Everything was dark. Sophia had been blindfolded since being kidnapped. She could only hear the voices of two men. Sophia had no idea where she was, nor the why of being there. Fear of the unknown took control of the girl, and all she could do at that moment was cry.

"So, what are we going to do now?" asked the youngest of the kidnappers.

"Let's call the boss" replied the older man.

The younger one approached Sophia, she was sitting on top of several newspapers scattered on the floor.

"Hey, I'm going to untie your feet ... but you do not think of doing any bullshit" he said as he untied the ropes that tied the girl's feet.

Sophia just cried "I want my dad" she whispered in tears.

"Your father can not save you ... he's lucky to still be alive".

"I WANT MY DAD" she shouted loudly.

"SHUT UP STUPID CHILD" he shouted and slapped the girl's face.

"I want my dad" she sobbed softly.

"You want your dad ... no problem, I can handle this" he began to caress the girl's leg, taking his hand inside the small dress.

"NO!" she screamed.

He slapped her face again, leaving her skin red.

"What are you doing?" the older man asked.

"Just welcoming our guest" the youngest had a mischievous grin.

"What's your problem? She's just a kid!" rebuked him.

"Why do you care? I do not know if you remember, but we just kidnapped her" he mocked.

"And I do not know if you remember, but we're being paid well to keep this child here ... I do not think the boss will like to know she's being raped".

"He does not have to know ... I will not tell if you do not tell him" he teased.

"Man, you're a sick idiot ... I think we'd better call the boss" the older man pulled away and picked up his cell phone.

"Keep still here ... I'll be back little girl" the youngest stroked the girl's face before stepping away.

"Chief, we've got the package" said the older man.

"Okay, now all you have to do is keep the package safe until the day of delivery" the chief said.

"All right".

"I contacted you in a few weeks" said the chief, and then hung up.

Sophia was alone in the same position where she had been left. The two men had gone out to buy food.

"Mom and Dad, I miss you ..." she cried softly.

Sophia did not feel well, her body was very hot, and the rope that bound her hands was hurting her.

"Dinner's here" she heard the younger guy speak.

"Are you hungry?" asked the other man.

"No ..." she whispered, already losing her strength and fainting over the newspapers.

"FUCK!" shouted the older guy.

The younger one came and took her in his lap.

"She has a fever" he said.

"Damn, there's no remedy here".

"Well, it looks like you have to get out and get some remedy" he took a lock of her hair and placed it behind her ear.

"I will not leave you alone with this child" said the elder.

"So it seems we have a deadlock" joked the younger.

The older man took a gun and looked at the younger man's face "I think you'd better go out now and buy some remedy".

"Okay, I was just jokin" he said while he placed Sophia on the floor.

The younger left leaving the older man alone with the girl. The man approached Sophia and sat down next to her. He kept watching her while she was still unconscious.

"I'm sorry to have taken you away from your family, but I really need this money .... I need to buy remedy for my daughter" the man had a look empty, his words came out almost in a whisper.

Sophia opened her eyes after a while. She was blindfolded no longer. The girl looked around, everything looked old and dusty, a small room with poor lighting e few furniture.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" asked the older man. Sophia looked at the man and saw that he was wearing a mask to hide his face.

"My whole body hurts" she had a hoarse voice.

"You'll be fine, but you need to eat something" he brought her a plate of food. Sophia kicked the plate away.

"Look, child, I really do not want you to get hurt ... you need to behave. We're going to spend a long time here and you're going to have to get used to it".

"I do not like you" she shouted.

"I expected to hear this" the man said as he untied her hands. Then he put a chain on one of his feet.

"What's your name?" she asked innocently.

"You can call me Bobby" the man said.

"Bobby ..." she said before fainting again.

***

"Hey child, wake up" Bobby shook Sophia trying to wake her.

"Mom ... I want ... my mom" she whispered stunned.

"She's delirious, the fever has increased" Bobby put his hand on the girl's forehead and felt her skin even warmer "Luke, give me the remedy with some water".

"We should let her burn, she deserves it" Luke said.

"Shut the fuck up, idiot, if she dies, we will not get the fucking money" Bobby said irritably.

"I get it now, man, you're in love with the girl, but I got here first" Luke mocked.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Bobby approached Luke and pushed him against the wall.

"I was just kidding, you did not enjoy a joke, did you?"

"Shut the fuck up." Bobby walked away and took the remedy.

Shopia was alone again. Her body still ached, and she felt very cold. There was no mattress or sheet. The girl was lying in fetal position over some newspapers. Tears rolled down her face. It was not long before the girl fell asleep.
