When I got out of the car. There was a big house which I think was their hideout. Mcjones took me to the basement. There were some men there . They were laughing and talking.When he entered the basement they welcomed him warmly.
-"Oh Mcjones I was sure that you will bring her with you "one of the men said
-"It was a piece of cake " Mcjones said and then he pushed me to the ground and said "So what do you think we should do with her? "
-"She knows our hideout and she saw our faces she could run away anytime and expose us "said one of them
-"Yeah you should get rid of her and quickly "said another one. I was terrified. I was silently shedding tears which were rolling down on cheeks. Then Mcjones said:" Then It's settled ". He pulled out his knife from his pocket, walked towards me and said :"Stand up.". I didn't move, I felt paralysed because of fear.I kept saying to myself :" It is just a horrible nightmare. You will wake up anytime" but I didn't.
-"I said stand up " said Mcjones again but this time he was aiming his knife towards my neck. I stood up shaking.
Mcjones aimed his blade to me and said :"Rest in peace little girl ". I closed my eyes. Then we heard a voice saying :"Freeze. Investigator Jone Foyle . Drop your weapons. Hands up. You are surrounded. ". Then he broke the door open and the policemen filled the basement, and captured the men who were there. Mr. Jone Foyle had a gun as well as the police. Mcjones seized the moment while they were arresting other men pulled me and put the knife to my neck and said " We will see who will surrender now Mr. Foyle "while laughing.
Mr. Jone Foyle said "I'm afraid if you don't leave her I will have to shoot ". Then immediately he shot Mcjones at his hand and before I was able to run he stabbed me in my leg so, I fell to the ground. Then Mr. Jone shot him again three times and said "arrest him ". Then he hurried to me and said :"don't worry Emily you will be okay" . I was in so much pain. I was bleeding.
-"Mr. Theodore told us everything at the right time. We tracked you here. Don't worry your daddy is waiting for you, so be a brave girl ". Then he carried me out and we took a car to the hospital. That was the last thing I remembered. When I woke up I was on a bed in a hospital. And I saw my dad sitting beside me. I thought I was dreaming so I said" :"Daddy is that you?". My dad looked at me and said :"Emily my dear. Yes it is me sweetheart "then he hugged me
-"Daddy I missed you so much"
-"I'm sorry Emily I'm really sorry dear "and he kissed me on my forehead.
-"It does not matter now father. The most important thing That I'm with you now". Then my father said :"And look who I brought for you".
-"Mummy. Mummy" said I. I hugged her and kissed her. She said :"Don't do that to me again Emily". I found out that it wasn't just mummy and daddy who were in the room.
-"Welcome back Emily "said Mr. Theodore.
" You were such a brave girl Emily. Your parents are lucky to have you "said Mr. Jone Foyle. I was very happy and satisfied. Although my leg hurt me. Seeing my parents again was like a painkiller to my wound.
-"Thank you all for helping me getting back to my parents. Thank you Mr. Theodore. Thank you Mr. Jone"
-"Don't Thank me. Thank Mr. Theodore he was the one who brought the police to the hospital and told them everything in time". I thanked Mr. Theodore . And after a few days I got better and went back to my dear village. The first thing I did there was to visit Mr. Leon, I thanked him very much for helping my father finding me. He was very happy when he saw me. And since then I have never been away from my family. Mr. Theodore has found a new job in London he visited us regularly .My dad has also found a great job. And we lived happily ever since.
