.... The click of the gun was coming from a dark room inside, she slowly walked towards the room and peeped. Her heart almost flew out of her chest as she saw the three men putting on black. They tied up someone and after looking for some time, she discovered the person was Ethan George.
Her palms became sweaty and she began to shake in fear. She slowly walked away to think of something, so she wouldn't get caught.
She called the cops.
"911, what's your emergency?" A male voice said.
"I need help." She said.
"Where are you? What's going on?" The cop asked.
"I'm at Glory Park. Fashion Frenzy Homes is having an exhibition show. But there is a problem." She said.
"That event is surrounded by cops. If there was an issue, they would have called for backup. Hope this isn't a silly joke?" The cop said.
"Why would I make such a joke? Ethan George's life is in danger. He has been tied up backstage by three men putting on black. I don't think anyone has noticed his absence yet." Isla said.
"Try to stay on the line, Miss." The cop said.
He switched to another copy around the venue.
"Kidnap case going on at backstage, I repeat kidnap case going on at backstage. Victim is Ethan George; I repeat Victim is Ethan George."
"Copy." The other cop replied.
Isla slowly walked back towards the place, but one of the men saw her.
She hung up the phone as she realized the man had seen her, as she was sure the police were already near.
"I..I... walked in the wrong direction, I'll just go back." She said to the man.
"What did you see?" The man asked.
"See? I didn't see anything. I'm just going to leave now." She said.
"Or, are you doing anything suspicious? Why are you even here? Let me see." She said and the man slapped her across her face and she screamed...
The police were already backstage, but they couldn't find anything. They were just about to leave when they heard a scream from a corner they never noticed before.
They slowly walked there and they saw the men tying up a girl. Ethan was already tied up and he looked beaten. His head was covered with a cloth. It looked like they were about to move him away from there.
"Freeze." The cop said and the men were shocked.
They raised their hands above their heads.
"You bitch." One of the men said, realizing Isla had called the cops before she was noticed.
The police handcuffed the men and untied both Ethan and Isla.
Ethan's lips were bleeding and Isla's face was swollen.
People soon noticed something was off, as the police came out with handcuffed men.
Soon, Ethan came out and people understood what was going on.
Amber immediately ran to him crying.
"Are you okay? What happened to you? Oh my God! Who did this to you? They'll rot in jail." She cried.
"I'm fine," Ethan said and pushed her away.
He walked out to the police to see what was going on and why those men attempted to abduct him.
"We're still going to conduct more investigations. We can't say anything for now. We'll contact you if there is any news. But I think you should thank that young lady, Isla. She sacrificed herself for you. She contacted the police and used herself as bait, we would never have found you." The cop said and patted Ethan on his shoulder.
"Thanks, chief," Ethan said and turned.
He immediately understood why the girl was tied up with him.
He turned and saw her standing with another girl about her age.
"Ethan George is coming over." Melissa alerted Isla and Isla turned.
"Thanks," Ethan muttered and gave her a smile.
"It's nothing, sir," Isla said.
Ethan came closer and held her face.
"Sorry about this too." He said and let go of her face.
"Nah....it's fine. I'm kinda used to it, I'm just glad you're safe." Isla said and Ethan nodded.
One of the cops came towards them.
"Isla? We need a few words from you."
Isla walked towards the cop and he began to question her about what she had seen.
"She's my best friend. She's a really good person." Melissa said. She thought it right to put in a few good words for Isla.
"Oh, I see," Ethan said and walked away.
Madison came out to witness the police questioning Isla. She assumed Isla had something to do with the kidnap.
"Isla, what did you do? Sir, I swear, she's just my employee. I have no idea she's also a kidnapper. Please don't arrest me." She said.
"Stop being so dramatic Miss. Isla here, is actually our hero. She saved our Ethan. So, watch your mouth." Nicholas said from behind her and she was embarrassed.
She walked towards Ethan again.
"Hi, I'm Isla's boss." She said.
"What do you want?" Ethan asked.
"I um... maybe I could get your number to check up on you. You know, after what Isla has done for you today."
Ethan could see that she was openly flirting with him and he had a look of disgust in his face.
"Are you worth it? Get the hell outta my face." He said and walked out on her.
Nicholas came towards him.
"Boss, you have to show some appreciation." He said.
"How? I don't know how to." Ethan admitted.
"Ask her out on a date," Nicholas said.
"What?"
"I'll ask on your behalf," Nicholas said.
"Nick, no," Ethan said, but Nicholas ignored him and walked towards Isla.
"Umm... would you like to go on a date with Ethan?" He asked straightforwardly.
"Uh ...no. I would like that, but I honestly can't and I won't. Tell him it's fine." She declined politely.
Nicholas smiled and went back to Ethan.
"She declined."
"Yes!" Ethan said.
"Let's leave now. We need to get you to the hospital." Nicholas said.
Ethan quietly got into the car, Nicholas's wife got into the car too and they all drove off.
Melissa walked up to Isla and they giggled excitedly, but when they turned they saw two pair of eyes glaring at Isla...
