Float

I want to know you

I woke up in the same pastel pink room except this time there was a t.v. and the nightstand was filled with medicine. I tried to remember how I got here... again. I tried getting up but got an incredible pain in my left leg. My face was also hurting. I gave up trying to get up after the tenth attempt and decided to watch the channel on the news. 

"Flora Rivera is still missing after 4 weeks and the detective Rivera, who is her mother,  has just been dropped out of the case because it has become too personal. We still do not who took Flora captive and no one knows if she is dead or alive. We have gotten more information about the case from the meeting with the commissioner Grey yesterday night.

'The case of Flora Rivera is a complicated case. We suspect that one of the criminals that her mother arrested and her father prosecuted has kidnapped  their daughter as revenge. We have our best detectives putting the pieces and looking at the last footage of Flora while our cops are out  looking for her. I will now take questions.

Question- Mr. Commissioner do you believe that Flora Rivera is at all alive?

Answer- We do not know Flora's condition, but we hope that she is alive. 

Question- Is it true that your  niece , detective Rivera  was kicked out of the investigation?

Answer- Yes. Detective Rivera was kicked out because  the case was to personal for her. She has been given some time off. 

Question- Commissioner don't you believe your wasting time by putting so many officials in the case of one kidnapped kid, it has been four weeks already couldn't the child already be dead?

Answer- Andrews right? Imagine your child was abducted by a criminal, wouldn't you want every police officer finding them. This is the child of one of my finest detectives and the NYPD will not rest until she is found. Anyone who is apart of the NYPD family will not go through such an injustice.4" 

The kidnapping of Flora Rivera is still being looked at by many officials district wise. Back to you Phil" 

Four weeks? How fucking long was I knocked out for. The door opened and it was Asim, he was holding a tray with food and holy shit did it smell like heaven but I didn't want to take anything from him. I remember it was him who did this two me. 

"I see you woke up already. You slept for two weeks its a new record." Asim said with a weird smile. "I know your mad at me and I'm sorry for what I did. For the time your here I don't want you to be mad at me. I was in a moment of rage, I didn't want you to get hurt or-

"Let me get this straight you punched me and broke my leg because you were afraid that I was going to get hurt? You see how stupid that fucking sounds right?"

"Yes, but I didn't mean to my anger just got a hold of me and uh I didn't break your leg you did when you landed on the dumpsters in the back. You have to understand I want you to go back to your family as much as you do, I just need your parents to free my dad first. After that your free to go. I'll do anything."

"So I'm just a fucking tool. Christ just leave me alone." I started to tear up for some reason.

"I can't do that Flora"

"Why the fuck not, just head out that door and never come back."

"I have to attend you first."

"what does that-"

Asim put a spoon of rice in my mouth before I could finish. It tasted so familiar. It tasted like... grandma's rice.

"You got me... my grandma's food from her store." I felt hot tears dripping down my face slowly. Fuck. I hate when people see me cry. But I couldn't help it. I started to ugly cry and Asim just sat there looking at me. It felt comforting yet weird. When I calmed down a little he continued feeding me. We didn't talk, the only noice in the room was the t.v. 

"I'm sorry for what I did. I promise I will never do anything like that ever again. But I noticed how there is nothing to do  so I asked one of my men to get something fun like a questionnaire or something like that."

"Um thanks. I appreciate the food."

Asim passed me a paper filled with questions, he started first to show me how its done." 

"My name is Asim Del Rey, my name means defender or guardian, I liked my name because it's one of the few things I have left that my parents gave me, my sister gave me the nickname Asi when we were kids, I'm 18 and I finished high school, many people have told me I appear 23, my eye color is brown."

"You liar. You made this so we can get to know each other."

"Hmm, guilty. You can't blame me if I want to know you better."

"I bet you already know everything you stalker."

"I didn't stalk you I just looked into the type of person you are and uh... you know little stuff.

Asim was so shy for some reason. For someone who kidnapped a child to get his father out of jail, of course. But I still hated him deep inside me, I just didn't want to spend the rest of my time here doing nothing. I would be bored shitless.

"So what did you -"

"Hey boss we have a problem"

"James can't you fucking see I'm busy?" The only time Asim had cussed was when he was beating the shit out of me in the woods. So he only curses when he's pissed. Noted.

"Sorry sir but you have to see this." James said lowering his head. 

"I'll be right back just fill out this form." Asim said getting up from the chair and following James.

"Asim"

"You can call me Asi." 

"And give you the satisfaction?"

Asim chucked and walked off. I looked at the paper and started answering the questions cause there was nothin left to doubt after a few questions I got bored. I looked out the window and saw  a trail of blood. Oh my god... Asim killed someone? Holy shit I couldn't;t just fucking sit around, I checked everywhere again and found nothing that would helped so I rolled over and felt on the floor. Under the bed were two crutches. I grabbed them and tried to stand up with all my strength, luckily that was enough. I went down the hall and saw and elevator in the corner. I never noticed the house was three stories tall until I  saw the levels on the elevator. Damn I really  fell that high. When I got to the first floor I looked for an exit and stumbled into the living room where there was a pig head in the table and a message that said "GIVE US THE GIRL OR YOU WILL BE NEXT" in red letters, I fucking hope that isn't what I think it is. 

"Flora what are you doing out of bed"

"I-I-I thought you did something. And I had- but I didn't know it would be this."

"James take her downstairs and stay with her. Protect her please." Asim said then turned around, "All units we have a threat, B65 look around the house, A34 search the house."

James took my arm and we went into the kitchen and went through a door, we went down a flight, and James put his hand on the wall once or twice until a door opened out of nowhere.

"What type of basement is this?"

"Its incase the house is bombed. But this room can withstand a nuclear bomb."

"What do you think is going on?"

"The Italians, they want to kill you."

"what? Why the fuck would Italians want to kill me?"

"There's a lot you don't know."

"Stay quiet now and stay here. I mean it"
