Chapter 3 The Play Man.

''Who are you, young man, and why are you staying close to me?''I asked the man who was just by my close.

He wanted to talk.....

''Wait!. Why am I here in the hospital?. Where is my husband, David?''I asked him.

He smiled. He looked at me, and composed his face as if to be now serious with me or his mission.

I was skeptical about his presence. My consciousness began to return. I wanted to rise up from the bed I was lying on. But I felt sharp pains around my body. Especially in my head. Then, my strength was defeated. Leaving me with no other option but to relax confidently but hopeless and powerless in my mind.

''My name is Kelvin''I heard the young man next to me introducing.

But I kept quiet because at this stage, I recently remembered what David and Sarah did to me, and what could possibly make me want to be in the hospital.

''I saw you being thrown out in the middle of a big mansion around the city''He said.

I turned, looking at him. He was very serious when speaking. It wasn't a joke at all.

''I don't know what must have prompted David's security men to throw you out in such a manner. Damn! You were almost lifeless'' Kelvin informed.

But I kept on looking at him. He observed the way I stared at him. So, he stopped talking.

''What!'' I reacted.

''You mean I was almost lifeless, and thrown out of the mansion by his security men?''I asked.

But he kept quiet, still looking at me. I knew what he could possibly be reading in his mind. That I could be a terrible person, or possibly, a criminal. His mood changed. He was suspicious.

''Do you know David?. Who are you to him?. Or I guess you are one of his accomplices?''I asked him multiple questions.

''Well....'' He was about to say something, when the doctor came in. He then kept silent.

''Hello Mr. Kelvin''The doctor hailed him.

''Hi doc..''He replied.

The doctor's Face and eyes jammed with mine. She held my head, and tapped it.

''I would be discharging your girlfriend right now''The doctor informed him.

I was shocked. I squeezed my face. When did I become someone's girlfriend?. Someone that I didn't even know. Is this a joke or a game being played on me, or what?''I wondered, in my mind. My inner thoughts could reflect the sudden change of looks and mood on my face.

''She would be fine. But meanwhile, I would be prescribing some few drugs for her to be taken, in order to calm every tension in her body''The doctor said. She started counting some drugs, and kept them in a small pack. She handed them over to Kelvin, who immediately dipped his hand in his trouser pocket, and brought out some huge amount of money. He just handed them over to the doctor without saying any further words. We left.

Now out of the hospital, Kelvin helped me, by lending me his shoulder to lean on, while walking. I was really feeling huge pains in my body. I guess the weight at which I was hit with an object on my head was very fatal and terrible. Few minutes later, we arrived close to a big flashy jeep.

We stopped. He rolled his eyes at me. I noticed this, but pretended as if I didn't observe.

''Where are we heading to right now?''I asked him.

''But wait a minute!. Why was the doctor referring to me as your girlfriend?. Are you sure you are not mistaken for something or another person?''I asked him.

He smiled.

''You asked so many questions at a time. Which one did you want me to reply to you, now?. But meanwhile, I don't want you to keep tormenting me with several questions which might look so irrelevant to me''Kelvin said.

''What!''I was shocked. I was also tense.

''I don't have the right to ask you where we are heading to?''I asked.

''So, if I may ask, where did you want to go now?. Tell me''He asked me.

He was serious. I stirred at him. I also looked up to the dark sky. It was a heavy night, and almost 2:00am.

I was down, after realizing that David, my husband , didn't want to see me around him. Truly, I don't know where to go.

I tried looking at him, so I could inform him officially about the fate that has befallen me. But before I could talk, he lifted me up, and took me into the passenger's side of his jeep. I was surprised. But at this point, I didn't dare to doubt him again. I don't know where we were heading to, but I knew he was taking me somewhere, and I knew that I would be very safe there.

He kicked his car, and started driving. Silence was observed throughout our journey. I looked into the inside of his jeep. I realized that it was built with bullet proof facilities in it. It looked like an official car, one meant for someone of high prospects.

I then looked at the young man driving me once again. He didn't look like one who is wealthy. Like, he didn't in any way look like the person who would be owning a bulletproof jeep. Even his dressing was too casual for my liking. Also, he was very young. So, he definitely looks like one who is probably serving a high master, anyway.

''Excuse me Kelvin. Can I ask you a question?''I called him.

He frowned. I saw his mood through the car's mirror.

''Alright. Proceed. But be snappy with your questions''He responded to me.

''Emm'.. Where are we heading to?''I asked him.

''Is that all?. Or did you have other questions to add to it?''He asked me, while still driving.

''No, I don't. That's all for now''I replied.

He was silent. But soon, he spoke.

''I am taking you to the police station. You are a criminal''He informed me.

My mind immediately collapsed in fear and defeat.
