Speaker 2 (00:32):
My name is Josh Roberts and it's been a year
since I was abducted. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was walking home from school. It was about six
pm and there was a full moon and a chill
in the air. I stepped off the bus and for
the first time, someone else got off with me. I'd
never seen this new kid at school before. I could
(00:52):
hear footsteps behind me. I took a quick glance and
saw the kid walking at a brisk pace. I thought
he was following me, so I took a left, which
wasn't my usual route. I looked around again and saw
him take the same left. My heart started pumping and
my legs started shaking at the sound of the footsteps
as they got louder and faster, and then panicked and
(01:14):
started running. I remembered a shortcut in the nearby forest
to my neighborhood, so I ran as fast as my
legs could carry me. Hey kid, wait up, said a
heavy voice from behind me. I tried my hardest not
to stumble on the logs and boulders in my path.
I could hear the sound of sticks and leaves being
broken by some fast, heavy footsteps. My legs started throbbing
(01:39):
as the adrenaline wore off, so I took a detour
towards a playground. I stopped to catch my breath, looking
around for somewhere to hide. Then it went silent. I
was doubtful that I lost him. I took my phone
out to call the police when I spotted a local
news article caution, there was a suspicious man on the loose.
He escaped the local prison and assaulted an officer. Beware
(02:02):
he may look like a team, but he is in
his twenties. If you see him, call nine one one
immediately and lock your door. My mind started rushing with
thoughts and I started to panic. All of a sudden,
someone started choking me with their arm. I tried to
fight back, but they were so strong didn't stand up chance.
My feelings of hope began to diminish as I slowly
(02:24):
blacked out. I awoke to find myself in a dark,
damp room that looked like a basement. The floor was
hard and cold. There were no windows, but there was
a staircase and a bathroom. I tried to move, but
I was tied up with a thick rope. Yeah, I
got them. How much was the deal? Two hundred? Listen,
(02:47):
you gotta do a little better than that. Okay, fine,
you'd better bring the right amount or you'll be tied
up like that kid. What are they selling me? The guys?
He sounded mad and anxious with whomever he was talking to.
Right after he hung up, he opened the door and
walked down the stairs with an evil smile. Let go
(03:09):
of me, I exclaimed. As he taunted me. My arms
started to fall asleep due to the tightness of the rope.
He came closer to me, and I spat in his face.
He looked at me in sheer rage. Then the doorbell rang,
followed by pounding on the door. The guy grabbed some
tape and shut me up. Before I could scream for help,
(03:32):
he slowly backed off, signaling me to keep quiet, and
ran towards the front door and looked around trying to
see what I could use to untie these ropes. I
spotted a rusty, sharp edge sticking out of the wall.
This was my one hope. I successfully got up and
tried with all my might to reach it. As I
(03:53):
was trying to cut the rope from my hands, I
could hear the commotion upstairs. Getting heated. I managed to
free myself from the ropes when I heard the front
door slam. The silence was terrifying. I was frozen in fear.
Footsteps started coming towards the door. I choked and shoveled
(04:13):
back to my original position, arms behind my back, wrists
tightly locked together. Now where were we? Said the man.
He walked towards me, grabbed my ankles and started dragging
me with the phone rang He dropped me instantly and
charged upstairs, and wasn't going to lose this opportunity. I
untied my feet, grabbed the closest thing to me, and
(04:35):
hid behind some boxes. Now where did you go? He said?
As he stampeded down the stairs. I heard him getting
closer to where I was hiding. I bolted up from
behind the boxes and saw him checking the bathroom. As
he walked out, I struck him over the head with
a hole, and he stumbled and fell to the floor.
Crimson Red bouled around his head, ran upstairs and out
(04:59):
the front. I stumbled my way to the closest house, screaming.
A woman thankfully opened the door. She was shocked and
fearful when she saw me. The police recalled and I
was rushed into the hospital. They're still looking for that man,
even to this day.
