Safe

Chapter 1

Sometimes I ask myself; what has gone wrong?

         At this point in my life I can clearly say that my life is a mess. At some point something was going wrong, but till this moment I couldn't figure it out. I thought everything was just perfect and nothing could possibly go wrong, but instead of doing what anyone in my age was doing, now, I found myself in jail; at least I think I am, for a crime that I know nothing about. It's been 3 days now, and I don't even know why I am here. I think they have been mistaken between me and someone else, but clearly this person they mistook me for did something terrible. For 3 whole days since I woke up and found my eyes covered and my hands cuffed. No one came into the room, which is really strange. Usually that's not how things go. They don't lock people here no matter what they have done, someone always comes to interrogate. This freaks me out to be honest, but I try to calm myself by this thought; if it was something big they would have interrogated with me immediately. Maybe I was in danger so they are protecting me, but from what? I always end up with the same thing, I have no clue what's going on here. All I know is that I'm afraid.

        My name is Sally Hudson. I am a lawyer. Well, I don't really have a job as a lawyer because I graduated a month ago, but I was supposed to have an interview tomorrow, but under the new circumstances there won't be one.

         I am quiet stressed about everything here. It feels like I was kidnapped by the mafia or something. I have just graduated and I was arrested or kidnapped I am not sure. I wonder what will happen if I got out of here alive and started my career as a lawyer. I think they will kill me from the first case, or maybe they decided it would be better if they kill me now and end this. Actually if they are going to kill me they would rather do it soon because it's getting boring here. Besides my father will look for me for sure, and I am sure he will find me. Unless they hid me in another country or something so he would take a long time to find me.

        My father, Paterson Hudson is a famous lawyer. He is always busy, but he always finds time for me. He wanted me to be like him, a lawyer, and here I am just after graduation I was kidnapped, I am pretty sure they are afraid of the father and daughter team, but what they don't know is that I am not going to work in my father's office. I am going to start my career as my father did, from small offices to big ones then to mine. This didn't make my father happy at first, but he gave up to my will. He knows that I want to prove to myself before the world that I can do this on my own. I will be able to have my career and do it without anyone's help.

        By now, I'm pretty sure I was kidnapped, because if I was arrested by the police my father would have found a way to get me out, at least he would have come to see me, but nothing of this happened, and my boyfriend Jim is a police officer, so it doesn't make any sense that the police arrested me from 3 days and no one came to see me or even tell me what's going on.

       Jim Stevenson, the love of my life. We have been together for 2 years now. He is 26 years old. Our first encounter when we first met wasn't really nice. He was coming to arrest my father because one of the important people in the country wanted so. He was commanded by his boss to arrest my father. They faked charges against him, but we knew it was because of the case my father was working on which was against one of the biggest companies in the country, and my father was going to win the case, and there was no way to stop him from doing so, unless he didn't show up in front of the judge, which what they were planning to do, but fortunately Dad saw it coming so he already planned for a bail. After that he came to our house to apologize, he said there was nothing he could do about it he was just doing his job. Since then we became friends then it turned to love. He is the best one I have ever known so far. I am sure he is so worried about me now.

       I try to calm myself by the thought that Dad and Jim will be searching for me so it is just a matter of time and I will be out of here. It kind of frustrates me that it's been 3 days and nothing happened. No one came for me. Sometimes I think they just gave up and they will try to move on, but no, this can't be true, at least my dad won't do it. He won't stop searching for me.

        Another 24 hours went by and still nothing. It's getting scary now, really so scary. What if they thought I was disappearing because I wanted to! Before I was kidnapped I had a fight with my father, because of the job I was applying for. He didn't want me to work for another office. Maybe he thought I just left home to show him I won't change my mind? But how! He said it was fine and I can do what I want. Also he was going to contact the office I was applying for to see how it went. He was sure they would hire me but he would want to be sure of it. This means he didn't think I was kidnapped! And it really explains why I am still here.

        I decided I must escape. Although I searched the room for any way to get out of it, but found nothing. I was calmed somehow by the idea that my father and Jim were searching for me, but now that I am not sure they are, I have to get out from here, there must be a way. I always believe that there is always a way but you have to search and think so you would find it, and that's what I was not doing for the past 4 days, but I have to do it now.

        Since I woke up in this room, I suffer from a severe headache, and couldn't concentrate when I woke up; I took a long time to be fully conscious, but still couldn't move, that's why I never thought about escaping, I can't move, how am I supposed to escape. I am somehow better now, the headache is not gone but it gets better sometimes, and it is not strong now, so this is the best time to think about escaping.

        I started studying the room. The windows were closed from inside with a lock, which made the windows out of the choices. The door was locked I bet the same way as the windows, but from outside. I thought about making a tunnel but I found nothing to help me do so. It was a small room with a refrigerator so they won't bother coming to give me food, it was almost full which made me think they decided to keep me here for a very long time, but no I am Hudson's daughter and I will escape. There was a chair and a bathroom. Just this, which really left no choices, even the bathroom has no windows. There must be a way but what!

        Another day went and I was stuck here with nothing to do. I searched the room a thousand times with the same result every time; I can do nothing about it. This is really frustrating. The idea of me being under someone else's will is frustrating. But what if there was something I just can't see? I don't know why I am feeling like I am missing on something. The way of getting out of here is just in front of me but I can't see it.

        It was 11:00 pm which makes it almost 6 days. I closed my eyes to try and get some sleep on the floor, then it hit me, I went to make sure that I am right, and I was, how come I never saw it before! I knew it! I knew how I am going to escape.
