Taken

✦ Chapter Six ✦

"He got away with my Louise" Bob whispered flinging an eerie vibe into the atmosphere around us.

What did Bob mean by "My Louise"? I wondered who she was. His lover? A family member? His child? I imagined how Bob even git dragged into the....kidnapping business. May be Lorenz had something on him?

I scrunched my eyebrows together in confusion and thought all whilst taking in Bob's features. His shapeless lips were parted in a relaxed way, his head tilted to the side in thought and his eyes, his brown, round eyes seemed to be lost in a memory.

I observed silently as he was swallowed in his trance, and I was surprised honestly. I didn't even get a chance to ask who Louise was but for some reason I didn't want to disturb the man from his thoughts.

His face, however simple, was littered with emotion; sorrow, regret, sympathy and even a hint of love.

I averted my gaze from the zoned out man, who seemed like a child presently.

This would be a perfect opportunity for me to escape, I could have easily used Bob's lack of consciousness to back away slowly and run for it but there were, as always, variables to consider. What if I wouldn't be able to find my way out from the maze of hallways? And I was completely certain guards would be dotted about the building and even if I did manage to escape we were in the middle of the countryside. There was nothing and no one for miles. Only farm animals and empty fields of crops and nothingness.

There was also Will. I would feel guilty if I left him. He was as much a prisioner as I was.

Within a moment of utter silence, Bob shook his round head as if shaking off his thoughts, much like shaking an umberella in an attempt to rid it of rain.

He resumed fumbling with the set of brassy keys in his huge paw and opened the door but this time, he didn't push or shove or throw me in.

Instead he just opened the door, a sombre look gracing his face. I almost felt a sense of pity for the guy. Actually, I knew I felt pity.

I walked in slowly before the door gently closed, not in a usual crash of metal against metal.

Who was Louise? The only thing that Bob confirmed was that Lorenz had Bob wrapped around his little finger. Louise had obviously been dear to Bob and Lorenz must have done something to her. The mere thought of Lorenz made me sick to the pit of my stomach and I hadn't even known the man for a long period of time

"Are you Okay? He didn't hurt you did he?" Will sounded as he walked over towards me, taking in my appearance. Most likely observing if there were any cuts and nasty wounds on my skin much like his own.

I snapped out of my jigsaw of thoughts. I made a mental note to unearth the mystery that was Louise later.

"No, he didn't. He's a lying asshole though" I stated simply.

Will breathed out a laugh before turning and beginning to walk back over to his bed.

"Yeah, he's vindictive, ruthless and is fond of little mind games. He talks more shit than a toilet" he began laughing again and he actually had a pleasant laugh.

"You're disgusting" I commented as I sat down on my squeaky bed, lying back on the gray sheets. The mattress springs were obviously damaged and needed replaced.

"Hey! I'm a nineteen year old guy who hasn't had a beer with my buddies in a while. Give me and my boyish humour a break would you?" he smiled. He was only nineteen?

"And don't act like you didn't find it funny." He grinned cheekily again causing me to smile as well.

If we weren't in this situation I would put money on it that Will and myself would be friends.

"What can I say" I sassed sarcastically "It was a shitty joke"

Will sounded a loud laugh and I involuntarily sounded one of those unattractive only-do-it-when-alone laughs that girls usually would keep hidden from attractive guys.

At least it wasn't an attactive guy, it was only Will. My cellmate. He wasn't attractive...was he? I never actually got a good look at him.

My eyes grazed over his features. I suppose he was good-looking. Nice face, well built and charming.

"Stop staring at me" he warned in a light tone before covering his face with in pillow briefly before removing it.

"Sorry" I admitted as I adjusted my pillow

"Well if you're done staring, I'm going try to get some sleep. Night Violet" he mused and I felt a slight heat on my cheeks.

I quickly turned around on the mattress before muttering a quiet, "Night Will"

"Oh and Will?" I asked.

His head cocked around to face mine. Our beds were parallel to each others.

"Thank you for earlier"

He sighed before closing his eyes again. Sleep was evident in his demeanour.

"I'd do it again" was all he spoke before soft snores delicately escaped his half-open mouth.

I was thankful for having someone like Will.

Before my ears had time to adjust to the annoying sound of leaky pipes and mysterious, questionable little noises, I was out like a light.

Author's note:

Just a short update, I wanted this one to be a light filler chapter which explains it's lack of length.

Also I know my chapters aren't very long but I am trying to work and improve on that thank you.

Have a nice day my lil sweet potatoes ♡
