"S...o..r..r..y...I guess I entered the wrong room, I'll be taking my leave now" I trembled and still attempted to leave
"Which room are you looking for?" The other man asked
"Room 101" I replied in total belief that it was not the same room
"This is the room, what do you want?" The third man asked
"Mr. Watson has sent me to come and take his briefcase" I replied concentrating on checking the wardrobe till my eyes landed on the briefcase and as soon as possible I started walking towards it before a sudden phone call interfered
"Hello boss" One of the men picked up
"Yes, she is inside" he answered and received some additional instructions that I had no idea what they were about then he hanged up
"Little girl, why do you want to rush out without doing what you've been told to do?" He asked and I was surprised
"I've been told to fetch the briefcase and that's what I want to do" I responded courageously
That man followed me where I was standing and started roaming around me touching my waist. I was frightened and puzzled, I slapped him something which really pissed him off . He grabbed me by force and pushed me to his fellows, they laughed so loudly at me and destructed my confidence but I did not stop to struggle.
I struggled till I managed to escape from their reign not knowing how it happened exactly. I rushed outside and put the shoes off, as I was running I luckily ran into a hotel maid
"Sis, there are strange men in there.. please help me , I need to get something important from that room but they wouldn't let me.." My breath was as rapid as if my lungs were about to burst
She looked at me as if I had feases scattered on my face for a while and said.. "Get out of my sight, I never negotiated any assistance deal with you.. you sell your body on your own decision, why bother others.. " she replied and started leaving
"No please, I'm not selling my body.. it is a misunderstanding, please help me.." I cried for her help
"Let go of me!! Don't get me into your stupid mess, you took yourself to the room.. did you think you were going to grab some chocolates and leave?? Hahaha.. it is a hotel room.. I feel sorry for your parents, you must be a school girl and here you are.. ruining your youth over fancy things.." she spoke as if she knew me well and it clicked beyond my patience
"What!!? I might be in need of your help but the insults are next level.. I feel sorry for your parents as well, you might be of a young age but your appearance surpasses my mother's appearance... Go away.. I don't need your help... it is my body that pays you anyway.." I rolled my eyes acting all way courageous
After talking to her, I didn't want to swallow my pride and run away... she would think I'm scared of her, so I gathered my strength and walked past her slowly like a real gangster. On my way out, I met Mr. Watson and I felt a bit of relief
"Sir, oh! Thank God I met you.." I sighed in relief.. "There are strange people in the room.. I couldn't get the briefcase... they couldn't let me"
"Strangers?" He looked worried.. " Come, let us go together"
I started the journey with Mr. Watson back to the room that the strangers were.. I felt relieved.. a huge relief..
