OTIS
She was shown a room where the man asked her to shower and get some rest after giving her a robe and towel. Minutes later, she was in the shower and she saw for the first time the cuts on her body and her boobs as she felt the stinging sensation the water had on her wounds. Washing away the dirt and dried blood, she flinched in pain as the water made contact with her cuts. Washing her way down, she discovered dried blood on her Virginia's lips. It then occurred to her that she had lost her virginity that night. Though she felt sore in both openings, she admitted she enjoyed the experience, and wondered if an aphrodisiac was what was added to her drink because she was turned on all through the sexual acts. Before she knew what she was doing and to her greatest surprise, she found herself inserting a finger, then two inside her Virginia.
Exiting the shower after about 15 minutes, she tied the robe and lay on the bed. Wondering what had happened to her, she found it hard to believe, she killed a man and felt nothing. What happened to her sense of humanity? Well, as long as she took her vengeance on Mona whatever it was that had made her to be emotionless was welcomed.
If there was anything she had learned during this saga, it was how to betray someone when least expected. Mona had befriended her only to get her kidnapped and sold into sex slavery about five days later.
Her late mistress had spent a fortune purchasing her, treated her nicely promised her her freedom, and even made love to her. While behind all those sweet voice promises and lovemaking, she was only a pawn to be sacrificed after a greater evil plot had been achieved.
This was the strategy she would use against Mona. Paying her on her own.
The time was 08:15 am he had been up since 4:am after just a few hours of sleep. He had been following and monitoring events of the previous night when he noticed the girl tip-toe behind him. "How was your night Otis?" he asked making her pause in her tracks. "I don't remember telling you my name!" she asked him in response, Turning to face her, he saw how beautiful she was despite having just woken up from sleep. On the other hand, he knew the girl's psyche had been severely damaged or altered by her captors. Hence he had to tread carefully with her.
"Come here" he motioned to her before adding "Have a seat" indicating the couch directly opposite him.
"You must be hungry?" he asked her as she sat holding onto her robe.
"Do you have food in this house? You don't strike like someone who has time to cook. You stay alone?" she asked him rather than answer his question as she looked around the room as though she was observing the living room. He smiled in admiration of her cockiness and sarcasm. There was just something about her that reminded him of someone special he would like her to meet. "So tell me, how were you abducted?" he changed to a more serious demeanor so the girl could take him seriously. "My friend sold me….." she went on to explain how everything happened and how she got to be bought by Alexandra Adams.
"…and then you showed up gun blazing, and I had to save your life from a huge man" she concluded while finding it expedient to remind him she played a part too in their escape. Ignoring her last remark about saving his life he began "So you've been on TV and I happened to watch the news in the evening. I'm sorry Sola died. Perhaps that was the reason I decided to help you because, for one, you would have been killed since your Mistress, sorry since Alexandra had been killed. They would have wanted to cover any loops that might lead to the real story getting to the press. So I believe you understand why I said you have to lay low and let me ensure no one is looking for you. I'll personally take you to Cantina to ensure your safety" he said to her before picking up his phone from the table. Handing it over to her, he asked her to call her parents and tell them she was okay and would be coming back soon. Collecting the phone, she dialed her dad's number…
"Hello?" she heard her dad's voice on the other end. All the while, she never really believed this man as she had already learned not to trust easily, but hearing her dad's voice on the other end of the phone made her eyes become teary and she lost her voice
"Hello..!!" her dad sounded out for the second time
With a teary tone, she said "Falk jaà" (meaning my father in Cantinan). Though English was just about the only language spoken by her and her younger siblings back at home, growing up she had the language from her mother and had always called her dad Falk whenever she needed a favor from him
"Otis" she heard him scream into the phone despite the fact her voice wasn't clear and was more of a whisper.
"Yes Daddy she managed to answer"
"Where are you? Are you ok? What happened? "Why are you crying?" Otis talked to me.
She kept on crying and couldn't say anything making him rise and collect the phone from her.
"Hello sir.." he decided to talk to her dad
"Hello… Who are you? what do you want? Please don't hurt my daughter. How much are you demanding?"
"Your daughter is safe, she's coming back soon," said and ended the call.
"He'll call back" she managed to say while still sobbing,
"Only if he has the number to call" he replied indicating the number was hidden.
Just then the program on TV switched to a breaking news item and the broadcaster said: Breaking news, Billionaire Banker and oil baron, Minister A. A. Adams, and his daughter, Alexandra Adams assassinated. Minister Adams who celebrated his sixtieth birthday anniversary yesterday was said to have been assassinated alongside his daughter by unknown gunmen just hours after his birthday party on his private Island.
We do not have any report about his son Fred Adams, who is said to have survived the attack.
"So what are your plans when you get back home?" he asked her.
"Kill Monalisa," she said point blank.
"Ok… But what's gonna be your story? How do you plan on achieving that without going to jail for murder? What's gonna be your story concerning your abduction?" he asked sensing vengeance was just about the only thing on her mind.
"I dunno. But you'll help me, right? I saved your life remember?" she asked reminding him yet again she killed the huge man.
"Our first plan is the story to come up with concerning who kidnapped you and how you escaped or how you were saved. We don't want you anywhere near that scene" he said referring to the Island.
"But helping you means, you're gonna be working with me and for me. You'll follow my instructions religiously and take my words as your gospel. If you can do that, then we're good" he said, pausing to let her digest what he had just told her.
"I'm ready to do whatever you want as long as I kill her," she said
"Otis, this goes beyond just killing Monalisa. You might not do anything to her for a long time to come as you might just have to go close to her and pretend to be her pal. I need certain information about the Hornets and Monalisa being a member, and you having witnessed their cruelty, should understand the need to crush the group.
"What are saying?" she asked wanting to be sure she understood him perfectly
"You're going to join Monalisa in her trade. You're going to get all the information about the Hornets and their mode of operations. You'll only get your vengeance when she least expects the same way she sold you when you least expected. You'll have people to work with and to protect you but in all, you'll remain low and unknown. You'll have a team under your command plus all the protection you might ever need. In all, you'll be working for me.
"You haven't told me your name?" she digressed again.
"Go to the kitchen and make breakfast for yourself.
"I need clothes and undergarments," she said as she stood up and headed into the kitchen. He just chuckled without saying anything to her.
