**MR SCOTT**~Day Eight"Thank you."I whispered more to myself and dropped the cell. I took the news with an open heart since I didn't have much of a choice. Even if I fought hard, there's nothing that can be done.They found my girl once, with any hope they'll be capable of doing it once again. I hope and pray.Antony wakes up soon. He'll give us more insight on this thing.I'm a target as well, I can't risk Rita's safety. I'm staying away. Seeing her today was nice. After everything is over, I'll sit down and think about how next to proceed, especially with the relationship. Before anything else, I need to get home, take a long bath, and try to get some rest. If any at all. The Russian might strangle me in my sleep.My only consolation is the fact that they actually need me alive, for the documents. So maybe not death by suffocation.Tomorrow is another big deal. I'm looking forward to it.~Day NineFalling asleep was too difficult, I resulted to pills in aiding that mission. Afte
**TRACY SCOTT**Tina's outburst put me in an amazing mood all through breakfast. Since I was locked in, I checked after deciding to actually keep my plates for the first time in forever, I was left with no other option than to move them aside and lay on the bed, counting the ceiling since there was truly nothing to do.In between these moments, I shut my eyes for an afternoon nap.As I did, a loud sound jilted me awake. My door bursts open almost the same time. I gasp and jump up. It's Ethan."They're here. We have to go."He yelled, but before anything I take a moment to congratulate myself for predicting that so accurately. They found out. Of course they did. It's the Russian mob."Come on Tracy , they are going to kill you once they get their hands on you!"He yelled. I crossed my arms, tapping my finger against my lips."Actually, I don't know anything since all the information I get comes from you. I don't know if you're trying to manipulate me or any other thing,but if there's o
**MR SCOTT**~Day Nine~Two Hours LaterI arrived at the compound an hour more than expected, in the shower I figured Michael was telling the truth about risks, so I went that extra mile so I wouldn't get followed. I stopped at the office, parked my car in the lot, hired an uber, then snuck out of my company, that wasn't easy at all. I took three ubers, instructing them to drop me at different locations, then i had to walk a little before arriving at the place.Michael did his routine check for any stray dogs, once I was in the clear we rushed to his room."Is he awake?"I couldn't hold it in much longer. I had to know if Antony was alright.“As I said, you'll turn out as one of the first ten persons he sees when he wakes up."That brought a smile to my face."Let's do that."I nodded and Michael unlocked the door. The doctor hovered over him, checking teh equipments and a note pad in his hands."Are we ready?"He shut the note, keeping it aside."Yes. I hope there aren't any compli
**TRACY SCOTT**~Day Nine"Stand up. Both of you."He instructed, nudging his gun high in the air. I took that as cue to actually stand up then we did."Both of you, up against the wall. Raise your hands and place them against the wall. If either makes a move, I'll put a bullet through your brain."He threatned in a thick Russian accent."Maybe you should've kept the phone off speaker, so you can run around making threats I heard your boss instruct you to bring me alive, so these threats aren't for me. You can't touch me."I seethed and stood against the wall."You're just a little brat. My original orders were to kill you which I should've done while I had the chance, don't think for a second I'll show mercy to a stupid American. If you try anything, I'll shoot you. That goes for the both of you."He imitates an explosion and pulls both arms backwards, cuffing me before doing the same toEthan. "Go tell the boys we've secured them and we're leaving this place soon. Plant the explosive
**MR ANTONY SANTOS**~Day Nine"There's no time for blames to go around."Another voice spoke up. I turned my head in the direction it came from then ran my eyes over his body. He was built. That was the deep voice that kept speaking. The other figure was unknown but from the outfit he was putting on, I'll place on my bets that he was a doctor.I can thank him for opening my eyes, something I'd thought I could never do again. I left myself for dead. I've been given a second chance, I don't intend to waste it.The man by my left is a doctor, Mr Scott is standing in front of me, so who is the other man?"You're wondering who I am. I'm the man who saved your life or else you....""I'll stop you right there, I see the man with a coat by my left, he's the doctor. If I'm thanking anyone for my life, it'll be him. I don't know who you are, but you didn't save my life."How long was I gone? What happened that this man comes here. Who is he anyway?"Antony . Calm down."Joel Scott spoke up f
**TRACY SCOTT**~Day NineI looked away for a second, my eyes eventually landed on Ethan who noticed my discomfort. Without the cell, I've lost all hope to communicate with anyone on the outside if the opportunity presents itself and when the time comes."What's wrong?"He asks, nudging my elbow since we were seated close to each other. What are we? Best friends? This isn't high school and we're not playing a game of secret sharing."Nothing. I have nothing to say to you."Please leave me alone."Then why save me?"Ugh. Here we go again...."Are you dumb? I told you. I'm returning the favour so when it's time to get my justice, you don't bring that up. It's called getting even."I answered back hissing in annoyance"I don't think so.""Well I know so since I'm the one who did it, you can think whatever you wish, I truly don't care."I brushed him off and looked away."I'll think it for sure, I know you care about it. As difficult and morally challenging it is, you care about it more t
MR ANTONY SANTOS**~Day NineI see their hopeful eyes as the doctor makes his exit, after he shuts the door, I return my gaze to Michael and let it rest on him alone."Before anything else, I was making progress while acting like I was on their side. Good progress. I was able to figure out how he gets them to work under him. It might not seem relevant, but I believe cutting his labour off might be one of the ways of crippling that empire."When I finished, both Michael and Mr Scott had taken a seat in anticipation for what would be said."Hear me out, it might seem little but he has loyal followers. They babe an unlimited budget they work with, but aside from that, he has motivated them to an extent that they are ready to jump into fire for him. They worship him.”I paused, marking the look of confusion of their faces."How would that help us? It only shows how difficult our work would be. If he has loyal followers, there's no way they can turn their backs on him....""I believe that'
**TRACY SCOTT**~Day NineOkay that came out louder than I intended. Who knew I could screech so loudly? Beside the point. I got their attentions, it's time for the main event."Why are you yelling? This better not be some sick...""Ugh. You can yell at me all you like, in fact I don't mind since I've gotten used to the sound of your incessant rants, but please do so after I've used the restroom or you'll be yelling at me while I pee myself."I clasped both legs together, putting up a pleading face with pouty lips and all what not.The looks ok their faces didn't give me the impression that I convinced them, I hope I did.I turned to Ethan. It was almost as if he saw right through his act. Maybe he did a little.I turned away, to the man of the moment, the one that mattered at this point."Please. You can take me, stay outside then watch, at this rate I don't care if you follow me in. I'll fucking shit myself!"I increased my tone at the end of it, tightening my legs even harder. I cau
