Chapter 8 Hospital

"no he isn't, where is the surveillance camera ?" He asked while walking to the showroom

Few minutes later Malik arrived home "what do you mean he was kidnapped!" He snapped at the guards

"we are sorry boss, but we did not see him go. over the fence" the guards replied shakily, they really did not see this one coming

"move out with the rest we have no time to waste!" How will the little boy be taken from his own residence? He wouldn't accept that, Nema was so worried so he had to calm her down

"we will get him back home okay" he said while hugging her but did not wait for her reply and left, 8 cards left the mansion immediately

(In the car)

"We were able to trace the taxi through the traffic cameras " Malik says to Justin

"they really think I am so weak don't they?" He was really angry this time, first his wife and now his son

"we will find him don't worry"

"we better do if not I'll burn down this whole city" he replied with burning rage.

They arrived at the sea port and saw the taxi but no body was in it "scatter round and search" he barked at the guards

Malik picked his phone and made a call while Justin and another guard went to search the car thoroughly

"a lot of ships left the port this afternoon Justin they might have transported him through one" Malik said feeling angry

"get me the surveillance video of the port" Justin ordered one of the guards

"what do they want?" Justin was boiling in rage already, before the guard came back they heard little noise coming from the parked taxi

"open the boot" Malik ordered another guard

When the boot was opened they saw the little boy inside tied like a sac of potatoes

"Ikiris!" Justin ran over and untied him, he was in the verge of losing it thankfully he son was alive, the little boy did not say a word and kept on staring at him, Justin carried him up and saw some bruises on his body

"Malik let's take him to the hospital" he said while heading back to the car

Malik found it strange that kidnappers left Ikiris in the car, what was the need of taking him when they would still leave him in the car? He did not give it much thought again when Justin hurried him to the car and they left to the hospital.

At this same moment another boy of the same age was dropped on the bed inside a sailing yacht, the boy was still unconscious and just laid on the bed motionless.

(In The Hospital)

"How is he Doctor" Justin asked perplexed

"Does he speak before?" The Doctor asked

"Of Course He Does, He Isn't Much Of A Talker but he Drops his words once in a while when needed" Justin answered although he did not understand why the Doctor kept asking him unreasonable questions

"He would have to Stay in the hospital a couple of days then, his bruises are not deep but we would have to still keep an eye to observe his behaviour" the Doctor stated, he noticed the Boy did not say anything or make any noise while the Nurses were treating his injuries but just frowned sometimes

"Anything you say then Doctor" hearing Justin's reply the Doctor bowed a little then left the hospital room

Malik Had Just Finished His Phone Call With His Wife Making Him Wonder When His Wife Became So Emotional And Worrywart, He Really Wasn't Doing A Good Job Protecting Her He Should Try Better, His Wife Is Supposed To Smile And Laugh Only Not Cry And Worry All The Time, He Really Worried That This Might Take An Ill Effect On Her., He Returned Back To The Vip Room Which Had Ikiris In It

"What Did The Doctor Say" He Questioned Justin, The Man Really Needed A Break, This Time It Was His Fault, He Couldn't Believe Ikiris Would Be Taken Like That From His Territory 'He Had Really Become Soft' He Thought

"The Doctor Requests That We Leave Him In The Hospital For Further Observations But His Body Is Fine Just Bruises" Justin Replied Flatly

"That's Good Then" Malik Answered Back "I Think They'll Prefer Being Back Home" Malik Responds

"I'll Take My Leave Now, So Take Care, I'll Send Help From The Mansion So He Can Eat When He Wakes Up" Malik Looks At The Sleeping Boy While Talking, He Hopes This Wouldn't Traumatise The Little Boy.

