Three young sisters Theresa, Kim and Angie live in 1927 San Diego and work at a neighborhood cafe as waitresses. Unbeknownst to them however, their workplace is not as squeaky clean as it appears. Angie: Come on girls we'll be late for work. *She says as she stands by the car waiting for her sisters.* [img src="http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/classic-car-images/singer.jpg" src=" Kim: We're coming! *she shouted as she grabbed her hat and ran out the door with Theresa following right behind her.* *They arrive at the cafe for their afternoon shift and are soon swamped with customers since it's another beautiful day in sunny California.* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/OPPierCafe201920s.jpg" src=" Kim: Hey Danny I need another # 3 platter! *she shouted back to the kitchen* Danny: Coming right up! Theresa: Hi ya Mike. *She said to the older man sitting down at the counter who was one of the regulars.* You want the usual? Mike: Hey chickadee! I sure do. Angie: Hi fellas what can I get ya? *she said to the table full of young college men* Young man: How 'bout a kiss? *he said playfully* Angie: Sorry Mac, the bank's closed. *she said smiling* Young man: Okay, we'll just have burgers then. *After their shift they went home leaving their boss and his partner who were brothers and both owned the cafe alone to count up the money for the day.* John McGuire: Come on let's go. *They headed to the back of the cafe and unlocked a door revealing case after case of bootleg liquor.* Jim McGuire: We need to move all of these cases by the end of the week. John: Sure thing. We need to be careful though especially since the cops have really been cracking down lately. Jim: I know I know, don't get in a lather! We'll be careful.

angie: you know, there is something strange going on
theresa:why do you say that angie?
angie: have you seen the way they look at you sometimes if you stare at them?
kim:you know,the oher day i saw a few boxes by the door, and i naturally thought they had supplies that i was supposed to put away, but when i went over to pick it up, jim rushed over and grabbed my arm tightly and told me to step away from the box. but then he smiled as if trying to hide something.
theresa: that is strange
kim: but i just put it out of my mind and forgot about it till now.
angie: you see, i think there is more then meets the eye around here.
theresa: oh come on girls, i think we should mind our own business, and stop prying into other people's affairs.
angie:you arent the slightest bit interested?
theresa:not the slightest*she folds her hands* lets get home, it has been a long day.
kim, and angie: okay lets split!
as they get their things ready to go, kim and angie walk out the door, and call to theresa
angie: well what are you waiting for.....the sun to go down? come on!
theresa: just a minute! im getting my purse*she looks to see if angie and kim are outside, and she goes to peek inside the small window of the locked doors in the back of the cafe.
theresa: it is too dark, i cant see any--*she squeals and jumps with the sudden touch of two hands on her shoulder*
kim: werent the slightest bit curious huh?
theresa: oh alright,*the three giggle* so i have noticed some odd things going on around here too

The girls walk for a couple blocks, their feet aching from standing and serving food all day, when they come to their favorite restaurant and walk in. They sit down and remove their shoes. "Just the usual, Patti -- thanks." Kim says as she hands the waitress her menu and rubs her feet. The other two girls nod, as if to say 'the usual for us, too.' and they rub their ankles. "We can't keep going on like this, girls, what are we gonna do?" Kim asks, wincing from the pain in her heel. "All we need are a new pair of shoes." Theresa says, shrugging and taking a sip of her water. "That's easy to say but this job doesn't pay jack and we're running out of places to get a hire! Look, sure this place may be a little shady, but listen...what other chance have we got? If it ain't the cafe then it'll be working 7-9 in the mill -- and I personally refuse." Angie says, folding her arms and huffing back into her chair. "Should we use the money we've been saving up?" Kim inquires, looking to them both. All the girls look to each other, reluctant, but knowing it's the best solution for their problem. "Maybe we should -- I mean, it's hardly enough to get us a trip to Hawaii anyways. Let's just use the money for the shoes and focus on not losing our jobs." Theresa says, placing her napkin in her lap and taking a bite of her food. "Well, whatever these men are doing it's no concern of ours. Tomorrow morning we'll stop off at Schubert's Shoe Store and get three new pairs of shoes." Angie says, digging in to her meal. About 20 minutes later, after their dinner, the girls head home to their downtown renter And go to bed for another exciting day of waitressing.

