Jeremy’s Pov:
I was fixing up something in my room when my phone suddenly rang up and I checked and discovered it was my brother – DC.
I picked up and made sure there was nobody around.
“Hey bro” I said on the phone and sat on the bed.
“Jeremy, you’re needed back at the mansion. We’ve got an emergency” he said and I sighed and touched my forehead.
Another job?
I really needed some time off.
“An old associate just called in for a job and it’s a code red” he said.
Oh! Code red?
That means the victim would have to be killed after the job was done.
‘Who’s it?’ I asked.
‘It’s someone you know. We’re to abduct her’, he replied.
Wait, what does he mean it’s someone I know?
‘Who’s it, bro?’ I asked and my heart gave a mighty leap when I heard him say…
‘Alyssa ………’
What?
Alyssa?
I sprang on my feet immediately and scoffed.
‘A… Alyssa?’ I repeated over the phone.
‘Yes, Jeremy, and since you’re there with her, you’ve been assigned got abduct and bring her in.’[
Oh God!
This is not happening.
Alyssa?
Why her of all people?
And why do I have to be the one to abduct her?
Oh God!
‘Hey, Jeremy; are you with me?’ he asked, but I couldn’t say a word as I ran my fingers through my her.
‘Jeremy!’ he half-yelled and I sighed and planked myself on the bed.
‘Who’s the client?’ I asked.
ALYSSA’S POV
Mico’s silence was really driving me crazy. I was still looking for a way to get him to understand and forgive me. His cousins told me it will only be temporary because that’s how Mico acts when he is upset.
But, I really can’t have him stay mad at me. When will it be over?
I was lying on my bed thinking about him when a text suddenly entered my phone. I checked immediately, hoping it was Mico and … it was him.
Well, it seemed to be him.
‘Meet me behind the Med Lab. It’s Mico’ the message read.
But it was from a different number. Well, maybe that explains why his other lines have been unreachable. Anyway, I couldn’t think much about it. The most important thing was he wanted to see me.
I sprang on my feet and found something suitable to wear. I really hope my meeting with him turns out fine.
Then, after this, I’ll never do anything to make him mad at me again, I’ll never keep any secrets from him again, I’ll try my best to be a perfect girlfriend.
I left the dome and headed outside for the med lab. I was so excited. At least, Mico wants to talk to me.
I arrived behind the med lab which seemed quiet, but there was no sign of Mico here.
I rubbed my palms together and hoped he gets here soon.
Just then, I saw a car drive to where I was. Could it be Mico?
I watched as the driver stopped and came out of the car and ………it was Jeremy.
Huh? Why is he here?
He came out of the car looking broody and all and I tried to understand why he was here.
‘Jeremy?’ I called as he drew closer to me.
‘Wh…What are you doing here?’ I asked and took a step back.
He touched his head and sighted.
‘Alyssa’, he called and moved close to me again.
‘There is something you should know.’[
Okay, what is Jeremy driving at? Maybe i should get out of here before Mico sees us and misunderstands me again.
I tried walking away but he held me back and I flinched.
‘What are you doing?’ I asked, confused, and he just looked into my face.
‘I’m sorry, Alyssa’ he muttered and dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out a napkin.
I winced and tried wr iggling my hand out of his, but before I could say a word, he put it over my nose and I started gasping for breath. He turned and made me lean on his body and after struggling to no avail, I finally dozed off.
***
I woke up and felt myself lying on the floor.
I opened my eyes but the whole place was still dark.
I tried moving but couldn’t.
I couldn’t even sit up.
It seems my eyes, hands and legs were tied.
And wait..my mouth too. I couldn’t open my lips and I could feel something like a band around it.
Oh, God!
Where am I?
How did I end up here?
Where’s Jeremy?
I can recall him putting a napkin around my nose and then, I passed out.
Oh, my God!
Does this mean Jeremy…
I struggled to sit up, but couldn’t.
I couldn’t even say a word.
And I couldn’t see a thing.
I was so scared.
My breath was rough.
Where could I be?
Not long after, I heard a door open and I think it must have been the door to the room I was staying because I also heard some footsteps and little voices.
My fear increased when I felt a hand hold me and sat me up.
Then, the blindfold on my eyes were taken off and I could see everything now.
What?
Where am I?
I shivered as I stared at the guys in front of me.
There were about five of them and three were armed.
Oh, God!
Then one of them who I guess to be the one that had taken the blindfold off my eyes, roughly removed the band that was tied on my mouth.
I whimpered immediately, realising I could now speak.
“Pl…Please. don’t hurt me. Let me go. I haven’t done anything. I…I think you’ve got the wrong person.
Please…have pity on me” I cried and one of them who seemed the boss, sniggered and squatted in front of me.
“No, miss Alyssa; there’s no way I’ve got the wrong person” he said and my fear increased.
So, he really knows me?
And they did all these on purpose?
But what have I done?
And…and is Jeremy involved in this?
“Wh…what do you want from me?” I sobbed.
“Please let me go. I’ll pay any amount you ask for”.
He scoffed and looked into my face. But I couldn’t stare back at him.
“Don’t worry, Alyssa. I don’t need your money.
But there is something I need from you” he said softly and my eyes dimmed.
What was he talking about?
I forced myself to have a look at his face and he smiled croakily.
“But, don’t worry; it’ll all be over by tomorrow” he added and my anxiety increased.
Oh, God!
what is going on?
“Anyway” he continued.
“I’ve got some place to be right now.
But don’t worry, I’ll be back before the fun begins.
“So, while I’m away, I’ll be keeping you in my brother’s care.
He might look familiar to you.
But let’s see if you know him”.
Just then, the door opened and Jeremy walked in.
Oh, God!
Jeremy?
I gasped in shock and my eyes dilated.
No;
This should be a dream.
It’s all a dream.
A nightmare.
