Chapter 3: The truth
Nooshy slowly opened her eyes trying to figure out where she was and what had happened she looked down and saw she was in what looked like a hospital gown then she looked to her left and saw johnny asleep in the chair, she softly nudged him until he woke up "Morning Johnny" she said "any idea what happened to me?"
"Nooshy you're ok" Johnny said pulling her into a hug.
"Why wouldn't I be" Nooshy responded.
"What's the last thing you remember" Johnny asked.
"I just remember teaching you the move and then feeling pain in my chest and nothing after that" Nooshy explained.
"That sounds about right, after you passed out you were taken to the hospital and here, we are. Although I was told there was something that had been put in your arm and it may have caused you to pass out, the doctors removed it. I think it might be related to the attack."
"Well, that's worrying do they know anything about it yet" Nooshy asked.
"I don't think so."
"Then we should leave before they do" Before Johnny could respond he got a text from a random number "who's texting you now" Nooshy asked.
"I don't know, it just says run" Johnny said.
"I think we should go."
"Agreed but how will we leave" Nooshy asked.
"I still have a car remember" Johnny reminded her.
"Wont they recognize us or your car if it is them?"
"Hopefully not"
"Do we at least have somewhere to go, if they follow us, we can't risk going back to the house. Plus, we don't even know if they're here."
"I know a place, but we can't be followed."
"Is anyone else in the group here."
"No, it's just us" Suddenly they hear loud footsteps "Right, we should leave."
"Agreed let's go" they start running through the hospital.
Johnny checked his phone and saw one more text "Alright south exit blocked, guess we're going north" as they run to the north exit and sprint down the stairs "there's the car" Johnny said. As they got into the car Johnny took off towards the one safe place he knew
"I'm going to text Porsha" Nooshy said.
"Wait they might be able to track our phones if we go on the internet" Johnny said.
"True, are we almost there."
"We'll be there in about 10 minutes."
"Ok" They sat in silence for the rest of the trip.
When they pulled into the garage of a nice-looking house "This looks nice, and you've had this the entire time while we've been living in a garage" Nooshy said.
"It's a safe house in case my dad ever had to go into hiding for any reason" Johnny explained "People shouldn't know about it at all so that's why" As they walked into the house Johnny
headed towards the living room with Nooshy and sat on the couch turning on the news "what are they saying now?" Johnny asked.
"Just talking about how I was taken from the hospital, and they don't know what happened."
"Ok, random question, is there like a secret exit or something so we can get out unnoticed if we need to" Nooshy asked hoping she was right.
"Ok, don't get too excited but there is a way out if we need it." Johnny said hoping she wasn't about to do what he thought she was going to do Nooshy smirked noticing the worry on Johnny's face.
"I'm not going to do that today, want to grab some food"
"Sure, what do you want?"
"I think ravioli would be great what about you" Nooshy requested
"Sounds great to me" Johnny responded "I'll order it"
"Ok"
"You can go ahead and make it if you want"
About 20 minutes later they finished cooking. 20 minutes later they were sitting around the small table talking and joking and definitely not thinking about how they were trapped here. "You want some dessert" Johnny asked
"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Nooshy responded looking a bit distracted
"Well, I had a cake delivered a couple hours ago so what about that" Johnny suggested
"What flavor" Nooshy asked with hope in her eyes
"It's a custom made Ice cream cake with chocolate ice cream and mint icing" Johnny explained
"Sounds awesome" Nooshy said still looking a bit distracted.
"You seem a little distracted, are you ok?"
"Yeah" Nooshy responding hating how unconvincing she sounded
"You know I can tell when you're lying" Johnny said
"Yeah I know, this house looks a lot like the house I lived in when my parents were killed. It's kind of weird but I got a feeling when we drove around this area." Nooshy explained
"That's kind of strange"
"Yeah, what are you going to tell everyone"
"What do you mean"
"I mean there's risk of us leaving or making any calls to the group because even if our phones can't be traced, we still put them at risk so how can we contact them"
"Mail" Johnny suggested
Nooshy smirked a little before realizing that was their only option. So that night they ended up writing a letter and sending it to the theater.
