Leah awoke, to see the sun rising. She was mesmerized by the colors; it
seemed perfect. She remembered that today was her birthday, and she longed
to be home with her family. She then noticed that Alec was gone.
"Rob, where is Alec?" Leah asked.
"I don't know, he has been gone for along time," Rob replied.
"Why didn't you wake me up, so we could leave?" Leah asked.
"It would be hard, considering we're handcuffed to the doors," he answered.
"You think you're so funny," she said. She smacked her forehead with her free hand, and said, "That's it!"
"What's it?" Rob asked.
"Can you kick my backpack here?" she asked.
"I think so," he told her. It took Rob a few tries, but he finally slid the backpack, across the floor with his foot. He went back to looking out the window.
Leah unzipped the zipper and pulled out the present, that Tara had given her for Ivy. She wrapped the paper and opened the box. It was filled to the top. She tossed out a candy bar, a magnetic French game, and a book, before she found a note. She skimmed the note, then reached for what was on the bottom of the package, a file.
Rob turned his head, to see what Leah was doing. "What is that?" he asked.
"What does it look like?" Leah asked sarcastically
"You always carry a file with you to school?" Rob questioned.
Leah began to saw through her handcuffs, and she said, "No, Tara gave me a gift for Ivy, and Tara is always playing jokes on people, she's really funny.
"Who is Tara?" Rob asked.
"Ivy's friend, I figured Tara would send Ivy something, which she could use to "break out" of Horizon with, and I was right," she said.
"Crack," Leah's handcuffs came apart.
"Here let me do your handcuffs; it will be easier," she said. Leah worked diligently for several minutes. "Yours are harder to break apart, than mine were," Leah commented.
Alec stood outside talking with a man.
"Oh shit!" Leah exclaimed, after se saw Alec. She began filing the metal faster.
"Leah, I know we are in a stressful situation, but I don't believe, that your parents let you swear at home," Rob lectured.
"Alec is back!" Leah squealed
"Shit!" Rob yelled. He began jerk his arm trying to free himself. It didn't work.
"Leah go," he told her.
"No, I can't," Leah said.
"There is a gas station on the other side of those trees, call for help. Now go!" Rob told her.
She opened the door and started to run. She ran until she reached the woods, were she turned around, as the car speeded away. She walked the rest of the way through the woods, and she reached the gas station. She found the pay phone, and she dialed 911.
"What is your emergency?" A woman's voice asked through the receiver.
"My name is Leah Scarbrow, and I was kidnapped by this guy. I just got away from him, but he still has Rob with him," Leah said.
"We're sending an officer over right," the woman said.
"Miss Scarbrow are you hurt?" the woman asked.
"No.," Leah froze up. Cold metal was now forced against her neck.
"Hang up the phone," a masculine voice demanded.
Leah put the telephone back in its place.
