I’m Dedicated To You

BRADLEY’S POV

“We are going to team up, “I say and I saw the look of shock on their faces because this must be the first time someone has the nerve to think of something like that.

“I know this must be your first time being kidnapped and the whole situation is kind of strange to you but don’t you think you are overestimating yourself that you can be able to escape from this place”, the tall girl with curly hair asked I suspected she is also my age or even maybe younger than me.

“If you don’t want to escape from here because you are having something romantic with the hungry-looking boy it’s fine you can stay out of it, “I say and I saw that what I say pissed her off, and when she is about to lose it and comes at me the tiny girl that begged me for food earlier held her back.

“Big sister doesn’t do anything bad you don’t want to get punished and I am very sure that big brother doesn’t also mean it like that, “the little girl says I looked at her before I rested my head the wall and try to think of the possible way out of here and who could also be so bold that kidnaps the grandson of the Hale group chairman.

HALE ANCESTRAL MANSION

The whole building is already in jeopardy because of the news of Bradley Hale that went missing and everyone is already running helter-skelter to look for the favorite grandson of the Hale group chairman.

“Why is everyone useless? Why is it so hard to look for a teenage boy?” old master Hale yelled at the top of his voice, earning him heartache when Will Hale saw this he quickly helped his father to a couch.

“Take it, easy father, I am very sure they will find him soon. Bradley probably got lost in the maze,” Will says, mentioning the maze that Hale has.

“Are you kidding me Bradley has already known his way around the maze before he was even 10 and you are telling me he might be lost in the maze?” he says, eyeing Will and he retracts his hand from his father because of the way his father looks at him.

“Father father”Emily Bradley’s mother called crying into the ancestral home living room.

“What is it, “old master Hale asked with a hopeful voice.

“The police don’t have any clue about his whereabouts yet, “Emily says crying and her husband pats her back telling her that everything will be okay even though he also looks like someone that also needs comfort words.

“What did you think it’s going to happen now dad my poor boy must be in a strange place with no absolute clue about it, “Emily says sobbing loudly and everyone in the room can’t help but look at her pitifully because they know what kind of pain she must be going through.

“Is there still no clue yet”grandma Hale enters the room with the help of Kate and Jayden and she looks like she has aged 20 years more overnight over the news of her grandson’s disappearance.

“Nothing yet mother,” Will says and Emily looks at him with hatred in her eyes and it looks like she is silently accusing him of the disappearance of her son.

“I think we should all stay calm and try to…”Kate was saying but she was interrupted by someone running into the living room.

“I think Bradley might have left us some clue, “Preston (the husband of the only daughter of chairman Hale) says panting from the run he just had everyone in the living room looking at him, some in excitement and eagerness and some in fear.

“What the clue is that,”Bradley’s father asked eagerly.

“This” Preston raised a wristwatch and everyone in the room recognized it because the old master Hale gave it to Bradley as his birthday gift among other gifts he received from his grandpa on his 16th birthday gift.

‘He dropped this along the road leading to Jam mountain. He must have dropped it hoping to give us clues about his whereabouts,” he says and Bradley’s father smiles at Preston picking up his phone and walking out of the room.

“You did a good job, Preston,” old master Hale says smiling at him Preston’s heart almost jumped out of his mouth because it’s such an honor to him to be acknowledged by the old master Hale.

“Call the Spiral team and tell them to look for my grandson, “the old master says and everyone in the room looks at him in awe because the old man only used the team when the group is facing an attack from the Mafia or external pressure but they don’t think he is going to use them to look for a missing child.

“Father, thank you so much, “Bradley’s father says and Bradley’s mother also thanked him.

“Make sure the information about Bradley went missing remains here. We don’t want our competitors using this chance to attack us, “old master Hale says and everyone nodded their heads.

“Hello, “old master Hale says into his phone “look for my grandson,” he says and someone in the living room’s heart skips a bit.

BRADLEY’S POV

The little girl that I didn’t know her name yet keeps blabbering about different things that I have no interest in saying it’s a way for me to survive here.

“You say you are going to help us escape from here right,” she asked again and when I wanted to shout at her for being loud my eyes met with her dark brown eyes that would melt your soul.

People have always complimented me for having beautiful eyes but I have never seen anyone whose eyes are as beautiful as this little girl’s eyes.

“Did your eyes resemble your mom or your dad?” I asked out of the blue the question that caught me off guard but I already asked anyway, so I am waiting for her answer.

“I don’t know if I resemble my mom or my dad because I have never seen them before,” she said with a pout and I looked at her in shock.

“So, you have never seen your parents before”I asked and she nodded her head.

“What’s your name, little girl,” I asked, changing the topic because I don’t want to make her sad.

“My name is….. what’s big brother’s name too I will tell you if you tell me yours,” she says and I looked at her surprised.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“My name is Bee,” I say using my name’s first letter because my grandfather always says I should never reveal my identity to a stranger if I don’t want to be in danger and right now I don’t know why this little girl also looks like a threat to me.

“My name is Gee,” She says smirkingly and I can’t help but get surprised at how a little girl could be so cunning.

“So, how do you get kidnapped?”I asked.

“We were kidnapped on the road, what about you,” she says with her little brain.

“I got kidnapped in my own house,” I say with a dangerous glint in my eyes.

“How can you get kidnapped in your own house,” the grown-up girl among them asked and I looked at her.

“Yes,” I answered.

“How could anyone get kidnapped in their own house,” the little girl with Bob’s hair asked and I looked at their naive faces.

“Exactly my point how could I get kidnapped in my own house except someone living in the house is involved, “I say with an amused smile who is bold enough to kidnap me on Grandpa’s birthday but the girls in front of me look at me with questioning eyes and I know even though they are curious they won’t understand what I am trying to say so it’s better not to get started with it.

“How did you intend to get us out of here, “the grown-up girl asked.

“Did you think I can be of help even though I just got here? “I asked her.

“Collins says you can help us since your background is not ordinary. You can help us but you have to give him updates about it so he can help you,” she says and the other girls looked at us pretending to understand us even when they didn’t.

“Why will I tell him my plans when he is also among them?”I say, already knowing who the girl is referring to.

“Collins is not like that he joined the gang because he was forced and he wants to leave with us that’s why he asked us to carry him along with her plan so, how did you think we can all escape,” she says looking at the unkempt children in the room and I can feel my blood boiled in anger because I was angry about the barbaric act.

“I will plan our escape plan because I know a little about this place structure but we will start planning tomorrow you have to tell the rest of the kids about it too, “I say with a commanding voice that you can’t refute but there is always someone that will still question you.

“Why are you going to start planning the escape platform tomorrow?” Gee asked and I facepalmed myself for attracting a talkative person to myself but I have to tell her anyway.

“Because before we escape from here I am sure my family will have found the clue that I left behind”…
