the lost of one week memories.

she woke up finding herself lock up in a room. she looked around and realise everything around her was dark and she could not see a thing. trying to get out, she uses her strength to stand up and look for a way to get out. suddenly, a voice spoke up. " there's no way we can get out." she was shocked and turned around. a 60 year old looking man was sitting behind her on the ground. " is you! why are we here?! where is this place?!" she shouted. The old man replied,"we got kidnapped."

Suddenly, a door open. 9 men were standing infront of them with guns on their hands. Jessica and Thisted stayed side by side with each other immediately after they saw the gun. "What do you all want from us?!" they remain silent and threw two bowls of rice into the room and locked it up after that. Jessica and Thisted recalled, one week ago, they came to Somalia for a volunteering work. They were about to leave and were on their way to the airport in Galkayo when suddenly, someone hit hard on their back of their head. And that's when they went into coma.

Galkayo is seperated into two different section. A northern section under the control of the semi autonomous region of Puntland, and a southern section under the control of the Galmudug clan. Jessica and Thisted were kidnapped when they crossed into the southern side of the town and were abducted there.

back to now, both of them were traumatize after recalling. They do not know if they can leave this place alive or not. however, they still need energy if one day they manage to escape. without hesitating, they picked up the bowl of rice and ate them immediately. after eating, there was nothing they can do. all they can do was to sit down in the dark room and pray, hoping someone will come for their rescue. eventually, both of them fell asleep due to tiredness.

not long later, they heard a loud bang and gun's shooting outside the room. they woke up immediately and tries to listen what's happening outside the room. in few minutes time, the sounds outside the room disappear. in the next moment, they heard loud bangs outside the room and people screaming," anyone inside!" after hearing this, they screamed back immediately. "YES! PLEASE SAVE US!"

in a split second, the door was bang opened. at that moment, they immediately recognized they are the US millitary rescue force. they are here for them!

few hours time, the both of them reached U.S and finally met up with their family.