(In The Yatch)

When Ikiris Woke Up He Found The Room He Was In Very Strange, His Head Hurt A Lot Too

"What Happened To Me, Where Am I" He Asked Himself Aloud The Last Thing He Remembered Was Stopping A Taxi And The Next Thing..*He Widened His Eyes When He Remembered What Might Have Happened*

"Was I Kidnapped?" He Shouted Then Looked Around Shockingly "What's Wrong, Where Is The Mansion?, This Isn't My Room, Why Am I Moving Or Is It The Floor That Is Moving" He Kept Talking To Him Self In A Confused State

He Got Down From The Bed And Rushed To The Door, Surprisingly It Was Open So He Went Out

With His Eye Almost Bulging From Its Sockets "How Can I Be In Sea, Why Would They Bring Me To The Sea?' While He Was Speculating A Woman Walked In From Behind

"I See You Are Awake Young Master Gowa" She Says as she Dips A Bow

'Why Would She Bow To Me If Was Kidnapped' He Thought To Himself Finding The Whole Scenario Strange

The Woman Saw He Did Not Respond And Continued Anyway "Your Lunch Is Ready Young Master Please Follow Me She Said And Led The Way

Ikiris Decided To Follow Her Anyway But Later Asked On The Way "Where Am I?"

"Well, Young Master We Are In A Yacht" The Woman Replied With A Mocking Smile, She Felt The Question Was Really Funny But Then Again He Is Just 5

"I Know What This Is" Ikiris Stated With Irritation, He Wasn't A Dummy

"Why Am i Here?"

"Please Young Master, It Will Be Better If I Leave That Question For Someone Else To Answer, My Work Was Just To Call You For Lunch" She States And Continues Walking.

When They Arrived At The Table Ikiris Refused To Eat, He Was Hungry Though But He Cannot Just Eat Anything Given To Him, He Is Sure He Was Kidnapped But Why Were They Being So Respectful To Him? They Behaved Like They Were His Workers And This Was His Yacht, The Behaviour Was Really Too Strange

"Young Master Gowa Please Eat, Your Questions Please Will Be Answered Later" The Same Woman That Led Him To The Dining Said.

His Stomach Grumbled And With This He Started Eating 'What Is The Worse That Could Happen? If They Wanted To Kill Me They Would Have Done It Already' He Thought While Eating, The Dishes Really Tasted Great

The Yacht Came To A Stop Minutes After He Finished Eating, He Was Greeted With The View Of An Island

"What The Hell" He Voiced Out Loudly

Back In The Hospital

"ikiris Are You Awake?" Justin Saw The Little Boy's Eyelids Flinch And He Asked, The Boy Sat Up Slowly With The Support Of Justin

"Can You Hear Me?" He Asked Again And The Boy Just Nodded, Justin Pressed The Button Beside The Bed And The Doctor Came In Few Minutes Later

"Hello ikiris Can You See Me Very Clearly?"

The Doctor Asked The Little Boy Who Just Nods A Yes "Tell Me Your Name Then" The Doctor Says Again But The Little Boy Just Kept Gazing At Him

"ikiris Can't You Talk Anymore?" Justin Was A Little Agitated

"Be Patient With Him Master Gowa" The Doctor Says Then Looks Back At The Boy "Do You Remember What Happened Or Better Still Do You Remember The Face Next To You?" The Doctor Asked Again And The Boy Shaked His Head Indicating A No, Justin Who Saw This Was

More Worried

"What Do You Mean Ikiris, I Am Your Father" He Doesn't Know What Happened To His Son Again, Its Just Been A Few Weeks Since They last saw but that Would Not Make Him Forget his Father.

"Let's see in my office Master Gowa" the doctor says and walks out of the room

"I'll be back okay "Justin tells the boy and walks out then addresses the 3 guards at the door "no one is allowed to go in or out of this place, be on high alert, if my son is taken from right under your noses I'll make you regret your carelessness" his voice was very stern this time.

In the doctor's office

"What the hell happened to my son doctor, did you not say earlier that the injuries he sustained were minor?"

"The injuries on his body were indeed minor but those were just physical injuries" the doctor explained

"how do you mean?'' Justin asked

"he was kidnapped and you found him tied in the boot is that correct?"

"Yes" Justin replied and the doctor continued his observations
