Against all odds Let the game begin
Rita’s storyI was getting tired by the day. The lack of food and water was beginning acute and my strength was slowly leaving me. Even breathing was hard. Sarah no longer blindfolded me but I was still tied to my hands and feet. I couldn’t feel them anymore. I wish this ordeal would end. I wonder what Miron has to do in all this. What is this crazy woman making him doing? If I could just tell him not to listen to her; she was going to kill me anyway.- Good morning sunshine!- You have no right calling me this way you sick!- Oh, is this how are you going to treat me? I have a question and I demand an answer if you wish this to be over quickly.I was looking at her in disbelief and wondering what in the world was going on in that sick mind of hers? - I will take your silence as a yes. Now, you better tell me, what is the place where you have never been but you want to go with all your heart?- What makes you think I will tell you the answ
Against all odds Cruel reality
Rita’s storyAll this waiting became harder and harder. Two days without water only this tiny loaf of bread was too much to bear for me. I really don’t know what Sarah has in mind. I just hope she would change her mind and quickly. I am not sure how much I can resist without water. And then the door opened. Sarah and the two beasts popped in. I wonder if it is for another beating.- Oh, darling, you don’t look so good. Are you feeling ok?I averted my eyes in another direction. I was scared of those two. Another fist in my empty stomach and probably I won’t get up until tomorrow, whatever day it is tomorrow. - What do you want?- Well actually to tell you that your Miron almost passed his first assignment. That means that if he gives me the right answer to one more question you will receive water. Surprised?- What happened if he fails to answer correctly?- You don’t want to find that right about now, darling. Let’s just hope Miron is sma
Against all odds Back in the game
Miron’s storySaturday morning, at 9 o’clock; the second message came to my phone. This time I was alone. My hands were shaking trying to open it; another challenge that I have to pass so my Rita will not get hurt. „ You will be punished for cold-hearted, go back where it all started!”Where it all started? And why shall I be punished? Anyway, I have to think, not too much though because I happen to know the exact place where this story started. I needed only my keys and off I was. Winter has passed and now mornings were nor so chilly. In twenty minutes I arrived at the scene where it all began, the site of Rita and Pamela’s accident. Memories were so vivid in my head. How I was driving home after a long night, how Peter called me and how I had to hang up on him when I saw the railing smashed. I had my heart in my throat praying that nobody would be in the car. My expectations were ruined when a young woman struggling between life and death caught into that car. If she hadn’t been w
Against all odds Was it too late?
Rita’s storyAt this point, I lost track of time. I don’t know if it’s day or if it is night. The days follow one another so is my life. Maybe Miron will never find me or maybe he just forgot about me. Sarah keeps telling me that he is playing some kind of game. She comes once in a while, asking me a few questions about me, and when she returns in two or three days with another set of questions. She says it is part of the game and because Miron is playing it I get to have water and food. That means Miron is not giving up on me. I guess these two days have passed because Sarah is back again.- Morning honey!So it is the morning. At least that I know. As I didn’t answer anything she continued.- It was not the time for my visit, but I just came to see you. You see, I grew found on you.Maybe the days haven’t yet passed. She came early this time. I can’t say I missed her. - So you don’t want to talk to me. Suit yourself. I must tell you that Miron is making a
Against all odds Revelations
Rita’s story Everything around me was spinning and the blow directly to my stomach made me sick. That was the second time these people mistreated me. I didn’t think those blows could be so painful. I crouched to the ground falling from the chair I was no longer tied up. Only my hands and my legs were. Sarah and the three gorillas were surrounding me like they were of a trophy or something. I also knew that Miron heard my whining but I could not help it. It hurt too much. I wanted to spare him the worries but I kind of saw Sarah putting the phone in my direction so he could hear me better. That means woman. - Does it hurt you, dear Rita?I tried to look up to that ugly face of her but I felt my head as heavy as a stone. - Ok, no need to stand up.- You did it on purpose…- So what if I did? I wanted just to spice up a little bit the game. It was becoming so boring. By now Miron must have gone insane. Shall we call him? Or shall we let him boil in
Against all odds False truths
Myron’s storyI have waited all day to receive a callback and nothing. I was imagining all sorts of things and my mind could not cope anymore with this uncertainty. It was already too much even for me. There were three weeks now since Rita is being held and I have to respond to all sorts of questions and riddles but there is no sign that Sarah will release her soon. Eventually, Peter found me a tracker device from one of his hacker friends. Sometimes I don’t even want to think about where he has those friends. I will not even ask. - Let me see it, please!It was kind of big; Peter arranged it on the table. Many buttons that maybe only he knows how to handle. - Do you happen to know how to use this?- Actually I do. My friend taught me some basics so it should be fine. Al you have to do is when Sarah calls, press this tiny button and keep her talking for up to thirty seconds. In this way, we shall find her location in approximately one minute.- T

Miron’s storyI am aware I left Peter speechless but this was a thing I had to do a long time ago. Maybe now we could be further with all this investigation. I am no cop, so to be honest, I don’t know how these things work, but a friend of mine might be able to help.I’ve been known Jack for a long time now but not ever hav

Miron’s storyAs much as I repeated that name my mind refused to believe she could be capable of such a thing. But I come around and ask myself, why not? She stood under my roof for so many ears, ate with me at the same table, even giving me advice, and now?
