I’m Dedicated To You

“Big brother, did you believe we can escape from here, “Gee asked me and I was surprised that she is still awake even though the room is so dark and the owl outside is making different sounds signifying that the day is over. She is still not yet sleeping like the rest of the kids.

“Yes I am sure of it”I answered her and I heard her sigh.

“But what if our plan got ruined, what are we going to do,” she asked and I thought back to our well-crafted plan.

2 DAYS AGO

After Clara went to inform the other kids about the plan of us getting out of there the little girls decided to engage me in the conversation but I didn’t give them attention after some time the metallic door to the dark room opened again.

“Stand up,” the burly man that walked towards me said and I stood up following him without questioning but I got surprised that the talkative little girl is not saying anything or even questioning the man about what business he has with me when I looked at her side I noticed that she and her friends were already fast asleep.

When I was led out of the room I noticed that there is a staircase in front of the door and that gives me the conclusion that the room is a basement or an underground room that the police will not even be aware of if they eventually found this place. As we were walking through the corridors I noticed they were different men with guns positioned at each angle of the corridors and that is making our escape rate slim because I don’t think there is a way we will try to escape from there without getting noticed.

“It’s great to finally meet the great Bradley Hale, “a man with a mustache says. I noticed the man that brought me here bowed to him and I assumed he was the boss here because of the aura he was emitting.

“What do I do ? I am not happy to see you, “I say sitting on a chair and crossing my legs. I saw that he was displeased and that’s exactly what I wanted to achieve. Even if he is their boss he is still a thug that can’t control his emotions.

“I will like you to change your attitude because I know you will like to leave here alive” he says with a threatening voice.

“I will be quick with you. I just want to send a message to your grandfather and make my demands clear,” he says, ordering his boy to set up a camera and he also asks me to sit upright.

“Are you saying you are going to send this video to my family? “I asked to see a ray of hope in his plan but I didn’t let my excitement show.

“It must be nice to be a son of an aristocrat you haven’t lost your cool or made a fuss about your kidnap that we don’t even see a reason to be abusive with you,” he says and I noticed a glimpse of hatred in his eyes but I don’t care about it but the move I was about to make I have to send my grandfather a message using the military code he taught me and I hope him and father will be able to decode or notice it.

The gang boss started the video and he started going on about what he wanted but I used that period to tell my grandfather and my dad that knows the code in my family that if they already found my wristwatch they should follow the road and I suspected we are around the Jam mountain and we are kept in an underground room so, it might be hard for them to rescue us so, I used the code to ask them to give me 2 days that we will make our way out of the underground room but we might need their help in holding down gangsters and their boss.

“I will hold out not killing your son if you meet up with my demand within 3 days but after I don’t think I can still hold on to him but I am sure you know what is going to come after that right so, I want you to think very carefully about my request and you can also beg your family to help you little prince” I heard the boss says instructing me to say something.

“Grandpa you know me right so, I believe in you, “I say, passing a confirmation message to him with my words.

“Wow you are a son of the aristocrat family, your words are simple and clear, so I hope you understand what he is saying, old man. I think this will be the end of our discussion,” the boss says, ending the video.

“Dragon takes him back and makes sure he doesn’t try anything funny, “The boss says.

“If you are going to ask for 20 million dollars don’t you think that’s cheap you could have asked for some shares instead, “I say trying to test his intelligence.

“So you mean you want me to turn myself in because you are offering me some little shares,” he says and I know he can’t be tricked but I know he is working for someone because he is consistent about what he wants means he already has a better offer and he has sworn his alliance.

“I just think you are not sailing the wrong ship, “I say walking out of the room and I tried to study the corridor well.

“Don’t try anything funny little boy” Dragon says and I got annoyed by the way he addressed me when I turned to him to reprimand him I noticed a small gate in the fields and that only means one thing if the staircase is the only thing that leads the underground room to the main building then it only means one the thing there is another door from the underground room to the outside and with that thought, I feel elated.

When I got back to the room I saw all the kids looking at me like their heroes and one of them with curly hair which I suspected to be of my age walked toward me.

“My name is Louis and we will try our best to render any help you need to help us get out of here,” he said and the other kids nodded their heads in acknowledgement.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Since you guys are willing to help, then you have to look for the door in this room that leads outside, “I say, raising my head high.
