I couldn’t breathe. Boris looked at me, and I looked down on the gun he was holding. He looked down at his gun and lifted it. He said, “It’s only a gun. You always carry one too.” I looked at him and he said, “What is wrong? Were you listening to every word we said? Do you want me to repeat the conversation I had with Vicky?”
He sounded serious and I couldn’t talk. He said, “Do you want to go back to your room, which I recommend because of your head, or we can go somewhere else?” I gasped and said, “Somewhere else?” He nodded and looked at me. His gun was still lifted, and he said, “Where do you want to go?”
He was losing his patience, and lowered his gun and placed it on his side. He said, “I will help you back. Can you walk?” I kept looking at him, stunned and I felt dizzy. He said, “I will take you back to your room. I don’t think you can walk anymore.” He lifted me and carried me back to the room. He came closer to the door and lowered his body a bit to tap the key code on the panel. The door opened.
He walked in and closed the door behind him, and walked to the bed. He placed me on the bed and said, “I will hook you back up in a minute.” He pulled back his sleeve, and tapped with his index finger on the small panel on his wrist. After a minute he said, “I don’t think we should stay here much longer, but I can’t risk your health. I have been ordered to have you leave this compound soon.”
“Who wants me to leave?” I said with short breaths. He finally lifted his head and looked at me and said, “The Triangle Authority.” I said, “Why do they want me? What have I done?”
He frowned and said, “You have something Intelligence needs, and will kill you, as they tried two days ago to end you, and the Triangle Authority believe you are a threat to everyone.”
I felt small. I was only an object that is used by higher authority to throw around. He said, “Don’t worry. I will not take you to the Triangle compound or Intelligence. You have to trust me where I take you. They will be here soon to take you, but …” I interrupted him and said, “Where will you take me? Why do they want me? I don’t understand. What did I do?” Boris hesitated for a few seconds and said, “I am only ordered to protect you.”
“I still don’t understand,” I said with a sharp tone of voice. Boris looked at me and said, “It’s not what you did. You were always a good and compliant little girl. It’s what’s in your mind is what they want. It seems you have failed to keep something a secret and wanted to end your services.”
I placed my hands on my knees and squeezed them really hard. Boris noticed my agitation and the panel on his wrist started flashing and beeping loudly. He said, “Come on. Let’s go.”
