Chapter Seven : Ransom

Today was the last day of vacations. Sad, really. Especially for Shane. He can't perform on weekdays, which is sad.

After the kiss he and I ignored each other a an hour. But now we like need to be holding hands, or hugging. We NEED to touch each other. Nate has been really unsupportive of my decision of not to date him.

"Hey Emmy! We need to go shopping for school supplies." Shane said, putting on arm around me. I nodded.

"Hold on, let me get a jacket." I said. I got my purple jacket and held his hand. "Hey mom, we're going to the mall with Massie and her boyfriend." I told her waving. She smiled and waved.

We went with Massie and her boyfriend Ricky to the mall near our house. We went shopping for school stuff and two hours later we went to the food court. I bought a bag of M&M's and French fires. Shane bought sodas and a large pizza for everyone.

And that's when it happened. When I took a bite of pizza. Shane was nuzzling my hair while I laughed. The lights went out and everyone started screaming. And that when I heard the gun shooting. The second Shane heard it he pulled me under the table and I pulled Massie who pulled her boyfriend. We were all worried, our hearts pounding.

Then the lights were back on.

"Listen carefully," the calm, cruel voice said, "everyone stay where you are and don't move or you'll be killed." Everyone stopped shuffling.

"Good. Now all I want is two people. Just two. I want Shane Grey and his girlfriend, Emmy. That's all. And everyone else lives." I looked at Shane.

"I know where you are. Now you can either come to the Ice Cream Bar or my friends will come for you. Choose." Shane was holding my hand.

Two men came and forcefully took Shane and me.

"Alright then, thanks everyone, for your contribution. You may now exit the mall. You got one minute."

Massie looked at me. I mouthed the words, RUN! GO!

She shook her head. I pleaded with my eyes and Ricky took her out of the mall.

"Twenty seconds left." he said.

Ten seconds later everyone is gone. These was a really small mall, only one floor and a few stores. And there was no one here, just a few people, thank god.

"Everyone is gone." one of the guys said out loud.

"Good." the dude was still on speaker. "Now Emmy, please tell your boyfriend not to beat up anyone of my guards, please." I looked at Shane who was beating up one of the guards.

"Shane, please." I said, softly. Shane looked at me, then sighed. He got off the guy and stood next to me.

"Thank you Emmy. Now, I have nothing against you and I'm sorry you had to get involved but I need money for daughter. So you and your boyfriend are now hostages,"

Shane was holding my hand, biting his lip.

"Alright, please sit down." the voice said. The guards let go and we sat down, slowly.

"Thank you for listening, now please cooperate with me, and no one will get injured or die." the guards were still looking at us and blocking the closest exit.

"Alright, please hand over any cell phones you have. David will answer your calls. Shane took out his phone. Me, being stupid didn't bring mine. David took Shane's and felt all my pockets.

He grunted, " They're clean."

"Alright, the police will be here at any moment. I will not let you go your parents pay for you." the voice said, calmly. I tried to look for it, but I couldn't see it...or him.

"Now, I have some business to attend. So Gary will take care of you for now. Have fun." the loudspeaker clicked of and one of the guards came to us.

"Hello." he said in a gruff voice, smiling nastily. "You two are my prisoners. How terrible, they say I'm a horrible babysitter. Hope I don't end up killing you!" he laughed, revealing ugly rows of yellow teeth. Shane gripped my hand and I could tell he was itching to beat him up.

Gary was horrible. He enjoyed making Shane twitch. He kept insulting our music and complained that he couldn't hurt us because the 'boss' would kill him. But he did insult Shane's hair. Bad move.

"At least I have hair." Shane said angrily.

Gary spit on Shane, "Shut up stupid."

"Shane, please." I said, squeezing his hand. Gary smiled.

"Yes Shane, listen to your girlfriend. I doubt she'll talk to you if you get out of this mess. You know what, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone." he smiled and then left us alone.

"I'm sorry, M. It's all my fault." he said, biting his lip and looking repentant . Tears were falling from my eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry too." I whispered, burning my face in his chest.

"No, stop! Please!"

"Leave her alone!"

"Mr. and Mrs. grey, your son and daughter have been taken hostage."

"Richard, I can't do this! I can't put Mitchie in danger."

"No, mom you can't do this!"

"Bye Shane."

"Bye Mitchie."
