IC-Captive Hearts(Sally/Azadeh/Captives)

[Mr. Handy]

10:03 AM
In the cell block-
"I Mei Ling," said the Chinese woman with a slight bow. "I pick lock on door."

"Azadeh Samimi," said Azadeh, still struggling with the lock.

"I'm Sally," said the nurse. "We have to free the rest of the girls and get out of here, fast."

Mei Ling nodded. "I help," she said. She went past Lara's empty cell to the next one, which held Katarina, and started working on the lock.

[Mr. Handy]

10:04 AM
In the cell block-
The locks continued to prove stubborn.

"Come on, come on," whispered Sally, still on lookout. "Someone will come back sooner or later."

[Mr. Handy]

10:05 AM
In the cell block-
Azadeh still couldn't trip the lock, but Mei Ling managed to pick the one on which she was working. The door swung open, revealing the most gorgeous redhead imaginable, also wearing very little. She was small and thin, sitting huddled on a stained mattress.

"Katarina, we escape," said Mei Ling to her.

Katarina stumbled to her feet and cautiously emerged from her cell. Just then, a woman's ear-piercing scream came from the direction of the guard room. This was followed by another woman crying: "Zoe! ZOE!"

"We help Lara and Zoe?" asked Katarina.

"No, too dangerous," said Azadeh. "We have to get out of here."

[Mr. Handy]

10:06 AM
In the cell block-
Katarina gave a sad nod. "Poor Lara," she said. Mei Ling moved on to the locked door next to the cell she had just opened and got to work on it.

Meanwhile, Azadeh finally got her door open, revealing a beautiful Latina who scrambled out of her cell the first chance she got. "Alicia," she said.

"Nyet!" cried Lara in the distance. "Zoe, tell him what he wants to know!"

[Mr. Handy]

10:07 AM
In the cell block-
"Here, let me do it," said Azadeh, gesturing for Mei Ling to step aside. She picked the lock of the last remaining cell and opened the door to reveal another Latina, who ran out of the cell and hugged Alicia.

"Zoe, tell him, please!" begged Lara in the distance. "I'm not as strong as you!"

"Okay, stop!" cried Zoe. "I'll talk! Just don't hurt her!"

"He's done torturing them," whispered Azadeh. "We have to go now and be quiet about it, or we'll get caught. Follow me, but close all the cell doors first. With luck, it'll be a while before they realize we're gone."

[Mr. Handy]

10:08 AM
In the cell block-
The women closed all of the cell doors and crept into the guard room as quietly as they could.

In the guard room-
Sally and Alicia were very silent, but the other women made more noise. Zoe's screams came from within the movie studio. They were in the middle of the guard room, on their way to the door leading back to the surface, when the movie studio door flew open. Hitch stepped out, one arm around Zoe and the other holding a pistol to her. "That's far enough, girls," he said.

[Mr. Handy]

10:09 AM
In the cell block-
"Run!" said Zoe. "I'd rather die!"

"I've got lots of bullets," said Hitch. "Zoe would be the first to die, but not the only one. Now get back to your cells, before I get angry."

Sally hung her head and began to cry. They had been so close to escaping. Azadeh took her hand and led her back to the cell block, followed by the other captives. "There's nothing we can do now," she whispered to Sally. "Later we may have another chance."

In the cell block-
The six women entered the cell block, followed by Hitch holding Zoe at gunpoint. "Get back in your cells," he said, "and put your mattresses out into the hall. You have Zoe to thank for that."

[Mr. Handy]

10:10 AM
In the cell block-
The women went back into their cells, and they dumped their mattresses out into the hall. Hitch looked back and saw Lara sneaking through the guard room toward the exit door. "Stop right there, Lara!" he called, pointing his pistol at Zoe, who was still in his grasp.

"Lara, RUN!!!" screamed Zoe.

Lara fled through the other door, slamming it behind her.

"Get in!" snarled Hitch, shoving Zoe into her cell. "Toss out your mattress!"

Zoe shoved her mattress out of the cell as slowly as she dared. Anything to give Lara more of a headstart. When she finally finished, Hitch slammed and locked her cell door. Then he locked all of the others except for Lara's empty cell.

[Mr. Handy]

10:11 AM
In the cell block-
"I'm coming to get you, Lara!" roared Hitch as he rushed into the guard room.

"Can you pick the lock again, Azadeh?" asked Sally once he was gone.

"I'm sorry, Sally," replied Azadeh. "I used a piece of mattress spring to do it, and the mattresses are gone now."

"It's my fault," mumbled Zoe. "I told Hitch how I got out, which was the same way. I had to. He was hurting Lara."

"Oh, it's no use!" sobbed Sally, slumping down against the wall. "We're trapped here forever! They're going to rape us over and over, until they get tired of us and put us out of our misery! Why?!" She looked up in despair, and then she saw the ventilation grille in the ceiling. "Hey! There is another way out! Those vents! If we can climb up there and get them open, we can escape. We'll have to walk ourselves up the wall, bracing ourselves across the cells' width. We have to hurry, before someone comes back."

