Chapter 11

I crouched down over Chase, who had a welt on the top of his head. Duke was standing over him with a gun. No doubt, he’d hit him with it.

“Was that necessary? Hitting him?”

“You both are going to make us filthy rich.”

“You can’t leave them together,” the woman said.

“Why not?”

“Do I have to be the one to explain this?”

He grumbled and grabbed Chase.

“Wait!” I yelled.

Chase looked back at me. “Get your hands off me.”

“Shut the hell up. You’re going in the house basement for tonight, until we can figure out what to do with you then.”

“I don’t think she will keep them here that long.”

“I don’t care as long as I get paid.”

And just like that they all disappeared back up the ladder. For a moment I thought things might get better. To have someone to talk to would have been a vast improvement over silence. When I heard the sound of the wood seal over the top, I screamed. Frustration, tears and days of being stuck inside here, just boiled to the surface.

Once I had calmed down, I started to think of ways to get out again. That was all you could do. There had to be a way. I yanked on the chain. It was tied into the concrete. There was no way I was going to be able to pull it out.

I gazed back at the vent. That was the key to get out of here. I just needed a key to get out of these chains. I examined the lock. It was just your typical lock. I had seen people pick locks many times. This one was old. I started searching around for a piece of metal. Something thin. A hairpin. One was still in my hair from the updo I had been wearing for the show. I reached up and pulled it out. I had no clue if this was going to be strong enough. I jammed it into the opening of the lock and started twiddling it around. It caught on something inside. That’s it, I’ve done it. Then the metal hairpin bent. Damn! I tossed it across the room. There had to be something else I could use. As I was having that thought, the wood slid open and I heard someone coming down. I straightened up and pretended that I was not doing anything.

It was Edwin.

“I saw them bring someone in. Who was it?”

“Chase Bryan.”

“No way.”

“Yeah. Listen, Edwin. I need to get out of this chain, it’s hurting my ankle.” I wasn’t lying. The metal was rubbing at my leg. He looked down, then up at me.

“Please.”

He walked across the room to where Duke had placed the key and brought it over. He handed it to me, then hurried up, covering the top with the wood and barrels. Smart kid. I guess he figured if he let me out, I could have grabbed him and got out again.

I unlocked the padlock and felt relief. I stood up and stretched out my aching muscles.
