the room, closing the door on the way out.
Shannon looked around at the dismal room, hoping it wouldn’t be the last she ever saw. It was a tiny room, with wooden walls. She assumed it was a cabin of some sort, and probably didn’t have anyone else around either. She decided to wait it out and see what they wanted with her before trying anything she might regret later. Oddly enough, she decided she was going to listen to Megan. She couldn’t trust her, but kept remembering what she said in hopes of getting out of this situation unharmed. It seemed like hours, but in reality only minutes, that Dan had come into the room.
“So Shannon, first of all, I want to let you in on a little bit of history. When I first met you, I thought you were the one for me. When we split up I was crushed, and from that moment on thought about you every day. I could not get you out of my head. I couldn’t sleep, eat, or go about my normal life without memories of us emerging. The love for you transformed into hate when I realized you were gone forever. I couldn’t help but think of one thing, getting back at you for what you did to me. So, money was the first thing I could think of and knew you had plenty of it. Megan was the first person that offered to help when I told her what I had devised. She is my sister Shannon, and would do anything for me. We planned for her to fall in love with you, get you to feel the same way, and give her access to everything you had. If she wasn’t so weak, it would have worked!”
He paused briefly, shaking his head. He didn’t expect this moment to come. No plans for what he was going to say, or do, next.
“So Shannon, I know you can get to all of your parent’s money, and I need you to do so for me. I need you to do this for us, and then never mention anything to anyone. If you do so, everyone will go home safe and sound. If not, things are going to get ugly and then we will get what we want in the end regardless.”
He paused, giving Shannon a chance to say something. She didn’t know what to do. She wasn’t going to just give in to Dan, but didn’t want to get hurt either. She still didn’t know where Julie was, and assumed she was here as well. She couldn’t risk her best friend getting harmed either, not if she had the power to stop it.
“I’ll do whatever you want if you promise to let Julie and I go,” Shannon whispered, still feeling the effects of being drugged earlier.
Dan smiled, feeling accomplished. “Good answer Shannon, you won’t regret it. I know it’s late, so you are going to sleep here for tonight and we will get everything worked out so you can go home in the morning. Again, don’t try anything because Megan and I are right down the hall. Not only that, but there isn’t anyone around for miles and you don’t have a phone anymore!”
Shannon reached down and felt her pockets, but they were empty. Dan must have taken her phone when she was asleep, making sure she had no access to call anyone.
“If you promise that I will leave here safely, I will do what you need,” she said, already devising a plan to get away regardless of what she said.
“Good!” Dan said. Now sleep tight.
Just before he left the room Shannon asked him something else.
“Where is Julie?”
Dan smiled again, answering Shannon’s question without a second thought.
“She’s at her house, safe and sound.”
Shannon was confused. Julie was at home and hadn’t wondered what was going on? Why hadn’t she tried calling her, and if she had, why wasn’t she worried? At this point, she wouldn’t have really known since she had no phone but she still was really worried that Julie had no idea what was really happening. Megan must have lied to her so that she knew nothing at all. If Dan was telling the truth, Shannon was okay with it. It was for the best that she didn’t know what really was going on.
Dan closed the door and left Shannon sitting in the room,
