Flashback
Why isn't this guy giving up? I mean he has been chasing me through the streets of Sea Point for the past 30 minutes. The French have been looking for us- yes us,as in Kairo and I- for as long as i can remember.
I ran into the street. A car pressed down on the hooter for 5 seconds straight. And i stood there,shook. Like a deer caught in headlights.
I closed my eyes and waited for the impact but nothing happened. Instead three buff men in black jumped out of the car. The tallest had me in headlock from behind amd covered my mouth and nose with a cloth(laced with a drug to make me unconcious).
End of flash back.
I open my eyes and look around to absorb the unknown environment. This is definitely a toture room. There are different weapons on the wall. Outdated shitload of weapons. I tried to move my arm and legs but im tied to a fucking chair. Seriously ? I mean,who even ties a captive so poorly. I can easily untie myself but I have no energy left.

I heard three pairs of footsteps approaching my "cell". They door swung open and three buff guys entered the room. Same bullshit everytime. They beat the hell out of me ask me about some Roman guy who I dont know. I guess I have to endure their beatings one more time. I have high pain tolerance to be quite frank. The tallest of the three men advanced and stood still infront of me. He bent to grab my chin. "What a pretty little girl." He just touched my face. Mistake number one : Dont touch my face. I think i just swallowed vomit that wanted to escape my throat. I snapped my head in the other direction in attempt to escape his touch. "Feisty. Tsk. What to do ? What to do huh Jerry?" He asked his accomplice with a annoying voice and deep french accent. The guy who i assumed is Jerry stared at me. "She has a body of a goddess." He said eye fucking me. Mistake number two: Dont eyefuck me. Pedo! Jerry walked up to me and tore my shirt exposing my tan skinned chest. "Maurice should we take turns on her?" Wait. What?! They all hummed at the same time. "Undress her. Leave her with no clothes. Blindfold her. Beat her and apply vinegar to her wounds. Dont kill her. I want her weak when im gonna enjoy myself. I dont need her fighting back" Maurice hissed. Emphasis on the back. Jerry and Maurice left the room. The other remained. He hasnt said a word. Im assuming he is their boss. Nicolai Oliviér. He took a chair and sat infront of me. "Now. You're going to tell me where Roman is. And everything else you know about him." He said. When he said the name Roman, his tone was laced with hatred. Who is this Roman guy even ? "Nikolai. Buddy. We've been over this gazillion times. I. Dont. Know. Who. The. Fuck. Roman. Is." i slowly hissed getting angrier with every word i utter. The words that came from his mouth made everything stand still. "How can you not know anything about your father?" "What the fuck are you talking about Maurice?" "Oh. Mama bear forgot or lied abour your daddy ? He isnt dead. He is somewhere living his life not knowing that his children are alive." The more he spoke the more questions rose in my head. He walked out and slammed the door after his departure. I sighed. Shit! I remembered i was supposed to pick Kairo up from training.

After untying myself and waiting for somebody to open the door so i could leave Jerry entered while rubbing his manhood through his pants. "Lets see how tight your pussy is." He said. I sat with my hands behind my back waiting- patiently - to attack him. Before he could touch me i kicked him and he fell limp on the floor. I checked his pockets. I took his phone texted Boss and it read 'Boss she is tight as fuck. Can i go on another round before i kiil her ?' Maurice texted back saying 'bullshit. wait. kairo ?'
'took you long enough you idiot'
'im going to kill you'
'catch me if you can.' By the time he sent people looking for me , I was long gone. Im waiting for Kairo to finish training.

"Hey sis" Kairo said throwing a weak punch against my arm. I faked being hurt and said "Hey big guy." When he was born i swore to protect him even if it meant to die protecting him i would. After Ma died 4 years ago Kairo has been more of a son than a brother. He never knew Ma because she- "Earth to Kenya. Can we go home now?"he asked softly. I just nodded.

When we got home he sat on the sofa and started browsing through Netflix. "Kenya can i watch 365 days?" What? "Absolutely not. The age restriction is 18. And you're ten. So no."
"What about After?"
"No. Cant you watch something like Rick and Morty or something?"
"Well I guess I could watch Karate Kid."
"Goeie keuse" (translation: good choice)
"Kan jy sjampioene en hoender pastei maak asseblief? Onthou jy het belowe om dit vir my te maak." (translation: can you make chicken and mushroom pie? Remember yoy promised you'd.)
"Okay. Akukho ngxaki." (translation: no problem)

After tucking Kairo in I took a long , relaxing shower. When i was done I sat on my bed thinking about what Maurice said. I need to find this Roman guy. Pfft. My dad? No. Dad died long time ago. It cant be true , can it ? Ping! My phone notified my of a new message. I grabbed my phone and rthe message read 'I just found out i have two kids. My flight lands at noon tomorrow. I'd like to meet you. Roman.x" After reading the text multiple times i texted back. 'How do i know you are real?' He texted back saying 'Meet me at the airport. You will see." Now im contemplating. Should I or shouldnt I go? Im going. I want to know what Ma hid from me.
I covered myself with the blankets and succumed to the darkness and deep slumber.
