“You need rest”Sam suddenly blurted out. “You look tired. So rest” she stated firmly.
Lannon raised his head and looked at her”you don’t tell me what to do”
“Hey, I’m Sam. So you better find a way to tidy yourself before your uncle’s burial. I mean, look at you!”her face held somewhat of an expression Lannon couldn’t detect.
“Your friend is in danger, you know that?”he decided to divert her topic of discussion.
She rolled her eyes”Well the woman you love is in danger. So we should both be reminded” she retorted.
His gaze moved to the mouth she had just used to speak then to her eyes. He was speechless. Love? It was more like a confused feeling he had?
“You can’t deny the fact that you’re in love with her. That explains the whole situation”Sam’s hands moved in different directions as she spoke.
Lannon was silent for some minutes before he finally spoke,
“Leave now!”he said.
Sam knew she had to leave anyway so she moved over to him and patted his shoulder,
“Have a good rest and try sorting out the feelings you have for my best friend “she said and then left the room.
Once she was gone, Lannon flopped on the bed tiredly. Lila’s name kept ringing in his head.
He always had the urge to protect her and she ignited fire within him, that didn’t mean he loved her. ‘Like’, could be the perfect word to describe what he felt for her.
Not like he hadn’t had past girlfriends, but he never really had time for them. So he didn’t really know much about love. What he had for Lila he’d never experienced. And the fact that they had just spent approximately ten days together. How could it be possible, he loved her?
He suddenly widened his eyes in realisation that he was thinking so deeply about Lila. Since when had he really done that last? High school probably. No, it was totally absurd to him. No way, could he love Lila. It was just mere body and sëxual desires he had for her and maybe he liked her a little. That was all.
With that thought, he laid properly on the bed and closed his eyes before he succvmbed to the heavy sleep weighing his eye lids.

“Lila, you don’t leave here”
“No, I’m leaving Lannon. Cause I h@të you so much!”
“Lila…”he called
But she was already walking away.
“Is she dreaming?”she heard a voice but when she turned back Lannon was no longer there.
“Get the teaser scott”she heard again and she began to wonder where the voice was coming from.
She turned back again”Lannon? Are you still there”she asked.
Suddenly, she felt something touch her and the next she was being electrified.
Her eyes flickered open immediately and she was panting, breathing hard and choking at the same time. When the electrification finally stopped, her eyes was dizzy but she was still able to see the person that crouched to her level where she was tied to a pole.
“Rodger….”her mouth that held her pale lips muttered. “Please water….” she muttered exhuastingly, her head hanging low like she was about giving up.
“She said she wants water guys”Rodger turned to the other group of boys behind him laughing.
“Lets give her urine instead “Scott, the one who had brought the teaser earlier, joked and everyone burst into laughter.
Lila raised her head and looked at everyone with her heavy eyes. There were, five men and plus Rodger, they were six. All of them looked notorious but she really needed to eat something or she might die of starvation. She noticed that the sun was shining brightly and the rays penetrated the few glass windows of the ware house and somehow lit the place a little. So it was afternoon already, she concluded.
“Scott, get her something”she finally heard Rodger say and excitement lit up in her but her weak body couldn’t even show anything.
She was served few slices of bread and a cup of water but they put the food at a distance, she couldn’t even get it. Plus her hand was tied behind her so she began to use her legs to pull the tray of food towards her.
Rodger gave a final smirk before he stood up and was about leaving with the boys when he heard her weak voice,
“Please don’t hurt Lannon”she said, tears slowly trickling down her cheek. “Please don’t hurt him”she cried.
He walked back to her and crouched down to her level again, then took the water from her tray and poured it on her. She gasped immediately but tried as much as possible to position her mouth in a way little water could enter.
“You focus on your life, you hear me!”
She nodded immediately as more tears flowed down her cheek and through her blurry vision she watched them finally leave. Tears dropped to her now imperfect gala gown.
“Please Lannon. Please”she prayed endlessly.
*****
The next day at exactly 12pm, it was raining while Mascow Davit’s burial was going on.
So everyone was dressed in black as they also held a black umbrella to shield them from the rain as they put Mascow to lay to rest.
“We anoint this body with the power of God, the angels and saints recieve him and God accept his soul”the priest prayed and everybody echoed amen.
Lannon was behind the congregation while Sam stood beside him as she held an umbrella up above their heads, of which both of them stood under.
After few minutes, people began to disperse and Lannon watched every single person leave, including the priest. Then, slowly he left under the umberella and walked up to his uncle’s grave before dropping a flower by the tiled platform.
Sam watched from a distance as he fell to his knees and weeped, the rain drenching his black outfit.
He was there for over fifteen minutes before he finally stood up and came to join her back under the umbrella.
“You feel better now?”Sam looked at him concerned.
“We have to hurry. No much time left. We have to find Lila”he quickly said instead of replying her question.
“Where do we start?”Sam asked.
“I don’t Füçking know” he grunted frustratingly. “But I know she is definitely kidnapped”he said. Somehow he had a feeling, Rodger was behind all this but he wasn’t so sure. Because he hadn’t really seen Rodger even if he claimed to have repented. He never believed.
His phone began to ring and he brought it out from his pocket and it was an unknown number. He picked the call and placed the phone to his ear. He didn’t speak.
“Finally, Lannon, this number finally went through. Hah! What a privilege to speak with you again” he heard someone rant through the other line of the phone.
His eyes darkened cause he recognised that voice so much. “RODGER!”he clenched his fist angrily.
