Chapter 40: Chapter 40

SIMOUNE

I woke up because my face hurt so much, I saw blood on the floor from my nose and lips. I turned to look at Trisha and I saw that she was weak because we had not been able to eat or drink water for almost 24 hours.

"Do you think we can get out of here?" I asked Trisha

"Of course, I know they will find you. Lucy and Bruce will find you" Trisha said

"I hope they find us because I feel like I'm going to run out of blood because until now the blood is still dripping from my nose" I said to Trisha

"Me too, my throat is so dry it seems like I can't take it anymore" Trisha said

"We can get out of here! Don't lose hope! Okay?" I said to Trisha trying to cheer her up

"Okay, I hoping that someone will find us" Trisha said

"Is the tie on your wrist too tight?" I asked her

"Yes too much, it's like my skin is stuck to the rope, is it the same in you?" Trish asked

"It's the same, I want to escape from here, I'm really weak" I said

"But how? The ropes on our feet and wrists are so tight, how can we escape from here?" Trish asked

"I do not know also" I said

Trisha and I were both crying, because we were panicking. It's very dark here, but I feel like Mila and her father aren't here because it's so quiet around here. I'm already dizzy from hunger and thirst so my head will hurt even more because I've cried

I don't want to die here, I want to live! I want to be with Lucy and Bruce. I still want to hug Nanny Lily. I still want to see Mommy and of course, I also want daddy and I to forgive each other.

I cried because I felt it was the end of my life. I really hope Lucy and Bruce are looking for me because they are my only hope, because for sure daddy is busy with his work. I tried to untie the rope on my wrist but it was too tight and there was also a tie on my back. I also tried to stand up, but because I didn't have the strength, I just fell down.

"Don't push yourself Simoune, it will only make your body more tired. Let's wait for someone to come here and help us" Trisha said

"What if no one helps us?!?" I yelled at her

"There is and I feel it! You just have to believe!" Trisha said

What if no one helps us? Are we going to die here? What if they can't track us!? My head hurts even more when I think about what happened.

NARRATOR

It's been 24 hours since Simoune disappeared, but they still haven't been found. Trisha and Simoune's bodies are tired because they haven't had food and even water for 24 hours.

Simoune thought no one was looking for her, she thought his father was busy at work, but what she didn't know was that her father and friend were looking for her. Simoune and Trisha are losing hope because in addition to being weak, they are running out of blood because blood drips from their nose and lips endlessly.

Trisha and Simoune's body is tired because it has no nutrients while Mila and her father are in the other room. Simoune thought Mila wasn't there, what she didn't know was that she was on the other side and ate their ordered food from the restaurant

Vince is still in a wheelchair and is still bathing in his own blood, because he is tied up he can't do anything but watch the father of Mila and Mila eat, while Bruce is already outside the location but he doesn't know if Simoune is here or not because the house they went to seems to be abandoned

What Bruce does not know is that Simoune is in the underground, because the underground where Simoune is, is made of cement and noise proof, he cannot hear them.

Can they meet? Can he find Simoune even though she is underground?

BRUCE

When the police arrived, we panicked and got into the car while uncle was talking to the police, when they finished talking, uncle got in and started driving

I can't be restless because I want to see Simoune. I could also see you in uncle's eyes, who was very eager to see his daughter, so we hurried to the place that Fidel had given us.

When we got to the place given, I noticed that this house was very old and looked abandoned maybe no one lives here because it is so ugly, there is no paint and the roofs have holes

"Are they really sure of the address given?" Lucy asked

"We do not know" I directly said to her

"Looks like there's no one here, OMGGGG!" Nanny Lily said

"Lucy, stay with Nanny Lily here, only uncle and I will go inside. It's dangerous, you stay here. Okay?" I sait to Lucy

"Alright, we'll wait for you" Lucy said

I approached them, uncle, but they seem to be having second thoughts about going inside

"Uncle, can't we let them in yet!?" I asked

"Bruce calm down, we can't rush because we will be the ones who will perish" uncle said

Lucy immediately got out of the car and came to me

"Bruce, listen to uncle, calm down! We will see Simoune! Don't worry" Lucy said trying to calm me down

Lucy hugged me to calm me down, then she went back to the car and accompanied Nanny Lily. I'm nervous about what will happen, what I'll see, and how Simoune is doing.

When the police back ups arrived, we immediately entered it but the surprising thing was that it was empty

"Is the address given correct? Nor is there a car outside this house?" I said

"Just trust Bruce!" uncle said

We searched the house quietly. We went to the kitchen, living room and even to the 2nd floor but we found no trace of Simoune. I scraped out the cabinets and they were so old they had spider webs on them.

