After school I started my walk home and went through the alley cause it would save me a ton of walking. There was a group of white guys talking and la...ghing and on saw me and tapped the others and pointed. I was starting to get nervous so I started to walk faster. They followed me and before I could scream they grabbed me blindfolded me and put a sock in my mouth and dragged me into a house. They put me in a car and drove for about 30 minutes. When they stopped they picked me up and carried me. Their car needed a new exhaust system from the catalytic converter to the tail pipe. When I called to let the man know, Amber answered the phone. I told her I was Mechanic Ray from the garage and that I had needed to talk to her dad about his car. She said her parents were in the backyard and then she started asking me questions like if I had a girlfriend and how old I was. She told me she was 15, soon to be 16 and was going to get her permit and learn to drive as soon as possible, but neither. ”“Only if they catch them. I will take two helicopters, they are loading now. We will catch the ship between 50 and 100 miles out, any closer and the cops might get involved, any farther and the helicopters run out of gas. We will get the gold and Martha ... if we can. Best scenario is that the crew co-operates and we get the drop on her; the problem is the crew might have sticky fingers for her gold. That is why we go in extra heavy with the tear-gas. The ship has about 8 crew but no other. We’re even going to come up with a different name for you,” Tonya said. “What do you think?”The idea had its appeal. She had to admit that she actually did like the idea of so many eyes on her. She just didn’t want them to know who she really was. The fantasy was exciting, but the reality scared her. If anyone recognized her she’d never be able to live it down.Did it matter? She was going to leave this place anyway. Will would come back, and then she would be swept away on a ship into some.
