Flirting With Death.

Chapter 5

He kept staring at me, I was wondering what he was thinking about. I knew it was evil because nothing good could ever come from a heartless person like him.

"Can I see your face?" I asked, breaking the loud silence. "No baby, that's not possible." He replied "Why?" I asked him again.

"Why do you want to see my face?" He asked, getting up from the box. "I want to be the first to see the EM's face, that's all."

I lied.

I wanted to see his face so that I would be able to describe him to the police when I'm able to get out of there. I hated the EM' s character since all he knew was to kidnap young children of billionaires and demand for a random.

"Well, even if you see my face, you won't be able to describe it to them." He jerked, walking around the room as if he was tired of waiting for someone's arrival.

"To who?" Feigning ignorance.

"Oh come on girl, I'm much more faster than you think, I'm a genius, anything I guess is true, and anything I want happens, so don't try to act smart." He boastfully said, playing with his gun.

"Well guess what?!" I asked, "What?!, Your parents will pay me soon?" He guessed, looking at me as if I was a bowl of disgusting food.

"Quite the opposite." I fearlessly said as I smirked. "Do you want to die ?!" He yelled, pointing his gun at me.

"No! No! No! No! I'm sorry so so-rry" I said, shivering. "Good baby, good." He said calmly and exited the room.

I then thought of escaping but how could I? I didn't know where I was, neither did I know anything about the warehouse.

So I decided to take a stroll through the warehouse just go pinpoint some areas that could lead to my easy escape another day.

I followed the EM through the door, tiptoeing carefull.

I opened the door and entered the next room, I saw a very beautiful and luxurious living room.

I looked around but saw no one, not even the EM's accomplices.

The living room had white painted walls with well arranged ash armchairs. I then saw a desk with many books on it too. I tiptoed and went closer to it and I saw two pictures.

One was a woman with a cute baby boy, both having long ears like that of the EM.

The other was a man, also having long ears.

"Could that be his family?" I wispered to myself.

I was about to touch the pictures when suddenly someone from I don't know where, grabbed my wrist quickly and turned me to face him.

It was the EM, I could see his eyes open very wide through the black face mask, looking straight into mine.

"Sorry", I wispered. His eyes were burning with anger, tears welled up in my eyes as I knew that was my last moment alive.

Without uttering a word, he dragged me back to the previous room, threw me to the floor and yelled "You leave this room again and I...." He paused "...I won't spare you."he concluded and left me alone on the floor.

I picked myself up from the floor and cleaned my tears. I went to one of the boxes and sat on it.

I couldn't stop thinking of the pictures I saw on the EM's desk, they kept appearing to me over and over again.

After sitting on the box for a few minutes I felt bored, I wanted to do anything entertaining.

I got up from the box and opened it, I saw a lot of laptops packaged in it, I opened more boxes and saw more laptops, other boxes contained cocaine parceled in rubber, a few more boxes had guns in them.

After seeing all that, my knees became very weak, I couldn't stand any longer.

I knelt down by the boxes, with anger in my heart towards the EM, I decided to go to the beautiful living room again to find out information about the EM.

I knelt there wondering why my parents were delaying in the payment of the ransom, compelling me to spend more minutes in that hell of a place.

"I have to escape from here." I thought and got up from my knees. I was going closer to open the door when I heard noise from behind.

"What's that?" I quickly turned and whispered to myself. It sounded as if a heavy object had fallen from the ceiling on the other side of the wall.

"But there's no room at the other side of the wall, or is there? I argued with myself for a while and went closer to check even though I was scared.

I went closer to the boxes packed against the wall and with great difficulty, I removed them one after the other only to find out that there was a wooden door.

I opened it and crawled through it, I saw 3 men dressed in orange and white striped attires, they couldn't see me because the room was a little bit dark, I couldn't see their faces clearly either.

It was obvious that those men had just escaped from prison because they had the prison uniforms on.

I was just about to crawl back quietly when I noticed that some part of the ceiling was opening. It opened widely and through it came more prisoners.

I got more scared after seeing that. I carefully crawled back, closes the small wooden door and packed the boxes very well as if no one had touched them at all.

I walked to my hard bed and sat on it wondering what could happen next.
