Episode 6

By: Faith Lucky.

Jeremy’s Pov:
I was fixing up something in my room when my phone suddenly rang up and I checked and discovered it was my brother – DC.

I picked up and made sure there was nob©dy around.

“Hey bro” I said on the phone and sat on the be-d.

“Jeremy, you’re nee-ded back at the mansion. We’ve got an emergency” he said and I sighed and to-uched my forehead.

Another job?
I really nee-ded some time off.

“An old @$$ociate just called in for a job and it’s a code red” he said.

Oh! Code red?
That means the victim would have to be killed after the job was done.

‘Who’s it?’ I asked.
‘It’s someone you know. We’re to abduct her’, he replied.
Wait, what does he mean it’s someone I know?

‘Who’s it, bro?’ I asked and my heart gave a mighty leap when I heard him say…
‘Alyssa ………’

What?
Alyssa?

I sprang on my feet immediately and scoffed.
‘A… Alyssa?’ I repeated over the phone.

‘Yes, Jeremy, and since you’re there with her, you’ve been @$$igned got abduct and bring her in.’[
Oh God!
This is not happening.
Alyssa?
Why her of all people?
And why do I have to be the one to abduct her?
Oh God!

‘Hey, Jeremy; are you with me?’ he asked, but I couldn’t say a word as I ran my fin-gers throu-gh my her.

‘Jeremy!’ he half-yelled and I sighed and planked myself on the be-d.
‘Who’s the client?’ I asked.

ALYSSA’S POV
Mico’s silence was really driving me crazy. I was still looking for a way to get him to un-derstand and forgive me. His cousins told me it will only be temporary because that’s how Mico acts when he is upset.
But, I really can’t have him stay mad at me. When will it be over?

I was lying on my be-d thinking about him when a text suddenly entered my phone. I checked immediately, hoping it was Mico and … it was him.
Well, it seemed to be him.

‘Meet me behind the Med Lab. It’s Mico’ the message re-ad.
But it was from a different number. Well, maybe that explains why his other lines have been unreachable. Anyway, I couldn’t think much about it. The most important thing was he wanted to see me.

I sprang on my feet and found something suitable to wear. I really hope my meeting with him turns out fine.
Then, after this, I’ll never do anything to make him mad at me again, I’ll never keep any secrets from him again, I’ll try my best to be a perfect girlfriend.

I left the dome and headed outside for the med lab. I was so excited. At least, Mico wants to talk to me.

I arrived behind the med lab which seemed quiet, but there was no sign of Mico here.
I ru-bbe-d my palms together and hoped he gets here soon.

Just then, I saw a car drive to where I was. Could it be Mico?
I watched as the driver stopped and c@m£ out of the car and ………it was Jeremy.
Huh? Why is he here?

He c@m£ out of the car looking broody and all and I tried to un-derstand why he was here.

‘Jeremy?’ I called as he drew closer to me.
‘Wh…What are you doing here?’ I asked and took a step back.
He to-uched his head and sighted.
‘Alyssa’, he called and moved close to me again.
‘There is something you should know.’[
Okay, what is Jeremy driving at? Maybe i should get out of here before Mico sees us and misun-derstands me again.

I tried walking away but he held me back and I flin-ched.
‘What are you doing?’ I asked, confused, and he just looked into my face.
‘I’m sorry, Alyssa’ he muttered and di-pped his hand into his pocket, bringing out a napkin.
I winced and tried wr iggling my hand out of his, but before I could say a word, he put it over my nose and I started g-asping for breath. He turned and made me lean on his b©dy and after struggling to no avail, I finally dozed off.

***
I woke up and felt myself lying on the floor.

I opened my eyes but the whole place was still dark.
I tried moving but couldn’t.
I couldn’t even sit up.

It seems my eyes, hands and legs were tied.

And wait..my mouth too. I couldn’t open myl-ips and I could feel something like a band around it.

Oh, God!
Where am I?
How did I end up here?

Where’s Jeremy?
I can recall him putting a napkin around my nose and then, I p@$$ed out.

Oh, my God!
Does this mean Jeremy…

I struggled to sit up, but couldn’t.
I couldn’t even say a word.
And I couldn’t see a thing.

I was so scared.
My breath was rou-gh.

Where could I be?
Not long after, I heard a door open and I think it must have been the door to the room I was staying because I also heard some footsteps and little voices.

My fear increa-sed when I felt a hand hold me and sat me up.

Then, the blindfold on my eyes were taken off and I could see everything now.

What?
Where am I?

I shivered as I stared at the guys in front of me.

There were about five of them and three were armed.

Oh, God!

Then one of them who I guess to be the one that had taken the blindfold off my eyes, rou-ghly re-moved the band that was tied on my mouth.