Word was passed from cell to cell, and all of the women tried to make it up to the high ceiling and the ventilation shaft above. Zoe, Alicia, Katarina, and Mei Ling all managed it.

[Mr. Handy]

10:12 AM
In the cell block-
Raquel made it to the top of her cell when she tried again, but Sally and Azadeh remained stuck on the ground. Zoe and Mei Ling managed to force open their gratings, which dangled down into their cells, but Alicia and Katarina couldn't get theirs open yet.

[Mr. Handy]

10:13 AM
In the cell block-
Sally finally made it to the ceiling, but Azadeh still had no luck. Alicia, Raquel, and Katarina all forced their grates open. Zoe tried to squeeze through, but the shaft was just too small for her. Mei Ling was smaller and managed to slip inside the shaft, crawling above the ceiling to an intersection with a central shaft. More side shafts branched out, leading to the grates above each cell. Another grate in the center allowed access to the hallway below. "I did it!" said Mei Ling.

"Mei Ling, help!" said Zoe. "I'm stuck!"

[Mr. Handy]

10:14 AM
In the cell block-
Azadeh finally managed to walk herself up to the ceiling, while Sally easily forced open the grating in her cell with her knee while keeping her position on the wall. Alicia, Raquel, and even lithe Katarina had problems fitting in the narrow shaft, but they all were able to wriggle inside. Mei Ling tried to pull Zoe free, but without success, and Zoe couldn't dislodge herself either.

[Mr. Handy]

10:15 AM
In the cell block-
"I'll get her out, Mei Ling," said Alicia. The lifeguard had pulled drowning people out of the sea, so she was sure she could manage.

Mei Ling made her way back to the central shaft and forced open the grating above the hallway there. It was much easier to open from above. Then she dangled down through the opening and released herself, landing safely on the mattress conveniently below it in the hallway. Sally managed to squeeze into the shaft without difficulty, while Alicia was able to pull Zoe through the narrow tunnel.

Azadeh muttered a curse in Farsi as she failed to open the grate in the ceiling of her cell, but at least she managed not to slip and fall down to the floor. "Hang on, I can pick lock," said Mei Ling from outside.

[Mr. Handy]

10:16 AM
In the cell block-
Mei Ling broke off the end of a spring from the ragged mattress and went to work on the lock of Azadeh's cell, but she couldn't pick it. Sally lowered herself through the hole in the ceiling and let go, landing on the mattress below. In her cell, Azadeh finally managed to force open her grating. "Got it!" she said. "Get out of here, I can make it now."

[Mr. Handy]

10:17 AM
In the cell block-
Sally lowered herself through the opening and landed safely on the mattress while Mei Ling proceeded into the guard room. Alicia, who was about to climb through the hole next, suddenly stopped. "I hear elevator!" she hissed. "They come back! We stay up here!"

Azadeh climbed through the grating in her cell's ceiling and easily squeezed into the shaft.

[Mr. Handy]

10:18 AM
In the cell block-
Alicia quietly pulled the grating back up before the sound of the elevator stopped, trembling with her pulse racing as she waited in silence. Zoe, Azadeh, Katarina, and Raquel waited in the shaft behind her, not daring to move or to make a sound.

Sally hurried after Mei Ling into the guard room.

In the guard room-
Mei Ling looked back, seeing Sally following her. She looked past her all the way down the hall to the elevator at the end, where she saw Ghost, Spike, and another skinhead - and they looked back! "Sally, run, they see us!" she called as she barreled through the open door, down a short corridor, and into the reception area beyond.

[Mr. Handy]

10:19 AM
In the cell block-
Alicia shivered as she heard three pairs of footsteps running closer. The other women waited nervously behind her.

In the guard room-
Sally ran through the guard room, not looking back for fear it would slow her down. Her chest heaving, she ran through the short corridor and into the reception area.

In the reception area-
There was a scream like that of a banshee coming from far upstairs. It had to be Lara. As Sally ran in from the guard room, Mei Ling sped on into the upward-sloping corridor ahead. The surface was a long way up, and Hitch was no doubt ahead of her in pursuit of Lara, but Mei Ling was determined to go through him, rescue her, and escape.

[Mr. Handy]

10:20 AM
In the cell block-
Alicia and the others waited, not making a sound. Soon the footsteps were close enough that they could all hear them.

In the reception area-
Sally raced onward, only caring about getting out of this place before they caught her again. She barreled through the door and into the corridor beyond.

In the corridor-
Mei Ling ran around the corner to the right, through the open gate. She reached the bottom of the stairs leading out of here.

[Mr. Handy]

10:21 AM
In the cell block-
Alicia didn't make a sound while the footsteps ran directly underneath the air vent, and she could see three of the skinheads running past through the grating. She recognized Ghost and Spike. "Htich, where are you?!" shouted Ghost into his walkie-talkie. "We've got a couple of loose fillies!"

In the corridor-
Sally followed Mei Ling around the corner.

On the stairs-
Mei Ling raced upstairs, with Sally a flight behind. She reached the first landing.

10:22 AM
In the cell block-
Alicia and the others waited while the skinheads ran past and into the guard room. "Hitch!" called Ghost.
