CHAPTER 11:INCAPTIVITY

CHAPTER 11: INCAPTIVITY

It's Saturday now, tomorrow Melody and I will go back to Davao. We have already toured other locations that are beautiful here in our nearby barangay as well. No matter how simple the place was I'm happy because of Melody's simplicity. "Oh, tomorrow we'll go home. How's are you feeling about it" I asked him.

"Hmmm, it's like I don't want to go home anymore, it's fun here. But, do I have a choice? Of course there's nothing so I'll just be ready." she says.

We are going to the market today to buy only a few snacks that I can prepare for tomorrow before we go home to Davao. "That's right, let's just buy some meat. This doesn't have too much fat. I'm going to pay for everything. Aid, I'll just withdraw first."

"No it's OK I'll pay for it. You might run out of money."

"I'm really going to run out of money on the little things we bought ha. Let it go, I'll just buy it for us now so go ahead and wait for me" she clung to my arm with her pouting face, this woman really is unstoppable.

"Ok ok fine. Hurry up ha I'll just have a look here first."

"All right!" she left immediately to withdraw money from the bank and came back immediately. "Oh, let's go?"

"Sure so we can make breakfast."

3RD PERSON'S POV

"Brylle, you called? What's the news and it better be good. "

"Yes boss, this is good news. I received an alert of withdrawal of money from Melodies bank acc in Pangasinan. We're gonna wait for her there if we can find her exact location and get her like we planned."

" Well that was a suprise, in all the places she could go to she chose somewhere near out warehouse. Make sure you'll find her and after that call me OK? I just need to do something with her. "

" OK boss we're on our way to Pangasinan. "

----------------

CRYSTAL'S POV

" Kuya, do you have any new updates? "I asked while we were eating.

" No.. Not yet... For now we're tracking every way to find her including a sudden pop out of her name in the Airport,so far we know she's in Manila but we don't know why she'd go there. Even bank records, so far no upd~" he came to a halt when someone called

"Hello? Dylan, you called? You got some new info? ."

"Yup bro, location of withdrawal of money this morning 8:09 am in Pangasinan. Do you know any place there she could possibly stay or anyone?"

"Crystal? Do you know anyone that staying Pangasinan? Any friends?"

"Nope kuya, we are close but not that close to know anyone's personal life really..."

"Give me the exact location Dylan, I'll try to reach her phone again if possible."

"Sige no prob bro."

"Now we know where she is. The exact location of where she is now is what we need to find out. Hey where's mom and dad?"

"Still finding them? You already know where they're always at right? ."

"Huh. They never have time."

"You said it brother."

---------------

BRYLLE'S POV

Where is that girl, she's only making our job harder tsk.. We're already here in Pangasinan, I distributed Lando and dodong to search for her in certain places already.

Where are you Melody... The faster I find you the faster this will be over.

"Boss, we heard news that there's a new girl in one of the towns here, it looks like she came from abroad or something they said, why don't we check it out."

"Are you sure? OK, find the exact location then we'll go there."

We arrived at the place they pointed out, we came here quick because we took the fast path or should I say short cut.

"Ask that lady if she saw her. Tell her the names Melody and show her the picture."

"Ate. I have a question. Have you seen this lady? Here's her picture."

"Hmm she looks familiar... Where did I see her...

"Her name's Melody."

"Melody? Tita Clara's visitor?. Yeah that's her. Yeah, their house is over there. Turn left on the third street that you'll see then the 5th house from there, their the last on the side."

"OK, thanks."

"Keep an eye on her. We'll do it at a time she's alone so no one can help her."

A few hours later I finally saw her going to a nearby store, it looks like she's gonna buy something,well obviously because it's a store.

"Ate, can i have soy sauce and vinegar please, also the choco much biscuits,two of those please thank you. "

"Get ready Lando and Dodong. Dodong help me get her in the car, Lando you're the one driving OK? And it better be quick. Understand?"

"Yes boss."

SCREEECH

I immediately went out of the van as soon as I saw her going back into their house not very far from the store and covered her mouth so as not to make so much sound, she fainted in a quick second and there were people starting to panic but before they could do anything we already kidnapped her and left.

We called the boss and he was happy with our work. We went straight to the warehouse in Pampangga and tied her up.

*MEANWHILE:

"MARENG CLARA PARENG ALFONSO!"

"What is it mare. Why are you shouting? What's going on? "

"Th-theres a.. A- kidnap! Kidnap!"

"What? Wait calm down first, what's happened?"

"Your visitor! They kidnapped her! I don't know what to do so I ran here!

"Melody was kidnapped?"

"What did you say? Melody was kidnapped ma? What do you mean she was kidnapped?! What happened." Aid said nervously

"Melody got kidnapped... Just now son..."

"WHAT?! Did you see the plate number of the care? How about their faces?!"

"I'm sorry ton.. Everything was so fast... I couldn't think properly"

Aid was off after the news not having a clue what to do and he blamed himself for not looking after her more thoroughly.

-------------------

3RD PERSON'S POV

Melody is now here with us. Oh what a shame,she's a beautiful young lady and seeing her like that well..what do I care hahahaha

"Well well well, Melody Virtuoso. The Daughter of Harmony and Luis Virtuoso."

"WH-who are you?! Let me go!"

"We're getting there princess you don't have to fret."

"What did we ever do to you?! What?!"

"Well to be honest, I wouldn't have kidnapped you this early, this was.. Never my plan for now, but since you my lady never told her parents where she went. You're now here."

"What is it that you want!"

"You... Just kidding. It's not only because that your family has a large amount of loan to my company but also because I want to take revenge for what his father did to mine."

"Why?! What did father do to your family!"

