Escape From: The Mayor

13

I was in Zoey's room and we were having practice. Well, only me and Zoey were doing practice with the gun. The rest were having hand to hand fight practice. It was really sad that we will be leaving soon. Will we ever meet each other? I liked them. They were fun to hang around. But I was having a hard time to concentrate on practicing my shooting today. I felt this hole in the gut feeling since morning and the felling of something terrible is going to happen for sure.

I had tried like a hundred times to ignore it but it stuck around rent free. I convinced myself to let it to be and I didn't care. If it was supposed to happen, something bad, then it would have happened atleast before 4 p.m. So that meant that my brain was hallucinating. And after I had declared that theory, I was getting better at the practice and not missing any shots. 

After another hour of practice, we all decided to call in a day and leave the rest for tomorrow. I decided to go back to Ava and Alessia and check up on them. I was going to check up on them just because of our previous run on with the robots or else I know that they can't them in trouble. I had called Ava in the afternoon during a break from my practice and asked about what Alessia and Alma were doing. Ava had informed me that Alma had went out for a walk in the garden on ground floor and wanted to have some fresh air. So I was hoping she would be back for dinner.

Unfortunately, she wasn't. Ava and Alessia were looking tense while they were seated on the couch. I wa spacing around and trying to calm myself down. Alma was missing since 3 p.m. She never goes out for long walks and it was summer so atleast the sharp rays of the sun would have at least bothered her to come back in and relax in the cold air of her room. Ava and Alessia had already checked the whole place. I still didn't tell Zaira or Zoey about the situation. They ahd told me that if someone does goes missing or gets kidnapped from our team, I should tell them immediately so they could help us.

But I was hesitant to ask anyone. What if it is an assumption made by us of her getting kidnapped? I know she would never get kidnapped. There is nothing they can get out of her. She won't be useful for them either. Still they took her. I just hope she returns. Or maybe I wake up from this nightmare soon. I will open my eyes and I will feel bedsheets on my back and it touching my skin and Collin sleeping peacefully beside me and I just laugh off from my nightmare and me getting overwhelmed for no reason. 

I pinch myself to see if this is real and it is damn real. The pinch was hurting like hell. So Alma was kidnapped.

I didn't have an appetite to eat dinner but Ava pushed me to eat some and I tried my best to put up a normal face and eat it like a normal person. Alessia had cooked dinner and I don't want to hurt her feelings by not eating so I ate the food she had cooked. Surprisingly, it was wonderfully cooked food which also gave me an appetite to eat. Though, while eating dinner, which had relaxed us a bit, we heard a knock on the door. I almost ran to open the door hoping that it was Alma and how she would tell a story of how she got tangled up in a fight with the robots and would have her hairs all messed up or something like that.

But when I opened the door, I found nothing or no one. Just a envelope on the red carpeted floor and nothing else. The lift was closed too. I heard no noises of footsteps either. Who was it? I picked up the envelope on the carpeted floor with shaky hands as if it could blast anytime and took it in. Me, Ava and Alessia exchanged concerned looks and then looked at the letter. We decided to finish our food which was left and then see what the stupid letter was about. Another new adventure I guess.
