CHAPTER 8

I woke up from my deep slumber to a soft and warm bed. I can feel the pillows in my head giving comfort. Hhhhmmmmm... I purred contently. I slowly opened my eyes and saw unfamiliar surroundings. I slowly adjust my eyes and from what I can see I am in a luxurious bedroom. Dominant color is brown, well not really my color as I am more of a white plain guy. I slowly sit in the bed and take everything in. The previous nights' almost sexcapade turn rescue mission replayed in my head.

I was expecting a car or at most cars to rescue us but instead I was startled when I heard a chopper hovering above head. As the person on the other line told me that that was our ride and then he cut the call. He must be in contact to whoever pilots that chopper because not a second was wasted 3 people jump out from the chopper with a rope around their waist followed by a stretcher that was tied securely with them. It was like a scene taken out from a James Bond movie.

They nodded to me and made a quick assessment with the person lying on my lap. And when they see that his stable enough, they expertly and gently loaded him to the stretcher that was whisk securely to the chopper waiting above after one of them gave a go signal. I was left with the 3 James Bonds', and they started checking me. I believe not for weapons because it won't make sense. I just saved their boss why would I harm him after?

"It was on the first aid box, and I used it to cut lose your boss from his weights and restrains that could have sent him to the bottom of this lake" I said defensively as they found the Swiss knife lying innocently besides me. The guy who has it just let out a soft amused chuckle and raised both his hands one with the Swiss knife as if in defeat. He has dimples on both his cheeks let's call him the dimple guy.

"Come with us" said the other guy with an almost shaved head and an almond shaped eyes (let's call him almond guy) he then started putting a harness on me. I just obeyed because hey! I'm still in the middle of nowhere with no means of transportation whatsoever to go back to civilization. And I'm kind of a little bit scared of how efficient they are at their job; it gives me goose bumps. Something is telling me this is not the first time they did this.

I heard the same guy gave the go signal (signal guy) and we were whisk high up in the air. I can see signal guy emptying the inside of the first aid kit and throw it into the water. He also unceremoniously chucks the phone into the lake with no preamble of sort.

That's the last I can remember since I too passed out during the chopper ride maybe due to exhaustion, I was walking for more than 2 hours, creep silently like a stalker and swam to a lake then drag a grown ass man to the shore to give some first aid. All because I am a hormonal teenager! Sweet move, Beam, sweet move. I groan internally.

I check the clock just beside the bed and saw its already 8am. My stomach growled. I am hungry. I started to rise from the bed and my feet was welcomed by a lush carpet, again brown. I go straight to the floor to ceiling curtain just in front of the bed and had a quick peak on it. Trying my luck, I tried to open the huge window as I can see a veranda in it but not to my surprise, it was locked. Great Beam, now you are their prisoner. I mentally curse myself.

I was being paranoid, yes, I am but you can't blame me. I open the bedside tables but sees nothing that can help me with my escape if needed be. I just sat down again in the bed feeling defeated as I continue to admire the luxury that is currently my prison. A soft knock followed by the door opening made me raise my head. There I saw almond guy pushing a trolley with fine China and silver covering gleaming with the light. Following him was dimple guy with his dimpled half smile.

"How's your sleep? Dimple guys ask in his soft tone. Are they making me feel comfortable before they kill me? When he senses that I'm not going to answer and just stare at him blankly, He gave almond guy a little shove.

"Eat" - almond guy

"I want to go home. I said. Please" I added quickly.

"Can't. the boss asked for you to stay" – dimple guy

"What more does he need from me? I already saved his life" -I ask slowly

They both shrugged their shoulder and expertly remove the silver covering and my traitor of a stomach gave a loud and angry growl. Can't blame it thought, the feast in front of me is mouthwatering but I can't just eat it. They must have put some poison in it.

"If we wanted to kill you, we could just shoot you right then and there at the lake without anyone knowing. It would have saved us all the hassle of brining your passed-out ass here, preparing this room and cooking for you." -almond guy say after seeing my cautious glance towards the food.

I saw dimpled guy shove his elbow to almond guy to shut him up. He also glared him for a good measure. Almond guy just shrugged his shoulder.

"You are safe here. The boss just wanted to talk to you before you can go and if he is satisfied, you might have an easy death." Said almond guy followed by a creepy smile. Well, that's it. I'm dead.
