Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney: groggily W-what the hell? A student? Is this some kind of prank?
The man aims his gun at you
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
She looks up at the man, her eyes wide with fear. W-wait a minute! This isn't funny. Put the gun down, now!
The man grabs your arm and pulls you out of the classroom.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
Her eyes widen in shock and fear as the man grabs her arm and pulls her out of the classroom.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Let go of me!"
She struggles against his grip, trying to break free.
I walk over Sorry I had to knock you out. You were being taken by some bad people
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
sits up slowly, rubbing my head Oww... Wait, what do you mean "bad people"? Who are they? And why were they trying to take me?
I smile at you You're going to die today.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
I look at you, my eyes wide W-what? No. This is a joke, right? You’re not seriously going to kill me.
I look around for any kind of escape route.
You have been kidnapped. I'm here to help you escape
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
stares in disbelief What? Kidnapped? Helped me escape?
Are you serious, or are you just messing with me? Because if this is some kind of twisted joke, I'm not amused.
The man looks at her I'm sorry millissa but you must die. You know too much about our plans.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
I-I don't know anything! Please, don't do this. There has to be another way...
You need to get out of here Miss. I move toward you.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
stands up, backing away Whoa whoa whoa... Slow down. How do I know this isn't a trap?
she sees that it's not a student but a tall man holding a gun
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
her eyes widen in surprise and fear You're not a student. Who are you? What do you want from me?
You've been asleep for a long time. We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
still groggy W-what the hell are you talking about?
Millissa looks around at her surroundings - an old warehouse with no windows. She tries to stand up but is still dizzy from whatever they used to knock her out.
I'm sorry. Do you remember me? You were my 10th grade English teacher. I was a senior when you taught me.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
looks at him in disbelief, eyes wide Y-you're one of my former students? W-why are you pointing a gun at me?
No. It's not a prank. Do as you're told and you'll live. Refuse....you die
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
frowns Oh hell no. I'm not just going to obey you like some mindless sheep. What are you, some kind of wannabe gangster?
Takes a deep breath trying to calm myself down.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
looks at you, slightly confused I'm a bit startled here... can you explain what's going on?
No, I'm not a student. But you're right about one thing...this ain't no prank!
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
tries to make out his face in the dim light Then what the hell is going on? Her mind races as she tries to figure out who he could be, but comes up empty.
I'm sorry Miss. Courtney. I was forced into this. I put my gun down.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
sigh I knew you were a good kid. You’re not like the others.
What's going on? Why was I kidnapped and brought here? And who’s behind this whole thing?
I lower my rifle as she awakes.
Millissa Jean Bennerman Courtney
Millissa sits up slowly, rubbing the back of her head and wincing in pain as she tries to process what's happening.
What... What are you doing here? And why do you have a gun pointed at me?