When I was digging I went to a room and when I opened the cabinet I saw Simoune's phone. I know it's from her because we still have a picture with Lucy in her phone case. I was relieved that she was here because her phone was here

I immediately went to my uncle and showed him the phone

"Uncle, Simoune is here because her phone is here" I said

Uncle and I both smiled with joy and nervousness. We knew we were in the right place, but we still hadn't seen Simoune. I went back to the room and went around it again, looking at everything around me

I think Simoune is just here. because I feel it, I opened cabinets and even looked under the bed and when I got to the side of the cabinet, I saw a door. I immediately approached uncle and pointed to the door

I don't know but I am crying because now I will see Simoune. The police entered there slowly and when we got down we saw two rooms and it looks like this room is made noise proof because I see it. The police signaled which room to go first, but since there were many of them, they decided to open two at the same time.

After opening the first room we saw Vince covered in blood while sitting in a wheelchair with Mila and Mila’s father and they still ate while Vince was about to run out of blood, we also saw the men with them on the side so they were also taken and arrested

We went to the second room and I saw Simoune and Trisha whose faces were swollen and pale. WTFFFF! What did they do to Simoune!?

I immediately approached Simoune and hugged her

"Simoune!! Don't worry we are here" I whisper to her

"You arrived…." Simone said

Simoune immediately fell asleep on my shoulder so I carried Simoune. Trisha was also picked up and then we left the house

Lucy and Nanny Lily appeared with us

"OMG!! Simoune looks so bad, what did they do to her!?" Nanny Lily said

"Simouneeeee! you're so pale!" Lucy said

"Talk to her later because Simoune looks very tired" I said

I put Simoune in the car and we left. I drove because uncle went to the police station. Nanny Lily was offering Simoune in the back and Lucy was in the front seat

"Is Trisha also there?" Lucy asked

"Yes, and they are all the same pale and swollen faces, too much blood was seen on the floor where they were sitting" I said

"What did they do to Simoune!?" Lucy said

"I don't know yet, but what I'm sure of now is that Mila's father and Mila will be in jail" I said

"How about Vince? Where is he?" Lucy asked

"He is there too, didn't you see it? They tied him to a wheelchair while they ate, Vince will run out of blood. Then all of their kidnappers were also caught, they'll all rot in jail" I said

"Vince was beaten!? It's terrible! I'm angry with Vince but I don't expect Mila to be able to do that to him" Lucy said

"I think Mila is not the one who did it but Mila's father. I know that Mila's father is very angry with Vince because of what Vince did" I said

"He deserves to be beaten too, so let him" Lucy said

"He really deserves it! Because of his attitude. I feel sorry for Simoune!!" I said

When we got to the hospital, I picked up Simoune and brought her inside, we also saw Trisha also with the police and guiding her to the hospital

We were taken care of immediately and while we were waiting for Doc, I couldn't get out of my mind what happened to her. Simoune and Trisha were already inside and we were outside because we weren't allowed inside yet

"OMG!! What happened to Simoune was terrible" Nanny Lily said

"She will also be able to recover Nanny Lily and I will make sure that Mila will be imprisoned for what they did" I said

"They deserve to go to jail!!" Lucy said

Doc immediately came out and said that

"Good day, is Miss Simoune’s your sister?" Doc asked me

"Friend Doc, his father is still at the police station, doc" I said

"Owww, is that so, what Miss Simoune got is a hemorrhage, it's loss of blood, as well as facial swelling, severe wrist injury and dehydration. Miss Trisha got the same thing, do you know her?" Docter asked

"Yes, we are classmates" I said

"Doesn't she have a guardian I can talk to?" Doctor asked

"Nothing doc" I said

"Is that all right, I'm leaving" doctor said

"Doc, when can Simoune be discharged?" I asked

"Tomorrow it's okay, we'll just prescribe some for her facial swelling to make it go down easier" doc said

"Is that so, doc, thank you" I said

The doctor left and then we went inside

"Simoune's face was severely swollen" Lucy said

"That's why! That's why what Vince achieved is just something for him" I said

"I saw him being brought by the police earlier, how is that?" Lucy said

"There must have been a lack of blood, and you should definitely let it go! Our focus now is on Simoune, she needs to wake up so we can talk to her and find out what happened to her" I said

"I hope she wakes up later, she's been gone for almost 24 hrs, almost a day without food, and water, and then she's been hurt!? I really hope the father of Mila and Mila rot in jail!!" Lucy said

"I'm telling you that those two will go to jail" I said

It's a shame because Vince won't go to jail because he was also beaten. It would be nice to lock him up so he can't do more because I know he will repeat his stupidity to others

I hope Simoune wakes up because we've been looking for her for almost 24 hours and I hope she wakes up so she can eat too. I told you that Vince is not for you, right Simoune?

Why can't I be enough for you? can't I just do it? Let's just be together, Simoune?

Why are you still looking for someone else? I'm already here!!

I hope you see my value Simoune as I see your value to me and I hope you chose me so that now you are not hurt and feel sorry for the trouble that Mila and Vince have and to you Vince, I hope Simoune never sees you again because you only caused her pain
