When poles collide

Maddox

I am seated here in my sanctuary , my study . In the past 45 minutes Ive learnt a new lesson i.e Wait is very excruciating and I am not sure why. Ive been to infirmary more times in these past two days than Ive been in last 6 months. Ive witnessed all her shots. Never in my life have I been this restless. And the answers to my questions can only be given by this girl. Today at 12am I had received the news of her parents custody. Ive been itchy ever since Alex told me the whole situation. Ive multiplied the guards around my house and Moved my sister in. All done in 6 hours . Now according to the doctor the girl must be up and about in an hour. Now its 7.45am and no sign of them . I look around to to throw amy thing in sight but as soon as I reach for the lamp door opens. The girl enters the room as if in a trance. Without even glancing my way she reaches my breakfast table and starts stuffing it in her face. It just rubbs me in the wrong way. After a few seconds John is by my side and he wispers in my ear. ' Sir I appologize for the wait but when I reached the infirmary she had hit the doctor unconcious and was about to escape from the window. She swaped the clothes with the doctor. I was on my way here but she was mrking each pathway so i had to take her in the dark room.' I nod in response too busy watching the girl stuffing her face . For some reason I am not as restless and itchy as before but the longer she takes to notice me ,the higher my temper gets. After solid 15 min she finally lifts her head and our eyes contact. I refuse to react to the way her brown eyes makes my insides stir. I take pains to make my face emotionless and eyes cold. A flicker of recognition passes over her face that is quickly replaced by anger. 'What do you want with me?' I am taken aback by her calm and cold voice. For a women she sure has guts. I answer her with a cold voice of my own ' information' . She lifts her eye brow ' About?' She wants to play games I will give her games . 'The incident' she just humms in respose. After a minute she speaks ' so you wabt information about me jumping infront of your car with a woman at the brink of death?? Who are you to question? From the looks of you I can tell youre no detective.' Her nerve..... how dare she question me. Does she not realise what situation she is in. 'I dont think you realise what situation you're in.I will ask questions and you will answer them. ' unfazed by my command she says ' Why keep me captive for 2 days ?' ' Tsk .... you still dont understand but you will.' I signal for John to show her . John presses a few buttons and pass the phone to her. I observe her reaction , she grits her teeth , her jaw locks and her face darkens . I am mesmerized by the fire in her eyes. ' you bastard !' She points her finger towards me.' You listen to me . If and I say again if only one hair on their hair is damaged . I will make sure you will see hell in with you eyes open.' Even her thunderous voice makes her heart.....what the hell am I thinking ? I feel anger at myself for being stupid. I steel my spine and say. ' so you want to know what I can do?' ' No I dont nor am i interested . What i want is to get out of here with my parents safe and sound.' Hmmm ' then we want the same thing . Answer my question truthfully and I would let you go. ' I know my tone is i infuriating her . She takes a deep breath. Some tension in her body reduces but she stands firm. 'Ask' ' What were you doing with the woman ?' I was not doing anything with her I was on my way back from my job when I heard some noises in the alley . I went there and found her. ' ' explain in every detail you remember' ' the alley was dark and there were two men dumping her in the dumpster. As soon as they shut the lid they ran off to the other end . A Suv came out of nowhere . They jumped in and it was out of sight. As soon as the car was gone I ran to the dumpster , picked her up and ran towards the main road. And you know the rest.' Why didn't you call the ambulance? ' ' I checked her pulse , it was too weak to wait. She wouldn't have made it. Come to think of it. How is she?' She seemed genuinely interested 'She is fine but the loss of blood was too much she is in coma. Did you see any other person in car ? Did you note the number?' ' no i didn't think of it . I was working on fight or flight mode.' 'ahan alright . Don't even think about running I will find you and you will regret. 'She abruptly stoid up and started walking towards the door she came from. I felt my heart shrink.....? God dammit I spoke before I could even think. 'Your university has been sent an application for today and you will be excused without any dent on your grades. ' ' I would say thankiu but I cant because it is all your fault ' she starts turning and i feel it again .Shit .But this time she turns which makes my insides stir Again. ' what about my parents?' 'They will be in our custody untill your information is verified.' ' Don't back down on your or I will have to follow through my threat.' She turns around and leaves without a word . I am left alone with fighting my inner battle.
