could take a few steps inside all three of them were suddenly grabbed and dragged along down the hallway.
Timmy looked over his shoulder and saw Martin holding him.
Kyle saw Brad holding him as Cindy held Bobby.
“Here you kids are” Martin said. “We were looking all over this place for you. Looks like you decided to show up for your skit after all. Well to bad for you, it’s not going to happen.”
All three of them tried getting away as they were pulled down the hall.
“Let us go. We need to save everyone,” Timmy yelled out as he tired pulling away from Martin.
“I don’t think so” Martin laughed “We were told to lock you guys up, so you can’t win the talent show” He looked over to Brad and back down the hallway “Where’s the other one? There’s supposed to be four of these kids”
Brad and Cindy looked back out the glass doors.
“Maybe he’s late” Brad called out “Lets lock them up anyway. When the other one shows up we can throw him in as well”
“I like that idea” Marin said.
The three high school kids dragged the three boys down the long empty hallway.
They couldn’t pull themselves free as the high school kids where stronger.
They tired yelling out, but no one in the building heard the struggling over the band on stage playing away in the auditorium.
They reached the end of the hallway and Martin pulled open the door to the janitor’s storage room. All at one time the three kids where thrown inside and landed on the floor.
“So long suckers” Martin yelled out while laughing. “Guess you won’t be winning the show today. All that hard work for nothing” He slammed the door and wedged a chair tightly under the door handle before any of the kids could get up to his feet.
Bobby got up ran over to the door and tired pulling on it. He hit his fist on it. “Let us out. Aliens are going to attack any second, we need to get everyone out of the building and away from town,” he yelled out.
As the three high school kids walked away back down the hall Cindy laughed and turned to Brad. “What is that crazy kid going on about?”
Brad shook his head “I have no idea, must have something to do with their boring skit,” he said while laughing.
“Now that’s all done. We’ll have to wait at the door for the other kid to show up, and get rid of him” Martin said “Can’t risk having the other kid showing up and freeing the other three”
“No problem” Brad said. They walked back to the front door and waited in the shadows for Sam.
Timmy and Kyle hammered on the door and yelled out for anyone walking by to open the door, but they knew it was no use. Everyone in the building was watching the show. No one had a reason to be walking the empty halls.
“Oh great, were in for it now” Bobby said, “How are we going to warn everyone?”
Kyle started looking around the room “We need to find something we can use to pull open the door”
Timmy and Booby agreed and quickly started looking for anything that could be used.
Bobby walked to the far side of the dark storage room and looked around. Hopefully there was something in the boxes that could be used. He noticed light coming through a small rectangular shaped window facing the street. He quickly stacked a few boxes on top of each other and climbed up. He looked out, hoping to see anyone walking down the street. Ready to call to them out if he did see them. Of course, today of all days, there’s no one out there. Everyone in town was in the same building he was trapped in, they just happened to be enjoying the show.
Kyle and Timmy noticed what he was doing and came running over. They stood a few feet back hoping he could see someone.
Timmy didn’t have to ask if he could. If someone were there he would be yelling out to them by now “How do you like that, the busiest street in all of town and its empty” he said disappointed.
“Guys, maybe, just maybe, I think I can climb out this window,” Bobby said as he pushed it open “It looks a little small, but I think I can work my way out.”
“Its our only chance” Timmy said.
Kyle moved forward and pushed against the boxes making sure they wouldn’t give out as Bobby worked his way through the window.
For a moment he thought he was stuck, but he worked harder, twisting his body and pulling his way through. The grass was a few feet below him. Once fully through he lowered himself to the grass hands firsts and quickly stood up. He wanted to run to the front doors and back down the hallway and opened the janitor’s door, but the high school brats would see him and throw him back inside. He needed a clever plan to get rid of them. He moved towards the front doors of the building, leaning against the side of the brick wall, slowly leaned forward and peaked inside. Sure enough he spotted the high schools kids hiding in the shadows, waiting for Sam to arrive. How could he trick them? He turned and started running to the back door of the town hall. Along the way he passed by the open window.
Kyle watched him run by and yelled out from the small window. “Where are you going? You’re headed in the wrong direction. You’re going to the back of the building. You need to go the front”
Bobby stopped for a moment “Can’t, the three losers are there waiting for Sam. I have an idea though.” He whispered and started running again to the back.
Kyle looked to Timmy “What is he up to?”
Bobby made his way to the back of the building and opened the door. He peaked inside and saw no one, he moved inside. He knew there where two long hallways that ran the length of the building on both sides with the auditorium in the center of the building. The high school kids were on one side by the main doors hiding. He started running up the other hall towards the top of the building, his feet echoing off the floor. He heard the music coming from the auditorium. He wanted to run inside right away and warn everyone, but he wanted the other two for help.
He reached the top of the long hallway and crossed the length of the auditorium. He leaned against the way and peaked down the opposite hallway. He spotted the three high school kids hiding in the shadows at the front door and yelled out. “Good to see you Sam. Good thing you helped free us”
He turned and took off running towards the hallway he first came up and ran back down it to the other end.
Brad jumped up from his hiding spot from behind the fake palm tree and looked over Martin who was hiding behind the front desk. “What was that? Did you just hear that? It sounded like one of the kids we locked up just called out Sam’s name? Impossible. How did Sam get into the building, we’ve been watching the front doors all along?”
Martin and Cindy looked at each other confused.
Cindy looked angry “He must’ve came in through a side door. Maybe he knew something ahead of time to avoid the main doors” she looked down the hall and saw the chair still under the door handle of the janitors closet. “This isn’t making sense. Who warned the brat? All the other kids are still locked up”
Martin hit his hand on the table “We need to check it out, right away” he yelled out “Can’t have Sam running around. If Warren founds out, he’ll freak”
The three high school kids took off running up the hallway where they heard the voice come from.
Bobby finished running the length of the long hallway. He moved the short distance to the other side towards the hallway with the janitor’s closet and leaned against the wall and peaked around the corner. He could see the high school kids running to the top of the hallway where they heard him call out to Sam. He knew they where to focused on finding the source of the mysterious voice to bother looking over their shoulder and watch the janitor’s closet. He smiled; this gave him the moment needed to free his friends.
He slowly moved towards the door and gently moved the chair away, careful not to make any sound. The whole time he watched the high school kids at the top of the hallway as they franticly looked around. He wanted Warren’s gang distracted for as along as possible. After the chair was moved to the
side he opened the door.
Martin and Brad anxiously looked around at the top of the hallway. Quickly looking inside every room. Practically bumping into each other as they ran around searching.
“I can’t see Sam here.” Brad called out in a panic. His voice echoing the hall as the band music came from the auditorium.
“What’s going on here?” Cindy yelled out in frustration. “Were is he this guy who called out Sam’s name? We didn’t miss anybody”
Brad pulled open a door to the bathroom and ran inside. He yelled back to the others. “Check everywhere. They might’ve heard us coming and is hiding under something inside a room”
The others nodded and started looking into every room and under every possible object. Even the ones that were too small, they were disparate to find them.
Timmy was standing on the boxes looking out the window. Hoping to see anyone walking by when he heard the door open behind him.
They both turned to see who was coming in. Kyle ran over to the door as Timmy jumped down.
The door opened and Bobby stood with a smile. “Did someone ask for this door to be opened?” he said with a bit of a laugh.
“Alright” Bobby way to go, you did it” Kyle called out and gave him a high five.
“Lets not waste anymore time in this room” Bobby said.
“I like that idea” Timmy said quickly. He moved towards the door, followed by Kyle as they ran out into the hall.
Timmy looked over to Kyle “What
