"Clear" he said and sprawled on the bed.

"What?" I asked turning to Dimitri. "Is your friend drank or something?" I asked looking at the friend.

He turned to me and smiled still sprawled on the bed. "Dimitri will explain, let me sleep." he gave me a half smile. "I'm Ivan by the way" with that he put his head on the pillow and closed his eyes.

I turned to Dimitri again "Hey Comrade" I gave him a weak smile and lowered my eyes. I couldn't stand looking at him cause I knew what was there. He stepped closer and I braced myself for a slap or for him to yell at me but he did nothing. He cupped my face and made me look at him. There was no hate there as I was expecting but something that I couldn't read. I didn't had the time to think what that was cause he showed me. He kissed me. At first I was too startled to respond but then lust and instinct took over. I kissed him with such passion that we fell back on the bed.

"Dude" Ivan tried punching Dimitri but all he managed was to move him a little. I smiled and pushed Dimitri off me.

"How did you found me?" I asked him knowing we couldn't do much more than talk with Ivan there. It was Dimitri's time to lower his eyes. Had he seen me before? Did he knew about me all this time and just played along?

"You are Rosemarie Mazur right?" Ivan mumbled turning his head to me. The shock was evident enough in my face for him to get his answer.

"Baba" I whispered.

"You are the daughter of Ibrahim and Janine Mazur, you turned 22 today-ermm yesterday and you were abducted at 17 outside the Neon Club, Montana." Ivan continued and I felt my eyes watering.

"Ivan stop" Dimitri said and took me in his arms. "Are you alright?" he asked me and I nodded not being able to talk just yet.

"Is my Baba still looking" I asked after what it seemed to me hours. Dimitri turned to Ivan and then back at me.

"The investigation was to be stopped a year after you disappeared. They wanted to close the case but I kept it going." Dimitri said. I nodded but inside I was dead. My Baba gave up on me. He who taught me to be strong had given up on me.

"Hey" Ivan said patting my back "they might still be looking, many parents keep searching for their lost children way after the cases are closed." I smiled at the thought of my parents searching for me.

"Rose it's ok" Dimitri said "you're ok" I gave him a sad nod and smiled bitterly.

"So you found me" I said. "Now what?" I asked hearing the bitter in my voice.

"Well" Ivan started "you weren't our goal really" he said. I turned to him feeling tiers running down my eyes.

"What do you mean?" I asked and when I saw I wasn't going to get an answer I turned to Dimitri. "Well?"

"We've been following your boss" he explained. "Nathaniel Bolgen is charged for much more than human trafficking. We've been searching for him over a decade." he continued. "That's how I found you. They searched for him as I was searching for you and we saw the connection never really knowing if it was you" I nodded.

"It's ok" I said. "You found him. Now what? Do I get to see him suffer?" I asked raising my brows.

"We can't.."

"What Dimitri?" I asked glaring at him. "He is the one who made me who I am today. He saw me suffer every fucking day and I don't get to have a tiny revenge? Hell no!" I stood and pointed to the door. "He will pay. I will make him pay. Got it?" Dimitri nodded and Ivan shook his head.

"Shit!" he cursed and stood up. I turned to the way he looked at and saw the clock. The hour we had was almost over.

"I've got this!" I told him trying to calm him down. I unbuttoned his shirt and tussled his hair to make them look messy. I went to Dimitri, untied his hair and ran my fingers through them. When I finished I tip toed and kissed him. His arms were around me in seconds and he grabbed my nape bringing me closer.

"I'll get you out of here" he whispered to my lips. I took a step back and looked into his eyes. I remembered how Texas always swore he would take me with him next time and my heart ached.

"Will you?" I asked feeling small.

"Yes" he said "I swear I'm coming to get you out." I smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you" I said and then turned to Ivan who was trying to fix his hair. I hugged him too and then tussled his hair again. "Thank you too" I said kissing his cheek. He smiled and went to the door. "How long?" I asked before they open it.

"The day after tomorrow" Dimitri said. I smiled and he brushed my cheek. "I swear" he pecked my forehead and they were gone. Two days...I hope I'm still alive till then.
