   Me and Amy,Kendra's big sister,were out in her backyard practising our cheer and gymnastics while her parent's were out on a date.I heard a car pull up and then drive away."That was weird."I said.Amy nodded and we continued to practice."I'll be back I have to go check on Kendra and make sure she's still napping."Amy said running inside.Not fifteen minutes after Amy had left the yard she ran back out."Kendra's not in her crib!"she said."What do you mean?"I asked."Kendra isn't in her crib or her room!"Amy dashed back inside with me at her heel's.I checked her toy box,closet,under her crib,and in her bathroom."She wasn't anywhere I checked!"Amy and I shrieked at the same time.We both ran to her parent's room and looked around the room."The safe!check the gun safe!she could be in there!but what if her air supplies is little to nothing by now!there's no telling when she disappeared!"Amy panicked."It's going to be OK!we will probably go downstairs and she'll be on the couch with her stuffed cat!"I assured her.I opened the safe and each gun was gone."Oh!!"Amy shrieked.Then I froze,"The car that we heard pull up!"I said."What about it?That won't help us find Kendra!"Amy shouted."What if the people in the vehicle took Kendra?"I asked.Amy thought about it then said,"They could be out of the state by now!what if they 
  k-"she stopped at the thought and sat down on her parent's bed.The pulled up her knee's,stuck her head between her knee's,fell over,and shook sobbing onto the bed.I pulled her up and pulled her downstairs...Kendra wasn't there."We should just call the police and have them call my mom and dad."Amy said picking up the phone."NO!!!!!!!!!"I shrieked."Let's just put the phone down and everything will be OK!"I said.At that time a car pulled up and the door bust open.Two men ran in,one with a gun and one holding a sleeping Kendra clutching her stuffed cat named Sweetie."Kendra!"Amy yelled stepping forward.The guy holding Kendra pulled out a knife putting it to Kendra's throat."Anybody moves the kid gets it!Now go get in the car!"the man with the gun said.He made a note to leave for Kendra's parents saying: 
  We've got your kid's and the other one too!We will send video's every day for a week and ask for a ransom in the last video!DO NOT call the police or the kids DIE! 
  He put Kendra in first then shut the door the guy with the gun with her."I'm going to check you girls for cellphones,knifes,guns,bullets,and money!"the first guy said.He checked Amy first taking her cellphone and money before stuffing her in the van."If you try running I get in the car and drive away with your friend and her little sister...then I kill them!"he said.Then he checked me and took my phone and money.I got in the van and sat Kendra up.Amy buckled her in and then we buckled ourselves up."How much did ya get from the munchkins Henry?"the second guy asked."I got two cellphones and about twelve dollars and eighty cents."Henry said."That will help us in the long run."the second guy said."Maybe!if we're lucky and get our ransom Smokey!"Henry said.I took a piece of paper out of my pocket and a pen and scribbled down 'Smokey and Henry' so I could remember the names of our kidnappers.It was about 11:56 p.m before we reached an old moss cabin deep in the woods.They laid down on the floor to sleep.The next morning Amy and I sat up and looked around...Kendra wasn't where she had went to sleep last night and neither were Smokey and Henry!We ran outside and saw Henry and Smokey with Kendra in Henry's arms crying."Let her down!Please don't hurt her put her down!!!she's scared!you're scaring her!!!please!!!!"Amy screamed."Amy!calm down she's probably just hungry!!besides she has Tubby!she's fine."I said."I'm sorry Kayleena but your sister isn't in the arm's of a stranger!"Amy said.Henry put Kendra down and Kendra ran to Amy."Amy!!!Kendra hungey!!"Kendra said in that baby voice."Run to the grocery store!Bring back milk,chips,marshmallows,cheese,bread,peanuts,peanut butter,butter,coffee,jelly,juice,apples,fruitcups,carrots,and a microwave!here's three hundred bucks for you to spend on it all!"Henry told me and Amy.'This is our chance to escape!'I thought.I got in the drivers seat as Amy buckled Kendra into the back.As Amy climbed in the passengers seat and closed the door I locked the doors."We need to pickup a car seat before we come back."Amy said."We're not coming back."I said."What do you mean?"Amy asked."We're going to escape!I've drove before but we need to stop and get gas."I said.I put the van into reverse and pulled down the gravel road and onto the main road."First stop gas station."I said.I pulled up to the gas pump and filled it up."OK next stop dollar store for bathroom and snacks."I said.I pulled across the street and ran inside while Amy stayed with Kendra.I grabbed some diapers,juice,crackers,chips,candy,and sodas for the long ride."Thank you!"I said running back to the car."Kendra want chocolate!"Kendra said.I slipped the paper off the chocolate bar and gave it to Kendra."Here's the bag."I said giving it to Amy.I pulled away from the convenient store...but the opposite way from the cabin."What all is in the glove box?"I asked Amy.Amy opened it and pulled out a gun."Oh my goodness!"she said.I said,"YES!!!!!Keep K-e-n-d-r-a from seeing that."I said."Why is this g-u-n being here good?"I asked."Cause they have no weapon or vehicle!We do!we're just missing our cell phones...but that's fine."I said.I continued driving till we were back to Rockport."Kendra!Wake up honey we're almost home."Amy said happily.I pulled into Amy's driveway."YES!!!!!"we all cheered.Everybody ran outside and we all celebrated our returning.
