" Oops! … I'm sorry" I apologized to the man I bumped into and moved to the side a little. Where is abena!!!?
I have been waiting for my friend Abena for the past twenty minutes, she's used to keeping people waiting.
" Abena , I don't think I can wait here anymore . I think this car is trailing me . Meet me at our spot ".
I texted Abena and started to walk away from where I was standing initially, I kept looking back and back and this goddamn car kept following me . I think I'm in danger.
I started to speed up the pace, running and running with no direction . I ran into a store breathing heavily, I walked to the cloth section and picked an oversized black hoodie and put it on . I wore the hood and sat down for a while , I was already tired .
I'm just going to have to wait here till they leave. I stood up and started walking around the store so as not to look suspicious, I still kept the hood on .
A man in a suit approached me . I looked down from his neatly polished shoes to his neatly ironed suit pants to his Fancy and expensive suit jacket and to his face . He is wearing a nose mask , his hands folded behind him.
" Follow me" he said in his husky male voice.
" Why should I?" I asked , my heart almost beating out of my chest .
" I don't like to talk much, " he said, still maintaining his balanced position.
" Get away from me or I will scream" I gathered courage to reply before kicking him hard in the knee and attempting to run.
He didn't even bulge, I guess my kick wasn't hard enough to hurt him. I felt his strong grip on my left arm , he slowly turned me and pulled me closer to him . He opened his suit jacket and brought out a gun. He placed the cold metal on my ribs and smiled , trying to avoid attention from the other people in the store .
" Ok" I replied and gave up , following him out of the store .
He led me into the car that has been trailing me all evening. There were two other men in the car , the car screens were tinted , I could barely see the outside through the back window .
The man who led me into the car tied my hands to the back and also taped my mouth . I was already really tired and sweaty from all the running , foolish of me to think I could outrun a car .
" Drive " the man said and the car started to move .
I had a lot of questions in my mind . Where the f**k are these guys taking me to ? Why were they after me ? What did I do ? What the hell is happening? Am I dreaming or something? As soon as my hands are untied I will pinch every part of my body.
I knew my father was involved in some very dangerous businesses with dangerous people before he died. I thought they made my whereabouts secret enough , how did they find me ? What the fuck is happening?
" Hey !! Getup!" That same husky voice woke me . I guess I feel asleep. He untied my hands and removed the tape from my lips forcefully, that hurt.
I didn't forget, I started to pinch myself really hard .
" Get down, " he said , stepping out of the car . I did what I was told to and followed the man . As much as I hate the miserable life I have lived , I do not want to die . Maybe this is actually an opportunity for my life to change , I just hope these guys don't kill me in the end .
I think this is an airport . We walked into the airport and walked through a door , a man in a fancy suit and white Gloves greeted us .
" Good evening sirs and miss," he said.
I just smiled in the return . He walked us towards a plane and I just followed the men into the plane . I walked inside and found a man in gray suit pants and a blue shirt with rolled up sleeves eating a really fancy American dish . Hmmm my mouth watered for the meal , I haven't eaten a meal this good since I left America.
" Good job … take the girl inside, " the man said . I'm starting to think this is a private jet .
He led me into a really fancy bedroom. The man who abducted me from the store asked me to stay here and showed me the bathroom also before he finally left .
I landed on the soft foam and almost slept off when the same man walked in with a plate of food in his hands and bottled water .
" Hey eat this " he said, placing the food and the water on the table and walking out.
Mac and cheese, I'm so happy. I haven't eaten this since I left America. I rushed the food quickly and thought of showering before I went to sleep. It's so funny how I'm so comfortable with these men , whatever they do with me just has to be better than the life I lived before now.
I removed my clothes without considering that anyone could enter . I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower letting the cold water wash all the sweat off my body . Just then I remembered Abena , I needed to call her . She has to make sure mama uses her drugs.
I rushed out of the bathroom and picked up a neatly folded towel I found in the bathroom, tied it around my body and went into the room to search my pockets for my phone .
Omg it's nowhere to be found , maybe those grumpy men took it . It must have fallen while I was running, it was in my back pocket . Now I'm stranded with several men , in an airplane with no means of contacting Abena or mama.
The man walked in again.
" Are you fine ?" He asked me, seeing my worried expression.
Wow. First time he used appropriate words with me .
" What is your name ?" I asked , completely disregarding his question.
" I can't tell you that ma'am "
" Why ?" I asked him , confused.
