It had been three hours since anyone had checked on them. She knew they were locked in, and with no windows, that meant no chance for escape.
Suddenly the two original men from her house burst in, guns drawn. Lisa sprang to her feet and instantaneously was seized, as was Caylib. She let out a shrill cry as several more entered. Her heart gave a startling thud as she recognized one of the men. Jackson.
"Jackson!" she flew for him but was restrained. She then noticed something different in his face but also unrecognizable.
"Shoot yourself or watch them die," they threatened him. Lisa recognized this as an attempt to wipe the blood clean from their hands. She winced as the tears started up again. Jackson shifted uncomfortably as one tossed him a gun.
"Jackson, don't do it," Lisa begged. He didn't look at her, just looked at the gun. Minutes passed which seemed like hours.
Finally one of the men spoke impatiently. "Oh, screw this. He's taking too long." A gunshot and Lisa's cries pierced the air.
