ESCAPE

*TWO MONTHS AGO*

Jim used the rest of his strength to climb up the ladder.

Wheezing and grunts echoed around the room.

"Alex, Al, buddy come on grab my hand." Hopper said as he gripped onto Alex's weak frail body

"Hey Al don't die on me. Max and El need you. I need you" Hopper told him shaking him to stay awake

"I... I miss Max... I- I wanna... g-go home" he responded wheezing and coughing.

"We're- we're gonna go home soon buddy don't worry. Then we can watch movies and eat snacks. Everything's gonna be fine"

This yet brought no comfort to alex at all. He was tired, tired of life, he hated how everyone always said it would get better, it never did. He wanted this all to stop. He wanted to shut his eyes, To for once feel free. but he knew he couldn't because he would leave too much behind

Suddenly several footsteps approaches them.
It was three soldiers in green armour. Turns out not all of them had died

"Where do you think your going" the Russian spoke a little smirk on his face as he bent down

Then with a big swing jabbed Hopper in the face knocking him out.

The both were slowly being dragged away and Alex could do nothing to stop it. Everything hurt.

"Please. Please Dad wake up... don't leave me... here Al-alone" Alex whimpered

-

They were taken into separate rooms and hopper had been tied up by his hands to the ceiling

"Tell me who you work with"

"I told you, no one" Hopper responded

Silence filled the air for a moment and they went again for another punch right into his stomach.

The other guard watching all of this go down came and whispered into the generals ear

"Maybe a little persuasion will way you over" The Russian guard said smiling up at hopper wickedly

They dragged Hopper to another room and inside was Alex with a mask over his face

"You tell us what you know or we can all watch your son die a slow and painful death when we suffocated him. Your choice"

The fear was now evident in Hoppers face as Alex weakly turned his head from left to right trying to figure out his surroundings.

"I see you've made your choice..."

                                           -

Murray, Murray we need to make this call" Joyce stressed

"One moment please." He said as he changed the location of their call

"Annddd. Voila. This is so they can't track us that easily though they will eventually so keep it brief" Murray explained

"How brief?" Ice questioned

"One minute max and.." Murray began

"A proof of life. got it" Joyce said completing the sentence

Joyce rang the phone and a few seconds later the man picked up

"This is Enzo"

"Hello, Enzo. This is Joyce, i received your message and I would like to make a reservation" she spoke trying to keep it as simple as possible
