“Megan, What’s wrong?”
“Hello little Phoenix.” A deep voice filled the line. I could still hear muffled crying from Megan in the background.
I was frozen. I didn’t know what to say or do.
“Awful quiet little Phoenix. I’ll make this simple. You come to the principal's office and turn yourself over to me and I will let your little friend go. Along with all the other people here in the office.” The voice spoke again.
Gavin snatched the phone from my hand. “Not going to happen.”
Laughter filled the line. Until we heard an ear-piercing scream. A text message pinged on my phone a few seconds later. Gavin looked at the message but would not allow me to see it.
“You have five minutes and somebody else will die.” The line went dead.
I grabbed the phone from Gavin before he could stop
