I woke up in... a small, dark room, there was only one door... and it was locked. "Oh MY GOD!!! We've been captured. We're hostages!!!" I was yelling and screaming and panicking. This was always the kinda thing that happened to other people... then you realized you are other people to other people. My breathing became heavier, and heavier. It was getting hard to breath. The walls were closing in! "HELPPPPP!!!"
"Brian..." a voice said, but it wasn't just a voice. It was Kate's. "Brian?"
"Kate?" just hearing her made me calm down.
"Brian, stop. You need to calm down."
"But... but"
"It looks like we are hostages. We aren't dead. You need to stop."
"But... but... how are you staying calm?"
"Because you're here." There was silence.
"I'm going to die." I said.
"Why do you think that."
"Because I'm useless! You're the presidents daughter! They'll want you! I'm just your butler."
"Brian..."
"You know it's true." I heard her shift closer in the darkness. I still couldn't see a thing.
"Brian?"
"Yeah?" then I felt her lips on mine. We were kissing. Then I was blinded. There was a click, and light flooded the place. The door opened.
"What an adorable display of affection."
"You." she said.
"You?" I said.
"What?!You?! Nooooooooooo!!! that's what I wanted to hear. But I guess 'You' is fine." It was the spy leader. The crazy man, he had betrayed everyone. He said the words faster than I could hear them. "And guess what, hot lips? That insult was for you to share, by the way."
I put my hand in my pocket and turned on my recorder. It was part of the spy package. Thankfully the crazy dude didn't notice. "So guess what, kiddies. You're in the rebel base. YAYYYYY!!! I'm, as you might have guessed, the rebel leader! That means I launched the nukes, I ordered the suicide bomb (I didn't do it personally, or else I wouldn't be here.), and I took you hostage. I also really like explosions... like Michael Bay!!! Me and him are almost brothers! Anyway you're hostages until your father..." He nodded at Kate "...meets my demands!"
There was silence while our brains caught up. Then Kate said:
"And those would be?"
"For his country to become part of America again! DUH!!!" He turned around and walked out. Then he said: "P.S. honey! Your boyfriends a spy!"
"What!!!" he walked back in. My face was turning red, and Kate looked halfway to tears
"It's true. You see it's quite simple. I found the spy leader, killed him, dumped his body on the Brick House doorstep, and took his place! I've been playing both sides, like a lonely person plays chess with himself!" Then he walked out.
"Kate..." SMACK!!! I was on the floor. My cheek stung. She slapped me.
"Get out of my life!!!"
The rest of our time there was spent not talking to each other. She hated me, she really hated me. One second we were in love. The next... she hated me.
I don't know how long we were in there, but one day we heard gunshots outside. CRASHHH!!! The door was broken down and troopers came in. Then we were brought outside. Now we were free.
