JAH SAYS

21: ❔💜

Earlier

"Yes, Boss... I just don't want any distractions from the cause and our main goal-" Someone speaks, standing in a dimly lit hallway in a home.

"Yeah, and nothing will distract anyone of us form anything important." One cuts the other off.

"Sir, with all due respect, I don't feel like we need her. At... At least not now! She's causing issues already-"

"You're the ones who caused this issue by doing what you did and acting the way you did. Am I not right?" The man speaking to the other cuts him off again.

"Jah-"

"I hear you. Alright. Drop it for now and go and do what I ordered. End of conversation." And with that, he leaves.

Present

"Ugh-"
Ow..." My head throbs at even the sounds of my own groaning.

Just then, I snap my eyes open, looking around and at the unfamiliarity of my surroundings through a blurred vision.

"Jah...?" I say, acknowledging the pain in my forehead and somewhat ignoring it.

Where am I now? I must remember what happened...

I look around the bright and well decorated and furnished room.

This isn't the inside of one of those apartments of that abandoned hotel...that's for sure. It is rather...a house?

I look around until it dawns on me.

Jah! He must've left me here...alone!

I cannot help my smile.

But why would he- Could it be... Because he's concerned?! No! He probably...

Just then, what sounds like footsteps and somethings being moved around are heard somewhere further in the house.

Someone else is here?! It could be him!

I smile once again before wiping it off of my face.

Or... It could be one of those bodyguards of his who knocked me out!

Finally, I decide to get up from the couch, walking straight into the kitchen. I open the drawers, looking for a knife to use just in case, finding one.

I then make my way out of the kitchen and slowly towards what appears to be the hallway leading into the rooms where I had heard sounds.

I am scared right now. And under any other circumstances... I would never go further into anywhere to explore a strange noise...but...

I turn, pointing the knife at the first room, only finding it empty.

So this is the bathroom... And all of these decorations appear so...grandma-ish! Who lives here?! Because someone definitely does!

It must be Jahseh or someone who knows where he is...

Lowering my exhausted arm that holds the kitchen knife, I then turn left and into the only room with the light on. Feeling much more confident that it is also empty, I rush inside, only to end up bumping straight into something. I gasp, seeing someone standing there, kneeling down to find the fallen blade.
