"Trapped"
by
Laura

We were alone. We were afraid. The weird guy that had brought us here threw the key away. We would be stuck here for ages. We were doomed.

I was just wondering, why did Nicki have to shout to the guy, when he dropped his papers. All I wanted her to do was walk over to him and tell him polietly, insted of her shouting "OY YOU, YOU DROPPED YOUR PAPERS!" The reason he locked us in the steaming room was that Nicki had started reading his papers. She told him she'd ring the police.

The guy's papers were plans. with great bulging capital letters cryimg out the title "BANK PLAN". It was so obvious. I'd never be able to be as clumsy as to drop a bank robbery plan. Nicki shouted because it was a crime to rob a bank. The guy that locked us here was a criminal.

We got food every 10 hours. Nicki timed from when the guy opened a letter box kind of thing in the door and chucked some fast food through it to when another one came through. It ahd been days since we had been locked up. what would our Mum's say. I know we were 15 but our Mum's would still be concerend. Wouldn't yours?

I was relievd. I'm sure Nicki was as well. The police opened the door and rushed in.
"WHERE ARE THEY!" the police exclaimed. We told them the story when we got home to my house. Nicki and her Mum came round to discuss the mmatter. It had turned out that the guy that locked us up had a criminal record, and had attempted to rob the bank, just running away with a total of £1,365. We were the only witnesses of the crime and we were awareded for our co - operation. We managed to get onto tv. So did the criminals, but that was nothing for them to be pleased about. They had a life in jail ahead of them.

  

The End
