Chapter 30 - Chapter 29

The footsteps faded as Angela slowly open the door, she had looked through on the side of the door, it was quiet there was no one in site, as she stepped out behind the door, she had to find the key to that door.

She slowly picked through those keys, and fitted every key, when he was down to the lastkey, the gate locked open.

With a sigh of relieve Angela looked around the and walked over to the door it she attempted to push it open, but it was locked, she banged twice on the door.

When she heard someone screaming help, "Nicole is that you?" There was no answer, Angela searched through the keys when she heard footsteps from upstaires, and ran manovoured into corner until the footsteps faded.

She stood up and put the gun to the back of her Jean. She searched through the keys and found a key which had fitted into the door. She slowly turned the key expecting the worst, taking a deep breath, when the door opened a horrible smell coming from the cell an unbearable. There sat a girl; her hair hung loosely over her knees her face was buried to her knees. She wore a white rope which was covered in filth, in the corner was a white bucket.

Rats were eating on the crumbs that were on the ground, hello? No response, Angela walked up to the girl, and kept the gun to her side. She kneeled, faced the girl, and reached out to touch her shoulder; her finger was inches away when the girl looked up; Angela couldn't believe her eyes. It was Nicole.

Nicole had recognized Angela; her eyes were black beneath from no sleep, her hair was messy and curly, and her hands and nails were dirty and lips were dry.

"Nicole it's me Angela, Jacks sister?" Angela leaned in and tried to lift Nicole up from ground; Nicole could barely breathe, as she struggled to stand up.

Angela had put her arm around her Neck as she had lifted Nicole from the ground; you can do this, she was utterly is disorientated, Angela removed a bottle of water which she had kept on her and gave it to Nicole. Nicole looked at the bottle of water as if she had never seen water before, she drank it choking on the water as she coughed.

She had swallowed every drop of water that was in that bottle. She then looked up at Angela as if Angela was a bright light appearing out of darkness.

An gel laaa she said in a soft tone, as she reached out with her index touching her face, you, she stutter "you have come to save me." She pushed herself up straight as she dragged her feet with every bit of energy left in her.

"We need to get out of here." Angela repeated, "you need to be quiet."

Nicole looked up at her. "Be quiet."

Nicole was having this horrible smell of bad odour, Angela was trying her best to avoid that smell by covering a clothe over her nose.

"Wait here i will be back for you."

No, no... Nicole screamed frantically, you can't leave me here with these pigs.

Ssshhhhhh... Quiet I hear someone upstairs, Angela grabbed Nicole and pulled her to the corner holding her hand over her mouth, if they hear is they will lock us both away and no one will ever find us, Angela whispered softly in her ear. "We are going to get out of here, but first we need to keep you calm."

"I am calm." Nicole whispered as she struggled to keep steady.

"We would have to wait till dark before we can get out of here right now is sounds like everyone is awake."

Nicole Nodded, as Angela sat down flat on the ground, keeping her gun in her hand.

"We will get out of here."

The door upstairs had a sudden bang, and someone was screaming.

"Are you trying to get us killed? What were you thinking? The brother has his suspicions your imbercile." There was another loud bang this time it sounded as if someone had punched the door.

"You have to be careful we can't afford slip ups and have you found that girl?

"No boss." Replied a younger male voice." but we do believe she is around, people heard and saw her."

"If they heard and saw her why the fuck is she caught."

"Boss, she is fast and smart, its as if she knows our every move, but we have a plan to catch her out."

"Good that the news I like to hear, we will have to start cleaning out those cells in the basement, just in case anyone had tipped off the cops"

"Okay boss we will get right onto it."

Angela had start to worry

, if they came downstaires and noticed the gaurds were killed, and the cell is empty they would hunt for, Angela tighten her grip on the gum holding it up, her heart was pounding, the anticipation was worst that being in the sea, with tiger sharks and bull sharks at yout feet.

She thought, "I can't use the bullets finished." Angela hide the gun in the back of her pants in her belt.

She then removed her knife, Nicole looked at her in total shock, "Angela is so calm." She thought to herself, her stomach had start to make crumbling sounds, Angela turned and looked at Nicole handing her a sneakers bar smiling.

Nicole looked at her with her wide and grabbed the sneaker bar, ripping the paper off like a little kid getting it's first Christmas present.

She ate that sneakers bar so fast, holding it with two hands covering as she ate it.

"You must have starving, Nicole felt a little embarrassed as she shook her head."

"You are safe now." Nicole shook her head and asked for more water, Angela reached into her backpack removing another bottle of water handing it to her, Nicole grabbed it as she became more conscious to her surrounding.

She was now able to stand up straight, "where is Jack?" Was her first question, Jack is at home, people are suspecting him for your disappearance, but no one would believe his not capable of that.

Nicole's eyes grew wide when a third voice upstairs said, we first need to clean up the mess outside before starting with the cells, we are going to split up in three groups and whoever finds her bring her alive to me, I want had father to plead for her life as I slit her throat.

Nicole had started shaking, as her eyes grew big, whoever that was she was afraid of that person. "Is that the guy who took you." Nicole's eyes were wide she nodded her head.

"Dont be afraid, you are not alone we have each other. Nicole continued staring at the door of the basement, the light from upstairs was thinking through a uneven cut on the edge of the basement door, the head foots walked across the wooden floor as every sound? Sounded as if he was about trap right through the wooden floor, the dust from the floor loosened falling onto Angela and Nicole, Nicole wanted to sneeze as Angela covered her hand over Nicols mouth.

They will hear us, Nicole let out a soft sneeze, and whispered. " thank you."

Whoever was upstairs has left, angela stepped go the ladders, and peaked through the door, there was no one in site, Angela had then reached down her arm as she had guided Nicole up the ladder, Nicole had been so long locked up, she had difficulty moving her legs. When she reached upstairs Nicole covered her eyes, she had been stuck so long in the darkness that the light was to bright for her.

"We have to keep moving Nicole, Angela and Nicole ran to the back and looking out of the kitchen window which had a net over, " it's safer to go out here than the front, there is no one here, Angela open the back door. She thought Nicole was behind her until she had looked back and saw Nicole was by the fridge stuffing her mouth. "Nicole, come we have to go before they get back."

Nicole turned to Angela stretching out her arm with a apple, Angela shook he head, "yes now come we do not have much time, the back of the yard had a tall five-meter concrete wall. "I don't know how we going to get over here, there is a gate over there, it was a black gate with sharp points which was locked.

Any idea how we can get out of here, Nicole had pointed down towards the corner of the wall it had a hole deep enough to crawl through under. Angela grinned, your a genius they ran over to hole of the wall. And was about to crawl under it when there was dogs that's had started to bark.

"Shit, don't tell me dogs are on the opposite side off the wall, they bad looked around but that was the only mistake.

"I am sure the dogs are tied up or else they would be through this hole."

Angela looked at Nicole and gave a broad smile, "you have a point all we have to do is hop you are right."