"We'll get there soon don't be in such a rush. I'm gonna call your parents and all you have to do is scream for help so that they'll follow everything I say."

I took my second cellphone out,of course a cellphone it'd be weird if I took a TV out of my pocket rightl. I dialed the number I needed to dial.

RING RING RING

Goes the cellphone from the other end until someone picked up the phone.

" Hello? This is Virtuoso speaking, who is this? "

" Well, well well. If it isn't my enemy. My mortal enemy.I just wanted to tell you that your daughter is with me. She's tied to a post and I want you to follow everything I say."

" What did you do to my daughter you animal! "

" My my, be careful with your words Luis, I mean, I wasn't the one who ran off without consulting my parents am I?" and looked at Melody .

"You can shout now Melody, let him hear your voice." I turned the loud speaker on and she screamed after removing the tape from her mouth.

"PAPA! PAPA! FORGIVE ME! I'M SORRY, PLEASE HELP ME!"?

"That's enough Melody, your father and I still have things to discuss. Anyways back to topic. You have 48 hours to do what I want. And what I want is a ransom like any other. I want 2 million pesos cash and I want it within 48 HOURS here in Pampangga. Don't be late or you'll receive the body of your child late as well.

"YOU ANIMAL! IF I FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE I'LL KILL YOU"

"Too bad I'm a person not an animal, dream all you want. Babye Luis, have a nice 48 hours to go"

That was fun wasn't it? Well I have to go back to work.

"B. E(Brylle) follow me, DD(Dodong) and LD (Lando) you watch over her ok? Don't sleep and don't go to the restroom at the same time. I don't care if she's tied just dont."

"Yes boss!"

--------------------

CRYSTAL'S POV

"Val, Crystal get ready. Where's your mom? " dad said when he arrived home early

"Mother isn't here yet, I think she's still at work. Is there something wrong?" I answered

"I know where Melody is, she's in Pampangga."

"Ha? Pampangga? But our info said she's in Pangasinan"

"No... Well yes she's there but that was before.. Be-before she was kidnapped.... She got kidnapped by our enemy..."

"What?! What do you mean!" sigaw ni Val

"The kidnapper called me a while ago and said that if we didn't give him the 2 million within 48 hours.. We're gonna lose Melody

"Damn it dad! There's gonna be nothing left if you give the remaining 2 million pesos from the company. I can't help you with that either because if our clients find out about this we're also toast, don't you have some saved up money?"

"Nothing... We put it all in the company."

"Pathetic. Business man and women but you can't even think properly

"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY! I AM STILL YOUR FATHER VALINTINO SO YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR MOUTH!"

"YOUR ARE OUR FATHER AND YET WE NEVER GOT TO FEEL IT, ESPECIALLY NOT MELODY. You are our father and yet you haven't though of saving money for emergency in such situations for the company or other things. If I knew this was gonna happen I should have taken them with me to America. " Val turned his back and started to call his friends once more to help in the crisis. I on the other hand called our friends for help too and called mother for her to come home after explaining everything.

I started to clear the things from the table when someone called.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Crystal it's me Aid! I'm here in Davao and I have something important to tell you, it's about Melody."

"Aid? What about Melody?"

"I-I didn't mean to lose my eyes on her. She just bought something and then she got k-kidnapped... I don't know what to say I'm sorry I'm sorry." he sobbed while saying these words to me.

"You know what happened to Melody?

" Yes of course. Didn't she guys tell you she was going with me to Pangasinan

? "

" So you're the one who was with Melody. No she hasn't said anything to us, and anyways why did she go with you? And why on earth couldn't we contact the both of you?"

"Wait just slow down ok..., she told me everything and that she wanted to get away for a while. Then I told her she could come with me if she asked your parents first, I didn't know that you guys knew nothing. Sorry... She requested to turn our phones off too and remove the sim for us not to be contacted or traced... I didn't think they would find us and anyways we're in the center of the province how should I know that they would find us.. "he explained with exasperation

" They traced you guys from the money withdrawal on her bank acc... I understand.. I also need to speak to you about something if it's ok. "

" S-sure.... Let's meet at a nearby cafe"

------------------

MELODY'S POV

Hmmm... I could feel my head spinning and my hands throbbing from the ropes tied against my hands. All I could feel was the dampness of the place and the darkness surrounding us... My fear escalating my vein drumming to the rhythm of my heart DUG DUG DUG DUG DUG DUG I could hear nothing else... I tried opening my eyes but the blind fold was too tight, I moved my hands in the back trying to break free from the rope...Damn it Melody calm down! Breath in... Breath out... Breath in... Breath out.. OK just try again to release the ropes.. You can do this... You've learned self defence and taekwondo for far too long dapat alam mo to!

"Lando. What time is it..."

"hmmm... It's almost five, I'm hungry and you?"

"Yeah me too... But we're not allowed to leave and we might get killed by boss if she escapes again.."

I could feel there eyes upon me.. I could feel there presence but chose to continue what I was doing as quiet and as cautious as possible.

"I mean it's only a 15 mins walk from here and we can take out if you want. Anyways her hands are tighed tightly."

"Ehh... Can you just buy me some regular fries and we can share a chicken bucket meal if you want. Also a sundae, looks like we're gonna be watching her for a long time"

"OK sure, just watch over her I'll be back soo "

Damn why can't they just both leave.. Nevermind I can handle them anyways... Hopefully. Aghhh damn these folks are good, the rope is so tight. My hands are already sore... Damn it I'm so dumb... Why did I go here without telling them! You're so dumb Melody! Then you wouldn't be here.. Water gushed from my eyes, my cheeks burning red and I knew my hand started bleeding because of the stabbing jolt in my wrist. What should I do! Damn it Melody think!
