His Hostage Alibi

I watched Alexander closely, he still managed to pilot us with his swollen eyes, Vitali hit him so hard with his gun.

That's cruel, I don't mean Alexander teasing Vitali which he knows he hates is good, but the way Vitali handled it was totally offensive.

I looked at the cold man sitting in front of me, after he had that brawl with Alexander he remained as quiet, calm yet cold, giving off the aura of being unapproachable.

We've been flying for some time and I know we will soon be where we're supposed to be.

I am tired and exhausted. I needed to rest or sleep, but I can't do that here, I'm uncomfortable and the fear of what this men might do to me if I close my eye leaves me restless.

I clutched my blanket closer to my body, I shouldn't have listened to Alex and put on this dress, I feel so exposed.

I wanted to talk to grandma, she must've been calling, if I don't pick after the third ring she will begin to panic and it's totally bad for her health.

"Please can I speak to my grandma when we land?"
I asked slowly, hoping he will hear me. He look like he was taking a nap and I'm afraid he might get angry for waking him up.

"Okay."
It was cold, simple and nonchalant.

I was still happy, he granted me a wish without having to fuss over it.

I watched the blindfolds in his hands as he stretched them towards me.

There was a black van waiting for us with a man dressed all in black and a black sunshade waiting by the passengers side.

I looked up to him questionably though knowing what he meant.

He wanted the blindfolds over my eyes, another way for me not to know where they're taking me.

We landed a few minutes ago, in an abandoned small airport. Or maybe it was private owned as they were so many planes like Alexander's laying motionless.

Alexander had left the moment we came down and that was the last I saw him, I didn't even get a chance to say thank you, not that it's in my place to do that, I am a kidnapped citizen and shouldn't be thanking an accomplice.

"Should I help you tie them?"

They were still some modesty in him, he's offering instead of forcing me.

"I will tie them myself."

I collected it and carefully binded my eyes with them. I was once again thrown into a world of darkness and uncertainty.

I jerked when he rested his hand on my left hand, maybe seeing I was uncomfortable he adjusted them to my wrist.

"Just follow my lead."
His voice, very intoxicating with the blindfolds as it is the only thing I could feel other than his hand.

I nodded, trying hard to distract myself from his deep baritone.

He guilded me, but wasn't gently about it, maybe he forgot I couldn't see anything. I was blindly following him yet he didn't care.