I whimpered immediately, realising I could now speak.

“Pl…plea-se. don’t hurt me. Let me go. I haven’t done anything. I…I think you’ve got the wrong person.
plea-se…have pity on me” I cried and one of them who seemed the boss, sniggered and squ-atted in front of me.

“No, miss Alyssa; there’s no way I’ve got the wrong person” he said and my fear increa-sed.

So, he really knows me?
And they did all these on purpose?

But what have I done?
And…and is Jeremy involved in this?

“Wh…what do you want from me?” I sobbe-d.
“plea-se let me go. I’ll pay any amount you ask for”.

He scoffed and looked into my face. But I couldn’t stare back at him.

“Don’t worry, Alyssa. I don’t nee-d your money.
But there is something I nee-d from you” he said softly and my eyes dimmed.

What was he talking about?

I for-ced myself to have a look at his face and he smiled croakily.

“But, don’t worry; it’ll all be over by tomorrow” he added and my anxiety increa-sed.

Oh, God!
what is going on?

“Anyway” he continued.
“I’ve got some place to be right now.
But don’t worry, I’ll be back before the fun begins.

“So, while I’m away, I’ll be keeping you in my brother’s care.
He might look familiar to you.
But let’s see if you know him”.

Just then, the door opened and Jeremy walked in.

Oh, God!

Jeremy?

I g-asped in shock and my eyes dilated.

No;
This should be a dream.
It’s all a dream.
A nightmare.
I looked at him as he walked in and stood a little distance away and a tear escaped my eye.

Was this for real?
Jeremy was a gangster?
And he had abducted and brou-ght me here?

But for what reason?
What have I done to them?

His brother stood up and turned to him.

“I’m leaving now, Jeremy. You know what to do” he told him and left the room.

It was just Jeremy and I and two other armed guys and he couldn’t even look at me.

“Bring her to the room” he said to the two boys and immediately, they Fred my hands and legs and dragged me up, leading me out of the empty place we were in.

Jeremy waited for us to go ahead and then he followed behind.

I was still transfixed in shock as the whole thing seemed to be happening too fast.

How could this happen?
Why did I have to fall into the hands of these people?
And why does it have to be Jeremy?

The two boys held me by the hand and led met throu-gh a long staircase and then we got into a room and they threw me in.

They left afterwards and Jeremy c@m£ in, but stood by the door.

I was shivering and soa-ked in fear.
Tears were pouring from my eyes.

I stood and stared at Jeremy, but he just kept his gaze on the floor.

Then he finally shut me a stare and turned to leave.
“Jeremy” I called tearfully and at the same time, shockingly and he stopped but didn’t turn around to look at me.

I continued weeping and whimpering and didn’t even know what to say.
Why does this have to happen to me?

“I’m sorry, Alyssa. But life always comes with surprises” he said un-der his breath and left the room.

I wept and tottered to the door and turned the knob, but it wouldn’t open.
It was obviously locked from outside.

There was a be-d in the room and I wondered why it was there.

I hit the door with my palms, wishing someone would open it up. I wanted to get out of here.
“plea-se let me out” I cried and hit it again.

Then, II sat on the floor and huddled my arms and legs together, busting into more tears.

Why did such misfortune have to be fall me?
What have I done?
And how could Jeremy do this to me?

So this was who he really was?
No wonder he kept his background hidden from everyone.

Now, how am I sure I’m even getting out of here? What could they possibly want from me?
And what does his brother mean by it’ll all be over by tomorrow?

What’s going to happen tomorrow?
Are they going to kill me?

Oh, God!

What have I done?
Why me?

Alyssa’s Pov:
I leaned on the door as the dizziness and weakness overwhelmed me.

I dropped on the floor and Jeremy c@m£ to me and carried me to the be-d.

The drugs were alre-adyalre-ady taking effect on me and I wss too weak to fight back.

“Jeremy, plea-se” I said tearfully as he placed me on the be-d and got on top of me again.

He k!$$£d my n£¢k and took off my shi-t and tears c@m£ rolling down my cheeks.

He s-ent his hands to my back and reached for the hook of my b*a .

I held his hands but it didn’t stop him from doing what he wanted.
He un-hooked my br@.

But just then, his phone started ringing.
He hit the be-d head and gro-an ed.

Then, he left me and brou-ght the phone out of his pocket and answered the call.

I sat up immediately and covered my b©dy with the duvet, still crying profusely.

“Yes?” He said on the phone, looking at me.

I had no idea whom he was talking to but he kind of looked troubled and couldn’t take his eyes off me.

He dropped the call and my heart started beating ra-pidly again.

I was still weeping uncontrollably.

He s-ent his fin-gers into his hair and faced the wall.

