Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

The Call for Help

The cast's POV
They went back to the rental house. Rosa and Nathalie made tea for everyone. The others sat on the couch. They were either tapping their foot or resting their head on their hand.

Thomas was fidgeting with y/n's courage bracelet. Rosa sat down next to him, handing him a cup of tea. He accepted it and took a sip. Dexter put his hand on Thomas's shoulder.

"I'm sure she's okay." Dexter said.

"You don't know that." Thomas snapped.

"Thomas, it's okay. We're all worried about her too." Wes said.

"I know, but who would do such a thing?" Thomas asked.

Then, Thomas's phone started ringing. He immediately picked it up and stared at the screen.

"Who is it?" Kaya asked.

"It's my ex-girlfriend, Isabella." Thomas said.

It was in that moment that he realized something.

"You don't think..." Dexter said with his voice trailing off.

Everyone exchanged looks, then stared at Thomas.

"Oh no!" he exclaimed.

He hit the accept button and waited for the signal to connect.

"Don't make it too obvious that we think she did something to y/n." Will said.

"Okay." Thomas sighed.

Isabella appeared on his phone screen.

"Hi Tommy." she said.

"What is it? We're kinda busy right now." he said.

"I was calling to ask how Comic Con was." she said.

"Um...it was fun..." Thomas said, then Isabella cut him off.

"Until one of your friends went missing." she said.

Everyone froze.

"How do you know that?" Thomas asked.

Isabella flipped the camera and everyone saw y/n tied up and gagged in a chair!

Everyone gasped.

"Say hi. They're watching you." Isabella said to y/n.

She was trying to talk through the tape.

"Isabella, I swear to God if you hurt her!" Thomas said in a stern voice.

"I wouldn't be swearing to God if I were you. You're already in enough trouble as it is." Isabella said, putting a gun to y/n's neck.

She tensed up and moaned through the tape.

"Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's all up to you." Isabella said.

Thomas let out a long exhale and gave in.

"Alright, what do you want?" he asked.

Isabella moved the gun away from y/n's neck and she relaxed.

"That's more like it." Isabella said.

She flipped the camera back around and started to give Thomas instructions.

"Okay. Here's what you're gonna do if you guys want your little Kelsey back. You're gonna have one of your Maze Runner buddies put you in a sack and bring you to me. And, don't try to trick me." Isabella instructed.

"Okay, if I do that, then you'll let her go?" Thomas asked.

Isabella groaned, then said yes.

"Okay. Just give us an hour." Thomas said.

"Not a minute later. Understand?" she said sternly.

"Yes." Thomas said, sounding defeated.

"Alright, see you in an hour." she said all giggly and happy.

"Wait!" Thomas said.

"What?" Isabella said, sounding bratty.

"Can I speak to her? Just for a second." Thomas asked.

Isabella flipped the camera and y/n appeared on his screen.

"She's facing you. Say whatever." she said.

"Face-to-face." Thomas requested.

Isabella groaned, then flipped the camera again and turned her phone around.

"Don't give up y/n. We'll get you out. Just stay strong." Thomas said.

Isabella turned her phone back so that she was facing Thomas.

"Your second is up." Isabella said.

"Wait! Please don't hurt her." Thomas begged.

"No promises." Isabella said.

Then, the call ends.
