Chapter 12: The Alley:
"How are we supposed to get 10,000 dollars in less than 1 day!" Jadyen exclaimed.
"I don't know." Falisha said.
"This is not good. I mean what if we can't get the money? I can't let them kill Stella!" Jayden said.
"I know. That would just kill me." Falisha said.
"I know. Whoever took her is going to get a piece of my mind when we go to the alley tonight." Jayden explained.
"Yeah. And we all better go to the alley so Vanessa has back-up." Falisha said.
"Yeah. And then we have a better chance of grabbing Stella when we show up with no money." Jayden said.
"We're gonna have the money." I added.
"What?" Falisha asked.
"Nessa. We cannot get 10,000 dollars in less than a day. It's pretty much impossible unless your like totally rich." Jayden said. Then I gave her a look that says 'Uh hello. I'm a movie star remember?'
"Wait a minute. You're a movie star! You can get the money!" Jayden said.
"Yeah." I said.
"How?" Falisha asked.
"Well maybe we can work something out with the bank." I said.
"Oh yeah. We just go walking in there and say 'Yeah hi. They're the cast of High School Musical and well Vanessa's little sister was kidnapped and now they only way that we can get her back is if we give him 10,000 dollars by midnight tonight.'" Falisha said.
"And then we give them the puppy dog faces." Jayden added.
"No that will never work." I said.
10 minutes later.
"Um yes hi. I am Vanessa Anne Hudgens and this is Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman. We are the cast of High School Musical." I explained. Then we just looked at him.
"Yeah...right. And I am the President of the United States." He laughed.
"Oh my gosh! You're the cast of High School Musical!" They lady at the desk exclaimed.
"You see." I said.
"Oh my. Well how can I help you guys?" He asked.
"Um well my little sister Stella has been kidnapped." I said.
"Well that's why we have the police sweetie." He said.
"You didn't let me finish. The police are looking for her but we found this note." I explained handing him the note. And then he read it.
"Wow." He said.
"And we don't have 10,000 dollars with us right now. So we were wondering if you maybe could like...give us some." I said.
"Well do you have a bank account here?" He asked.
"No." I said.
"Well then you should go there. Cause there is no way I can just give you that kind of money for free." He said laughing.
"Oh come on. My little sister will die if I can't get this money! I can't let that happen!" I yelled.
"I'm sorry. But there is no way." He said.
"I'll pay you 100 bucks." I said.
"No." He said.
"200." I said.
"No." He said.
"300." I said.
"No." He said.
"Uh..." Then I talked with the rest of the cast for a sec. "Tell you what. You give me the money and we'll recommend your bank to everyone. And you can come back to the set with us on Monday."
"I don't know. Is the set interesting?" He asked.
"Well if you think free food and parties all the time are interesting, then yes the set is interesting." I explained.
"You got the money!" He said.
"Yes! Thank you." I said. I knew that the guy would fall for the parties and free food stuff cause he didn't look so old. Probably like somewhere in his 20's. Then he gave us a check $10,000!
"Oh yes!" Jayden said.
"That was great Nessa." Monique said.
"Thanks." I said.
"Yeah." Jenny said.
"Well it's right now 11:00. And so we have about 3 hours until we have to meet him in the alley on 105th street. So what do you want to do in our spare time?" I asked.
10 minutes later we were at the mall signing autographs.
"Well I'll go along with this even though I'm not in the movie." Jayden said.
"Can I have your autograph?" A girl asked.
"Well sure. But why would you want my autograph? I'm not the cast of High School Musical." Jayden asked.
"I know. But you're Vanessa Anne Hudgens' cousin. I think that is so cool!" She said.
"You know it is." Jayden said signing her name.
"Hi. What's your name?" Ashley asked a fan.
"Sierra." Sierra said.
"Well Sierra. I'm very pleased to meet you. There you go." Ashley said handing her my autograph.
"Thank you so much." Sierra said.
"You're welcome." I said.
"I can't believe you're actually Ashley Tisdale!" A fan named Jamie said.
"Yeah well believe it." I said.
"I think you are so pretty!" Jamie said.
"Thanks." Ashley said. "There you go."
"Thank you." Jamie said.
"Are you really Vanessa Anne Hudgens?" A boy asked.
"Yes I am." I said.
"Oh my. I am a huge fan!" The boy said. "I'm Josh."
"Well hi Josh." I said.
