Being held hostage would not be a fun trip. Most people would have to agree with me on that (unless you like it or something...). I personally have no idea what I would do in a hostage situation, but I do know what one of my favorite characters ever did. She busted herself out while saving a guy who had extreme ADD. Seriously, they're sneaking around, and he asks her a question about grammar.
Grammar questions answered, or get recaptured and die?
... Nevermind escaping, I want that answer! (I can always bust out later. Totally.)
Anyways, let me think. It would go something like this:
I would be held hostage by some corrupt company that is actually a cover for the Hermatic Order of the Silver Twilight* who are trying to take over the world. I'd be captive because, as my friend David told me, I would be the only astronomer in the entire world to realize that the sun's life span was significantly shorter than we had expected. As in, it is going supernova within a few years.
Only the Order does not believe this, and they just want me to work for them and shut up so that I do not alert the public to their evil plans. I would wait for a long while and simply do what they told me to do, helping other people who were stuck in my position. I would observe everything within the inner workings and gain their trust. Then I would BAM! escape using my parkour skills that I learned while studying abroad in Italy, and I would escape with their secrets while destroying anything of value that I had given them.
Then I would go tell the world, and nobody would probably believe me until it was too late. Only the sun ends up not going supernova, but scrambling the Earth's magnetic fields so that the poles shifted and the crust became unstable, thus causing world wide natural disasters. A small percentage of the population survives this, including myself because in this alternate reality, I am awesome, and we learn to rebuild the Earth in an earth- and animal-friendly way.
In the words of Mrs. Rowlandson...
FINIS.
(*I don't mean to offend anyone who might possibly belong to the Hermatic Order of the Silver Twilight. They were just the first group of people that popped into my head.)
