Full Summary:
Casey is walking home from school with Emily when a van pulls up next to them and slows down. They look over at it and think nothing of it, knowing the van will probably stop to pick someone up. Nothing bad ever happens in this town. But they are dead wrong. Four men jump out of the van, grab Casey and knock Emily unconscious. Casey is gone within a matter of minutes, kicking and screaming for help which drew the attention of almost every neighbor around them. Where was Casey taken? And will she ever be seen again?
That Day:
They were just getting out of school. Derek, Max and Sam were heading to the mall to do some shopping for their girlfriends. Casey and Emily were heading home to work on posters for D-Rock. As much as Casey hated Derek, she was the lead singer of D-Rock and they needed all the support that they could get at the moment. Casey and Emily said goodbye to Derek, Max and Sam and headed home, taking the long way home so that they could talk about what they were going to do that weekend. They loved talking about going to the mall and annoying Derek and his friends, especially if it had anything to do with their boyfriends.
Emily wasn't dating at the moment, but that didn't mean she could talk about her ex-boyfriend and what he used to do. Kendra and Derek had gotten back together. Casey and Max were going steady. Casey and Kendra were both cheerleaders and Emily was into Debate. Max was a football player, and Derek and Sam were on the hockey team. Casey had everything going for her. She was popular and sure she didn't have a great family but she loved them just the same.
Casey and Emily were about a half a block from their houses when the van pulled up and then slowed down and continued to follow them. The two girls thought nothing of it, continuing to talk about what was going to happen now that D-Rock had a signed Record Label. They seemed unaware of what was about to happen. The van parked next to the curb a few feet in front of them and as the girls were walking by, the door opened and four men jumped out right behind them. That got their attention and they whirled around to find out what the hell was going on.
They didn't recognize the men, but that didn't matter. These men spelt trouble and they knew it. Turning around to run away they found two men blocking their path. One of the men grabbed Casey and another grabbed Emily. Casey and Emily screamed in unison, alerting the neighbors to what was happening. People came out of their houses and saw what was happening and called the police. Emily was knocked to the ground, unconscious, but Casey was thrown into the van, kicking and screaming for her life. Her book back hit the floor of the car next to her and she was vaguely aware that her cell phone was off and tucked away in her pocket. She needed to turn it on since it had a GPS chip in it. Casey and Derek had both gotten GPS chips in their phones just in case they got lost somewhere and couldn't find their way home.
People were running towards the street, sirens were wailing in the background coming to the rescue, but they would be too late. Casey was gone and Emily was hurt, unconscious. She had witnessed the whole thing, but would she remember what the men looked like when she woke up?
