Being Held Hostage, chapter 2
Mandy opened her eyes slowly. She took in every thing that was around her. Fear entered into her heart.
She had no clue where she was. All she knew was she was in the back of van. She looked around. Mandy watched the streetlights from outside come throught the windows of the van. With each beam of light that entered the van Mandy could see more and more of what was around her.
She turned to her side to see Mike sitting next to her, wide awake. She saw that his arms were tied behind his back. Mandy then realized her hands were tied as well.
"Mike." Mandy whispered. "Mike."
"You're awake."
"Yeah. What happened?"
"They got us."
The van suddenly stopped. Mike and Mandy sat in the back waiting for something to happen as they heard the two front doors open and then close. Footsteps were heard from behind the side door. That's when the door slid open. This time there were no lights to blind them. They saw clearly who stood in front of them.
There two men, one with bleach blonde hair and one with pitch black hair. They stood side by side, both smiling at what they had in their van.
"Hank, can you imagine my surprise when I reached out to grab two green day members and came back with only one and some chick?" The blonde asked the other one.
"Don't sweat it Dan, I'm sure we can make this work out." The black haired asnwered.
The two stared into Mike and Mandy's eyes.
"What do you want from us?" Mandy asked. There was a bit of anger in her voice, which both Hank and Dan picked up on.
"She speaks!" Dan cired out. Mandy's anger rose at this.
"Our plan was to take two of the green day guys and have the other one pay the ransom. But now we're missing one." Dan answered.
"Oh well. I think now we have an even bigger advantage." Hank said.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Mike snapped at them. Dan leaned towards Mike.
"What do you think would happen when the public finds out on of green day's fans met her untimely death and Mike Dirnt did nothing to stop it?"
"You don't have the balls." Mike said, squinting his eyes.
Hank reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun. Standing completely still in his place, he pointed the gun at Mandy's head.
"You were saying?" Dan asked Mike. Mike sat quietly.
"We've already sent a message to your hotel room where I'm guessing if your buddies are smart they would be there." Hank said, the gun still pointing to Mandy's head.
"How did you know where we were staying?" Mike asked confused.
"We know much more than that. Trust me." Dan answered. The two of them then closed the door and walked back to the front of the van, got in, and drove off.
"Mike...I'm scared." Mandy said quietly.
"Don't worry. Nothing bad's gonna happen. I won't let them hurt you." Mike said to her. The two looked each other in the eyes.
"Billie and Tre have no reason to pay the ransom for me. They haven't known me for more than a few hours." Mandy said. Tears started to fill in her eyes.
"They'll pay. They're good guys, they wouldn't let an innocent life be spared." Mike said. Mandy smiled up to him. "Everything is going to be fine."
She had no clue where she was. All she knew was she was in the back of van. She looked around. Mandy watched the streetlights from outside come throught the windows of the van. With each beam of light that entered the van Mandy could see more and more of what was around her.
