“Well,what do you say if we quit early today and go to the gym to bug the lads a bit?”Lisa asked Zeba after a long day of work.Zeba smiled and stated”Yeah,that would be a great idea!”
The two finished their work on the costumes and then decided to leave.The gym where the boys were practising was not too far away from the ‘headquarters’ and the ride would only take about twenty minutes.Zeba and Lisa walked over to Lisa’s car,lost in a conversation about the lads.
“Well,tell me now.What exactly is going on between you and J?”Lisa asked.Almost everyone had noticed there was something going on between Zeba and J but none of them had asked them about it yet.
Zeba started to smile and stated”He’s just a great person.”
“And?”Lisa questioned with a grin.
“And he’s nice and sweet and let’s not forget goodlooking.”
“Aah,that’s more like it!Don’t worry,I won’t tell anyone.”Lisa exclaimed before both of them burst out laughing.Lisa just wanted to open the carddoor when suddenly a man appeared at her side and grabbed the keys out of hand.
“Hey,what’s that all about!?”Lisa yelled before she tried to grab the keys back from his hand but the guy was far too strong.He pushed Lisa back with some major power so she ended up falling to the ground.Zeba looked at the whole scene in shock and right at the moment she wanted to make her way over to Lisa to help her,two strong arms grabbed her by the waist and pulled her away.Zeba tried to scream for help but the person had put a hand to her mouth to prevent her from shouting.Before Zeba knew what was happening a cloth was put on her face and within seconds Zeba lost consciousness,the darkness swallowing all…
Lisa regained consciousness soon again,the last thing she was able to remember a huge blow on the head.She touched her cheek thoughtfully,shocked as she noticed the blood on her hand when she pulled away again.Only then she realized Zeba had been with her all the time and Lisa got up with great difficulties.As soon as the dizzy feeling had gone a bit she walked over to the other side of the car,counting on finding Zeba there but the only thing that was laying on the cold street was Zeba’s handbag.Lisa turned around in shock now,scanning the area around her,but she had to admit that Zeba had gone missing.Lisa picked the bag up from the ground and to her surprise she found her carkeys next to them,laying in pool of mud.Without thinking any further she grabbed the keys and jumped inside her car,speeding to the gym to find the lads…
“Alright lads,you can take a break for five minutes.”Paul announced.All five of them sighed happily,speeding off right away.
“Want a sigaret?”Sean asked J,who nodded in reply.The two mates went outside,lighting their smokes and staring in the distance.Soon they were joined by Abs,who sat down on the ground,sipping from a bottle of water and saying”I just don’t get how you can actually like smoking.”
“And I don’t get how you can’t like smoking.”J replied shrugging.Only at the moment a car sped towards the building,the driver stepping on the brakes just before ramming the wall.
“Can’t you watch out you idiot!?”Abs yelled but at that moment Lisa stumbled out of the vehicle,blood dripping down the side of her face.The three guys got up and rushed over to their designer,very shocked at the state Lisa was in.
“Lise,what’s happened?”Sean asked but she was crying in such a hysterical way she wasn’t able to tell them one word.
“Fine,let’s just get inside first then.”J replied while he and the other lads helped Lisa inside the gym…
After a glass of water and a chair to sit on were gotten for Lisa she finally had calmed down enough to tell the lads what had happened.Scott,Rich and Paul had also joined them after hearing what had happened from Abs.
“Come on now,what’s going on Lisa?”Rich asked impatiently.Lisa sighed deeply but then started telling them slowly.
“Me and Zeba quit early today,wanting to visit you here,but when we came outside a man attacked me.He pulled the carkeys out of my hands and gave a push so I fell to the ground.I must have hit my head cuz I lost consciousness for a little while and when I finally woke up again Zeba was gone.I don’t know what happened to her but the only thing I found was her handbag.She must have dropped it.But the strangest thing is that that man didn’t nick my keys,he left them on the ground,right next to Zeba’s bag.Oh God,I just hope nothing bad has happened to her.I would never forgive myself if…”
But Scott interupted her with”Let’s not think about that yet.We don’t know what’s happened to Zeba,perhaps she was able to flee and lost her bag like that.”
Sean looked over at J and noticed his extremely pale face and shocked look.
“Mate?”Sean questioned in a worried tone but to his surprise J whispered”They took her,Sean.”
Sean raised an eyebrow.”Who are they?That guy that tried to take her with him?”
“Yes.I’m sure about it.We…we need to call the police.”
Rich,who had heard every word of his bandmates’ conversation,turned towards J and asked”How do you know that guy wasn’t just a burglar,cuz that’s what he was if you ask me,an ordinary burglar who accidently picked Zeba.”
But J shook his head and replied”No Rich,you don’t understand.It wasn’t just a burglary.”
That comment draw the attention of the whole room and everyone stared at J.
J just sighed deeply,knowing that he could no longer keep Zeba’s secret if he ever wanted to see her again.He looked at the faces around him,some worried,some shocked and others utterly surprised.They all wanted to know what his comment meant and he decided to tell them right then and there.
“Zeba has been through some horrible stuff in her past,stuff I promised her not to tell to anyone.But since this is an emergency I don’t see any other option than telling you lot the truth.”And with that he began…
