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.
