The Case On Valentine's Day. Part 10.
Mai's pov
"Arg! That insensitive, big headed, tea loving jerk! He can be such a pain in the ass!" I already looked outside the window for a sign and didn't see anything out there. And there's nothing on the table to read. Whoever my kidnapper is he's very thorough. I'm going to have a hard time getting out of this mess. When I hear the man coming towards the room I'm in, I text Naru back again.
"Don't call me an idiot, you jerk! He's coming back, I've got to go. Oh, before I forget, there is no sign or newspaper." I hit send and put my cell phone away. When he opens the door carrying a small bag, I look at him, confused. He glares at me.
"I may be a criminal, but even I know you need to eat something. After all you're still growing. So here is a burger and fries. Give me a few minutes and I will get you some tea. And relax, will you? I'm not going to poison you."
He turns around and walks out the door. I stares at his back in complete shock. Why is he being so nice all of a sudden? I shake my head in puzzlement. I wish I could understand why people could be nice one minute and be nasty the next. Maybe I should consider taking a college course in human behavior. The man who has kept me here for the last three hours comes back into the room frowning, and I start to panic. Something told me that the frown on his face is not a good thing. I swallow the bit of hamburger that was still in my mouth before speaking.
"Is there something wrong?" I question, hoping he can't hear the slight fear in my voice. He looks at me.
"I just saw two police officers outside... You wouldn't know anything about that, now would you?" He asks me. I quickly shake my head. He turns around and walks out the door once more. Hope begins to blossom inside of me. Maybe if I could get there attention the police can help me get out of this mess. I stand up from the chair, determined to look out the window hoping to find the two police officers that were patrolling the area.
An hour goes by and there is still no sign of the officers. I begin to lose hope. I slump back into the chair.
"What do I do now?" I question myself before pulling out my cell phone and to text Naru.
"Naru, the man who is keeping me here said he saw two police officers scouting the area." I put my cell phone back into my jacket and continue to look out the window. When I feel a vibration coming from my phone, I take it out and read the message.
"How long ago was this?" Naru asks.
"About five minutes ago."
"You idiot. Why didn't you text me sooner? I swear when this is over, I'm going to have Lin train you to defend yourself." Naru responses back.
