Melancholy...

Chapter 41

I looked around quickly to make sure that no one was around and walked to the office. I opened the door quietly,walked in and closed it quietly behind me. His office was messy. There were papers everywhere. I looked at the shelves and bit my lips. Where do I start?

I began to look through the things on the table. Some had names and others had a few calculations on them. None of them had the address of the house. The screen of the computer in his office was off,but I had a feeling that the computer it's self was still on.

I moved the mouse a little and the screen came on. It showed a website of travelling agencies. I could see that he had asked a few of them if he could book a flight for 18 people and this gave me the idea that the children that were being held captive were around this number.

I exited the page and began to go through the documents on the computer for information. I tore a piece of paper and began to write down information I considered vital. There was still no sign of the address but that did not stop me from looking through other documents some more .

The whole house was so quiet that I didn't have to listen hard to hear footsteps walking down the staircase. I began to panic as I looked for a place to hide.
"Dad?" I heard Jason call from outside the office as he knocked on the door. Grabbing the paper I was writing on,I quickly hid under the table,hitting my head in the process.

Jason entered the room and from the small crack in the table I saw him walking closer to my hiding place . I held my breath as his leg was literally a few centimeters away from me.
"But I thought heard someone here..." he said to himself.
He looked around some more and grabbed a pack of cigarettes from the large stack in the corner of the table.

I heard him putting of the light in the office and the place went black. He banged the door behind him but luckily he didn't lock it. I stayed in that position for a while,breathing slowly as my heart raced.

After about five minutes later,I got out from my hiding place and sighed. That was close. I sat down on the chair slowly and began to go through the documents some more. I needed to quicken up and get out of there. After minutes of going through the documents,I found a few addresses of some houses. I didn't know which particular one had the children in it so I decided to write all 5.

I folded the paper neatly and placed it in my small pocket. I walked to the door slowly and listened to see if I'll hear anything. No one seemed to be around,so I opened the door and looked around the hallway. No one was here and the lights were off. I went out of the office,closed the door behind me and began to walk to my room.

"What are you doing here?" I heard a voice ask and I stopped in my tracks. The voice obviously belonged to Jason and I cooked up a quick lie in my head.
"Oh I just went to get some water.." I said
"..you came from the office though.." he said,leaning against the wall.
"Oh no..it must have been your eyes" I said,as I resumed walking to my room.

I refused to look back at him and walked straight to the room. I closed the door behind me and sighed.

That was so fricking close!
