SAVE ME

Chapter 14

Narrator's POV

"Where is she going to this time?" Mr. White asked himself as he watched the silhouette of a woman entering a building that looked abandoned, he couldn't grasp what she was wearing and her purpose in coming to this place.

It was Sunday and she didn't attend mass like she would do on this day so he wondered what was up and wanted to know what she was up to he needed to report to the old man about her whereabouts and her wellbeing.

He got out of his car and followed her to the building that she entered. He placed his hand on the gun holder that held his gun inside his coat and then hid behind a shredded dirt-stained wall, he looked around to check if anyone was coming and when he didn't hear or see anything, he made his way further into the building then hid behind the shadows.

He got to a dirty brown-looking door that looked like it would give up with just touching it and he hissed under his breath at how loud the creaking was as he opened the door slowly 'Creaky thing!' he thought and proceed further inside the building.

The inside was quite dark and there was a little the late afternoon sun was doing to illuminate the large room he just entered. He saw a staircase and walked towards it as the wooden floor made squeaking noises with each step he takes. He set a foot on the bottom stairs and the second on the step above and it squeaked too.

"This wouldn't last long" he muttered then continued walking up the stairs slowly and quietly as he can, he wondered what was there that she was looking for if it was him or someone else, there should be some people downstairs keeping watch or something.

He met with another room that was poorly lit by a bulb dangling on the ceiling, he looked around to be sure that no one was there before leaving the staircase area and walking in the narrow hallway by the right. He heard hushed voices coming from a room and walked towards there to hear what is being said.

The door was left slightly ajar and he tried to peep at who was in the room, he couldn't really see anyone so he moved away from the door and tried to listen, he could hear voices of men and a woman talking in hushed tones and he tried to listen to what they were saying.

"Look, no... I can't, please" he heard her plead.

"You have to or else... you're very much aware of how things went on the last time? It will be worse this time" the man threatened and he heard the woman sob.

"Please don't hurt them, I will do whatever you want, just leave them alone" she pleaded.

"I won't, just do as you are told to do and there will be no issues," he said and Mr. White frowned at that.

What exactly are they talking about? What is she being asked to do? These were questions that bombarded his head and while still in the thought of what was going on, he mistakenly leaned on the door and it closed then the people inside stopped talking.

"Did you hear that?" he heard a faint male voice say and he knew it was time to go so he immediately left that hallway and quickly made his way down the stairs trying to be as quiet as he could then he rushed out of the building and ran to a small building that was just in front of the one he entered there he hid as he tried to catch his breath and listen to anyone coming for him.

He held the gun and waited for some minutes.

"Were you followed?" he heard a man ask.

"No, I made sure of that" the woman replied.

"Whatever, just leave and don't come here. We will reach out to you when we need to, I don't want any problems with the police" the man said and he tried to peep to see who the man was but the man and some other men were already headed back to the building while the woman looked around before going in the opposite direction.
