Pearl made it a couple feet before she was tackled again. Her kidnapper turned her around to face him. He punched her in the face. Pearl screamed in pain. He punched her again, this time in the stomach. Pearl screamed again. He kept punching her. Pearl tried to fight back, but it wasn't working. Her kidnapper kept hitting her, she felt the bruises and the blood that flowed from her mouth. Suddenly a new voice was heard.
"What's going on here?" Pearl's kidnapper moved to see from whom the voice came from. Pearl also got a look. It was a cop. Thank goodness, Pearl thought.
"Oh nothing," the kidnapper said.
"It looks like something," the police officer said. "Miss are you ok?"
"No! He kidnapped me, and now he's beating me up!"
"Shut up," Pearl's kidnapper hissed.
"Sir, would you come with me? And ma'am let's get you home."
The doorbell rang in the Edwards' house. Alan, Tana, and Fred were still there, waiting for another call from Pearl or her kidnapper. Mrs. Edwards headed for the door, she and her husband were trying to get together the money. She opened the door and screamed. Everyone rushed to the door. There stood Pearl with a police man, and a man in handcuffs. Pearl was surrounded with hugs in seconds. Her mother and father smothered her in kisses. Tana and Fred caught her in the middle of a hug sandwich. Alan also gave Pearl a big hug.
"Pearl, you're home, thank goodness!" Mrs. Edwards said.
"Yes, this man is her kidnapper. " The cop said.
"You_" Mr. Edwards issued a string of profanities, but the kidnapper only rolled his eyes.
"Come on, time to take you downtown," the cop said taking the kidnapper said, taking the kidnapper by the arm and pulling him to the cop car. Pearl went inside and told about her adventure, glad to be home.

Kidnapped Part 5
"Alan?" Pearl said gripping the pay phone.
"Pearl! I'm here_" his voice was cut off and her mother's voice was heard.
"Pearl, honey, are you there?"
"Mom? Is that you?" Pearl looked over her shoulder, her kidnapper had an evil smile.
"Yes, honey are you alright, are you ok? Are you warm enough?"
"Yes mom," Pearl said, not able to keep from rolling her eyes.
"Good, is your kidnapper treating you well?" Came her dad's voice.
"Well enough"
"Listen, we're getting the ten thousand, tell him we're getting it," Pearl sighed with relief,she was going to be free! Pearl turned around and told him.
"Good, hang up."
"I have to go," she said.
"Wait honey," said her mom. "I love you, and we're coming for you, don't_" the phone was ripped from Pearl's hands, cutting her mother off mid-sentence, but Pearl had heard enough. Ever since she had refused to go to law school, following her mother's footsteps, her mother hadn't said "I Love You". She had to try and escape.
"Get in the car."
"uh.. I have to go to the bathroom," Pearl said pointing to the convenience store behind them.
"Make it quick," Her kidnapper said rolling his eyes. He followed her into the store and roamed the shelfs. Pearl went into the bathroom and locked the door. Just as she had hoped it had a small window. She climbed on top of the toilet, and tried to open the window. It didn't work. She opened her purse that her kidnapper had let her keep. In it was her small pocket-knife. Since she was an only child when she was younger her father took her camping, fishing, and all kinds of father-son activities including getting her her own pocket-knife. She picked one of the knives and worked away at the window.
Soon the window came away, and Pearl put it on the floor, quietly. She then hoisted herself unto the window ledge. She then shimmied her way out the window. She made it with a few scratches and bruises. She dropped down onto the ground. She then ran, ran down the road hoping to meet someone, anyone. She had run for a while, when she was tackled.
"Thought you could run away from me," her kidnapper said. Pinning her arms behind her. Pearl screamed. "No one can hear you," he laughed. Pearl kicked, screamed, yelled, and tried to bite him. Her kidnapper hauled her to her feet. Pearl kicked her foot back, hitting him where it hurts. He groaned and the tension loosened on her arms. Pearl turned around and punched him, and ran.

Kidnapped Part 4
The three friends traveled until 10:00 A.M. to reach Pearl's parents' house. It was very big, for the Edwards were rich people. They walked up the walkway and nervously rang the doorbell. The door was soon opened by a woman with graying hair and brown eyes behind black glasses.
"Hello? How May I help you?"
"Hello Mrs. Edwards," Tana said. "Remember me, Tana, Pearl's friend?"
"Oh yes how nice to see you again," Mrs. Edwards said, but looked as if it was anything but.
"This is Alan and Fred, other friends of Pearl."
"Oh, nice to meet you too, would you like to come in?"
"Yes, we uh... have some bad news."
"Pearl's been kidnapped?"
"Yes," Alan said. "Last night, the police tried calling you, but couldn't reach you."
"Honey, I'm home," came a man's voice from the front door. Soon a man with gray hair and the same blue eyes as Pearl. "Oh I didn't know you had visitors."
"Paul, sit down," Mrs. Edwards said, and her husband complied. "Paul, Pearl's been kidnapped."
"What? By who? Why?"
"The police haven't found out who, but the kidnapper called and said he kidnapped her because he knew you were rich. He wants ten thousand dollars in three days."
"What?! Who does that man think he is? That..." Paul started issuing a string of profanities, swearing at the kidnapper, where ever he was.
"We have to do what he says. Even though Pearl disappointed us with not going to law school, and hasn't talked to us much after that, she's still our daughter," Mrs. Edwards said.
"Well of course," Mr. Edwards agreed. Just then Alan's cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Alan?"
"It's Pearl."
"Hello? How May I help you?"
"Hello Mrs. Edwards," Tana said. "Remember me, Tana, Pearl's friend?"
"Oh yes how nice to see you again," Mrs. Edwards said, but looked as if it was anything but.
"This is Alan and Fred, other friends of Pearl."

