An Unpaid Debt Pt. 1

“JACKIE, Hurry up, you’re going to be late for school. Lets go.”
“Wait, I’ll be down in a second.”
Jackie quickly finished brushing her teeth and tied her hair up. She ran down stairs, gave her brother a hug, gathered her belongings and started to walk to school. Jackie was a freshman at Dia High school it was an all girl high school, and she wasn’t all too popular. People knew who she was, but never noticed her. She was drop dead gorgeous, but always hid her looks. She wore baggy jeans, and a sweater to school everyday. Hair pulled back in a ponytail, no makeup, no nothing. So no one paid any attention. Her brother Jason, was the only family she had left, her parents both died when she was younger. Her mom of cancer and her father, plane accident. She lived with her brother in a pretty average sized, two-story house. Nothing special. Her brother was was 26 years old, he had a part time job at the nearby drug store. He didn’t make a lot, but it was enough. It put food on the table and paid for Jackie’s tuition. It didn’t make sense to her how he could pay for all of this when he only worked part time, but she never asked. Jackie made her way to school, she lived 3 blocks away, and just left the house. If she was fast, she would make it in 15 minutes, which was all the time that she had. Her brother waited patiently at home, cleaning and doing chores that he usually did everyday. He went to work at 10:00 am, and got home at 4:00 PM, and Jackie was always home by then. It was getting close to four, so Jason checked out and left. When he got home, Jackie wasn’t there yet, which was odd, but he just thought she was hanging out with her friends. Fifteen minutes later, he heard a loud bang at the door, he opened it and looked out. He saw a van driving off in the distance, and an unmarked box. He quickly shut the door and went into the kitchen to get a knife to open the box. There was an envelope inside. He tore it open, and there was a message, “It’s Time for Pay Back…” he gasped, and thought about who it could be–oh no, he thought. He checked the box to see if there was anything else, and looked inside and found a locket. It belonged to his mother, and she gave it to Jackie. He opened it, and there was a picture of himself, and one of Jackie. What had he gotten her into?
The phone rang, “five o’clock, the warehouse by the lake, don’t bring any of your buddies, or you know what will happen.” and then the line was dead. He looked at the clock, 5:30, the warehouse was close, but he decided to go early.