"Oh and this is my little sister Ella." Josh said.
"Oh well hi there." That made me think of Stella. This doesn't feel right. I'm not supposed to be joyful with fans when my little sister is in danger. "Ok you guys. I'm done here. I just can't seem to enjoy this."
I said then I walked over to another table. Zac followed me.
"Hey." Zac said sitting next to me.
"Hey Zac." I said. "I just don't really feel like autograph signing when Stella's in danger. I just miss her so much."
"Yeah. We all miss her." Zac said. "But hey. We have the money, and the place where we can find her. Everythings good."
"Well I know that's true. But I just have a feeling that everything isn't alright. You know?" I said.
"Yeah. But it's alright. In about 10 minutes we'll have Stella back with us safe and sound." Zac said. Then he pulled me into a kiss.
"10 minutes!" We both yelled.
"You guys! We have be in the Alley in 10 minutes! We'll never make it!" I yelled as they stopped autographing.
"Oh my. We aren't gonna make it!" Jayden said.
"That's what I said. We aren't going to make it in time!" I exclaimed.
"We have to go now!" Zac said then we all ran outside and got in our cars and drove off. Then we got at the alley 5 minutes late. We didn't see him.
"Oh man! Where are they?" I asked.
"Look dude! We have the money! Now please can we have Stella back?" Jayden yelled. But we didn't see him.
"You know. He might be a dudet." Falisha said.
"Or dudet!" Jayden added. Then a man showed up with Stella being pulled by him with tape over her mouth.
"Stella!" Me, Jayden, Falisha, Ashley, Zac, and Jenny yelled running up to her.
"Nessa!" Stella said under the tape.
"Look dude we have the money! You can have it all. Now can we please just have Stella back?" I yelled.
"Hold on one second." He said.
"What!" We all yelled.
"Give me the money first." He said.
"No. Hand over Stella first. Then we'll give you the money." I said.
"No. You give me the money. Then you can have her back." He said holding out his hand.
"No!" We all yelled.
"Yes." He said. "Or I can just dump her in the ocean." He said pulling her away.
"No wait!" I yelled.
"Here. You can have the money." I said slowly handing him the check.
"A check? What ever happened to cash?" I asked.
"Oh come on we got the money didn't we!" I yelled.
"Ok fine." He said grabbing the check from my hand.
"Ok now give us Stella." I said.
"Ha, ha, ha. Yeah right." He laughed.
"Give her back!" I yelled.
"Uh...let me think...no." He said walking away.
"STOP!" I yelled. "Give her back!"
"Or what? You're gonna tell on me?" He said. "Oh I'm so scared."
"Hey what's that?" Zac tricked him.
"What?" He asked looking behind him. Then Zac ran and grabbed Stella.
"Hey!" He yelled running after him. But then Zac punched him.
"Owe." Zac said shaking his wrist.
"Stella!" I yelled running up to her and taking the tape off her.
"Owe." Stella said then I hugged her.
"Are you alright?" I asked as they crowded around us.
"Yeah. But he did throw me to the ground a couple of times." Stella said rubbing her head.
"Well you do have a scar." I said. Stella has a scar on her forehead.
"Yes. And right now. This guy right here is gonna have a scar." The guy said getting up.
"Zac!" I yelled. Then he punched Zac. Then it turned into a fight. "Zac!"
Then after 5 minutes of fighting Zac finally knocked him out to the ground.
"Zac!" I yelled running up to him. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah." Zac said. "I'm fine."
"Come on let's get out of here before he gets up again." Jayden suggested.
"Right." Zac said. Then we all went back into the limo.
"So after he took you away, where did he take you?" Falisha asked.
"He took me just into some trees. And then we met up with these other men and they threw me into this little hut. Then they finally took me out and we went to the alley." Stella explained.
"Oh well we're just glad you're ok." Jayden said hugging her.
"Yeah." Jenny said. "I don't know what I could do with out my best friend."
"Yeah well now you don't have to find out." Stella said. Jenny laughed at that. Then it started storming.
"What time is it?" Ashley asked.
"It's 12:20." Corbin explained looking at his watch.
"I'm so tired." Stella said then she fell asleep on my lap. Then Ashley and I laughed a bit.
The next day.
We're just watching tv.
"You guys. Where's Stella?" I asked jumping up.
"Relax. I just went in the kitchen to get a glass of water." Stella said. Then they all laughed.
