It should belong to me….

The surrounding was dark. It is just her eyes, the surrounding room felt damp and a wet rag smell is coming from somewhere. There is a strong smell of rust in the air. ‘ Am I in some kind of a storeroom?’ she thought. She felt the floor light damp, she tried to move her hand felt weak, but she pushed herself up to a sitting position. Her head felt fuzzy, ‘Where am I?’ she tried to think of what happened before. ‘ Right Tyler it was him. I am still confused why did he do such a thing and he was behind all this thing? Seriously?’ “How is your head feeling?” A very familiar voice spoke up. She looked at the direction where the sound came from. Brian was sitting there his hand was tied and it looked like he was hurt with an almost swollen left eye which was closed. He had two scratches on his face. He is sitting leaned on the wall behind him. Alya quickly crawled towards him, the room was not that big, “ What happened where are we?” She tried to untie the rope on his hands. It did not work for the first few try but when she used her teeth to bite on the knot to open the loop it worked. It had a sweat taste, she spitted out the tastes “ Ugh horrible taste.” Brian laughed at her, “ What were you expecting ? Chocolate coated rope?” She stuck her tongue out and focused back on untying the rope. After a few attempts the rope came undone. Brian moved her wrists and rubbed them; it was angry red in color. Alya looked around and asked again, “ What happened to you? How did we end up here?” Brian looked at her for a minute then reached out to pull her into a hug, “ I am so sorry, You have no idea how scared I was.” Alya was speechless for a while. She reached out to pat his shoulders, “ Can you explain to me what happened? As you can see I am fine.” Brian let go of her, he looked ruffed up by someone, “I was told to come alone, or you were going to be killed.” Alya felt her heart skipped a beat. She felt warm all over and coughed to hide it looking away to the wall on the opposite side, “ Ahem so you came here anyway without informing anyone?” Brian sniggered at her, “ Do I look like I had any choice? They sent a picture of you out cold on the floor.” Alya could not help but smile at him, “ Still that is too much risk you took for me, are you hurt anywhere else?” Brian shook his head, “ It is just bruise nothing serious.” Alya pouted her lips looking irritated, “ You have a black eye and you say nothing serious?” She still searched for any place around his body that she missed. “Did Tyler do this to you?” Brian shook his head again, “ He just ordered to make me like this. I should have known what he was going to do.” Alya sat close to him, “ You knew he was the one causing problems?” Brian nodded his head, “ I had my suspicions, but he was in the clear it was hard to directly accuse him.” Alya felt another burst of red shade all around her this time instead of shyness it was anger. She hit Brian on his shoulder. He rubbed his shoulder with an “ow”. “ Will you guys stop hiding things from me for once? ” Brian looked around searching for something, “ It was to keep you safe. We had no choice.” Alya gave him a sarcastic look, “ Yes some safe I am due to that. I am having the greatest time of my life. Did you guys ever thought of the fact that I fall in trouble because I do not know ?” Brian reached out to pat her head. “ Yes, that was my mistake the first time I saw you get hurt I made a promise I will not let you be in pain again, but you still got hurt. I am sorry can you forgive me for this? ” Alya felt steam coming out of her ears the anger melted away to be replaced with shyness. ‘ Oh my gosh he is looking so cute’ she thought and stammered to reply, “ Ahem I …..I will look around to find a way out.” She went around to look. The room was small no window one door and it is locked. She pulled a few times it did not budge. She looked around to look for anything to open the door. The last time it was someone from the other side who opened to door with her screams. She thought of screaming for help, but it was stopped. Brian, “ Do not try screaming it is of no help there. This is a private property.” He pointed at the camera which was almost hidden behind one of the shelf. Alya came back and sat beside Brian, “ So what should we do now? Others will be looking for us right?” Brian closed his eyes he looked exhausted, “ I am hoping that things work in that way.” Alya looked at him pissed, “ Did I ever mention I hated your vague like nonclear sentences?” at this Brian smiled, but before he could reply the door opened forcefully. Brian pushed Alya behind him, he looked angry at the person who just entered. Tyler stood with two guards behind him. “Ahh this is a reunion for the lovers I see.” He waved the others behind him to close the door and himself sat on one of the crate boxes cross legged please both of you grab a sit. You will be stuck here for some time.” Brian, “ What you want is between you and me. Why bring her here?” Tyler laughed at the question the kindness look somehow disappeared from his eyes it was replaced by a cunning look. “ Isn’t it obvious? She came in the middle of everything I did. Besides she was the only way to bring you here.” He grinned at them and motioned to the people behind him. “ Really fast that it.” The two bulked up men separated them forcefully and made them kneel on the ground. Brian tried to struggle a bit which made him to be handled roughly. Tyler, “ Ah do not break them I need them alive. The deal is off if they are dead.” His look went from nice to scary. Alya felt a shiver leaving her body. She glanced a look at Brian he seemed to be in pain. Alya, “ What deal? Tyler what is going on? Why are we here?” Tyler, “ You are here to bring this guy here and he is here to get me what I want. Now how long will it be till I get what I want Mr. Heimlich?” Brian did not say anything he remained silent for a moment there was anger in his face almost grinding his teeth, “ Tyler you cannot get away with this.” “ Oh, I can, and I will the question is whether you can get away from this.” He walked a bit further away from them. “ However, the question is can you get away from this?” Brian struggled to move, he was pinned down face first to the floor by his captor and his eyes closed automatically, Alya almost screamed his name at the sudden impact. “ Tyler let her go she is not in this.” Tyler laughed at this, “ She has nothing to do? Brian Heimlich the great prodigy son who came back to handle his families company with an iron hand has a weakness.” His eyes went big and he laughed out loud. “ Just think when I went to kill you that day and you escaped for the second time. To think I will see a little weakness standing in front of the door. You should have seen the tiny tears falling from this child. ” Alya was racking her head again ‘what is he talking about standing in front of the door was he?’, “You were there? Where? I did not see you.” Tyler smirked, “ No you were too busy feeling sad thinking he abandoned you. I was there close. Oh, to think I got myself a little piece like this.” He sat down one leg on another. Alya’s body shook, “ So you did all these. To think nobody suspected you.” Tyler shook his head, “ Oh I was suspected by him. I had to get others to do things for me. Imagine how easy it was to manipulate others. Those weak mind so easy to direct.” Alya, “ How could you Cynthia could have died. All for what? What was so important to risk her life like this?” Tyler grinned at her, “ All for what you ask? It is just for what is mine should belong to me.”
