said to himself. He ran in direction of his dad and slammed the gun out of his hands. This made the cops pull out their guns. "On the ground! Thanks boy." Harry said. He handcuffed Sandras dad and pulled him up. "You little sh*t! sc*mbag!" Sandras dad said to his son. Suddenly Sandra walked in and saw everything. "Sandra! Quick, kill the hostages!" Sandras dad yelled at her. Sandra impulsively ran down the basement. Peter chased her. Sandra took her pocket knife out and entered the room. Nonny and Oona stood up and saw the knife. Nonny stood in front of Oona. "YOU WILL NEVER BE LOVED NONNY!" Sandra yelled. Peter arrived and pulled out his taser. "Stay where you are!" Sandra ignored him and approached the 2 instead. "DIE!" she screams. She wants to stab Nonny in the neck but just before that she got tasered and her knife stabbed Nonny's shoulder instead. Nonny fell unconscious. Oona ran to her friend trying to stop the hemorrhage. "Call an ambulance!" she screamed.

Meanwhile, the Guppies were waiting at the police station. Suddenly a cop runs into the office of the inspector. "The first report of the house search." The inspector took it and looked at it. "What does it say?" Goby asked. "It says your friends were there. That's good. But… oh… oh god." "What happened?!" "One of them got stabbed… by the daughter."

Finally! Nonny and Oona are free. But what about Nonny? You will know how it turned out in the next chapter. Stay home. Stay safe.
