IN CROWD

Chapter XII

Excuse all errors

It's been three days since she was suspended,  for three days she was locked in her room; she didn't want to be disturb so Clara knocked on door when she placed her lunch. When her hamper was filled with clothes she would leave it outside her door for her to wash.
Today her mom was coming back from her to Hondorus, she went over there with the medical team after they found out about the outbreak of Zika virus.

    She got out of bed and went to her bathroom to brush her teeth and shower. 20 minutes later she was dressed in a jeans shorts and maroon crop top with her Nike slides. She had her hair styled in two top knot buns, she applied lip gloss to her lips and smiles at herself. She heard a knock at her door "come in" she calls.

   In walks in her mother with a bright smile on her face, "mom" she screams as she ran towards her mom to engulf her in a hug. Her mother returned the warm embrace.
"You're ready?" She asked, she nods they were about to go to the mall. Her mom was dressed in a black skinny jeans with a white tank top and jeans jacket with her all black Nike Air max.

Mom look fly...

  They got to the garage when her mom grabs the keys for her Audi R8. They got in and was on there way to the mall; her mom turned on the radio, diagnosis by Runijay came on.
Mother and daughter sang along to their favourite soca song. 15 minutes later they were parked in the mall parking lot. They both got out as her mom set the alarm on her car.

  The mall was was busy with shoppers coming and going. After an hour and half of shopping. Becca and her mom went to the food court. They both order Macaroni pie, potato salad with baked chicken, pumpkin. Becca order orange juice while her mom order her food with lemonade. She glance up at her mom who was busy typing on her phone. She sighs it was rare her mom was home and she had time for her. Work took all her time.

    Natalie Steele looks up from the message  she was typing  her daughter look like she didn't want to be here; "something wrong?"

"How long are you here for?" The question has been eating her inside the moment she texted her about going to the mall. Her mother gave a close mouth smile, " a week but......."

"You not so sure" she says " you're always on call. I get you good at what you do take care of the sick making sure everything is all good but when I'm going to get my mom back. I have been celebrating my birthdays alone. You think sending expensive jewelleries, buying cars and giving me money. I just want my mom and dad" she says  as she got up and left tears streaming down her face.

   Her mom didn't get up and chase after instead she just sat their with her own tears streaming down her face; her daughter was right. She didn't have time for own daughter or even her husband David but David wasn't  innocent he too was also guilty of neglecting his daughter and they thought buying expensive gifts would solve everything but it only made Becca feel more neglect.

   She was running out the mall when she bump into someone, she groans as she glance at the person who she bump into, Omar stretch his hand out for her, she look at his hands and then at him, he was smirking at, she rolled her eyes at him and grab a hold of his hand as he pulled her up. He look at her she looked like was crying. "You okay?" He asked while searching her body for any sign of bruise.

  She nods not even able to speak he took a hold of her hand and exited the mall heading in direction of the parking lot towards his Cadillac escalade. She glance at him he smiles. 30 minutes later they pulled out of the parking lot onto the busy street. He hands her an envelope she opens it and pulls out three tickets.
"What's this?"she asked while raising her eyebrows at him.

"I'm having a party, a masqarade party". He says not taking his eyes off the road.

"Where to?"he asked her

"Home" he nods and 10 minutes later he pulled up to her parents mansion.

  She got out without saying a word. He drives away. Should she go? She couldn't help but feel something bad was going to happen.

Three days later

It was the night of the party, Lina persuade Becca into going even though she couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen her mom went on another trip this time to Thailand. She had just gotten out the shower and was walking to her closet. She grabs her ripped acid wash jeans and a long sleeve burgundy shirt, along with her black ankle boots. She wore light makeup.

  She grabs her mask and left her room in search of Lina, Eli wasn't riding with them; Lina was sitting on the sofa in the  living room, "ready" she nods as she got up Becca glance at her, she was wearing a tight fitting red dress with gold gladiator sandals. They got in Becca's gold Subaru, she then enters the address of the party into her GPS system.  30 minutes later they were parked outside a club. Club Onxy . The line to the club wasn't long. They showed there tickets and put on there masks and was ready to party. The dancefloor was packed.

   The bar was crowded as they made there way too it, they were a bit thirsty. They signal the bartender who was some boy who was in her chemistry class. Brian, they order two vodka shots each after downing there drinks they were on the dancefloor twerking. After 4 songs they went an sat on the lounge chair. While they were conversing a guy came over and asked Lina to dance. She didn't want to go and leave her alone but Becca insisted.

   2 songs later Lina didn't return back, she tired to search the dancefloor for her but there was no way she could find her in this sea of people. Sighing she gives up her search and heads to the bar. She waits for the bartender to see but when he does he hands her a drink that she didn't order. She scrunched up her eyebrows at him and points to the end of the bar where a boy behind a black and white mask stood watching her.
   She grabs the drink and drinks it, when she glance back in his direction he was gone. She shrugs her shoulders and finish the rest of the drink. She decides to call it a night as she was about to get up from the bar stool she stumbled, she  giggled as she pushes her way out the club. She tired the lock on her car door it was locked; rummaging through her purse she gets the keys.

  She was trying to keep her hands steady to push the keys in the lock but it kept shaking. She hears footsteps behind her when she trims around she notice the guy from the bar. She was still wearing her mask. "Hey you" she says, he didn't say nothing he just kept watching her. Becca didn't like the way he was watching her so she screamed for help but no one came to her rescue. Everyone was inside the club, so she ran and they guy was hot on her tail chasing after.

"Help me, someone help me"she screams again as she ran for her life but still no one answers. She grabs her phone out of her purse with shaky hands she dials a number but before she could say hello, she fell. The guy laughs as he came closer to her. She drags herself still crying out for help.

"We are alone pretty girl"her attacker says.

"Please don't do this, I can get you money just name a price" she cries out.

" I don't want your money you filthy piece of shit"he says.

"Then what do you want. I can get it."she tells him but he didn't listen he grabs her by her ankle screaming when she was close to him he pulls out a rag and small bottle he pours the content of whatever was in it on the rag and puts to her nose. In a matter of minutes she out cold.
