Chapter 42 - Anne, Lisa and Carol's past (10)

When Lisa's mum noticed that the car in front of hers was still blocking her, she tried to reverse whilst thinking of what to do next because the road that she was driving in was one-way and the only option was the road to her right but to get into that road she had to proceed a few kilometers and then take a right turn, which was very much impossible at this moment. However, she couldn't proceed to reverse because another car was also blocking her behind. She didn't know what else to do besides stopping, tried hooting but the cars didn't move, she then began to search for her cell phone so that she could dial the police, the moment she found it and as she was still dialing the police's number with shivering hands, someone was already by her window pointing a gun right at her head. It was because of the heat of the moment which caused her to forget to close it, also it's what Lisa had requested, she wanted some fresh air coming from the driver's side.

"If you move an inch I will blow your brains first, followed by that of the sleeping beauty next to you." The man, who was holding the gun, lowered his head a bit so that he and Lisa's mum could communicate face to face. This man's mouth and nose were covered with a mask, making his voice sound strange and scary.

Both, mouth and eyes wide open looking at the man, Lisa's mum froze for a moment she didn't know what to say. Later she then began to blurt some words that almost everyone in such a situation would probably say.

"Wha…who…who…are…who sent you. If… I…it's…mo…money I can give you (speaking fast) tell your boss that I can even double the amount. Any…anything, anything you want I can give you…don't shoot please."

"Tsk, drop the act, just do as I say, or else next year this time, there is going to be grass taller than you growing on your graves. Do you understand Susan?" Said the man, sounding annoyed by Lisa's mum.

(Hands raised, trembling) "oh…o-okay…bu…buh…but please don't kill us." Said Lisa's mum with gestures that showed that she had no intention of going against what the man had said and felt like she was losing air.

"That's up to you. Now slowly, unlock the doors," instructed the man.

Lisa's mum unlocked the doors and in no time a cloth containing a drug was pressed right on her nose and she blacked out. The man quickly lifted her and carried her to the car that was in the front. As for Lisa, because she was in a very deep sleep, she didn't even hear anything or show any sign of discomfort. There was another man who was waiting close to Lisa's door and right at the moment when the doors were opened, he, smoothly took Lisa into his arms and carried her to the front car too, because she was pregnant, he didn't drug her too. Thanks to the pregnancy, as long she didn't feel any discomfort or irritation she would sleep until the following day. One man from the car that was behind, came and removed Lisa and her mum's belongings after moving the car a bit so that the car that was blocking from behind could proceed forward. He then came back and put Lisa's mum's car at the center blocking other cars to proceed.

After the whole process of exchange and transfer, both cars quickly sped for some kilometers then took a left turn that was leading to the West, after a couple of kilometers as they were about to take another left, the car behind had to slow down a bit and the one in the front quickly proceeded and after some kilometers, it began to slow down because, the place they were in the road was so dusty, bumpy and also it was leading to an isolated area. Then after driving for a while, the driver took a road that led to the mountain top and after 30 minutes the car was in front of a huge black gate that didn't allow anything inside to be seen. The gate automatically opened and the driver drove inside. Each car had three men in total so just the moment, when the driver parked outside, two men came out of the car and carried Lisa's mum and then the driver followed and he led the other two to the door, the moment he was by the door, it automatically opened, that's because it used face recognition to open and this one had a specialty to recognize each person's eyes which is why even with masks on, the door still open. They got inside the huge and luxurious house and the men that were carrying Lisa and her mum smoothly sat both of them on one big beautiful black couch and after that, they both stood close to the entrance, the driver was in front of the other two who were standing at the back a bit one on his left and another on the right. Their hands were at their backs and all their fingers locked together, their faces were facing the same direction and their rate of blinking their eyes was like it had reduced. In a few minutes, a doctor came, he first checked to see if Lisa was okay, then checked her mother too. In a few minutes, a man dressed in a classy, expensive black three-piece suit and shiny black shoes walked in and walked to where the doctor was checking Lisa and her mum.

"How are they?" Asked the man as he was squatting in front of Lisa running his hand on her cheek smoothly.

"They are all fine and in five minutes they must be waking up, I gave them something to help with that. Don't worry what I gave her (pointing to Lisa) will not harm her nor the baby." Said the doctor after he noticed the deadly eye that the man had given him.

"You may go," said the man to the doctor looking indifferent, his expression looked like he was angry but he wasn't frowning he was angry in a somewhat composed manner. The man kept on caressing Lisa's cheek, it seemed like he was smiling though he didn't want to show it, his expression this time had changed and was now different from before.

"ummah," said Lisa, who was turning her head and that's when she felt a hand moving on her cheek. She opened her eyes because she was still sleepy, she couldn't see things properly and the images in her eyes were a bit blurry. "Henry, is that you?" Said, Lisa touching the back of the man's hand, pressing and rubbing it against her cheek.

"Sweetheart seems you were so comfortable, you even had to dream of that good for nothing," said the man still squatting and looking at Lisa's face. After he spoke that's when it occurred to Lisa that the person in front of her wasn't her loving Henry.

(Startled and confused)"You, you are not Henry…" said Lisa moving her body away from the man.

"Huh, of course, does this place look like somewhere people like him could be found?" Said the man after he had sat on a single couch that was facing the one Lisa and her mother were sitting on.

(Looking around, freaking out) "Who are you, (pointing at the three men standing close to the entrance) who are they, where are we, (shaking her mum and almost breaking down) what did you do to my mum?"

Before the man could answer, Lisa's mum had woken up, because of the drug her senses were a bit fuzzy, she kept on rubbing her eyes and also looking around trying to familiarize herself with the place.

(Checking to see if nothing was wrong) "Mum, do you feel pain anywhere, are you okay?" Asked Lisa sounding very troubled.

"No, but where are we?" Asked Lisa's mum who was finding it difficult to familiarize herself with the environment she was in.

"I…I also have no idea ask this man," she said pointing at the man who was sitting on the couch. That's when her mum, lifted her head and managed to grasp a bit of what was going on.

The man didn't want to wait for another sequence of boring questions so he spoke.

(Folding arms) "Before your questions start to annoy me more, let's talk about why you are here. The thing is I want you to give Luiza to me…"

"Huh," said Lisa and her mum, with their eyes and mouths wide open. They couldn't believe their ears.

"I hate repeating myself, both of you are not daft and dumb, I am waiting for my answer right now."

"I am not some item that can be exchanged or sold," said Lisa with an angry voice.

"Why should I give my child to a stranger who just kidnapped us, do I look stupid to you?"

"To you Luiza, I have no ill intentions, all I want is to take care of you and the child. To you Susan, I have nothing to tell a fool like you. (Stern face) Now can you give me the answer that I want?"

"No, I am not going anywhere with you, I don't know you and how is it possible that you just want to take care of someone else's pregnancy for free? What do you want?" Asked Lisa very anxious and also looking around to see if she can find something to hit the head of the man sitting in front of her but she couldn't find any.

"Who said that the pregnancy is not mine?"

"Meaning?" Asked Lisa more confused.

"You heard me, and I am still waiting for the answer. I can force you but I did that once and it's not my style to do the same thing twice."
