Dilemma

Chapter Thirteen :Rescue

When the door creaked and opened I knew I had lost.

When the figure got closer, he smelled familiar, yes my nostrils knew those scents so well because I sniffed them a lot.
"Nathan!  Nathan!  Please help me! Please"

But instead he sounded like a woman, was this a nightmare.
"Jane is that you? She didn't sound like jane. She didn't sound like anyone I knew at all."

She had an accent just like Nathan's, did guardian angels really exist, turned out mine was English. She flashed her torchlight and saw the state I was in. She told me that she had a lighter with her and that it was the only way to free me. I knew what I was getting into when I told her to burn the rope.

I felt the burn on my hand and after some minutes I could wiggle my hand, I managed to slip out my hands but not without tearing part of my flesh that had received burns. I was too preoccupied with thoughts of escape to notice or feel the pains from the burns.

She helped me put on my clothes and we were on the move.
She never spoke a word again, till we reached the exit,
She told me that two men were also around and that she shot one, she seemed to have known what was going on with the way she described the men. She had left trail of blood from the one she shot and managed to move his body to another place just to distract them.

One had gone to get supplies, all I could think of was a way of getting out of the place alive. We managed to get to the gate only to discover it was locked, shooting the lock would attract the men she said.

"Wait, I think I heard someone, quickly come let's hide"

This lady was a total stranger and she was helping me, It didn't add up. So when we ducked and hid behind the car I asked her who she was.

"I'm Sophia Joseph, you're well acquainted with my son and husband, "
How was this true?  Wasn't she supposed to be in Australia recovering?

"My hus.. Nathan probably told you about me, I messed up big time and I want to make amends, I came to Nigeria about a month ago, I've been following Nathan and Scott around. I'm just too scared to approach them. When I saw you come over to their house, I thought you were a threat to me and I decided to get close to you so that I can get you out of the way.

But umm I saw you playing with my son in school one day, the way he hugged you and laughed. I felt bad, and I decided to stop. Not until a week ago, I followed you to school hoping to get a chance to talk to you, but I found out that someone else was following you. My instincts told me to maintain my distance and watch them and when they finally abducted you. I knew my guts were right. My father was a soldier, I know a lot about these things and drugs too.

She looked sad

"Maybe I can get my family back now, I want them back and you're the only one who can help me"

I was more than surprised, but can I help her with what she  wants. Nathan and I might have crossed the friend boundary. Nows not the time to think about this Mer, we have to escape.

It felt as if footsteps were coming towards us, we became very quiet and by the time I knew it, Sophia had cocked her gun. I moved over to her side praying that the people coming would not harm us.

"Shhhhh, let's hide behind the car, I don't think anyone is there" I heard someone say, but the voice was too familiar was that Gina "