Theresa: These new shoes are pretty comfy. *She said as they walked from the beach where they parked their car everday up to the cafe* Kim: They're real cute too. Angie: Hey look! *she said pointing to the cafe that was surrounded by the police.* What's going on? *she said to the policeman* [img src="http://www134.pair.com/fbell/WK269.jpg" src=" Officer: Please move along miss. Kim: But we work here. Officer: Oh, well would you come with me please. *The girls followed the officer as they walked over to another group of cops.* Officer: Sgt. Jones, these young ladies work here. I thought you'd like to talk to them. Sgt. Jones: Yes, thank you. So you girls work here? Theresa: Yes sir. Can you tell us what's going on? Sgt. Jones: Your employers are bootleggers Miss. They've been arrested and the cafe's been shut down. Now I need to get some information from you so we can reach you during the investigation and we may also need you to testify when this goes to trial. *After giving the Sgt. their info the girls walked back to their car and talked about what to do next on their way back home.* Kim: Well we still have enough savings left to last a couple weeks if we eat real cheap. Theresa: I hope we can find jobs before it runs out. Angie: Well we could chuck it all in and move to Hollywood and become famous movie stars. Maybe one of us could be the next Clara Bow! *she said laughing* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/47d4_1.jpg" src="

the next day the girls go out and roam around the whole city in search of jobs, but with no luck.
kim:oh banana oil!
angie: you said it!
theresa: there are no positions open anywhere in sight
kim: it has been such a long day i just wanna go home, we can look more tomorrow.
angie: but we need jobs now
theresa: i know, but these gorgeous shoes dont feel so gorgeous anymore, and i wanna go home
angie: oh alright, i guess
kim: after all tomorrow's another day(heehee! not the right year huh?)
as the girls arrive to their flat, angie unlocks the latch and it opens with a squeaking sound. as they walk into the dark room, and turn on the lights, the door slams making the three sisters scream loudly and jumop into the air.
theresa: why did the door slam like that?
angie:well if you take your finger nails out of my arm i can see why
theresa: oh sorry....but im scarred.
kim: oh it is probably just the wind * as she reaches for the lights to turn them on*...see noone here......you two have the strangest looks on your faces on right now.
with that said, a guy jumps behind her and grabs her covering her mouth with one hand and a gun poiting into her side in the other of his hands.
theresa: KIM!!
man#1: be quiet!
the two other men with him jump out from behind the furniture and pull out their guns and grab angie and theresa.
angie: what do you want?!
man#2:stop talking, you are gonna start walking that is what we want.
man#3:move now!
the girls all look to eachother is fear and walk out first with the three guys following them with guns hiding inside their jacket pockets pointing to their backs.

"Get in the car." Man #1 snaps, jabbing the gun point into Kim's back. Theresa and Angie get into the car as well, shaking and trembling at the tone in his voice. Two men sit up front while one of the men sits in back with the girls and cocks his gun. "Any sudden moves and I'll pull this trigger, do you understand?" The girls nod faintly and sit as still as they can, making sure they don't anger these men any further. About 40 minutes later the car pulls into a boat harbor and turns the engine off. "Dusty, I want you and Sam to take them up to the ship; take care of the reservations and Sam...you keep that gun cocked." The man turns his eyes from Sam and glares at Kim, Theresa and Angie. "Any funny business and you all get the stiff -- so save us the grief and behave, all right?" The girls gulp and nod faintly, absolutely terrified. Sam does as he's told and takes the girls by the arm gruffly and yanks them up the stairs. "Hey Frank," Dusty says, just as he's about to walk off, "what if they call Sam's bluff and make a scene; what's he gonna do? And what's Joe gonna say once he finds out we're not packin' prepared?" Frank stops and takes a sigh. "Let's just hope they're smart." Frank walks off to call his boss and tell him everything is working according to schedule.

