PROLOGUE
Okay. You are stuck in a locked car, with a stranger. you have nothing to defend yourself with, while the stranger has a gun. he wants to kidnap you and ransom you back to your parents. how are you meant to feel? scared?... even...terrified?
Not me.
"Can you pass me the toffee popcorns?"
I asked, done with the massive Costo size twenty pack of chocolate bar.
My kidnapper, the guy who was still nameless, glanced at me unbelievingly.
"You finished the chocolate already? that was meant to us for a month or so!"
I wiped some of the melted yummy-ness off my mouth.
"whatever. I get hungry when i am being kidnapped.you know, by a creepy nameless stranger. what's your name by the way?" He glanced at me disapprovingly. Okay i changed my mind. He wasn't creepy - not at all. He was totally sweet-looking with his black eyes and thick black hairs - not the kidnapping kind of guy at all. From his biceps, I would say he was a Jock or something , and was about my age. Lucky me - the last guys who kidnapped me were old, bald, and boring.
"Maan!"
I nodded. A cute, normal name. Why would a guy like him would kidnap someone and threaten them with a gun? Not that i was scared. I've been kidnapped three times before already. It happens when you're family is rich, and your bodyguards suck. Not that I had a bodyguard anyway. I should get one of those.
"Cool." I said, snapping open the pack of toffee popcorn. Okay I swear normally I am not that much of a pig, but its like a natural body reaction; eat while you can. I flicked the radio on, without asking, and tuned on my favorite channel.
"Oh my GOd I love this one!" I yelled through the loud music, humming along to KAty perry's Teenage dream. "isn't she amazing?"
He finally reacted, by flicking off the radio shut again.
"I hate Katy perry," he said, but I couldn't help noticing that the manly smirk that played around his lips.
"fine!" I muttered, getting my ipod out of my jacket, untangled the wires of my headphone. you know the cool DJ ones. In pink. I shoved it into my ears and played some music. "I'll just listen to my good, tasteful Katy Perry in private."
He was smirking for real now. His smile is just awesome. Why would a guy like him would kidnap me?
I'm over-thinking it. i'll just wait until my dad pays the ransom, and then i can go home. But do i even want to go home in the first place? What was the point of going back? Isn't that the way i'd let myself get kidnapped? Maan was clearly a amateur, I knew all the tricks. I could have taken him down whenever i wanted, even with the gun in his hand. I had no idea where we are going, I dont think Maan did either.
Whatever, i thought. Just enjoy life while it lasts.
I closed my eyes, and leant my head against the glass window.

"Vegas!" I yelled. i'd woken up, finally, and now i was surrounded by the shiny tacky, glitzy lights of LAS VEGAS. Z"I love Vegas! can we go gambling?"
He raised his brow.
"Rich girls know how to gamble?"
"No... i said hesitantly. "But i have seen movies with gambling in it."
"that's not the same."
"Isn't it?"
"No."
"Oh."
"Anyways we are not here to gamble. Maybe next time. We have to get your ransom money, quick. And i have a friend here who will help me get your money. He's a good negotiator."
I nodded but I had a question.
"Okay, just out of curiosity, why are you doing this? The last guy was to get a new sports car for his girlfriend. the guy before that was a teacher got fired. the one before that needed some money to pay his debt. What do you want?"
"You've been kidnapped before?" he asked sounding shocked.
I shrugged.
"yeah, a couple of times. You're not my first, you know." i turned away blushing suddenly. I just realized how that sounded. "So why are you doing this?"
He ground his teeth.
"that's not important."
"I think i have the right to know. I might be able to help you."
