tramp! I know you're the one who took my daughter to that- that place!"
                  Kaylie stepped backwards in shock. What was wrong with them? Where was her friend?
                  "Where's Janet? I haven't heard from her in days."
                  "That's because we took away her phone! You can tell that giant who keeps driving by to stay away!"
                  "Giant?"
                  They must mean Jack. He'd been driving by Janet's house? Since when?
                  Kaylie wanted to get away from these horrible people as quickly as possible but she had to find out where her friend was. Thankfully Janet's mom disappeared back into the house.
                  "Please Mr. Mahoney. Where is she?"
                  He glanced over his shoulder and smiled apologetically.
                  "She's in her room. But she'd not coming out any time soon. Sorry Kaylie."
                  He closed the door in her face. Kaylie stood there wondering what the heck was going on. She knew where Janet's room was. No one could stop her from peeking in the window.
                  She snuck along the side of the house and stared aghast at the hastily nailed shut window frame. They were treating Jan like a criminal. Kaylie shuddered. She might have lost her dad early on, but he'd loved and protected her. So had her mom.
                  Growing up she'd thought her well off friend had the best life. The big house, two parents… belatedly Kaylie realized how wrong she had been all those years.
                  She knocked tentatively on the window. She tried to see into the room but it was hard without any lights on inside. Janet's face appeared in the window. There were circles under her pretty blue eyes.
                  She looked awful.
                  Janet held a finger to her lips signaling silence. Kaylie nodded and waited while Jan disappeared from the window. She was back after a few moments, holding up a piece of paper with hastily scribbled words.
                  'Three days. No food or water.'
                  Kaylie covered her mouth with her hand, horrified. Janet's head disappeared from sight for a moment. She reappeared in the window with a fresh piece of paper.
                  'I need to get out of here.'
                  Kaylie nodded and mouthed 'I'll be back later! Let me talk to Dev.'
                  She wasn't sure if her friend understood her. She ran across the lawn, pulling her cell phone from her pocket. Dev would help her figure out what to do.
     
     
    **********
     
     
                  Janet closed her eyes and tensed her body, ready to leap out of the way. She was holding her desk chair in the air, barely able to keep it up with her trembling arms. She was so weak from lack of food but she could do this.
                  She had to do this.
                  Her parents had left her in there for almost four days now. Four days without food or water. Janet was starting to think they weren't ever going to let her out. Tears stung her eyes. She'd always known her mother didn't really love her, but to do this to her? And her father, weak as he was, he'd cared a little bit. She'd thought he had anyway. Apparently she'd been wrong.
                  Just like she'd been wrong about Jack.
                  She'd thought he cared about her. More than just wanting to take her to bed. He'd acted so protective of her when those guys had stepped to her at the mall. But he'd just been doing what he did. He was like a medieval knight in that way. A hero who always did the right thing. It didn't mean he cared.
                  Nobody cared about her.
                  She swallowed back the sob that caught in her throat. No time
