I've been sitting in this dark room whose only source of light is the small yellow bulb dangling from the higher than high ceiling the past few hours. The well-being and whereabouts of Marco and Fellani where thoughts I couldn't wrap my head around. I've tried everyway possible to untie myself or at least release my mouth.
The creaking sound of the door snaps me out of my daydream. I scream but all that is heard are suppressed muffles. The man who enters put a bowl of soup on the ground before releasing the tape from my mouth.

"Let me go!! Somebody help!! Help!!!!" The man quicky places his palm firmly over my mouth, preventing me from screaming.
"Look I'm not ready to cut your tongue off so please ma'am don't shout. Please. I don't want my name reaching Me. Punini"
I bite his palm resulting in a loud yelp.
"I will scream if I want to! Tell me why my dad hasn't killed me yet"
"Please, I'm not allowed to"
" The I'll freaking scream!!"
"But-"
I start to scream and he quickly covers my mouth again.
"Fine! I'll tell you. He's waiting for Marco"
"What do you mean he's waiting for Marco"
"I mean, he's waiting for Marco to find you"
"Okay, I get you but why?"
"So he can kill both of you at once and have Fellani to himself. For revenge"
"Revenge?"
"Yes revenge"
"Wow, this is confusing. Why are you with my dad? What are you helping him destroy innocent souls. You disgust me!! Curse you!! Curse you and all my dad's men!!! Curse y-"
"Enough!!!! I don't want to hear anymore!! You think I like this huh. You think I enjoy hurting innocent souls. I'm paying the debt of my sixteen year old son. He took some drugs without paying. To pay his debt,he was made to serve Me. Punini for three years. I can't let my son do that. So I'm paying for his sons"

"I- I am so sorry"
"There's no need"
He unties my hands and gives me the soup.
"Signal me when you're done. The name's Michael. I'll be outside. I stare at his back, the cold soup still in my hands.

Marco's Point of View
" How dare you tell me to calm down! My wife's evil dad just told us about her whereabouts and you're telling me to calm down"
"Mr. Boujoire with all due respect, we need more information before acting out. How do we know that's her father"

"Do you even know who Mr. Punini is!! He has been wanting to destroy the lives of my wife and son. You know what, I'll handle this by myself now!"
I give a crying Fellani a tight hug and head for the door, my family screaming for me to stop.
"Dad! Please come back alive with Mama. I don't want to go back to him"
"I promise you, I'll be back, with Mama. I love you" with that I leave the house and head to airport.

45 minutes later.......

"Quand part let prochain vol pour Marseille (when is the next flight to Marseille)"
"Demain sour(Tomorrow evening)"
I just can't wait till tomorrow evening before saving Aurora. I need to move now and fast. I quickly run out of the airport and head for the train station, the only way that can get me to Marseille today.
What sort of father does this to his own child. How can people be this wicked. God please keep Aurora safe.
I can't believe I haven't seen Aurora since the night of my proposal. God knows how long I waited for the day I propose to Aurora. How that night was supposed to be special. Eveything just had to be destroyed by that man. The fire, ransacking our house, kidnapping Aurora, Fellani's health issues; this is just too much. I park my car and enter the train station.
"A quelle heure eat le prochain train pour Marseille (what time is the next train to Marseille)"
"Une heure(one hour)"
"Je peux acheter in billet?(can I buy a ticket)"
"Oui(Yes)"
She hands me a ticket and I pay for it.
"De quel quai part let train pour Marseille (which platform for the train to Marseille)"
"Let train entre en gare au quai numéro deux(The train is arriving at platform two)"
"Merci(Thank you)"
