"Modunam Box", I repeated with a confused expression.
He ignored and continued looking at the box with a more keen and focused expression.
Seeing this, I remembered what I vowed earlier and pinched myself for ever opening my mouth in the first place.
But isn't that the same box Kelvin was talking about?
How did Caleb get it?
I turned to Mary, whose head was rested on my shoulder looking really tired and broken. Her hair messy, her face reddish and her lips dry.
I turned to myself, looking at my blue jean which was now damp and smelly, I felt worse.
Looking at Mary once again, I couldn't help but remember what we had just gone through in Caleb's absence.
……
After Kelvin's ability display and exit, I and Mary remained in the dark abandoned warehouse. The rays of lights only found their way to us through the few locked windows located at the uppermost parts of the warehouse.
My wet thighs made me alot more uncomfortable; screamed a couple of times, all to no avail.
With my hands tied so tight blood found it difficult to get there, it got to a point both mind hands felt numb.
To make matters worse, Mary refused to answer my call and I couldn't turn back to see her. But instinctively just felt I wasn't alone.
Just when I decided to give up and hope that Caleb shows up, the door was pushed open once again.
"Caleb!", I called with great expectation as tears ran down my eyes.
"It's Kelvin bitch! Caleb isn't far though; I need you to scream as loud as you can!", He said.
"What?!", I exclaimed a bit bewildered.
"Grrrr!", He grunted in irritation as he hastingly walked beside me, grabbed Mary's chair and pulled it closer.
"Mary!", I said excited to see Mary. Although unconscious but safe.
"Hurry up bitch! If you don't scream, I am going get this girl badly wounded!", He commanded.
"Help!", I called.
"Louder!", He demanded.
"Help!!", I yelled some more.
Like a spinning fan, his hand flew towards Mary's face.
And stopped directly before her face. The breeze generated from his hand's motion alone was able to blow her hair into a bit of mess.
Amidst this, I screamed: "Mary!!!"
"The next won't stop without making contact!", He said raising his hand once again.
A slap that powerful should knock Mary's head off her body.
"Help!!!!!!!!", I screamed as loud as I could.
"Yes I can hear you, come in!", He said with his hand on his ear, seemingly having a call.
"Alright!", He said and turned to me.
"You are lucky!", He said and sped off.
It felt like I used up all my energy for that scream, I was tired and helpless.
Mary on the other hand didn't seem to know what was going on. Her head remained tilted foward and just like me, her hands were tied up.
A few minutes later, we began to hear sirens. I surged up a bit of energy once again.
"Help", I called so light someone at the might not have heard. I was too weak to scream.
To my greatest surprise, almost like they knew, they broke the door and made way for a fat man to come in.
"Here they are! It wasn't false!", The fat man said as he hastingly walked towards us.
"Quick, cut the ropes!", He commanded.
And the cops obeyed immediately. The knifes went through the ropes, I could feel the blood finding its way into my hands.
As soon as they cut the ropes, I fell but was supported by one of the cops.
"Have you apprehended the kidnappers?!", The fat man spoke on his phone.
"They aren't armed?!", He added seemingly surprised.
"Two teenagers and sleeping men?!", He addded.
"What do you mean they are still talking! I'll be right there!", He said and turned to the cop holding Mary.
"Let me have that one!", He said like one choosing a drink.
"But sir!", The cop said a bit hesitant.
After a fierce glance from, the cop quickly handed Mary over.
I didn't put this in my eyes, all I wanted was to get out of here.
Afterwards, he took us to the car, asked me to go into the van so I don't get his sits damp with my urine while he sat in the car with Mary.
After a few minutes, we got to another warehouse like building.
They led us in. This one was alot more organized, seemingly in use. In there were stacked up cartons piled up to the top of the warehouse. The room was filled but they left room for a walkway.
Through the walkway, we walked until we got to a huge safe.
"We at the front of the safe, open!", The fat man yelled.
And in a few s seconds the safe was opened.
When we got in, we saw Caleb and Kelvin, but couldn't detect who was who.
The mean man whom was identified as Prof. Malahang seemed like the main threat, the master mind behind Kelvin, one with a seemingly strong background. If for any reason he escapes from these cops, which I strongly believe he will, we are in big trouble.
Not just I, Caleb and Mary, but mom, dad Mary's mom and probably her dad.
It's still feels very much like a dream to me. Mine and my bestie's entire family is roped up in a mess caused by the presence of this cute boy who doesn't seem to be scared.
If Mr. Malahang reinforces, can we really keep up with this?
"Flow, Oo Heat, Grow…", he said looking at the box in a puzzled manner.
"Flow, Oo Heat, Grow…", he repeated.
"Uhh?", I exclaimed looking at him.
"That's how to open the box. Flow, Oo Heat, Grow.", He repeated looking in the air, with a thoughtful expression.
To be continued……
