"How are you doing, baby?" Alexander entered Alice's room with a tray of porridge. He sat on the edge of the bed and placed the tray on the nightstand.
"Please let me go, Lex." exclaimed Alice in a barely audible voice.
Alexander ignored Alice's words. He picked up the porridge he was carrying and began to feed Alice.
"Come, eat it !! So you have the power to get out of here."
Alice looked at Alexander. He thought that the man was mocking him right now. Either way, he won't be able to escape from here. But there is no harm in trying it again.
"Open your mouth, Alice!! Or you'd rather I bribe you with my mouth, hm."
Alice clucked softly and opened her mouth as Alexander bribed her.
"SPend!! After this take the medicine. That way you'll recover quickly and...
Alexander approached and whispered in Alice's ear, "I wait for your heroic actions to escape from my palace."
Alice glanced sharply at Alexander who laughed mockingly at him. He clenched his hands tightly. If the condition is not weak, he will beat the man. Huh.. Now she regrets having gone on a hunger strike because it made her look miserable.
...****************...
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world. The biggest bar in town A. A young man does not seem to concentrate on work. He looked agitated and checked his phone many times. He was Samuel, Alice's best friend.
Since Alice's departure to Qatar five days ago, the girl has not given her any news at all. Even he couldn't reach her because Alice's number was off.
That's because Alice's phone was thrown away by Alexander. He didn't want anyone else to know that Alice was with him.
"The number you are going to is off or out of range"
"Kc.. Where are you, Alice? Why can't your number be called?" Samuel tried to contact Alice once more, but the girl's number was still off. Samuel was very worried because Alice had never been like this. Especially now that the girl is in a people's country.
"Damn!!! I should have gone. Maybe none of this will happen." Samuel regretted
"It seems I should catch up with him. Yeah, I'm gonna go find that bad boy. Just watch out if anything happens to her." Samuel went to the bar owner. He will ask permission for a few days leave on the grounds of wanting to return home to visit the tomb of his parents.
Permission he got. Now just look for money to buy tickets and living costs there later. He just happens to have savings. He also mortgaged his bike for an additional fee. He doesn't know how long he'll be there. So he should be prepared for more money.
After the money was collected, Samuel immediately booked a plane ticket. He also began to prepare. He can't delay it anymore. She was really worried that something might happen to Alice. Moreover, the girl had a lot of money betting results a week ago. He was afraid that the girl would become a victim of a robbery. And he could only hope if all that didn't happen.
"Wait for me, Alice. I'll catch up with you soon." muttered Samuel.
...****************...
She recalled that before leaving, Alice once said that she would look for an inn close to Al Bayt stadium to make it easier for her to witness the appearance of the Korean man Alice idolized.
For that, he would start his quest from there. And hopefully he gets a lead.
"We have arrived sir." exclaimed the driver.
Samuel looked out the car window. He seemed to be frowning because it was not the place he was looking for. "Sir, you're in the wrong place. I'm looking for lodging near the stadium. Not such a horrible place."
"Come down, if you still love your life."
Samuel fell silent. It seems like he is in danger at the moment. Damnit damnit!! in a hurry, he did not pay attention to the taxi he was riding.
"Let's get down!!" the taxi driver pointed a firearm at Samuel and, inevitably, he obeyed the taxi driver's orders.
Samuel went down and raised both hands. Suddenly a crowd of people came and examined him.
"A_what do you want exactly?" ask Samuel
But the man who examined her said nothing. He ransacked Samuel's bag like he was looking for something. Do they suspect he's a spy or what?
"Looks like he's not part of them" exclaimed the man who examined Samuel
"Then how? Are we just gonna let go of him? He's seen us." cried another man
"We kill it."
"Don't!! Let's take it to Sean. Let mister Sean decide."
Samuel watched them silently one by one. Honestly, he doesn't know what they're saying. But it seems they've caught people wrong. And he hopes, they let go.
But unfortunately he was wrong, both his hands were tied back. Even his head was covered with a cloth.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm not a bad guy. I just came and wanted to find my girlfriend. Please let me go!!" shouted Samuel
"Shut up!!! Or my bullet will go through your head." exclaimed the taxi driver. Only he knew what Samuel was saying. For that he is in charge of being a taxi driver to find prey.
"I beg you, sir. I want to find my girlfriend. He came to watch the opening of the world cup a few days ago. But until now, he couldn't be contacted. That's why I'm here, I want to find him."
"Do you think I care?" The man pushed Samuel into their other car and took him to where their boss was.
