Chapter 132 - IN DANGER
The moment I closed the door and the walked to through the long and narrow hallways to return the room key card to the front desk my heart ominously began to beat an erratic rhythm.
Oftentimes when this uncomfortable feeling arises, I will simply kick it away and it will be gone. However, the dark feeling didn't fade after I pushed it away. Instead, it intensified which tells me to be wary of dangers waiting for me.
As I strode outside the hotel with my backpack slung behind my back, I instantly sensed I'm being watched. The longer I stood there, the more I feel uncomfortable.
No one would dare to attack me in broad daylight so I would be safe for a moment.
No one would attempt to harm me in this place full of people.
My hawk-sharp eyes darted to the crowd.
My alerted gaze surveyed?left to right. So far, I found no suspicious person but I didn't let my guard down. Not yet, I still sensed the impending danger waiting to befell on me.
I waited for a cab to pass. I would be going to the airport so I needed one. I didn't wait long before I spotted the cab approaching my way, I hailed it right away until it stopped in front of me. I pulled the door open and placed my backpack on the backseat before I climbed inside and closed the door.
The unpleasant scent of air freshener invaded my nostrils, it was making me dizzy. Somehow, the air that wafted inside the car made my stomach turn upside down. Nausea descended on me, my finger clutched the seat in front of me to keep myself from falling on the floor.
"To the airport, please." I ordered and I realized that my voice sounded weak.
Upon hearing my words, the driver wordlessly started the engine and the car moved forward.
I sunk into the back seat and closed my eyes tight. Perhaps, the nauseating feeling would flee after a minute of rest. I've been up all night and it's no wonder I'm feeling unwell. I was sleep-deprived and that explains the sudden dizzying feeling.
After ten minutes passed, my eyes fluttered open only to realize that my dizziness didn't diminish. I felt a lot worse than I did before. This time, my vision was beginning to lose its focus and my surroundings were turning a bit hazy.
What is happening to me? I asked myself weakly and fought hard to maintain my focus but my struggles were to no avail.
My energy dropped until I could no longer move my limbs and my legs. I tried to struggle but my whole body was paralyzed. I tried to scream for help but there was no sound emanating from my lips.
And the sudden realization hit me. It took me a moment before the truth sunk inside my head, the room was filled with a smoke from a chemical.?The nauseating smell inside the cab was a drug that could momentarily paralyzed someone… and make that person slowly lose consciousness.
I didn't realize it immediately until it's too late. I was already snared into a trap I couldn't escape.
Despite my weakening body, I managed to lift my face to the driver's seat. I saw the man's reflection in the mirror. He possessed a pair of ocean blue eyes like mine. Even while wearing a mask, I still recognize him.
Before I could say his name out of my lips, my head fell back to the cushioned seat and I lost my consciousness.
I didn't know how long I'd been unconscious when I roused from my sleep slumber. I tried to lift my eyes open but it was so heavy that my eyelids could barely move.
The car skidded into a stop and the engine stopped. I heard the sound of the door opening closing as the man on the driver's seat climbed out of the car. Seconds later, the door on my left opened and I was dragged and dragged to the floor and left there.
The car door slammed shut. The footsteps walked past me until I couldn't hear it anymore. While my captor was away, I tried to move a body part only to realize that even my fingers refused to move.
I wonder how long this numbness would last. I don't even know where the hell I am or if I will still be alive before the sunset.
The footsteps were back. It is now approaching my way. Then I felt my body move as someone dragged me to the floor by pulling my feet.
Excruciating pain hit my body as my back rubbed against the pebbled ground before it reached the cemented pavement. A door was opened and I was dragged inside. The smooth and cold surface of the ceramic floor?told me I was inside the house.
Again I was dragged across the tiled floor until another door opened and I was pulled inside before the grip on my feet loosened.
I forced my eyes open but I couldn't. I tried to move my body again but failed once more. I blindly listened to my surroundings. I know that he was still there despite not making a sound.
My head began to spin. A sudden sleepiness striked me again. The nauseating scent of a chemical invaded my nostrils. I would die of suffocation if I stopped breathing. I could only hold my breath for two minutes. I gasped and inhaled a mass of smoke.
The door creaked open and someone entered the room then slammed the door none too gently. Angry shouts filled the room as the two argued. I couldn't identify the second man who just entered the room since I'm beginning to feel groggy. I couldn't even understand what was going on with my eyes firmly closed.
But before I drifted back into a deep slumber, I heard the sound of a fragile object falling to the floor with a piercing crash. Then there was a long, forceful struggle between the two before a body fell to the floor with a heavy thud.
