Re: IC-SWORD-Captive Hearts(Captives)
Raquel sat against the wall and waited.

Alicia waited until the sounds ceased. Then she spit on both of her hands and lay across the width of the cell. Pressing the soles of her feet against one wall and the palms of her hands against the other, she tried to walk her way up but couldn't get anywhere yet.

Re: IC-SWORD-Captive Hearts(Captives)
Raquel listened intently to her friend's progress.
"Do not give up." she whispered more to herself than anyone.

Alicia was able to hear every word in the other room, unlike Lara, who wasn't paying attention and just sat scrunched up with her arms around her legs and her face pressed against her knees.
Alicia took a deep breath before trying once more to climb the walls. She was doing better this time, but she still slid back down.

Re: IC-SWORD-Captive Hearts(Captives)
Raquel's felt the framiliar feeling of panic rise up again. She hoped that Alicia would not be heard she truelly did. She did not want to think of the consequences if she was discovered.
The more she listened to the conversation the more confused she became. It was only after a few moments that she realized that the one woman was Katrina. her stomach did a flip. Raquel could barely understand what they were saying. One thing was certain however, one had been called Sally. She continued listening.

In the cell block-
Alicia cried, feeling completely helpless. For years she had worked as a lifeguard, watching out for others and occasionally rescuing them when they were in danger, but nothing could have prepared her for the situation in which she found herself. Now her best friend Raquel was counting on her to save her, and Alicia didn't know if she could do it. Still, she kept trying. Step by step, one hand or foot at a time, she walked herself up the wall. I'm doing it! she thought triumphantly. Soon she was near the ceiling, and the grating leading to the ventilation shaft was only inches away.

Re: IC-SWORD-Captive Hearts(Captives)
Raquel's heart thumped in her chest now. The sounds of struggle had temporarily vanished in her friend's cell. She was not sure whether this was a sign of success or of tragic failure. While still focusing on the people she tuned her ears to her friend. The suspense would kill her.

In the cell block-
Alicia looked at the grating above her. It was old and rusty, and it wouldn't take much force to dislodge it, but it would require her to take one of her limbs away from the wall, and it might make some noise. She took a deep breath and put all of her weight on her left foot, then quickly removed her right leg from the wall and jabbed at the grate with her knee. Unfortunately, she started to slip down and her knee came up short. She quickly pressed her leg back against the wall and managed to keep herself from falling. She paused and tried to calm herself down.

"Alicia," she said through the wall, "Hush. They are coming."
She froze in her place, unable to look away.

In the cell block-
Alicia froze, paralyzed. Her breath caught in her throat as she lay suspended across the width of her cell just below the ceiling, her hands and feet all that kept her from falling.
Raquel peered through the tiny gap between her cell door and the frame.
"So, Katarina," said Sally, "how long have you been down here with everyone? You seem to have an accent that I cannot place, where is it from?"
"I from Romania," said Katarina. "I been here several months. Up top at first, then I move down here. Where you from, Sally?"
"Wow, Romania is a very long ways off. Sounds exciting."
"Is beautiful country. Is funny, but I always thought America would be more exciting when I live in Romania."
"The rest of you go on ahead," said the skinhead at the back of the group that started walking through the hall outside, whose voice the women recognized as that of Jeff. "I'll stay up here and keep an eye on things."

In the cell block-
Alicia's palms were getting sweaty, and she slipped down another inch, but she managed to hold on tight and keep from falling any further. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and tried to control her breathing, praying for everyone in the hall to go away quickly before she lost her grip.
"That's right, you said there was storm," said Katarina, her voice trailing off as she walked away. "They said there lots of tornadoes in these parts. Is that what happen?"
"Yeah, that's right," said the big skinhead who was helping to carry Hitch. "It's a tornado. Nothing to worry your pretty little head about, Katarina. We're all perfectly safe from it down here."
The footsteps receded into the distance, but there was still one pair walking around in the hall outside. "How are you ladies doing?" asked Jeff's voice. "Each of you say something so I know you're okay."

Re: IC-SWORD-Captive Hearts(Captives)
Raquel said as loud as she dared through the wall, "I'm sorry Alicia. Please try to hang in there, I know you can do it."
She listened intently.

Raquel could still hear Katarina's voice in the distance.

Re: IC-SWORD-Captive Hearts(Captives)
Raquel continued listening. She prayed that Alicia would be able to get into the ventilation shaft. If worse came to worse and the skinheads suspected something was wrong, she would make as much noise as possible in an attempt to distract them and allow Alicia not to be caught.
She hoped in would not have to come to that.

Raquel could barely hear Sally speaking in the next room as her voice trailed away.
Alicia replied to Raquel in Spanish. Though her muscles were getting sore, she held her place and strengthened her resolve.
"Lara, you in there?" asked Jeff.
"Nyet," Lara spat back.
Jeff chuckled. "That's what I love about you, Lara. Well, that and your smoking hot body." He turned around and walked back into the guard room.

Alicia carefully inched her way back up to recover the height she had lost until she was once again within striking distance of the grating.
"Dammit!" shouted Jeff from the guard room. "Deadeye and Ghost, sorry to interrupt your dinner, but I need you in the guard room now!"
Once more Alicia precariously balanced herself using both arms and one leg and quickly slammed her knee at the grating, but she was just an inch short. She returned her foot to the wall and easily stayed in place. I can do it, she thought. One more try.

Alicia was too focused on trying to get the grating open to pay much attention, but Lara heard what was going on in the guard room.
Alicia launched another kick at the grating, This time her foot connected, and it dropped open, dangling from the ceiling from one side. Alicia was able to rapidly press her leg against the cell wall and held steady. Freedom was within her grasp!
"Jeff, I just heard a noise!" shouted a skinhead from the guard room who had a Kentucky accent. "It sounded like it came from Alicia's cell!"
"We'll check it out when we're done in the studio, Deadeye!" Jeff called back. "Alicia can wait. She ain't going nowhere!"
