Taken

chapter 9~ im trapped

The car ride was quiet and awkward and I just wanted to leave. I can't stand Paul, he's honestly so annoying, and he tries to act like he cares about me but truth is if my dad still lived in newyork I wouldn't be here right now.

" alright just stay calm and tell them everything you can remember." Paul said as he parked in the city police officers parking lot. " Kay." I walked in and Paul followed me. " hi is detective benson here?" Paul asked. " yeah she's here I'll go get her." A guy said as he walked back to get her.
I started to get nervous, I don't know what this lady is going to ask me or what.

" hello detective benson here, what can I help you with."
" my step daughter was kidnapped, and she escaped. I want you to find this guy and throw him in jail." Paul says as she sits down.
She looked and me and smiled. "Here come with me." We walked back into a room.
" take a seat, I have some things I want to ask you, and you're Lauren Martinez right?" Detective benson said opening a notebook. " yes I am." " I worked on your kidnap case, can you tell me, do you remember where he took you, if he touched you, did he hurt you." She looked down at my knee. " no I don't remember anything." I really started to think. I'm helping a criminal right now... But Jason seems harmless to me, he wouldn't ever hurt me, so why should I hurt him.

Then I thought if the police heard I was lying... I would get in trouble. I'm stuck, and right now I feel like leaving. " may I please use the restroom?" I asked. " sure it's right down the hall to a right." I got up and walked to bathroom and locked the door right when I got in. I looked around then opened my phone and texted Jason." Where are you?" I sent it and turned my phone off and left the bathroom and walked back over to the detective. " everything okay?" She asked nicely. " oh yes I'm fine." I lied , I just wanted to go. " okay well can you answer these questions now?" Benson asks. " sure." " do you remember what he looked like?" Benson asked. " yes, he had brownish hair, and brown eyes." I started to describe Jason. " did he bring you anyhwere you could remeber from here?" i thought about the question for a second. "umm no i dont remember." i said stupidly.

" i need to know did he touch or hurt you?" benson asked, i turned around motioning paul to leave the room. " okay ill let you two talk." he said as he stood up and a guy opned the door.

" hi im elliott." he smiled and sat down."hello im lauren." i said formally.

"Lauren can you answer my question?" benson asked.

"oh yeah, no he didnt touch me or hurt me." i said and she looked at me like i was lying but i wasnt he didnt hurt me.

"honey we are here to help you, we want to catch this guy before he does it to anyone else so if there is anything you need to tell us say it." benson said standing up.

"there isnt much to remember." i said with a straight face.

" was he tall or short?" " he was in the middle 5"9 maybe 5"10 ?" I said not knowing how tall he was.

" can you tell me what happened the night you were kidnapped?" Benson asked. " I was going to the park and when I was listening to music he came up to me and started to talk to me very kindly then when I went to leave I was stopped." I took a breath and moved in the seat uncomfortly. i bit my lip and benson spoke up. " do you need a second?" Detective benson asks. " yeah I wanna step outside real quick." I got up. " do you want me to join?" Benson asks. "ill go with her elliott said opeing the door. " I'm fine." I walked out

" are you sure, we need to know you will be coming back." detective elliott said standing in the doorway.

"trust me ill be back i just need air for a quick second" i said as i walked away and closed the door .

i went to the elevator and someone came out and someone was going in with me."which floor?" he asked. "main floor" i said as the elevator door closed and started to move.

i took a breathe and looked around, i hate elevators so much. "you okay sweetie?" the guy asked." yeah i just dont like elevators." i said as it opened.

"well see its over just like that, youre never trapped just remember that, im ice-t you are?" he put his hand out.

"lauren." i shook his hand and left quickly.

" im just going out for air really quick." i said to the lady at th front desk..

"okay sweety." i smiled and walked out and down the stairs slowly.

i looked around and couldnt see any sign of jason. It was sorta cold outside and it was windy so my hair was flying around like crazy. i bent down and flipped my hair up into a bun and my phone flew out my shoe.damn i think it cracked.

i picked it up carefulley and saw no crack but a text from jason.

" look in front of you." I opened a text from Jason.

I looked up and saw Jason standing against his black BMW. " Jason!" I walked as fast as I could to him and he walked towards me. " I'm so glad you're here." He wrapped his arms around me. " we have to go!" Jason said leading me over to the door. " can we stop at my house real quick? I won't even go inside I put a bag on my balcony and it's reachable from the ground." I said as I sat in the passengers seat. " sure but we have to hurry." Jason said as he closed my door and ran over to his side and drove away slowly at first then sped away. " you know the way to my house right?" I asked looking over at him.

He looked over at me and slid his sunglasses down so I could see his eyes. " I was your stalker for a good 5 months... I know where you live." Jason sped up and soon we were at my house. " I'll go get it, it's on your balcony?" Jason asks as he opened his door?" " yeah hurry be careful!" I said looking at him. He smiled then left.

In less then 3 mins he came back and put the bag in the back seat then sped away. " how did you know I was gonna come outside? " I asked looking over at him. " I'm Jason McCann I'm always prepared." He looked over at me and winked.

" Jason what if they go looking for me? they know what i look like." i said worried. " you will be fine." jason said as he popped his gum and drove towards his house. " i honestly have the worse luck ever." i said looking over at him.

"what do you mean?" he asked. " you know exactly what i mean." i said looking out the window. i was starting to get worried because now if the police find jason, not only he will be in trouble... i will be too because i lied to them. im trapped either way.
