Chapter Thirteen

"I warned you," says Julia pointing a gun to the back of MR. Royals head, he is on his knees with his hands up in the air.

"I did what I needed to do."

What have you done with my daughter? Royal does not respond.

Julia looks around in the cell, "you do know I am trained to get information out of everyone?"

Royal, as he turns his head, Julia his the back of her gun to his face. As he falls to the ground, she pulls him up by the hair.

"I will not ask you again where is my daughter?"

"you are smart. Should t you know where she is?" he smirks.

Julia now pulls him by the hair in the dark cell with one dim light inside and demands he sits on the chair.

"We will do it your way then," she says, taking a screwdriver and stabbing it into his right hand into the armchair as he screams in agony.

You will pay for this. Julia walks calmly around and grabs his hair lifting his head facing her.

"Do you think I have not come across men like you? I have come across far worst men than you.

Julia handcuffs his hand to the chair as he looks up.

"No matter what you do to me, you would not get her back."

Julia smiles, "oh, I would not get her back?"

She then takes a can and looks down to the ground, "do you know what happens if a rodent does not have any escape?"

Royal had never heard of this tactic before as he looked at her, wondering her intentions.

Julia sharpens the blade of her knife on the concrete wall, walking over to him.

"I kept being an agent for years from my family when they thought I had left the agency, playing a double role, not that you would care because you one ungrateful son of a bitch, she says with anger, but I will change. That today."

Julia lifts a rat by its tail and drops it in the can, lifting Royals shirt, "this is your last chance to tell me where is my daughter?"

Royal is now able to figure out what she is going to do. This is a tactic used to scare people but never done. Royals blood of his hand is dripping onto the concrete floor as the rodents run around it. In a split second, Julia slices her knife through Royal's finger, letting it fall to the ground.

"You bitch" he screams, " you will pay for this. The agonizing pain is unbearable as he looks down to see his finger the rodents are eating on it."

"What have you done?" Nothing as yet, she says. We are just getting started.

Where is my daughter, she repeats? "Even if I knew I would not tell you, she spits at her."

"Well, I have tried being nice to you," Julia takes the can with the rodent in it and places it to his belly hole. He feels the rat already trying to escape. It is biting to his stomach.

"What do you think will happen if I heat this can?"

You would not dare, "I will go to extreme lengths to protect my family. Julia now starts heating the can as MR. Royal screams feeling the rat trying to claw its way through his navel."

"Okay, okay, stop," he screamed. Julia removes can his navel, "I stopped. Are you willing to tell me where my daughter is?"

"Yes, get me a glass of water he pleases."

Julia fills his glass up with water. As she is about to put the glass to his mouth, she pulls it back, "first, tell me, where is my daughter?"

Mr. Royal looks down to the ground

"I am sorry."

"Sorry? I do not want your pity; I want my child, she snaps."

"The Arabs," he pauses. They bought her. You sold my little girl to Arabs, says Julia, furious?

" They approached me and said she is special?"

"What do they know about her?"How did they find out whatever they thought was special about her?

Her eyes changed color. During the research, we approached one of them to get more answers. That is when they offered £3 billion for her.

"Why would you sell her? She is only a little girl."Julia wants to burst into tears but has to maintain her composure.

How do I get her back, and we give back the money? "I can't give back the cash that

we do not have."

What do you mean cash that you do not have? "Jack stole it all, and we unable to trace him. He ghosted us."

"He stole the money right under your noses?" I do not believe you, "take my phone in the right pocket and check the video recording on my phone,"

Julia removes the phone from his pocket and sees the video, Jack loading the cash in the back of the van.

"This is one big mess that you made, and you are going to fix it by going to them and getting my girl back."

They are watching Julia "how do you expect me to get her back?"

"You have 24 hours else I will be coming for you. She unties his wrist. Wait, one more thing says Julia look to your right side in the mirror.

Julia switches on the light as he looks over to his right. It is his wife, and two kids' mouths gagged close. Royal attempts to attack Julia as Julia turns to the side and trips him to the ground placing her right knee to the center of his back and pointing the gun to the back of his head, "you are bringing out the worst in me."

"Stand up and go find Jack she demands."

All along, Jack has been playing them both. Arabs are all over this world. How is she going to find her daughter?

Maybe Thomas can help her, "Julia rings Thomas's phone."

" It is me, Julia" you should not be calling this number. We are being watched. "You do not need to worry. I have got Royal."

"It is not Royal we should be worried about."

What do you mean being watched by who?

The Royals bosses whispers they saw the footage of you taking Mr. Royal, and they put a price on your head. This whole building is on lockdown.

"You need to lay low, and this virus is a deadly airborne virus. It can kill you within minutes."

I know all that. Where is my daughter Thomas? She is not here. After witnessing her eyes change color, they conducted multiple experiments on her. "Julia start to cry?" What did they do with my baby?

I wish I could answer, was there Arabs? Not that I know of?

What money did Jack take? The government fund was released to pay for antidotes, so my daughter is there? She should be are on complete lockdown and no one in or out.

Thanks, Thomas, "that son of a bitch lied to me."Julia walks up to Royal

"Listen, I have had enough of your bullshit. Where the hell is my daughter?"

I told you the Arabs took her. Fine says Julia" she now cuts of his other finger. He screams in agony before passing out.

She takes a bucket of cold water and tosses it in his face as he wakeup. She takes wet clothe and covers his face, and pours water over the clothe For ten seconds.

Pulling the cloth off his face, are you ready to talk? "Yes, he says she is in the cell in the underground as he tries to catch his breath."

He passes out due to blood loss.

Julia exits, leaving jack untied in the chair, walking to the bathroom, and rinsing her face looking up in the mirror. Her hands are covered with his blood her white vest is stained with his blood.

She removes her vest and changes into another top.

She then goes down to the basement and prepares to get together her ammunition. Robert enters the cellar. Where are you going? To dave our daughter, why did you let them take her? Why did they release you and not her?

I was not released, Jack unlocked the cell, and I could not find Kathy.

Julia looks at Robert. I tried. I looked all over they mentioned something about her eye color changing? "Her eyes do not change color. It is all a big mistake now our baby girl is frightened."

Robert feels guilty for not looking longer. He then leans down and takes out two guns. You can,t do this alone. I am going with you. What about the virus in the air? I never gave you the antidote?

Robert looks at her. I will wear that space outfit, Robert jokes, "you seriously have time for a joke while people are dying and our daughter is missing?"

"She will be fine."

Robert arms himself. As they both set off in the jeep, it is almost nightfall, and the roads are quiet as they see dead animals alongside the road.

This is it, she says to him.
