The Size of our hearts

28

I was shaking out of my skin, it got harder to breathe with every passing second. I was pacing up and down the hallway and lacing and unlacing my fingers. I wanted to call but I didn't want to be a distraction.

'Where could my mom be?' That question raced through my head over and over again and I got more and more anxious every time I didn't come up with an answer. She was definitely with Ibrahim, there was no doubt in my brain and the thought of that scared me even more. Then it came to me, the man at the airport wasn't sent by the Saud, He was sent by Ibrahim to kidnap us for whatever reason.

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and called Jafaar. He picked on the first ring. "Hey, I know you're scared we're tryi-" He started.

"Jafaar" I yelled into the phone.

"Yeah?" He said impatiently.

"You and Hamid should find the nearest soldier and get out of there now, my mom isn't there and I know how to find her, when you find a soldier tell them to get you back to the motel and that the order is from Denver Scott." I said quickly.

"Neveah are you sure we can-"

"Jafaar can you please just trust me and get back here." I retorted.

"Okay, okay we will" He said as I hung up immediately.

I rushed back into the motel room. "Officer Scott"

"Yeah" He answered immediately.

"The man that tried to kidnap us, where is he?"

"He's being held in the van, why?" He asked, concerned.

"I think he knows where my mom is." I said quickly.

"What do you mean?" My Dad asked equally concerned.

"The entrance to the Saud was way too easy to blow up, that means they didn't know we were here." I rambled.

"Yeah, they didn't" He replied obviously.

"Then who sent the man at the airport?" I asked, irritated.

"That's what we're trying to figure out, listen just sit down and let us handle it" He said calmly.

"Are you even listening to me, I think I know who sent the gu-" I said as I stepped forward to get through to him.

"Neveah we can't just act on your thoughts, we need facts." He said sternly.

"Ibrahim raped my mom, he threatened her and imprisoned her, officers show up at the Saud and he disappears along with my mom, we almost got kidnapped at the airport, I don't see where the coincidence!" I replied angrily.

He stood there silently, obviously uncomfortable.

I stormed out of the motel and ran down the stairs, I was out the front door before I knew it.

I raised my palms to eye-level to keep the sun out of my eyes. I noticed a black van and walk over to it, the back door was open and the man from the airport sat in the boot with this arms chained to a hook of some sort.

There was an officer guarding the door, He stepped towards me to ask me to move back, I reached forward and grabbed his gun from his belt and pointed it at him, he grabbed his transceiver and yelled some words into it.

I yelled at him to move back as Officer Scott and my Dad came running out of the foyer.

"Neveah! What the hell are you doing?" My Dad yelled angrily.

Two officers arrived at the scene both pointing their guns at me. Fear ran through me but I stood firm and kept the officer at gunpoint.

"Put your guns down!" Officer Scott yelled and they obeyed immediately.
