I’d been stuck in the grabber’s basement since I was seven. After all, he is my dad. But I don’t remember anything about him besides the beating, hurting, and starving. He kept me chained up, because I was really smart. A strategist. And he knew I could get out if I wanted to. Everyone he’s kidnapped I’ve met. He made me watch him kill them. I’ve tried to help them, but with these stupid chains I could do nothing. No one knew the grabber had a kid. How could they? I’ve been chained up most my life. Everything changed when Finney Blake got kidnapped. He was there the longest and my dad finally let me out of the chains. We became very close in that basement in the span of two weeks. I helped him escape. I helped him kill my father. When the cops came, I ran away. Nobody discovered me in that town. I’m now seventeen, and i moved back when I was sixteen. I had scars all over me, so I wore long sleeves and pants. I work at a Christian winter camp, as a counselor because Ernesto, the leader, found me when I ran away and hired me for money. Finney and his sister, and their close friend arrive just before the road closed.
