Chapter 55 - Oh Snap

One day I was practicing at the gym with a couple of friends from the basketball team just to get ready for college. Momba had also got accepted to the Maryland Terps and was going to be joining me on the team. At this point, Momba had become a very important person to me in this life. We have been playing together since middle school,  so he had become like family to me and another brother.After the practice, I was getting in my car to go home when somebody had snuck up behind me and put a paper towel over my nose with a strange smell. I started to lose consciousness as I tried to freeze time but it didn't work. The kidnappers left a note on my car as they drove off. I had forgotten to take security with me since I knew I had all these abilities. I thought nobody would be able to harm me but look at me here getting kidnapped and being ransomed. When my family heard about the kidnapping they were so shocked and scared. First off they didn't have the money to pay off the kidnappers that were asking for $500,000 which was half a million dollars. Rasta could at least get $400,000 but he needed $100 thousand more in order to cover it. They weren't allowed to contact the police so they had to think of a way to gather the money.Rasta had lost a lot of money due to the last game that I had left. He had bet most of the money that we had saved up for it because he thought that we were going to win this game but he ended up losing a lot of money due to it being such a big game, so for a few weeks he was quite depressed, but he got over it quickly after I had told him that it was nothing and that we would make way more in the future in college games.I woke up in a cold basement as I looked around me and saw nothing but a creepy swinging light. I started calling out for help that's when somebody had opened the door and came into the room he told me to shut up after slapping me. I asked him why were they doing this and they told me that I have become very famous lately as they saw me on the TV and the newspapers, even a kids magazine,They figured that I would have money and I was easy pickings since there was no security around me which I quickly agreed with them. I told them that I don't have any money since I'm still in high school but all they could do was laugh as they already told me that my brother was bringing 400,000 to meet up with them. I was shocked by this and told them that their plan would not work, after hearing that they got a little nervous but then got over it quickly and knocked me out.I was once again in la-la land while Rasta and the rest of the family were trying to arrange the money to give to the kidnappers. The bank was surprised that Rasta wanted to take such a huge sum out and told Rasta it will take a few days to get that kind of money ready, and they had to even get verification of what they were going to do with that money but Rasta could not tell them that it was because of a kidnapping.Rasta told them that it was for a house that they wanted to build and they wanted to pay in cash. This surprised the bank tellers as they told Rasta that they could easily go through the bank in order to purchase one.  Rasta wasn't hearing any of that as he told them that he needs the cash. They told him to come back in two days and they will have it ready for him. Rasta was so pissed he did not want to keep me waiting for 2 days with the kidnappers.I had other plans while this was all happening, I had woken up again this time I was smart enough not to make any noise. I started to try to escape from my bondage as I made the chair fall after rocking side to side. I fell on the ground and spotted a pencil I squirmed my way towards it. I picked it up and wondered if my skills could do other things, so I quickly tossed it up the pencil with what little strength I could muster up.The pencil had it went up and then came down stabbing the side and edge of the ropes. I kept repeating that process until it was loose enough for me to break free from. I had finally escaped from the bondage, and I knocked on the door. The guys there were surprised as they told one of them to go and check on the prisoner. As soon as the guy came in he was shocked to see the chair was empty as I came from behind him and knocked him out.The others did not realize that I had escaped so I snuck in there chill spot as I was knocking them out one by one. After a while, a couple of them caught on and noticed that I had escaped so they all attacked me when they found me. There were only three of them left so I was able to take good care of them thanks to my black belt. One guy attacked me with a pole I quickly dodged it and used a low leg sweep to sweep him off his feet and then I karate chopped him to knock him out.The other two quickly took out their guns and just when they were about to shoot I time froze them as I got behind him and knocked them both out with karate chops. I took their cell phones and called Rasta to come and pick me up and call the cops while they were at it. Rasta was surprised by this as he called the bank to cancel out the order and had Ivy contact the police.After a few minutes, the police had arrived along with my family. The police came and arrested everybody there and were surprised by the location that they had chosen because it was totally off the grid and didn't know that they were committing a lot of crimes using this location. It didn't seem to be the first time that they have kidnapped folks. The police thanked me for my heroism and a few days later the Captain of the police squad had awarded me with a metal.Isabella was crying after she had heard about what had happened to me and couldn't eat and sleep until she saw that I was okay when she finally saw me she was full of joy as well as everybody else in my family.
