It’s Monday. I stay with my buddy until I say goodbye around midnight.
My car is parked on the street. As I get in, someone opens my door. It’s a man holding a gun.
“Get out of the car!” he barks.
I step out. Another man pushes me into the backseat. We begin driving.
“Where’s your money?” one shouts.
“I only have $400 in my account. You can check it through my phone and here’s my pass word,” I say. “You can have anything you want. Just let me get back to my family”
“If you’re lying,” he says, “I’ll kill you.”
When they see I’m not lying, they ask if my friend has money at the house where they picked me up.
“Maybe,” I say. “If he does, he’ll give you whatever he has.”
We drive back to my friend’s house. I am led to the door, feeling a gun against my back. Before my friend opens the door, one man suddenly rushes me back into the car. I hear them arguing, wondering if my friend has called the police.
Now we’re driving, and I have no idea where we are. I try to think of my mom, who is all I have left.
Then the car stops. I’m palled out and pushed onto the road. I tell myself1 can’t die this way.
Just then, I hear the sound of police car, so do the men. They jump into my car and speed away. I’m left alone. I am alive.
I stand up and keep running until I get to a gas station. The light is on, but nobody is there. The pay phone has a broken line hanging from it. I fall to the ground, when a couple pulls in.
“Need help?” the woman asks in a mom’s way.
“Yes,” I say, like a mom’s boy. “I’ve just been robbed(抢劫) and kidnapped,” I say. “Can you please call the police?”
Help, finally is on the way.
