Days After (Book 2 Of The BDA Series) COMPLETED

chapter 41...... Road trip.

"I heard nothing!" He needs to get his ears checked, and why is he looking at me like I'm insane or something.

"Adeemah!!!" She called again, she sound closed by, really close.

"Don't tell me you didn't hear that," I sent a glare in his way "Bel!!!", I called out to her " Bel where are you?? Bel!! Bel!!"

"I definitely did."

"What a nice tiger you've got there." One of the guys said, eyeing the tiger.

"Yeah, its a big one, isn't it?" In all honesty, this is the first time in my life I'm seeing a real life tiger in all my life.

"Yes, its huge." Of course it is, it's a fully grown tiger dimwit.

"Did you happen to see a little girl swimming around in the waters?" Jeff asked warily.

"Actually yes, yes we did."

"They have her, I know they do." I whispered to Jeff.

"Can we see her? Maybe she is the one we are looking for."

"Sure." He motioned for one of his guys to bring Bel, he brought her, her hands were tied behind her and her mouth was gagged, o my!

"Bel!!", my eyes teared up, a huge feeling of relief washed over my chest, it's really good to see her again " she is ours, send her here please." Bel said something but I couldn't make out what it was because of the gag over her mouth.

"Of course but on one condition." He had a ugly smug on his face I wish I could wipe off.

"What?! Just give me back the girl." I don't have time for these stupid games.

"Why do you want her? She is not yours now is she?"

"Yes she is, she is my daughter."

"Really?"

"Yes." I swallowed a lump that formed in my throat, she isn't my daughter but I'm her guardian so in a twisted way she is.

"So how come we found her drowning without anyone nearby?"

"Our boat turned over during the storm and the water washed her far from us."

"And you want me to believe that little story, why?"

"Because it's true, now give her back!!"

"You are yet to hear our condition."

"What is your condition?" Jeff asked calmly.

"Yo—"

"Shh," He cut me off "what is your condition?" He asked them again. I can't believe he is about to play the little game they are playing, well as long as he brings back my Bel.

"Don't shush me!" I mumbled.

"Give us the tiger and we'll give you the girl." He demanded.

"Okay," I agreed almost immediately "come take it."

"No!", Jeff disagreed " we are not giving you the tiger."

"What!! Are you insane?" He us definitely crazy, it's a simple offer, Bel for the tiger.

"We do not know why they want the tiger but for some reason they do, so don't you think it's because the tiger is valuable." He whispered.

"So what if it is valuable to them? Bel is valuable to us and I want her back."

"You will get Bel back, leave it to me." He is trying to do nothing but complicate this matter, just give them the damn tiger.

"Why do you want the tiger?" Jeff asked, like that matters, who cares why they want it just give them the damn thing.
The tiger is currently sitting at a corner without a care in the world.
