When Lila woke up, her feet was sore and she didn’t feel comfortable at all. Until she opened her eyes properly before she knew, she was in a deserted dark place. Her hands were chained to a pole behind her and her legs were tied with chains. A cloth was tied against her mouth. She felt a pang of headache and her whole body ached. Why? She suddenly remembered how she was at the hospital to get her mum then she went to the bathroom, there was tall figure in black hovering behind her and when he hit her and covered her nose, she passed out.
She began to scream through her covered mouth but it came out as mumbles. She wriggled her tied self. She didn’t know what she was doing but she couldn’t be here alone. What the hell ! She should have listened to Lannon. What was she thinking? As she kept on struggling and thinking, a bright light shun ahead of her and she was hearing faint sound, like the sound of a moving train. She tried to fathom what the light was until, voom! A train passed her with great speed.
The train body scratched her legs which was out towards the rail and she quickly recoiled in fear, taking her legs back. Once the train passed her completely she began to scream even though it came out as mumbles she still screamed. She was scared. They left her at a rail point? Christ! Who the hell could do this?
Few minutes later and another train sped passed her. She almost died of heart attack. While she thought of how to remove the cloth off her mouth and how to possibly do something about her escape, she saw a squirrel walk up to her. It was holding something like a walkie talkie in its mouth. She was confused because the squirrel stopped at where she was. It dropped the walkie talkie on her thighs and then, it seemed to say something. She closed her eyes to know if all this was a dream but by the time she opened her eyes the squirrel was gone. Huh!
She looked down at the walkie talkie on her thighs and she was more than confused. What was she going to do with it, with her tied hands. Another train sped passed her and she didn’t even know when a tear slipped down her cheek. Was this how she was going to die. ‘ Anybody, someone please help me’ she prayed in her mind and she was there for like another thirty minutes with trains still speeding pass and soon, she slept off.
Meanwhile at the gala, there, was worried Lannon. For he was confused on how Lila was so quick to escape before he even gave out the order. He had so many problems at hand. Why couldn’t she just listen to him? There was uncle Mascow being kidnapped by their rival agency. That was the reason he left the house earlier that morning. They were asking for a huge ransom. It was a usual game they played but he never thought it would ever involve his uncle. Now Lila was also out of his sight. Could anything go better for him that day?
He quickly called Douglas and the man came running foward.
“Search for her. Take your boys with you. I want her found before midnight”he ordered, then he whispered.”Do not inform anybody about these. Apart from your boys”he said and Douglas nodded before quickly going out.
First, Lannon had to go get his uncle and then probably deal with Lila once she was found. He called the organisers of the gala and informed them he was leaving so they had to carry on. Now again, the reason for uncle Mascow holding the gala was not even close to accomplished because he’d been kidnapped. Pathetic!
He was in his car in a few minutes and them he ignited it and sped off immediately with the huge amount of money he’d withdrawn earlier seated on the passengers seat behind him. This wasn’t what he planned for a day like this!
***
Now, there was Sam and Lila’s mum still waiting for Lila at the hospital parking lot. It had been up to thirty minutes and she was not still out. Sam was worried but she didn’t let it out so it won’t bother Lila’s mum. In her mind she had two thoughts. It was either Lila had been kidnapped by Lannon again or Lila decided to ditch them. No scratch the last suggestion, it was only the first that could be possible. What else could probably be the reason she hadn’t come to meet them? And when, she went to the restroom earlier to look for her she wasn’t even there. Where the hell was she?
While they still waited for some few more minutes, Sam decide to go drop off Lila’s mum at her house, then go and search for her best friend. Maybe starting by looking for Lannon. He must have a meaningful explanation.
So, she quickly entered her car, while adjusting Lila’s mum properly on the car seat and then, she sped off.

It was the sound of the walkie talkie that woke sleeping Lila up again.
“Tune five, tune five” she kept hearing from the walkie talkie. The day was now extremely dark, not even a train passed. It was probably deep in the night.
“Tune two, over, over”she heard again.
She made mumbles sound just in case anyone could hear her through the talkie but instead, she heard her name.
“Lila…”
Her eyes widened and she began to mumble again. Her throat burned and she kept wriggling so maybe her hand could possibly get freed from the chain.
“Look at your left”she heard again. It was a male voice.
Her heart beat increased immediately as she looked at the left where the person ordered her to look. She finally realised the person talking was the person that probably kidnapped her. She couldn’t even see anything when she looked because of the darkness and she had issues with it.
“Look closely”he ordered again.
She strained her eyes and finally, she could see a tall figure walking towards her in slow and steady steps. While she was still trying to capture everything about the person coming towards her, a dagger from nowhere suddenly landed on her left shoulder side.
The stinging pain she felt was so brutal. She couldn’t even scream all she could do was widen her eyes in pain as tears fell from her eyes freely. When she looked at the dagger peirced in her shoulder, on its body was written something. She looked closely and finally she was able to get it. She spelled it out slowly in her mind, till she finally gasped realising it was ‘Rodger’ she spelt out.
“Yes that’s right Lila. No, miss Lila”she heard the voice from the walkie talkie again.”it’s me. Rodger!”the person finalised and her eyes widened in extra shock as her heart beat increased and her blood pressure became high.
