"Do they… really not care?" He asked exasperatedly

"Do they… really not care?" He asked exasperatedly.

"Nope… I tried telling you but you wouldn't listen."

"Are you okay?" I could hear the sincerity in his voice.

This was shocking. My heart felt strangely comforted.

I chuckled. "My abductor is asking me if I'm okay." Pointing out the irony.

My joke had made a slight smile appear on his lips. "You do realize you could've escaped if you just untangle those ropes right?"

"Yeah. I just didn't want to waste my energy." I merely shrugged.

"You truly have no will to live." He stated. Confused whether to laugh or be concerned.

"And for what reason will I escape? Where will I go?" I rolled your eyes.

"...Home?" He answered more of a question than a statement.

"Home? Go back there just to suffer even more? No thanks." I leaned back nonchalantly.

"Well shouldn't you be afraid that I could kill you?" He asked with a smile on his face.

'Was that supposed to be a threat?'

"You wouldn’t. You don't have a weapon." I stated.

"What if I have a gun?" He asked.

"Show me it then." He found it strange that I wasn't afraid at all.

"Fine. I don't have a gun but I do have a kitchen knife." He admitted.

"Hm. You still won't kill me. You don't seem like a guy who enjoys killing someone slowly and painfully. You also don't have the passion to kill me by multiple stabs." I stated matter-of-factly.

"You're a smart one aren't you." He shook his head amused by me.

"If you don't want to go home, then where do you want to go?" He seemed genuinely curious.

"Hm… anywhere… as long as I can finally live my own life." I said hopelessly.

"What life do you want to live?" He asked.

"A peaceful life where I can relax and have my personal free will and freedom."

He stayed quiet letting me continue.

"I'm just tired with my life so far. So a peaceful life is all I ask for… I'm not saying I don't want to work forever. I do. But I just need a break. That's all." I ended my rant.

"Let's make a deal." He suddenly proposed.

"You don't report me to the cops for abducting you and I'll let you live with me for free." He offered while taking off his ski mask.

"Sure, but you have to fund my life too. As in, my food, drinks, clothes, etc." I negotiated.

"Deal." He smiled at me warmly. I admired as his eyes sparkled under the light and his brown hair tousled across his forehead.
