THOMAS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWTwo men kicked opened the door. I could not see their faces but I could make out their silhouette perfectly thanks to the reflection from the window. “Are you awake now?” He said to me. I responded with some muffled sounds as the gag in my mouth would not let me talk properly.As if they had seen my struggle, one of them bent down to remove the gag in my mouth then rose on his feet and flung it across the room. The other man pressed a switch and the lights came on. I squinted my face in reaction to the lights as my eyes were already accustomed to the initial darkness.“Who are you people? What do you want?” I asked in a weak voice. I could not believe the voice that had just spoken was my voice. I tried to cough whatever was obstructing my lungs but nothing came out but a weak and short force of air. I swallowed in resignation.“Here, speak with your grandfather and tell him to come you at this location.” He said putting in my face similar piece of

SMART’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWIt was indeed confirmed that Mr Thomas had been abducted. The blood on the floor and his broken wristwatch were pointers to the fact that he fought with them before they took him. My heart sank and I felt stupid. I wished I was with him to protect him. He had been there for me since we met but I could not do the same for him when he needed me the most. “The surveillance camera!” I said out loud looking at the faces of the security personnels. I did not wait for them to say anything before rushing to the control room in the basement where the screens to check the surveillance cameras installed in house were.They followed me down there and we scrolled through the footages but they seemed to have been tampered with as the ones from the time we got into the house kept glitching. “I doubt we are going to get anything from this. The cameras have obviously been tampered with. Let me report back to the chief security at Pa Robinson’s quarters for further i

SMART’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI nodded in agreement to what the chief security had said. “So when would the results be out?” I asked.“In few hours, by morning or latest afternoon tomorrow, we will have our answers.” He replied then also took a seat as he sighed.A nurse soon came around the waiting area. We all stood up almost immediately.“Excuse me please.” I callee her back even though it seemed like she was in a hurry. She turned around and stopped to hear what I had to say.“Please, we are here for the two patients that were sent into the operation rooms a while ago. I just want to ask about how it is going. We have not heard anything for the hour.” I asked calmly.“Oh, there is no update yet, but be rest assured that they are in the good hands. The doctor would come and address you when they have news for you. Stay strong until then, okay?” She said and left immediately without waiting for me to even thank her.We sat back disappointedly. We were eventually advised to go

CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWA man who seemed to be in his fifties came to approach us. He seemed like the doctor with his white overall and their signature way of holding a stethoscope loosely.“Good morning. You are for the Robinson’s right?” He asked facing the chief security and Smart.“Yes.” They said in unison.“Have you been able to contact their family?” He asked.“Yes sir. This is the younger man’s wife and here is his brother. These are her family.” Smart introduced us to him.“Oh, good. We are sorry about the unfortunate incident. We had to go on with the surgery in your absence because of how critical their condition was and it was needed to help save their lives.” He said.“That is no problem, doctor. How are they now? Can we go see them now?” I asked impatiently.“They are out of surgery. Thankfully, the surgeries for both of them were successful and they are now stable but the younger man is still unconscious. He is in coma. As for the old man, he is pretty muc

SMART’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI got back at the quarters to get the things thar Mr Thomas might need at the hospital. I drove in and everywhere seemed a little strange. For the first time in a while, everywhere was silent. every one of the staff especially the security personnels had been taken in for interrogation leaving the house empty. I got to the study and picked a couple books for him. Taylor called that I should help me with some clothes at his quarters. That reminded me that Mr Thomas might need some things that would make the hospital feel homely to him. I headed upstairs to see if there was anything of such in his room. The room remained as it had been from the night. There was a custom made diffuser in the corner by a small stool. I remembered the diffuser. He had stated specifically how he wanted the fragrance to smell like and had the maker tailor it to his taste. I picked it and also some other things he liked that I thought would give him the homely feely and ret
