  Lucas opened his eyes slowly, he found himself still in the nasty factory

The sun rays entered their place from the many small holes in the ceiling and the walls

He sat slowly and removed the blanket he brought yesterday from his jeep, he saw Ian near the stove with his blanket around him and he rubbing his hands near the coals in the stove

"Morning" Lucas said to him in sleepy voice while he rubbed his eyes

"Man this is not good, I am dying from cold here. This stove doesn't do any better" Ian said in shivery sound as he got enough from cold

"You can make a coffee if you want, I brought it yesterd…"

"No no, it I need to wear some warm cloths, I will go to our apartment. Do you want anything from there" he said while he stood up and grabbed the keys from the table

"No thanks but be careful they may looking for our car since we were near there" Lucas warned him

"Don't worry, see ya" Ian replied in harry and went out to the car

Now Lucas left here with Diana alone, he stood up and put the blanket on his chair

He took a look at Diana who was sleeping in the floor and a blanket covering her body

After five minute, Diana opened her eyes slowly and saw Lucas sitting on his chair waiting for the water to boil above the stove

She felt cold since she slept away from the stove and only had a blanket that they put on her last night and wearing the sweater Lucas brought yesterday, she started to shiver from cold and her teeth chatter, she approached her legs to her chest and hugged them

Lucas turned to her and saw her awake; he noticed her state and walked to her

She raised her head to see him standing in front of her

"Get up" he said to her

She did what he asked without any questions

He untied her hands "Come" he said and she followed in puzzlement

He grabbed a chair and placed it near the stove, he gestured for her to sit while he sat in his chair which was next to her

Diana paused for a moment; he looked up at her with his brows moved up in weirdness

"Are you goanna sit or what?" he said her with his same expression and she did

He gave her his blanket and she took it with more confusion than before

"I believe you won't do any stupid move" he said to warn her

She didn’t say anything just tried to enjoy the warmth beside the stove and looking at the fiery coals

A period passed before Diana turned to him and started talking

"Why do you do this?" she asked him

He didn’t answer since he didn't understand what she meant

"First you abducted me and started to yell and threaten me and now you're good to me. Why is that?" she explained to him after she gather all her courage

He ignored her and took the boiling water from the stove and poured it in to two cups

He added a spoon of coffee on each of them and started to mixing them

He extended his hand with one cup to her and took the other one

"See, you seem to me as a good person. So why the hell do you do this job?" she asked him this and she was knowing the answered since she heard him that night