*Dusty and Sam walk with the girls to the boat they rented and lead them aboard.* Dusty: Go in. *he said gruffly as he opened a door to one of the cabins.* *The girls walked in and sat down on the bed huddling close together.* Kim: Will you please tell us what's going on? Sam: Shut up! *he said as he slapped her* Dusty: You better cut that out right now or you'll get the same as your sister *he said to Theresa as she was beginning to cry.* Frank: Come on *he said as he walked in and grabbed Angie by the arm lifting her off the bed* Angie: Where are you taking me? *she asked but got no reply* Frank: Dusty you take her *he said pointing to Theresa* and put her in cabin 2. She can stay here and you deal with her *he said to Sam talking about Kim*. *Frank then led Angie to her cabin and slung her down on the bed.* Angie: Please mister, you can do whatever you want with me but let my sisters go. *she said trying to hold back the tears* Frank: I'm guessing you're the oldest huh? How old are you? Angie: 25 *she said in a shaky voice* Frank: Well if you want to make it to 26 then shut up and lay back. *he said as he walked towards her with a rope in his hand* *Angie's eyes got big as she heard his threatening words and saw the rope. Once he got close enough she kicked him in the stomach and got up to run towards the door. He quickly caught her and threw her down onto the bed tying up her hands and feet and putting a blindfold over her eyes.* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/hangingtree4.jpg" src=" Frank: I don't want to have to gag you too *he said leaning over her* so for your own good don't make any noise. Okay? *Angie refused to answer him and kept quiet. She had never been so scared and angry at the same time.* Frank: I'll take that a yes then. *he said as he left her cabin and locked the door behind him.*

theresa: take your hands off me you big bohunk!
dusty:i cant do that....hold still!*he grabs both her arms on her sides holding them close to her body nice and tight so she cant move at all and plops her on the bed, about to tie her hands to the bed posts*
theresa:why are you doing this?
dusty:no talking!*he raises his hand to slap her face and she falls back on the bed out cold*
kim:where did you take my sisters?!
sam keeps quiet and got out his rope to tie her up
kim:answer me!
sam immediately rushes behind her in her chair and ties her hands to the back of it, whispering in her ear
if you are a good girl, your sisters will stay alive.....and you too, butyou start chatting and i dont think you will like what happens
kim's eyes widen and she gulps loudly, thinking to herself as he crouches in front of her looking straight into her eyes and gagging her at the same time with his handkerchief.
why is he doing this, he is too cute to be doing this.....oh no dont start that, he isnt cute, he is a kidnapper for crying out loud
sam: now be a good girl, ill be back later
kim's eyes glare at him in a mean way, and he sees it but looks away with a guilty feeling
now that all three girls are tied up, the three kidnappers all meet outside the cabins