Then he turned back to me, his eyes looking red and so-re.

“I’m sorry” he said un-der his breath and flounced out of the room.

(Jeremy, don’t)

GRAND FINALE. Season_2
Episode 7

By: Faith Lucky

Mico’s Pov:
“Well do it properly if you don’t want to lose your job!” I interrupted angrily and kicked the table beside me.

Michael and Angelo c@m£ to me immediately.
“Calm down Mi…”

“Don’t tell me to calm down!” I said raucously and pushed their hands away.

I di-pped my fin-gers into my hair and sat on a stool.

Oh, Alyssa. Where are you?
What has happened to you?

Since last night, she’s been missing.
I had been angry about her lying to me and had stayed away from her for sometime.
But this morning, I decided to go to her room and talk to her, but surprisingly, she wasn’t there. And her dorm mates had confirmed she didn’t have dinner width them and they had all thought she was me.

We informed the securities about it immediately and they’ve been searching for her since then, but all to no avail.
She was nowhere to be found. And her line was not reachable.

The whole thing was just driving me crazy.
I nee-ded to see her. I nee-d her around.

I covered my face with my palm and breathed ha-rd.

Oh, Alyssa, plea-se.
I’m sorry for pushing you away.
Come back to me.
Where are you?

Alyssa’s Pov:
I can’t believe I was even able to fall asleep in this strange place.
But seriously, I was scared the whole while.

I woke up the next morning and stood by the window.
I wonder where I am.

The building was so big and it seemed I was in the 3rd sto-rey of the building. It’d be impossible to jump off.

I looked outside and saw a lot of armed men, moving around, mostly smoking and drinking.
So, Jeremy was this dangerous.
What’s going to happen to me now?

I thought of Mico.
Could he be looking for me now? Or could he still be mad at me?

I wish they could find out I’m here. But that’d be impossible. No one knows I’m here except Jeremy.

Oh, God!
Why does such misfortune have to be fall me?

Not long after, the door opened and a guy c@m£ in with a tray of food.

He kept it on the be-d and left without saying a word.

So, they even have intention of feeding me?

I moved closer to the food on the be-d and discovered it was Bagel and cream cheese.

I was starving and that was when I actually realised I had not eaten since the previous evening.

normally, I’m not supposed to eat this; but with the way I was, I was shaking and really nee-ded something to eat.

I sat on the be-d and faced the tray and then I started eating from it.

With how hungry I was, I was kind of rushing the food.
But after some time, Jeremy c@m£ in and I bec@m£ twitchy.

I stopped eating and looked at him as he walked up to the be-d and sat, facing me.

He signaled me to continue eating, but I didn’t.
I just took in some water and lowered my gaze.

But I was still hungry.

“You don’t have to be scared, Alyssa.” He said.
“plea-se, eat’.

Seriously? I don’t have to be scared?
When they’ve told me my life was at stake?

There was silence for a short time.

“What do you want with me, Jeremy?” I asked after a short while and he sighed.

“it isn’t me, Alyssa. I’ve nothing to do with this” he said.

“You…you were s-ent by someone?” I asked but he didn’t say a word.

I bent my head and sniffed.
Was the worst really going to happen to me?

Suddenly, I started feeling dizzy and it felt strange because I had just woken up.

The dizziness c@m£ with a slight headache and I wondered why I felt that way.
It c@m£ with a strong urge to sleep immediately.

Jeremy took the tray from the be-d and kept it on the table.
Then he returned to me and made me lie on the be-d.
Huh?
What’s going on?

My eyes were trying to close, but I for-cefully tried to keep them open.

Then, Jeremy also got on the be-d and Holy christ!
He got on top of me.
What?

“Jeremy?” I called weakly and tried holding his hands which were going for the ti-p of my shi-t.

“Don’t be scared, Alydsa. I’m not going to eat you up.” He said into my ears and my fears increa-sed.

God, plea-se.
This should not happen.
How can Jeremy think of doing this to me?

So, the food was actually poisoned?

He reached for my shi-t again and I held his hand.
But he pushed mine away and brou-ght the shi-t to my shoulder level.

I graoned and reached for a flower vest close to the be-d and luckily, I was able to get hold of it and hit him on the head with it.

He gro-an ed and lost his balance on me and I pushed him away and staggered on my feet.

The dizziness was coming, but I had to control it.

I managed to get to the door, but when I tried opening it, it wouldn’t.

I tried and tried but it couldn’t open up.

Oh, God!
It was definitely locked from outside.

I turned and looked at Jeremy who was alre-ady on his feet.

He was staring at me while using his palm to clean off a little blood stain on hisl-ips.

Oh, God!
Why does this have to happen?

How can Jeremy do this to me?
