One Saturday afternoon, Kate went to buy something for her sister and herself. As Kate was coming out of a shop, a young lady walked towards her. She said she was Miss Green—a good friend of Kate's sister's. Kate believed her. Then she called a taxi to send Kate home. She told the driver where he should go. Kate was surprised that it was not in the direction of her home.
"Why?" Kate asked. The lady smiled.
When they came to a quiet road, a big man appeared on the road. He stopped the taxi driver, knocked him down, tied him and threw him out of the taxi. At the same time, Miss Green took out a knife and pointed it at Kate. She asked Kate to keep quiet. The man then started the taxi.
"Oh! I'm kidnapped," Kate said to herself.
She tried to escape(逃脱), but not succeeded. Suddenly an idea came to her. She took out a lipstick (红) from her pocket, wrote "SOS" on the window, and covered the word with her back.
A few minutes later, a police car passed and the policemen saw the sign. When the kidnappers saw the policemen, they stopped the taxi, jumped into the grasses and ran away.
The policemen then picked Kate up and sent her home. When her parents knew what had happened, they were greatly surprised. They were also happy because their daughter finally came back safely.
