Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

564 Escape

The drugs kicked in. And soon, Matthew felt that everything in front of him becoming a blur. As he sat down slowly, holding the table, Matthew said to Alicia, "You should go now."

"No, | can't leave you alone here. Let me help you up."

"No! You should leave now, Alicia," Matthew whispered. He then spoke something with all his strength

"What did you say?" Alicia asked as she helped him out the door. She had only taken a few steps into the courtyard when the door to the other room burst open. Then Alicia and the man standing in the doorway saw each other at the same time

At that moment, Alicia widened her eyes in surprise. She suddenly realized what Matthew had just said was, "They saw us." And she thought, Oh, crap! Why didn't you tell me earlier, Matthew? Damn it! We’re so screwed!

Half an hour later, Alicia was tied up in the corner of the room while Matthew had already passed out. And the kidnappers began their discussion

"What should we do to handle the girl?"

"Is she the boy's sister Tammy Wright?"

"Probably. I'll ask the boss what we should do about her. We're getting a lot of credit if she's really Tammy, right? We caught two Wrights at the same time!"

Alicia's heart began to race. Theyalso want tocatch Tammy? she thought

Outside the courtyard, Tammy and Natalie waited until midnight

Tammy couldn't stand up, so she panicked even more

"Did they get Alicia? | told you we shouldn't come here! Let's call Ryan and have him save her!" Natalie said

"I called him before we came here! But | had to do it myself because he didn't answer me."

"So, what should we do now?"

"Just wait a little longer." Tammy was nervous, but there was nothing she could do but wait. She felt bad for involving Alicia in this whole mess. /7 anything happens to Alicia, I'll never forgive myself! Tammy thought to herself ee

Awhile later, Matthew woke up in the back of a pickup truck. He then heard someone gasping for air. As he looked around, he found Alicia, who was sitting not far away
