      She was holding on tight to my neck. I could still hear her sobbing.
  I had no idea what has come over her but whatever It is  am definitely going to find out .
Her body felt so light in  my arms as I carried her to my room, Annabel turned her face and I watched her gaze around . she I'mmediately turned back to face me.
    "Drop me down" she yelled , "I said drop me down" this time it was even louder and I had to  dropped her down.
     "Are you playing some kind of silly games with me or what are you doing?. A moment ago you were all acting weak and emotional and here you are yelling at the top of your voice".
   " I don't care what you think of anything just get me back to where you are keeping me hostage or should I call it my room?".she was folding her arms across her chest looking down at the floor like something was bordering her.
    "Listen", I muttered after watching her for a while. I rested my hand on her shoulder, she moved back making my hand fall helplessly by my side. I curved a smile at the corner of my mouth then drag the chair beside the table for her to sit. " Just tell me why you broke down in tears and all freaking out  and what  you Know about the woman that sent those men?". I asked her in a hash tone. I wanted her to know I wasn't in any mood for jokes she could be a threat to my life.
   I needed to know what am involved in .
I Know nothing other than to kill so if she's acting all so smart then I blow her off.
Simple.
   "She's my mother". She said, her voice  gentle and calm.i gave her the bottle of water on the table but she shook her head in refusal.
   Why was she being difficult when am trying my best to be nice.
Was she thinking I was going to poison her. Whatever it is I could see that Annabel was feeling insecure for some reasons I hope to find out.
     I wasn't surprised when she said her mother has sent those men. she had told me earlier that her parents didn't care about her but why have they sent this men to look for her?.
    Clearing my throat to draw her attention  she only fingetted in her spot. I loved the way my presence had effect on her even though she acts like she isn't afraid of me.
    "I still remember vividly when you told me your parents  won't mind if you die here or not and they wouldn't come looking for you  so why has she sent this men here looking for you?, Am I wrong if am to say that you are a bait to get to me?". She didn't reply so I brought out my gun, "maybe I should just kill you then, before they can even track me down".  I said playing with the gun in my hands . I knew she was going to face me now . Wow so she isn't ready to die yet. Sounds perfect.
    " You seem to be trusted for now so am going to tell you everything then you  can spare my life". Annabel walked to  where I had kept the chair and sat on it.
    " I think stubbornness is always a punishment to oneself". I say when she finally sat on the chair. She didn't give me a reply I only saw seriousness written all over her face.
    "They only want me for  their business to continue"
     " What business?". I asked
She was quite for a while she played with the hem of her dress.
Instead of me to pressurize her, I waited for her till she was comfortable to continue.
      "Sleeping with men".
      Am not sure if I heard the right words  but I realized it was what she actually said.
       "Annabel" I said walking towards her , tears all over her face. I didn't know how to offer comfort so the only thing I could do was to hug her. Maybe she needed a shoulder to cry on.