All three men stand around on the top deck with their cigarettes in hand and discuss their next move (lol, almost typed 'movie'). "Can't we just let 'em off someplace in New Mexico and tell them not to come back?" Sam asks as he takes another puff of his cigarette, trying not to make it look obvious that he doesn't want another murder on his hands...and conscience. "We were hired to bump 'em off, Sam; and we've got to keep our end of the bargain. $25,000 a piece for the three girls who witnessed John and his boys hauling the hooch. Once we finish the job we'll take a vacation and go our separate ways -- living off the dough we've been stashing." Frank replies, flicking his cigarette onto the ground and leaning against the railing, over-looking the ocean. "We'll be arriving in New Mexico in a few days. Once we get there we'll wait around until it gets dark then bump 'em off and pitch 'em in a lak--" Dusty immediately stops talking when he hears a noise coming from the cabins on the lower deck. "They're trying to escape!" Dusty exclaims angrily through his clenched teeth, not saying it too loudly for fear of attracting attention. All three guys rush down the stairs and into their cabins. Kim's chair is laying flat on its back, she's obviously been stuck while trying to escape; Sam sets her up and ties the ropes tighter around her wrists. Angie is right by the door, kicking it as hard as she can with her feet; Frank pulls her by her arms and throws her back down on the bed. The moment Dusty bursts through Theresa's door she just about has her gag lowered to her neck; she quickly wiggles the rest of it down with her shoulder and begins to scream for help. Dusty makes his way toward her quickly and covers her mouth with his large hand but she bites it; he slaps her out of reflex. She looks down and starts to sob, wanting to place her hand over her burning cheek. After hearing some of the commotion, another passenger on the boat walks down the steps and peaks his head into the first cabin he comes to, which is Kim's. Sam hears the footsteps and glares at Kim as she takes a breath and goes to scream; he acts quickly and places his hand around the back of her head, grabbing a chunk of hair and kisses her. The man steps into the room and goes to speak up but stops immediately when he sees the two kissing. He discreetly steps back out of the room and walks up on deck. Sam pulls back once the man is out of the room and slams the door. Kim's feelings are all jumbled; she's amazed and left breathless by the kiss, but those feelings soon vanish when she remembers that this dangerous man is her kidnapper and the only reason he kissed her was to shut her up so he won't get caught. Sam looks at his watch; 10:13. He turns the lights out and climbs into bed. "And where am I going to sleep?" Kim asks angrily. "In the chair." Sam replies sharply, perturbed. "All night?! I'll get a crick in my neck!" "Would you rather have a crick in your neck or a hole in your head?" Kim hesitates then closes her eyes and says quickly: "'goodnight." Sam lays in bed, staring at the ceiling and smirks at her response. But he turns over on his side once the feeling in the pit of his stomach returns -- guilt and shame.

Wow I'm impressed that we're able to get to New Mexico in a boat considering it's a landlocked state. *Angie awoke to a loud commotion up on deck and saw Frank in the dark untying her from the bed.* Angie: What's going on? *she said scared and confused* Frank: We've gotten caught up in a storm and we have to abandon ship. *He picked her up off the bed and carried her out onto the deck so she wouldn't try to run away.* Frank: *whispering in her ear* If you scream or try to signal for help I'll kill you right here. *Angie could see by the look in his cold blue eyes that he wasn't kidding. Once out on the deck she saw Kim and Theresa also with their kidnappers and they all got in the same lifeboat together. Slowly it was lowered down into the choppy waters and they were now all alone with three dangerous men.* Angie: Are you alright? *she asked her sisters as they huddled together at one end of the little boat* Theresa: Yeah I guess. Kim: I'm scared, what are we gonna do? Angie: I don't know. *Frank and Dusty grabbed the oars and began paddling even though they didn't know where they were going. All they knew was they had to get away from the other lifeboats in case the girls tried to yell for help. Sam sat facing the three of them with his gun in his jacket pocket aimed at them.* *For two days they drifted out in the Pacific with only the sparse amount of provisions that were part of the survival kit in each lifeboat to keep them going.* Theresa: What's that? Angie: What? Theresa: That over there. *she said pointing* It looks like land. *All six of them squinted their eyes in the early morning sun and saw the little island off in the distance. With renewed energy the men began to row until later that afternoon they finally reached a beautiful lagoon and pulled the little boat up onto the shore.* [img src="http://www.whiteholly.org/images/Fanning%20Island,%20Kiribati%20Lagoon.JPG" src=" *Sam and Dusty put out their hands to help Kim and Theresa get out of the boat and reluctantly the girls let them. When Frank tried to do the same for Angie however she pulled away and got out on her own.* Angie: Don't you ever touch me again. *she said hatefully* *Angie walked over to her sisters who were now also giving dirty looks to Sam and Dusty.*
