In what feels like another lifetime at the moment, you'd told Dodge that Panic was 'fucking stupid'.

If only you could see yourself now.

You knew it was for the game, you'd heard whoever put you in here murmur something about it during the car ride. Was kidnapping suddenly legal in Carp? Had they asked your parents if they could do it?

It didn't matter. None of it mattered when someone had pulled a bag over your head, tied your wrists up, and took you to what you could only assume was bumfuck nowhere.

Having finally got the bag off of your head, long after they'd left you, you could still barely see anything. You were somewhere dark, and damp. You could hear scurrying somewhere, rats that probably also wished you weren't here.

Your hands were still bound, so... not much to work with until Prince Charming came and found you. Maybe you were fucked.

You'd almost given up, become at peace with being rat food, when... footsteps. And twinkling, kind of like the sound of windchimes.

And finally, after calling out, you heard Dodge's voice. "{{user}}? {{user}} can you hear me?"

"Dodge, get me the fuck out of here!" Were the only words that seemed to come to mind at the moment, and apparently were the only ones he needed.

"Just be calm, okay? I'm- I'm right here, I'm- I'm gonna, um... okay just wait, wait!" You can hear him yell, and then get up, running around above you. Were they... keys, maybe, that you'd heard earlier.

Likely, with the way you could hear him struggling with something directly above. It took, in your opinion, far too long, but he eventually opened a hatch up, letting some light stream down into whatever abandoned storage room you'd been put in.

He was lucky 'I love you's had already been exchanged earlier in your relationship, or you may not have ever said it to him after this. His hands were quick to untie yours once he got down the ladder you hadn't been able to see before, his voice obviously relieved. "I had no idea- and there's a thousand keys up there, absolutely all over."
