ESCAPE PLAN I
“Because before we escape from here I am sure my family will have found the clue that I left behind, “Bee says and I looked at him curiously.
“What did you mean about that big brother,” I asked and he looked at him with a not-so-interesting look.
“Why did you always have so many questions,” he asked and I blinked at him innocently but it looked like he was not having any of it.
“I am sorry but sister Lydia always says that it is ok to be curious, “I say and I saw Olivia nod her head in acknowledgment supporting my talk but she cowered in fear when a big part of the brother looked at her.
“But it’s bad when a little girl becomes so curious you don’t have to worry about anything because big brother here will take care of everything,” he says and we all nod our heads at him.
“But it’s not bad if we also get carried along in the plan because you are not only just saving yourself but also all of us here,” Clara says.
“If you want to help then you should try to get all the information about this place from some of the kids that have little knowledge about it,” he says with an authoritative voice.
“Wow, big brother is so cool, are you a prince?”I asked teasingly.
“Even if he is not a prince I am very sure that he is from a powerful family because even the air around him is different maybe that’s why he is not telling us his name, “Clara says and I used my little brain to understand what she is saying but all I can understand is that big brother is a prince.
“So you mean big brother is a prince?”I asked and Victoria facepalmed herself.
“Big sister just says that he is not, “Victoria says.
“Ohhhhhh,” I say, rubbing my head because it aches from the pain of trying to understand it.
“I will try to ask Louis about the thing you told me about because I think he is the one that has been the longest here,” Clara says standing up but she was interrupted by big brother.
“You should try to study his expression of how he viewed escaping out of here before you discussed with him the escape plan because we don’t want to get our plan fouled just because someone likes it here, “big brother says.
“Ok I will do that but when did you think we will succeed in our plan” Clara inquired.
“If we get help from the other kids I think in the next two days but if not maybe longer” he explained and I looked at him with my mouth agape.
“That long big brother,” Olivia asked, also surprised as I was.
“Yes, that’s why I am making an escape plan for us even though I just got here today because I know even if I spent a month here we are still going to spend that many days planning our escape” he explained.
“You are really capable Bee” Clara mutters but big brother doesn’t even look at her side.
After Clara went to the bully boy’s side me and my friends decided to keep big brother company with our small talk but he looked disinterested so, we just decided to stop talking to him and take a nap since the room is already starting to get dark…
HALE ANCESTRAL HOME
The living room of the Hale ancestral looks so gloomy that you will think that they are mourning someone’s death because everyone has a solemn look even though they already have a clue about Bradley’s whereabouts they still haven’t found him and the day is already is almost over and that will make it a day that Bradley Hale went missing.
“Did you still don’t have any clue about my grandson’s whereabouts, “old master Hale yelled into the phone but he was met with absolute silence.
“It’s almost a day since he went missing and you still haven’t found him. I just hope that you will be able to answer me the next time I call, “the old master Hale says and hangs up on the phone breathing heavily.
“Master, we received a parcel, “the house Butler says and everyone in the room stood up in anxiety.
“What does it contain? Have you opened it?”Bradley’s mother asked and with just one look at her, you will know that she is already going through a lot.
“No ma’am I haven’t opened it yet,” the Butler says and he was quickly instructed by the old master Hale to open it. The Butler opens the parcel and he finds a letter and a cassette tape. The people in the room exchange looks with themselves.
“If you want to save your precious grandson you should watch the video” the butler reads and everyone in the room was anxious about what the disc might have contained.
“I think we are going to have to watch the video to know what is going on, “Will Hale says and the old man glares at him.
“Play the disc”old master Hale instructed and Bradley’s parents are also on edge about what actually could have happened to their son. The video started and the view of men in masks showed in front of the TV screen before Bradley’s face came into view everyone sighed in relief from seeing him not hurt at all but someone started talking in the background.
“I know you guys are in distress over the disappearance of your precious son and grandson but I am sorry it’s not my intention to be so rude, “the unrecognized voice in the background, and what he says makes the old master Hale’s blood boil.
“Since this is not the time to be polite so I will stop the politeness I will be direct with my request if you want your precious grandson you will have to give me 20 million dollars because nothing is for free in this world,” the voice says chuckling and the people in the room held the breath because of the kidnapper’s outrageous demand.
“I will hold out not killing your son if you meet up with my demand within 3 days but after I don’t think I can still hold on to him but I am sure you know what is going to come after that right so, I want you to think very carefully about my request and you can also beg your family save you, little prince,” the voice says laughingly instructing Bradley to say something too.
“Grandpa you know me right so, I believe in you” they heard Bradley say and his mother broke into another sob hearing her son’s voice.
“Wow you are a son of the aristocrat family, your words are simple and clear so, I hope you understand what he is saying old Man. I think this will be the end of our discussion,” the voice says and the video ends.
“Father, what are we going to do now? I think they are going to kill Bradley if we don’t give them that money,” Will Hale says.
“Bradley is your nephew and you are wishing him death”old master Hale says, twisting Will’s worry.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“No father I am sure my husband is just worried about Bradley’s well-being like every one of us here, “Kate says defending her husband.
“Everyone can go home now since we know how to save Bradley, “old master Hale says, ordering everybody to go to their house.
“But father we should stay together as a family,” Will says and Bradley’s father glares at him.
“I don’t think we should all be in a place where Bradley will be fine, “old master Hale says, looking at Bradley’s father with a complicated look.
“Justin to my study room, “old Master Hale says leaving the sitting room.