Kidnapped Part 3
"Alan?" Pearl said into the phone, gripping it as if she was gripping him.
"Pearl, where are you? Are you ok? What happened?" Alan asked, Pearl could hear the worry in his voice. She looked at her masked captor. Who held up the gun to her face and nodded. Pearl started to say exactly as he had told her to say, she knew what the consequences would be if she didn't.
"Alan, I've been kidnapped. I'm safe, but he wants ten thousand dollars for my return."
"Ten thousand?!!!!" Alan shouted. Suddenly another voice came over the phone.
"Miss Edwards, my name is Officer Griffin. Where are you?"
"I can't say," Pearl said looking at the gun nervously. "Put Alan back on," after a moment she heard Alan's voice again.
"Pearl? Ten thousand dollars? Where does he think we'll get that money? Put him on the phone." Pearl held out the phone for him, and he took it keeping the gun on her. He put the phone on speaker.
"Hello?" he said.
"Why Pearl?" Alan asked simply.
"Her family has money, I know that,"
"She doesn't talk to them anymore,"
"Well that's not my problem. If you don't come up with the money by this time Monday, you'll never see Pearl again," he ended the call, and threw the phone outside of the van. He gagged Pearl again, got in the front seat and drove off.
Alan stared at phone in his hand. The call ended so suddenly, he never got to speak to Pearl again.
"What happened? What did he say?" Fred asked coming up along with Tana.
"We have three days to come up with ten thousand dollars," Alan said simply, putting the phone in his pocket.
"Ten thousand dollars in three days????!!!!" Tana exclaimed. "How are we going to do that?"
"We have to go to her parents."
"Oh great," Fred sighed.

Kidnapped Part 2
Alan waited for the doorbell, Tana and Fred laughed at his tension.
"Don't worry," they said. "She's only a bit late, she'll come she hasn't missed one yet." Yet as they finished the first movie and put in the second, they started to worry.
"Did you call her cell phone?" Tana asked Alan.
"Only five times, left messages, and called her house five times also," Alan replied.
"Shouldn't we call the police?" Fred asked.
"They won't do anything," said Alan.
"Where was she when she last called?" Fred asked.
"The parking lot of the care center," the care center was where she worked.
"Well let's go there, maybe she had car trouble or something," Fred suggested. They piled into the car and drove off to the care center. They arrived there in a half hour. They found her car there, locked, and she was nowhere in sight. That's when they called the police.
The police arrived at the scene within minutes, responding to the 911 call they received. Officer Griffin approached the group of three clustered together by the car.
"Now what exaltedly happened here?" he asked. One man, a man with brown hair to just below his ears, blue eyes, and wearing a black t-shirt and jeans came up to him immediately.
"Hey," Officer Griffin said. "What's the problem here."
"My... friend Pearl Edwards, was supposed to meet at his house," he said pointing to a black-haired man comforting a red-headed girl both wearing a t-shirt and jeans. "She called me at around 7:00, saying she was to be there soon. She hung up. It's only a half hour to Fred's house (the man over there). Yet she never showed up, I called her many times but she never picked up. After two hours we investigated. We came here and her car was here but she wasn't."
The officer nodded.
"Any idea where she could possibly be?"
"No, she would have called, she knows we would worry," Just then his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID.
"It's Pearl," he told everyone.

Kidnapped Part 1
Pearl walked to her car, while talking on her cell phone to her friend Alan.
"Ok, ok I'll be there soon, start popping that popcorn," She said before hanging up. Every Friday night Alan, Tana and Fred (other very good friends), and Pearl would have a movie marathon. They had done so since middle school. Pearl fumbled inside her purse for her car keys, she had just found them when something was stuck into her back.
"Don't move, don't speak," a gruff voice said. "I have a gun and I will shoot. Now will you cooperate?" Pearl nodded and he continued speaking. "Ok now walk forward slowly and don't try anything stupid." Pearl does so and soon reaches a white unmarked van. "Get in," the man said. Pearl fearfully obeyed. Once in the man followed. He tied her up and gagged her, and that was the last thing she remembered.
