Submitting novel Chapter 46

They simply had no idea. They didn’t even know that we existed before I came here. They had no idea about me or Liza at all.  

“So Rose, you were trapped and kidnapped in a house by two men, for how long?” he was taking notes in his small notepad which seemed nothing but funny to me. The things that I went through won’t even suffice 10 such notepads. What would he do then?

“I don’t know.” There was no way for me to realise the amount of time I spent there. At times, it felt that the time was completely frozen and didn’t move at all, and sometimes it felt like time was moving at light years speed. Not that the clocks helped either because I was sure that they were messing with them as well. Mentally messing me up more than could realise at that point of time. Moreover, I didn’t know what day it was, what month it was. That crucial piece of information was hidden from me very well.

“Okay…” He cleared his throat and jotted down something more in that tiny notepad of his, whose contents were a mystery to me. He might as well be writing that I am just a deranged and crazy women who went  through a loss and is trying to occupy herself with some gibberish, unbelievable nonsense. 

“You told me that these two men are Russian, right? What do you think that they might doing here?” Oh, I don’t know? Planning to kidnap me?

“I don’t know why they did what they did or what their ultimate goal was. They didn’t share much information.” All these stupid questions were really getting to me. It was common sense that they obviously wouldn’t share anything that would jeopardize their position. 

“Okay and-”

“Listen Robert. We do not have a lot of time. When I told you that you need to save her. You need to do that now. She is in danger.” I talked slowly so that the words would register in his head and he would stop wasting his time. I was more than willing to give him any piece of information that he wanted but not now. Not while Liza is still stuck in their grasp while I am laying down here comfortably, having a chat with this increasingly infuriating man.

“I know that this process can be frustrating, but this is essential. We need as much information as we can get before we head out and take action. Any piece of missing info could play against us. And to be honest you are unable to provide us intel about the house you were really trapped in or the place as well. Yes we found you nearby but still that is not enough. You could have walked for miles in your adrenaline rush. All we have now are two men and a woman floating in the face Rose.” He tried his best to sound as soft as possible but realistic but isn’t this their job?

They were supposed to work the rest of the things out and work as swiftly as possible to save anyone who is in trouble. That’s their job isn’t it? 

“You don’t understand… Dimitri and Ivan… they will chew her alive. More now than ever, because I escaped and she let me. I-I couldn’t bring her with me. I couldn’t save her. And she is stuck there because of me.” I was ready to beg them if required so that they would get off their assess and do something.

Robert looked behind him at the other man who decided to stay quiet from the time that they entered the room. I didn’t know what kind of arrangement they had or who was the boss here but one nod of his head made Robert get up and tap his pen on the notepad twice before closing it finally. Relief washed over me, and I tried my best to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes but failed miserably.
