Emily was beginning to feel weak because of the hit she received on the head. She had a headache and the loss of blood wasn't helping. She needed to get hydrated and she needed to get some sort of food into her. She looked over at Sam and realized that she was also very thirsty and hungry. "Sam are you okay?" Emily asked going into doctor mode.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Sam replied "I'm just so thirsty."
"Me too" Emily said. "We have to figure out a way to get out of here Sam. Look we can outsmart Manny. There's two of us and only one of him" Emily began to think.
"Yeah, and that really scary guy that hit you over the head Emily!" Sam said surprised that Emily would even think about going after Manny.
"Okay look, when Manny comes in we have to attack him if he comes by himself. Manny thinks to highly of himself to even consider bringing another man with him to deal with two girls" Emily said having a point. "One of us attacks him and the other escapes; that one will be you." Emily said already making the decision. "He's recovering from brain surgery it will be easy for me to cause pain. Then you will of course go directly to Sonny and Jason and tell them where I'm at. You guyswill know what to do to get me out" Emily said finishing.
"Why me, you just got hit in the head, you need to leave. I have dealt with Manny and who knows what he could do to you Emily, you're the one that leaves" Sam said disagreeing with Emily's plan.
"When you get to Jason and Sonny, they would feel more comfortable asking you to cooperate in a shooting if there need to be one and you know that!" Emily finished.
"Fine" Sam agreed "I love you Em, and I will bring help as soon as I can I promise. I will also tell Sonny that you love him too, and that you know the truth, a little motivation never hurt anyone." Sam smiled. With that Manny came in and they were not prepared. Manny noticed that they were both untied and simply smiled. He carried two heavy suitcases that looked like camera equipment. He set them down nearly missing Emily's hand that was flat on the floor.
"You two have been very bad girls!" Manny said. He was by himself and that only meant that they had to act now.
"What are you a director now?" Sam asked sarcastically.
"No but, your boyfriend would love to see you naked and in bed with me after I get through with you!" Manny said revealing his plans. As he got on his knees to set the camera equipment Emily grabbed the heaviest box she could find and hit him of the side of the head that she knew would hurt him the most.
"Go!" She told Sam.
"We can both leave!" Sam said grabbing Emily's wrist. They both began to run but before they got to the door Manny grabbed Emily.
"GO!" Emily repeated. Sam couldn't look at her or she would not be able to leave. Sam ran as fast as she could. It was so cold and she could hardly see. She was in the woods she knew that. Why did this look so familiar though, like a flash she remembered everything.
Sam started running to her left and she knew exactly where she was at. 'Just a few more steps' she told herself. The trees she felt were attacking her purposely. It was so cold so she could feel every last scrape against her arms, sides, face and hands. Finally, like seeing the light after a dark road, there it was her daughter's grave. It was covered in snow but she knew the place with her eyes closed. She got on her knees and wiped the snow of the plaque just for self assurance. There it was. She got a little teary eyed and remembered that she had to go to Jason and Sonny. She kissed the cold grave and wiped her tears away and decided to run like hell was after her.

"Oh sweet heart your so nice to let your friend go!" Manny started to say. He had Emily by the neck and Emily felt she could not breathe "I guess you'll have to do, see I really did want to stick it to Corintho's more than to Jason so the plan worked out fine" Manny said still happy that he had Emily; the one thing he figured would destroy Sonny.
He threw her on the couch and Emily was scared at what he might do. She had already been raped and to be raped a second time would destroy her. She wasn't that strong, who could be that strong. She just looked at Manny, trying not to show him that she was intimidated. The phone rang and Manny answered it. "Yeah" he said. "Are you sure, I'll be right there." Manny said as he hung up the phone. "You're a lucky girl, but not so much when I come back." Manny said as he opened the door and exited leaving Emily inside alone and scared; hoping that Sonny and Jason would find her before Manny got back.
