Amelia, sensing that something was wrong immediately placed a call to Belle. She did not have time for greetings "Belle, find Ivanov" she gave the command as she left her office. Brittney stood up from her seat to follow after her, but she gave her the signal to stay back.
"What? Do I look like some human tracker?" Belle said in a tired voice "I think he was kidnapped" Amelia said as she got into the elevator. "What?" She heard Belle's shriek through the phone as she pressed on the button for the underground parking lot. "I heard a gunshot over the phone, but he sounded fine before ending the call on me" she said as the elevator moved.
Belle paused "But that's something you usually do" She said as she tilted her head and went back to turning on her computer "Exactly. That means something was wrong" Amelia replied as she got off the elevator "I'm heading over" she said and ended the call.
Belle wanted to give a reply, but she saw that dear Amelia had already ended the call "Yeah. I welcome you wholeheartedly to my home" she rolled her eyes and went back to what she was doing.
Milo was in a dark spacious room. Every little sound made would echo in the room because of the quietness.
Milo who was long awake tried opening his eyes, but he realized that he could not. He was blindfolded. Not only was he blindfolded, his hands were chained to the back of the chair he was seated on. He smirked and thought 'At least they were smart enough to use chains'.
"I see you're smiling" He heard a voice. He tilted his head and soon recognised that it was the leader of the group. He smiled even though he could not see the man, and the blindfold only made him look extremely sexy.
"I would be so proud of my brothers if I was kidnapped by a mafia" he said to them and paused before speaking again "But you guys seem too low to be considered a mafia to me" his face turned into a scowl after he said that. He seemed to want to provoke them in a way.
The leader rushed up to him and punched Milo in the face. His face wooped to the side and a hard crack was heard from his neck, and his lips bled from being burst. He took his head up and his mouth opened slightly, then he gave a deep laugh and looked forward like he was staring at the man who punched him "That's the best you've got?" He asked, and then slowly smirked.
Amelia had gotten to Belle's house. For someone who acted like she was living the lowest life, Belle lived in a house that could take up six people comfortably without any stress. She lived in the outskirts of town, which made it a long drive for Amelia.
Amelia got to Belle's gate and put in the passcode making the gate open wide for her. She smiled while the gate opened and then she walked in.
The passcode had always remained Amelia's birthday even when she never really came to Belle's house. 250196 had always been Belle's passcode.
Amelia walked into the house and looked around while taking off her mask. The place was as usual scattered, thanks to Belle's amazing way of being tardy. Amelia closed her eyes and bowed her head, and that was when Belle made her way to her.
"Hello, my love" Belle squeaked as she came to Amelia. Amelia looked up to see her sweaty in a crop top and joggers. When Belle wanted to throw herself at her, she immediately moved to the side making her friend to hug the air, but Belle did not loose her balance because of her good stamina.
Belle turned to her and gave her a harsh glare "What a good friend you are, Amelia" she huffed and stood straight. Amelia stared at her with a quizzy face "Were you dancing?" She asked because of how sweaty Belle was, and Belle flipped her hair "Yes, I was. Is there a problem?" She looked straight into Amelia's eyes, but Amelia was not in the mood for her mind games.
"That's not my problem. Have you found Milo?" Sha asked as she dropped her bag on the chair and moved to take the vacuum beside the arm chair in the living room. If she assumed right, the vacuum must have been there for over a week.
Belle gave a sigh "It was not as easy as you thought it would be, but because it was you, I did my very best" she smiled like a little child. "And you did that while dancing?" Amelia asked as she cleaned up the living room of dear Belle. Belle stretched out her arms, flexing her muscles a little bit "Dancing is art, and it's also an exercise and stress reliever for me. How's that my fault?" She asked and gave a slight 'hmm' in Amelia's direction before moving to the kitchen to get something for her.
She looked around and saw that she only had Korean noodles. She looked in the direction of Amelia who was still cleaning, then back to the noddles. She never really went out for groceries because she lived far from the store, and when she did, she'd only buy noodles. She always ordered in when she wanted to eat real food and that always took about an hour.
She felt bad because it was the first time in a long while Amelia came to her house and she had no decent meal to give her.
She looked at Amelia just when Amelia turned to looked at her. She smiled nervously "Umm... I..." She looked to the noodles and looked back to Amelia "I have ramyeon?" She said like she was asking herself.
When Amelia realised what she was nervous about, she chuckled a little "Sure, I'll eat that" she said as she went back to cleaning "Make it five cause I'm really hungry"
Belle smiled then she took out six noodles for both of them. She looked briefly to Amelia before going back to unwrapping the noodles as she spoke "Aren't you going to ask about Milo's whereabout?" She asked. Amelia looked up for a while before going back to what she was doing "I'm pretty sure he's fine".
