And thanks to the people that reviews and I really appreciate it. REALLY! -Megmae

Recap:' "LIES!" He yelled, and slapped her across the face. "You wanted to hurt me! You wanted to ruin my life! And you succeeded! You got what you wanted, and so am I!" The car started to move again, faster then before. Gabi looked at the sign's speed by, and one caught her eye. 'High Way 84. North to Salt Lake City.'

To Troy
"NO!" He fell onto his knees and started to cry. "No," His hands on his face, he bent into his knees. "They got away!" He thought about her beautiful smile, and astonishing figure and his cries turned into body shaking sobs. His sadness turned into infuriating anger. "I WILL FIND YOU GABRIELLA! I love you to much to let him hurt you!"'

Gabriella's eyes slowly opened to the new surrounding. She gently rubbed the side of her face.
"What happened?" She sat up and looked around. She was sitting on a shabby bed with puck orange sheets. Her so-called room was small with only a 1x-1x window for light, witch had bars to keep her in. "Where am I?" she felt her head. Suddenly last nights events pored into her head and she screamed. A man came running into the room.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" He yelled dragging her out of her bed. "Doesn't matter. You have work to do. MARIA!" A girl, maybe a year older the Gabi, walked into the room.

"You have called?" she said, showing no emotion.
"Where is the outfit that this girl needs? Hhm. I thought I told you to get that for me before you came. NOW GO!" She turned and walked out of the room. 'How can she take that? I mean, I would be down in tears by that time.' "You. What is your name?" He asked seeming annoyed.

"I'm, ahh, Gabriella. Gabriella Montez."

"Now, go to work!" He yelled. Gabi walked past him as fast as she could, and he grabbed her ass as she walked by. "Ooh, that's good." He whispered to himself. She shivered at the words and wondered when Troy would be there to save her.

(Troy)
He ran to Gabriella's house and banged on the door. "MS. MONTEZ!" He yelled. She opened the door.
"What is it Troy? Where is Gabriella?" He waved his hands in the air.
"THAT IS JUST IT!" He yelled. "SHE WAS KIDDNAPED!" Ms. Montez fell silent with the news. Her sadness turned into anger, and she thrashed out at Troy. "I'm sorry, but the only thing that we can do for Gabi now is to go to the police. I got his license plate number," he said as he grabbed her to keep her from hurting him and herself.

Back to Gabi)
After she got the uniform on, she walked across the street, accompanied by Mr. Anger-Issues, and when she opened the door, a blanket of cigarette smoke covered them.

"How am I too work in this!" She yelled over the commotion. She saw other women in skimpy skirts and halter-tops, just like hers.

"You just do! NOW GET TO WORK!" He yelled pushing her behind the counter. 'What am I supposed to do? I don't know where I am, what I have to do, who are these people!' She thought.

"You must be the new girl," said a skimpy blonde. She was the one that brought the outfit to her. "Come over here, I'll show you what you need to do."

"Thank-you," she replied as she followed her around the corner, and into a small room. It was dim, but the air was smoke-free.

"Now," she said handing me a big platter. "This is what you will use to clean the tables, and carry everything back and into the kitchen, witch by the way, is to your right, just behind that wall," She pointed in the kitchens general direction. "Ooh, and if some guy grabs your ass, just play along."

"I haven't gotten a chance to ask you your name," said Gabi. "I'm Gabriella. But to anyone that I don't know, I am Montez," She stuck out her hand.

"I'm Kayla," She shook Gabi's hand and shook it. "My real name is Mary, but Joe thought that Kayla was a better name."
"So Mr. Anger-Issues name is Joe?" Asked Gabi.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't call him that." Gabi looked at her eyebrows down, face full of confusion.
"He hates his name, and if anyone calls him Joe, then they will be beaten, then raped. But that is what we do on a regular bases. Prostitute by day, waiter by night. You learn to get used to it," Kayla saw how scared Gabi looked. "Don't worry, I wont let him do anything to you."

"How can you! I mean, he wont even let use call him by his name!" She started crying.
"Well, because you asked, well, I'm his big sister. He listens to me, dose what I want, keeps me safe," She went over and hugged Gabriella. "You are going to be fine, stick with me, I will show you the ropes," She smiled, and Gabi smiled back, they headed back into the smoke fogged room.

(Troy)
"What was the license plate number son?" Asked the plump belly policemen.

"Well, it was something like, 6361J," Troy looked like he was in deep thought. "Yeah, that's right."

"Alright son, I will see what I can do." He tipped his cap and walked off.

"That was weird." Said Troy after the policemen was out of earshot.

"You can say that again," said Mrs. Montez. Troy noticed that she was in a daze.

"Don't worry Gabi, I will find you.

(Gabi)
After work that night, Gabi went back to her so-called room to sleep. There was a tap on her door.
"Who is it?" She called softly.

"It's Mary." Was the quite reply.

"You can come in," She sat up straight in bed, against the wall. The door opened slowly, and Mary's head poked in before the rest of her appeared.

"Look, I wanted to tell you something," she sat on the end of Gabriella's bed. Mary looked, uncomfortable. "I have lived like this for years. Scents I was only 14. And for years I have dreamed of escaping, and living a normal life, with people my age, and my gender for that matter. I thought that you would want to get out of this hell hole just as bad as I do, so, I wanted to try and escape. Together," She smiled. To Gabi, It seemed like she had everything planed out she just needed someone to help her get to her goal.

"Well, I would love to get out of here, but I don't know if I want to get killed. What would happen if we get caught?" Replied Gabi.

"If we get caught, then, we get killed, or shipped off to another 'Business'. Please Gabriella, I need to get out of here, I just can't do it alone," Gabi watched as a tear slowly fell down her face.

"Alright, what do you have planed?" Mary jumped up and squealed ever so quietly.

"Alright, this is what I have planned…"
