Chapter 3
11:20 AM outside the school
"Anyone still inside?" the chief of police asked the sergeant.
"Eight students sir" he answered "Andre Harris, Beck Oliver, Cat Valentine, Jade West, Sinjin Van Cleef, Tori Vega and Trina Vega"
"Are there any connections between them?"
"Trina and Tori Vega are sisters and all of them are a group of close friends and colleagues, according to their classmates"
"Get me everything you can find about those kids, if they are planning to do something we need to get down to the bottom of it"
"Excuse me" said Sikowitz "If I may interrupt, I heard you talking and you couldn't possibly be accusing these children of doing that, they wouldn't hurt a fly"
He sighed "They are friends, all of them, this isn't an accident. I have come across this a lot in my years in duty"
"They have been taken as hostages and you are accusing them"
"You would be surprised by how much appearance could deceive"
And with that he left Sikowitz dumb-founded, his children would never do that, would they?
11:20 AM Sikowitz's classroom
The door opened once again, and strong arms shoved the limp bodies of Beck and Trina inside, who landed on the floor- face first, with a thud.
A wave of panic hit the gang, as they went to check on them; Jade was first to reach Beck, followed by Tori who went to check on her sister. They rolled their bodies over, shaking them.
"Beck! Beck!" she screamed, her fingers fumbling about his neck; trying to find a pulse. Thankfully, she found one, it wasn't very steady, but she knew that he would be fine.
"Come on Trina, please get up" Tori pleaded, shaking her sister still.
The older sister's chest was rising up and down, and that was enough for the moment.
"Why are you doing this?" Robbie, who had tears running down his face now, screamed at the door "Let us go"
"Shut up" a voice answered, making Cat jump back out of fear as she sobbed harder.
"I am under my bed. I am under my bed" she said, covering her ears.
"Cat! Your first aid kit" Tori remembered.
"Oh, yes"
The little red headed girl jumped up and grabbed her floral backpack, they proceeded then to clean and wrap up Trina's stomach wound, thankfully it was just a scrape, then they pulled Beck and Trina's legs up in the air; allowing the blood to flow to their brains.
A minute later, Trina was starting to come around, but Beck seized to show any sign of waking up.
"Trina!" the little sister rejoiced, hugging her sister, but no one else showed a sign of care, they just murmured a 'good to have you back'
"Beck, baby, come on" Jade pleaded, loosening his clothes "Beck! Beck! Get up"
Andre got the little water, from the mountain stream- filled with fish pee, and wiped off Beck's face with it, that seemed to revive him a bit, and Beck stirred uncomfortably, his brows coming together in a frown as he groaned.
"What happened?"
"You are awake" cheered Robbie, relieved. But Jade couldn't get a word out; she had a hard time getting rid of that lump in her throat, or the stinging of tears in her eyes.
11: 26 AM Sikowitz's classroom
Beck slowly regained a bit of his energy, as he started getting up, he noticed Sinjin, hovering over him, worry etched upon his face, oh he better be scared
"You son of a bitch" he growled, grabbing Sinjin's collar and pulling him, so they were nose to nose as he shook him out of rage "Why did you do it?"
Everyone was too stunned to even say anything; Beck was always calm and collected one. They could except this behavior out of- Jade maybe, anyone but Beck.
"Do what?" asked Sinjin, slightly afraid.
"YOU WERE IN MY RV! YOU WERE IN MY RV"
It was more of an accusation that a statement.
"W-Wha- I didn't- I just"
"Beck, let go of him, what happened?" Tori asked.
"JADE IS MY GIRLFRIEND! DO YOU HEAR ME?"
"Why would you do this to us Sinjin?" asked Trina faintly.
"Do what?" Jade asked confused- and slightly angry from being kept in the dark.
"He was the one…" Trina was interrupted by the sound of the door banging open.
"Get them"
They were pulled roughly to their feet. Beck was still trembling with fury, Tori was looking around confused, Cat had jumped in Robbie's arms again, Andre was staring wide eyed, Trina was silently crying, Jade started kicking and swearing at the men, and Sinjin fearfully complied.
11:30 in their kidnappers van
They were all handcuffed, gagged and blindfolded, as the car swerved, some of them toppled over, banging against the side of the vehicle.
Everyone was dragged out through the roof, down the emergency ladder, at least that's what they guessed, because as they entered the storage room they could smell a hint of red velvet cupcakes from when Cat was staying there.
Unfortunately, the police must have over-looked that area.
Robbie's mind wandered to Rex, who he had hid under a desk, hoping that if he died, someone would find his best pal.
12:26 PM in an unknown location
They were all dragged outside, shoved roughly into rooms, and man handled. Up until they reached a location, they felt someone tie their hands to something, then the blindfold was removed.
A brightly lit room came into view, full of colors, it seemed oddly familiar. Then Tori gasped as the realization kicked in, they were standing at podiums, each handcuffed to them.
A voice boomed "Welcome back to yet another episode of your games show brain squeezers"
Thank you all so much for the reviews, I am writing free style, which means I don't plan, I just let the story go with the flow. So turns and twists might happen a lot.
