The Ransom (MM/F)

Mark
Mark was an 19 year old college freshman studying music and history at his local community college. He has thick brown hair and wore semi-framed glasses. He was very thin and was about 5’11â€.
One saturday morning in December, Mark slipped on his typical black skinny Jeans and plain white t shirt. Next he put on a gray winter scarf, and put a thick blue windbreaker jacket on over it.
He was going to study and hang out with some friends he met when he first arrived, but he also thought if he ran into the pretty girl from some of his classes he began to crush on he would have the guts to actually talk to her.
He got in his car and drove to his friends dorms, while he was walking to the dorm complex he slipped on ice, falling backwards snacking his head on the pavement.
He woke up 5 minutes later, and he could make out a face looking down at him, when his vision cleared up, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Her.
“Oh my gosh are you okay?!â€
She was a small girl, only about 5’8â€, and as thin as mark was. She had brown hair with bangs in a ponytail. She had a green coat on as well as skinny Jeans and Ugg boots.
“um. Yea. Thanksâ€
“let me help you upâ€
She helped him to his feet.
He thanked her, and they went their separate ways. He swore at himself for not asking her name.
He finally made it to the dorm room and enjoyed the day with friends.
That night, he got in his car to go back to his dorm. He was the only person in the lot at the time. Or that's what he thought.
He felt something cold and metal press against the back of his neck. A man was putting a gun though the opening between the seat and the headrest from behind.
“don't moveâ€
Mark's heart nearly kept out of his chest.
“I don't have any moneyâ€
He was a college student after all.
“I'm not after YOUR moneyâ€
“Wh-what do you want thenâ€
Suddenly a black ski mask was thrown on the console.
“put it on, then you can turn aroundâ€
Mark did, and saw a man about the same size but alot more muscular in a ski mask and black clothing.
“the girl you have the hots for, you are going to help me kidnap her and hold her for ransom. If you cooperate. I might even give you 10%!â€
He laughed at this. Mark didn't find it very funny at all.
“and if I dont help you?â€
“I'll just do it myself, kill anyone who gets in my way. And let's just say her fate will be alot worse.â€
Mark sighed in defeat, and put the ski mask on. Which was uncomfortable because he had glasses.
“How did you get past campus securityâ€
“I go here dummyâ€
Guess that explains the need for money.
“how do we find her?†Mark asked.
“she's in dorm 120. Her roomie is gone for the weekend, so shes alone. It's on the first floor so we can sneak through the window. It's not covered by security cameras either.â€
Mark then realized this guy meant business. This was a calculated operation.
“Driveâ€
Mark did so and they even totally parked right next to the girls dorm.
The man used one of his tools to take the whole window out, laying it behind the bushes.
The man entered first, Mark followed. He saw her sleeping on the bottom bunk, laying on her back.
“that makes things easy for you.†the man said, throwing Mark some brown packing tape he found in a cabinet.
“I'll point my gun at her, you wake her up, shut her up, and tape her up.â€
Mark hated this thought. He always imagined rescuing her, not being the one to kidnap her in the first place!
The man went to the side of the bed opposite of Mark. “I can see why you like her†he retorted.
He then pointed the gun the her, and Mark clamped his hand tightly over her mouth, causing her to stir.
She eventually opened her eyes. Her eyes went wide with fear and she began to struggle under Mark's weight (he got onto her over the bedspread to pin her down.) She stopped struggling once she saw the other man with a gun. She fearfully looked at Mark, then the man, then Mark again. She was breathing rapidly through her nose, and mark could feel it on his hand.
Mark decides to take control of the situation.
“Shhh. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. Okay?â€
The girl nodded, whimpering a bit. He could tell she was shaking, of course, So was he. This was his first time kidnapping anybody.
“where is your phoneâ€
She motion with her eyes at the desk, and the man snatched it up.
“no password? lucky me!â€
Mark then reached down and picked an ankle high sock off of the floor. He removed his hand from her mouth and swiftly inserted the sock. Out of fear she offered little resistance.
He then tore off a strip of tape and put it over her mouth. Applying a second one for good measure.
He then pulled off the scarf he was wearing and used it to blindfold her.
“good thinking†the man said.
“it's better than tape, I don't want to hurt herâ€
Mark was trying his best to calm down their captive, who was whimpering and shaking a bit.
Mark helped her out of bed, helped her put on her coat, pants, socks, and boots.
He then gently pulled her hands behind her back and taped them tight, but not too tight.
Mark grabbed her arms and walked her to the window. “you're driving†said Mark, throwing the keys to the man. “I will stay in the back with herâ€
Mark then lifted her through the window, which took great effort, and followed immediately behind. He opened the back door and helped her in. He buckled her. Then himself. The man came in eventually, snapped a picture of the girl. And began to make the ransom message. After hitting send, he pocketed the phone and drove off.
“where are we going†Mark asked.
“just to hide somewhere, he said, now driving down a two track in the middle of nowhere. Eventually the came to a Clearing, they were on top a large steep hill, and could actually see campus from where they were.
“nice view I suppose†Mark said. “do you get a signal?â€
The man checked, then nodded.
“we have everything we need for a couple of days†the man said. “I put it all in your trunk, do you always keep your car unlocked?â€
“yeaâ€
“that's not safeâ€
The man laughed. Mark chuckled at the irony.
Mark then turned to see the girl crying.
She was whimpering into her gag and tears were flowing from underneath her blindfold.
“hey†Mark began. Putting his arm around her.
“don't be scared, okay? I won't hurt you and I won’t let him hurt youâ€.
She nodded.
Mark slowly took the tape off. And pulled out her sock. This made her relax a little. But her cries were more audible.
“Shhhh†“what's your name?â€
“J-jennifer†she choked.
“I like that name, are you thirsty Jennifer?â€
She shook her head yes and Mark let her drink from a water bottle he had, putting it up to her lips.
“Thank youâ€
They sat in silence, not knowing what to do next.
“What are you going to do with meâ€
The man spoke up. “just hold you until your parents fork up the 100k!â€
Just then, Mark felt a sharp pain in the back of his head from where he fell earlier. He winced, and rubbed the back of his head.
