You're smart enough to know the devil you know is better then the devil you don't.


"Maybe Martin should stay" you suggest.


Both Martin and Jeanette are bit surprise by your comment.


"Sorry hun, but I have a ton of work to do and so does Martin" Jeanette stated.


"If you really plan on letting me getting go by the end of the week, then it benefits me not having Martin go out and risk getting caught"


Your case doesn't seem to persuade Jeanette in the slightest, Martin on the other hand seems to take heed to what you say.


"You can do my errands Jeanette and I can do your bank statements, you'll still get the credit for doing them" Martin advised.


"Fine, I guess we should be careful"


Jeanette and Martin kiss each goodbye as she gets off the sofa, leaves the room and heads out the front door. As soon as she is gone Martin becomes his more on edge self.


"We have some work to do" Martin explained.


As before Martin grabs you by the wrist but not very tightly  leading you into the foyer and then a room on the left. It is a kitchen complete with a refrigerator, oven and stove. The appliances seemed fairly modern, although the oven and stove appeared to be a bit dirty. Next to them was a counter and sink, with dishes that needed to be washed.A sliding door on the right lead to the backyard was on the right. In the middle of the room is a kitchen table, on it is a box with a bunch of papers. You both sit down at the table as Martin takes the box and dumps the papers on the table.


"Jeanette needs these bank statements alphabetize" Martin blunted instructed.


It is a very dull affair as Martin at times seems to forget you are even there, paying for more attention to the papers then to you. You try to make small talk, Martin doesn't say much, but you manage to learn that his parents died in a car crash a few years ago and he doesn't like hot weather. Martin works at very fast pace, finishing his half of the statements and then proceeds to complete your half. By noon you are done, Martin orders a pizza, mushrooms and olives your favorite. After lunch Martin returns to the room with the love seats, lays down on one and promptly dozes off. You are now left unsupervised in the house.

You escape

You realize that you will never get an opportunity like this again, you head to the front door, unlock it and quietly sneak out. Knowing that Jeanette could be home any minute, you decided to run off as fast as you can after exiting the house. You run, run some more and keep running, you never stop to look back to see if Martin (or Jeanette) is following you. After maybe an hour your legs simply don't have the energy and you collapse on someone's yard. Luckily the owner is home and when they see you on the ground they quickly call the police. When cops get there you explain who you are and they rush you to a local hospital, with full police and FBI protection of course.


At the hospital, you are checked to see if you have physical wounds or emotional trauma. Physically you are fine, mentally you're a little out of it, not surprising after what you've through, after a few days you are sent back to your home Los Angeles. The police try find Martin or Jeanette, but  you were in such a rush when you ran out that you can't retrace your steps from where you were found. You never looked back at the house when you escaped that you have no idea what it looks like, let alone the street you were on.


The only info the FBI have to go on is their first names, it takes a while to comb through the hundreds of Martins in Destiny Hill but eventually they figure out which one kidnapped you. It turns out his last name is LaRosa, he owned a theater and has a little sister with terminal cancer. This process takes about a week and by the time the FBI arrive at the house it is long abandoned. They also find out who Jeanette is, turns out her last name is Richards and lives in an apartment, which has also been abandoned. Soon they are put on FBI's most wanted but they are never found.


As for your career, you become a bit more withdrawn and never have a meet and greet again. In fact you rarely do anything that involves interacting directly with the fans. Your future concerts all have a beefed up security presence. At first people sympathize with you, considering what you've been through but over the years the sympathy slowly turns to criticism, this hurts your career, but you're able to handle it.
