Captured

I stood in the drizzling rain and stared up at the building in front me with utmost determination, I wasn't going to reconsider my decision again.

Did they think they were going to get away with what they did? Hell no! I can't believe he had lied to me.

I knew I had heard those voices before, The men who broke into the Jones mansion where none other than Mr Steve's friends "Michael and Jason".

Even though I didn't see their faces clearly because it was dark, I am most certainly sure that it was them.

I really didn't want to believe it at first given that Mr Steve had helped out me a few times. But the way he way warned me not to tell anyone about the secret basement I had found, The way Shirley and the others had a gun with them, The way they reacted and threatened me when I came into their secret basement, Everything just proves that they are up to no good.

My mom is about to go to jail for something which I highly suspect they are behind.

Coming here now has to lead me to something, It could be anything I don't care but as far as it is enough evidence to prove my mom innocent and expose the real criminals.

I went up the staircases to the first floor straight to Mr Steve's door and knocked as hard as I could, But there was no response.

I looked up at the CCTV camera at the top right-hand corner of the wall beside the door and wondered if he's seeing me.

"Does he knows that I am here? Maybe he already knows that I know they were behind the theft that's why he's not answering me." I thought as I pace back and forth impatiently.

I continued to bang loudly on the door hoping that is going to get him to come out, But I heard no response whatsoever.

Still not giving up, I strode to the rear end of the building where the camouflaged door that led me directly to the basement was, But when I arrived there I was shocked because it didn't seem like there was any door there before.

The brown coloured brick wall showed no sign of an entrance at all. I was shocked at the sudden change.

Something seemed off, I placed my palms against the wall and felt the surface and to my utmost surprise it was Stony, I couldn't believe it.

I tried pushing the wall with my palm to see if there was going to be any reaction but I didn't get any.

It finally dawned on me that they had blocked out the secret entrance to the basement to protect it.

I kicked the wet wall hard with my right foot in annoyance, Are they not around or they are just ignoring me on purpose.

I went back and stood in front the building staring up at it with total concentration trying to figure out a way to break inside.

But as hard as I stared I couldn't figure out anything about this building in front of me, it was like every little holes around the building had been sealed, Even the windows were shut tightly and not even a handle could been seen.

I was shaking so badly due to the rain pour but I don't care one bit. My mom's freedom is at stake here and I'll do anything to get it back for her especially when everything was my fault.

I stared down at my wet torn boots and held my hands tightly as tears threatened to fall from my eyes. I can't just go back like this, I have to do something, Anything!

There I was still standing in the drizzling rain when a brilliant idea struck me, I looked up suddenly at the three storey in front of me and smiled.

Opposite the building was an abandoned bus station which has been turned into a junk station where all kinds trash and junks were being deposited.

I went across the street over to the junk station to the exact place where those bullies attacked me that day. I spotted a baseball bat in the midst of the junkyard.

I strolled towards it and picked it up smiling as I did, My heartbeat quickened because I knew what I was about to do will get me in serious trouble, But I still don't care.

I looked back at the building and then the entrance of Mr Steve's workshop with a meaning look.

When I got to the front of the garage, I raised the bat so high and knocked it against the garage door.

I continued with the hitting and it made a lot of noise even in the rain, I made use of all the strength in me and screaming and shouting as I did so.

"I know you are in there Mr Steve! You and your friends better come out here now or else I am telling everyone including the police about what you guys do!!" I yelled very loudly as I continue to hit on the door.

The metal door rang very loudly with every hit I gave it. I was starting to get tired already and my mind has begun to question what I was doing if it were right or not.

But I thought if I should stop now it's only going to be a loss for me and a win for them, So I am not going to stop until they come out here, I will make they do.

"You all better come out here you criminals!" I shouted on top of my lungs, The rainfall has reduced and that gave me the opportunity to make my voice more audible.

There were few people on the street due to the rain and most of them were trying to run from the rain so therefore paid less attention to a young girl's commotion in front of a building.

"I know you are all thieves! Fucking thieves!!" I yelled in frustration as I continued hitting on the door. I saw a guy passing by in the rain so i dropped the bat, Ran over to him and held his left arm.

"Sir! You have to help me sir, There are criminals hiding in that building I need you to help me get them out for me please!" I begged him, But he looked at me like I was some mentally disturbed kid who needs help.

"Hey let go off me you fucking psycho kid." He spatted, I didn't let go of him as I continued to beg him to help me. "Please sir, They did something terrible and my mom is going to jail for it instead of them, Please come help me get them out." I cried.

The man looked up at the building I was referring to and back at me in annoyance "And why will I do that uh, You obviously need help! Let go off me you ment!" He said jerking his hands off me as he adjusted his jacket and stomp off in annoyance.

I paused momentarily and watch as he walked away before remembering I had an unfinished business with the garage door.

Knowing that no one was going to help me no matter how i try to convince them gave me a newly founded determination to do this on my own without anybody's help.

I picked up the bat and continue to bang and yell and curse putting my utmost strength in every aspect, Now I have started to attract some people's attention as they stared at my display while at the same time running to avoid the rain.

I did not stop my assault against the door not until my mouth got taped and my face got covered with a black hood from behind and I was being carried away by some people.

I muffled loudly and kicked against them but all in vain as I was being held by people more powerful than me.

"Who are these people?! Where are they taking me!!" I thought in fear as I continued to kick against my captor.
