"There's a group of policemen and two of them are FBI on surveillance duty, Zayn." explained Ellyn---the woman who had previously taken care of me. Ellyn calmly and charismatically stood in front of me, while I just sat down.
"So, they want to negotiate?" Zayn asked while scratching his chin. He was seated in a rather large office chair that added to his sense of grandeur. He moved his forefinger and Ellyn looked over to him. Now, the dialog is a secret. I just silent and thought, being trapped in an office building with 1 Mafia leader and 3 of his subordinates isn't too bad because when it comes to numbers, I win hands down. My 5 friends and I were kidnapped 2 days after they kidnapped Ryan and Lewis while investigating. Logically, we still had hope. Geographically, this building is also in the center of the city. It was too bold for them if they decided to attack. Okay, no need to get frustrated.
Suddenly, Zayn walked towards me. I looked up to see his face, he then squatted in front of me, "Zeluna, you're an agent, right." I nodded, he frowned, "can you negotiate with your friend and ask for a bulletproof vest." I nodded again. I started to negotiate and got an offer that was in line with Zayn's wishes.
One of his hostages took the vest and returned. "Zayn, they're on the 3rd floor." Ellyn informed me in a panicked tone. Haha, I know right.
"Calm down, Ellyn," Zayn said. His eyes turned back to me, "We have Zeluna."
"Why me." I asked in a high tone. Not to be condescending, it's just too loud in here.
"You'll know, later." Zayn replied shortly.
What a bastard.
I scowled, I wasn't that stupid. He's either going to use me as negotiating material or worse he's going to renege on the negotiations by killing me. Ellyn untied my ties and helped me up, as did the others. I saw one of Zayn's subordinates tidying up something I didn't know.
Zayn lit the lighter and lit a cigarette, he was too relaxed for this kind of situation. He inhaled the smoke deeply, "the result of the negotiation is clear. Ryan, you can go with Lewis. I think his leg is broken."
I was stunned, the result of the negotiation was only for Lewis, but Ryan was released. Meanwhile, as much as I know, Zayn hates Ryan. What was the point of all this. "Lewis, take all these vests. I think the government is a little stingy on facilities like this. " I saw Ryan stand up and carry Lewis and the bag with the vest, he walked towards the emergency exit, passing us first. I clearly saw the hateful look in his eyes for Zayn as he passed Zayn by the door.
Ryan stopped his steps and muttered with emphasis, "I'm going to kill you." Meanwhile, I saw Zayn just laugh and retorted, "don't try to fix a table that isn't broken."
My friend Ashlyn gaped at Zayn's words until Luna and I looked over, "what's wrong, Leen." She squeezed her thigh, "I can't stand it, Zel. He's so charming, he's like the prince I've been waiting for all these years."
Luna looked away, "it would be wrong for you to ask Ashlyn, Zel."
I just smiled reluctantly, I forgot she had Mattpadd syndrome. Where she yearns for a cold man, a mobster or even a cold psychopath to fall in love with her and turn into a good person. I admit, she has a great and wild imagination. 4 minutes later, Ellyn told us to go to the rooftop, of course with the three of them too. Zayn was at the front, she was in the middle next to Ashlyn and chatting while the other was at the back.
We arrived at the rooftop, the wind blowing my hair into a mess. I look up at the sky that looks beautiful tonight, I remember my mom who Zayn kidnapped. I hope this ends well even though I don't know the main reason Zayn did this.
"The moon is beautiful, isn't it." Zayn came over to me and joined me in looking at the sky.
I just nodded. I looked at his face, "Zayn, how do you think this will end." Zayn grinned, like he knew the meaning of my question.
He looked back at the sky, "I believe it's a happy ending." "But, should I believe you." I responded.
"It's all your right." he replied coldly.
Zayn left us, he went down to the previous floor with Ellyn. I saw a helicopter coming and approaching us, I looked closely at the people inside until I found out they were in police uniforms. Luna immediately pulled me towards the helicopter and away from here. I've never done this and moreover it's very high up. Let alone climbing up with a rope, just standing on the edge of this building makes my body weak and nauseous. Luna yelled for me to climb up but I remained silent. I finally decided to venture out for my mom when the helicopter started to move away.
I was going to leave here and find my mom who was kidnapped by Zaynshitty. I climbed up slowly but steadily, until I almost reached the helicopter's perch. However, my shoe fell off and made me reflexively look down. My hands began to sweat coldly and I sensed that I was about to fall and I chose to close my eyes.
Snaptt.
A hand grabbed my wrist, I looked up but didn't see the figure that saved me. The hand firmly pulled my body upwards and I ended up sitting limply on the door of the helicopter. My vision was blurry and my stomach was in knots.
"Zeluna, are you okay?" asked Ellyn.
Aha, it was still them.
I put my body back, it was Zayn who helped me. I moved to the seat on the left side. "I'm fine, but someone has balm here?"
"We shouldn't, but I know your bad habits, Zel. Let me massage you." said Luna who started to approach me. She patiently massaged my neck to my stomach. I looked around, they were all looking at me strangely.
I just enjoy Luna's massage.
Bruggh-bruggh!
Bamm!
We were shocked, and found out where the sound was coming from. I peeked out the window and saw the building we'd been in exploded and shattered. It was on the 3rd floor, where the cops and FBI and of course Ryan blew up.
