Chapter 2-

Marta stayed huddled together in the corner of the room as an older man, known as "the boss" came in.
"Where's the girl?" he asked
"There" the other man said as he pointed to Marta.
"What did you do to her Jack?"
"N-nothing" Jack studdered, "I swear!"
The boss sighed and walked over to Marta.
"Get up" he demanded.
Marta refused to move.
"I said up!" the man yelled as he reached for Marta's arm.
"Don't touch me!" she screamed. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying.
"Listen you, get up now!"
Marta shook her head.
"Stubborn one eh?" The man laughed, "come on you can't just sit there all day."
Marta glared at him, "I can, and I will" she replied through clenched teeth.
"You know, the less you cooperate, the longer you stay" the man whispered as he knelt next to her.
"You can't keep me here! My parents, they'll come looking for me they will I know it!" Marta insisted.
"Sure they are Blondie. In the mean time, I'm Carl, or "the boss" and this is your home." Carl said.
Marta shook her head, "stay away from me!" she screamed at him.
"God shut up Blondie!"
Marta looked away, "dont call me that!" she started to cry again. The name reminded her of home, and her friends.
Carl through his hands up in the air, "fine I give up, I'm done talking to her!" he said to Jack. Then he left the room leaving Marta sitting on the cold cement floor of the basement. Marta closed her eyes as Jack shook his head and also left.
Back at home Marta's mom Lisa had been calling almost everyone to see if anyone had seen Marta, but no one had. Shakily she dialed 9-1-1
"9-1-1 whats the emergency?" A women asked
"Yes, my daughter, she never came back from her friends. I called but she's not there."
"Alright calm down now tell me how long has it been since she said she'd be home?"
"I-I'm not sure, about an hour" Lisa replied.
"Okay, I'm going to need you daughters name, appearance description, and your name so that we can contact you with any information."
Lisa sighed, "okay, her name is Marta Hale, she has blue eyes and blonde hair about mid back length. I'm Lisa Hale, her mother" Lisa said as her hands shook.
"Thank you Lisa, I am sending out officers now to search the streets. Everything will be okay" she assured.
"Thank you so much" Lisa replied.
"Alright bye now and good luck!"
"Thanks again, bye." Lisa hung up the phone and looked across the table. She picked up the picture of Marta and shook her head. "Please let her be alright" she said to herself.
