fourteen.

I didn’t look up, move or breathe when I heard the door open. There were at least two people inside the shed. They didn’t talk, but I was sure I had heard the scuffles of more than one pair of feet.

“What the shit?” one of the voices said in a hushed, deep voice. Bobby Lee. “Did we screw it up again?”

“Did you screw it up again,” a second voice, Cy, said. It seemed as though they were trying to disguise them, but I was getting better at picking out their voices.

I wondered what they’d do if they didn’t find what they were looking for, which I assumed was me because I was the only one that hadn’t fallen asleep. Would they start killing us? But that wouldn’t make much sense. They could have done that without drugging us.

“Oh shit man, I bet they shared again,” Bobby Lee groaned.

“Don’t think so. Then we’d probably have two awake instead of all asleep. Hmm,” Cy said as I heard the movement of feet.

“This one’s out cold,” Bobby Lee said in a dopey voice. He’d given up on trying to disguise it. Why would they need to disguise their voices anyway? And why were their two voices the only ones I’d heard? Where was everyone else? I guess, for whatever reason, Cy and Bobby Lee did all the dirty work.

“This one too,” Cy grunted.

“Come out, come out wherever you are!” Bobby Lee said in a voice that chilled my bones.

I didn’t need to open my eyes to see they were moving their way towards me. Somehow I managed to keep myself calm and unmoving, even when they poked me with what I assumed was the same rifle I had seen when they brought the food into the shed.

“This doesn’t make sense,” Bobby Lee said as he kicked the dirt. I was pelted in the back of my head with several little pebbles.

“Let’s just shoot them. One by one. Start with the one by the door,” Cy said and I could imagine him grinning as he looked around.

I could feel my heart rate increase, and I was having trouble controlling my breathing. When one of them grabbed me by the arm that had the bandage on it, I knew they had noticed my body movements. I managed not to scream out in pain even though it felt like bee stings on my arm where he touched the burned skin.

My eyes popped open, and I saw Bobby Lee standing by the door. His gun at his side. He didn’t have any intention of shooting any of us. I wanted to slap the ear-to-ear smile off of his chunky face with a piece of steel wool.

“Clever little girl aren’t you?” Cy said, nodding as though he appreciated my attempt. But not enough to let me go.

Cy dragged me out of the shed as I kicked and struggled against him. I shouted for Dean and then for Penn, but they didn’t budge.

Bobby Lee slammed the door shut, and they were out of my sight.
