Captive

WITNESS

I woke up in the morning, I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

I wore simple jeans and white top a blue marine sweater I went to the kitchen to make

Breakfast, I only drank milk and ate fried eggs, my father was still asleep because it was

Still very early and I had to go to work; I was a waitress at a busy Café...

I chose to work because I wanted to help my father in financial matters,

He was an accountant in the bank, his payment is not that big, but it

Was enough for supplies

I worked on weekends, considering I spent the entire week going to med school, all my father’s financial reserves were spent on getting me to the school, which was why I wanted to help him a bit…

**************

I grabbed a taxi and headed to the café; I went inside and got changed into my uniform.

Not so long my friend Pagie come, she changed into her uniform as well and We

Sat down chatting while waiting for customers…

**************

Customers started coming, ones wanted breakfast, others wanted lunch,

Pagie and I served them until my eyes landed on a group of three people

Who entered the place and took their seats on the table next to the big window,

They all seemed suspicious, considering they all wore black, that was never a good sign...

I cut off my thoughts when my eyes met with one of them, he was tall, wearing a black suit with the buttons of his blouse opened revealing his tattooed chest, I quickly looked away when his eyes caught me staring at him.

I brought my notebook and went to them; I stood in front of them.

A blonde girl who seemed angry, a guy with some curly hair chuckling and

The man who looked at me was staring at his phone, mysteriously….

“Can I have your orders? “I asked them with a smile…

None of them answered except for the curly hair guy.

“Cappuccino, and a croissant please “

“Okey, how about you miss? I asked again

I looked at the girl with then, but she was too focused on the window, then the

Curly hair guy touched her arm.

“Victoria…? “He said

And she turned to him

“Oh yes, sorry, do you have some beer//She asked…

“Uhh…yes sure…” I hesitantly answered

“Cool, bring three bottles”. She spoke...

“O…Kay”. I said and I thought to myself

(Who drinks during the day?)

“What about you sir? “I asked the other man, but he was too focused on his phone, the

Curly hair guy once again coughed out loud which made him look up, he looked at him then at me, His eyes stayed focused on mine for second, silent, then he talked; glass of water will be fine” he said and returned to his phone again…

I wrote down everything and went to the kitchen. I was leaning on the counter waiting for their order to be ready ,I couldn’t help but stare at the man, he was so handsome, probably the most sexiest and gorgeous looking man I’ve ever seen in my life, he had dark hair, his eyes were ocean blue, his jawline was sharp, his shoulder were long and strong, letting everyone who look at him know that he works out

(He looked like some Greek god)

*************************

I Placed down their order and went back to serve other tables.

It was getting dark, but something seemed strange. The three people were still here,

they drank their beer and water, but they were still sitting, over 6 hours, they would go to the

bathroom and return, the curly hair guy would order different kinds of candy and snacks

every once in a while

“This is weird “I told Pagie

“What? “She asked

“Those people, they were here for over six hours”

“So? “

“So…...Why? “

“Not our business Sophia, get back to work, we don’t need problems

With the manager “she told me, she was right, it was none of my business

“There are no table to serve, everyone’s gone except for them “I told her

“Whatever, I’m gonna go clean upstairs, you clean up here, see you “she went on her way

“See you “

As I was about to grab the broom, someone come in, I looked up

to see a man wearing glasses and holding a laptop in his hand, he

stood and looked around until he walked over to the three people.

(So, they were waiting for someone, but for six hours.)

I went over to them again to get the new man’s order; “I…I’m fine

“He said before I got to ask him what he wants. I nodded at him

before walking away.I put on my AirPods and played Selena Gomez’s song and started

Cleaning, and while doing it I caught the handsome mysterious man looking

at me, then he looked away when I caught him, I continued working, cleaning

the table and wiped the windows.

Suddenly, they all got up and walked out, they left the money on the table,

200 dollars! What they ordered wasn’t above 70 bucks, I place all money

In the case, I don’t keep the chance, I don’t usually do that

“Hey, oh! they’re!? “Pagie said as she came down and started changing her clothes

“Yeh, minutes ago” I told her

“Okey, I guess I’ll be heading home, you need a ride? “She asked me

“Oh no thanks, I’m heading to the library “I said

“I see, see you tomorrow “and with that, she left

“bye”

*******************

I changed my clothes and closed the café; I packed up the garbage

and took it outside, as I was heading to the dustbin in the back of the café, I

heard a man whining, like he was getting beaten, I walked slowly to the dustbin,

only to find the three people earlier, beating the s**t out of the man who had the laptop.

I quickly hid behind the wall before they could see me.

“Please…. Sir…...don’t do this……. I have a f- “the poor man pleaded

He was cut off by a punch to his face by the mysterious man from earlier, I put

A hand to cover my mouth from gasping.

“Stop lying, you think we don’t know about your life, you don’t have a family,

You’re a f*****g r****t, r***d innocent girls for fun

“The girl with him said

“The r****g matter is another issue Victoria, we’ll deal with it later,

Now back to our topic, you stole from us Sean, and you thought we wouldn’t know”.

The man said and punched him again

The man fell to the ground, blood all over his face

The mysterious guy stretched out his hand to the curly hair guy behind,

he pulled out three knives out of his pocket and handed them to him

He threw the first knife, the man screamed when the knife stabbed his leg

“This…... is for stealing from us”. He said and threw another knife

at him, to his shoulder, the man screamed out of pain

“And this is for r****g those girls”

“And this is for lying about it, don’t think you could betray the ROMANO and

Run away with it “

He said as he threw the last knife, it came right through his forehead,

He stopped whining and fell to the ground,

Completely silent

(he was dead, he killed him, they killed him)

Without realizing. I had already let out a loud scream, they all

Turned to me, I put my hand on my mouth and started running, as fast

As I could, but it was late, too late, I felt a strong arm wrapped around me,

Wasit and a hand covering my mouth.

You…… weren’t supposed to see that…” I could’ve seen the mysterious man from the corner of my eye whispering to my ear, but it didn’t last too long, I lost sight of everything and fainted to hid arms…
