Chapter Five

Tony

I woke up to white. I went to sit up but my head felt all groggy and I fell back down, opening my eyes to be hit with flashes of white. I lifted a hand up to hide from the glare and tried to rack my mind to remember what happened to me.

The last thing I remembered was having a normal day that any boy and his father would have until something…something happened…and now I'm here.

What is here? Smells like lemon citrus and coloured in white. Hospital?

I had visited the hospital four times; once where I fell off the counter and broke my arm when I was four, once where I accidentally drank bleach when I was five, once where I put my hand in the fireplace when I was six and then the time when I was seven and had to have my appendix took out.

I remembered the last time I went vividly, I had started screaming in the middle of the night from unbearable pain, I had passed out on the way to the hospital and was treated on the second I got to the hospital. I had to stay for four days after the operation on strong painkillers and my dad hadn't left my side the entire stay.

My dad was always clingy; the only time he ever left me alone in the house was when he went to the pub only because it was the one place he couldn't take me. He worked from home, had tutors come in to teach me. Sometimes I liked his clinginess what kid doesn't want to spend the whole day with his father?

But then when he hurt me I wanted to be as far away from him as possible and I couldn't.

I squinted trying to see where I was but the white was blinding. I ran my hand over what I was laying on, a thick mattress on metal boards; well at least I was comfortable. I was wearing clothes, that was good.

I tried to get off the bed again but I felt too weak too. I felt along my body and came across the handcuff's; I brought my leg back feeling the cuffs on my ankles too tying me down to the bed. Even if I wasn't too tired to move I couldn't. Shit. I lay down taking deep breaths; I knew I wasn't at home but I couldn't remember what had happened.

The room had air conditioning or so it felt, there was no breeze or smell of the outside so I was guessing the room had no windows. It was rather airy and easy to breathe in.

I ran my tongue across the inside of my mouth feeling no gag there thankfully.

The door jarred open, bright yellow light illuming the white room. I used it to take a look at the room seeing that it was empty save for the bed.

I turned my attention back to the open door seeing two people in white coats come through. More white really? I groaned.

"Have you calmed down now?" One of them asked.

I didn't say nothing just studied them. The one was a woman with long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, she had milky white skin and long eye lashes, she was rather pretty and the white coat suited her. The one that spoke was a man who had good looks too, he had dark hair that suited his dark features. They were both young and physically fit.

"What do you want with me?" I asked them.

"Answer the question" The man snapped, holding up a key in his hands. "If you've calmed down I'll take the cuffs off you. You're be locked up in the room anyway, the cuffs were only there for safety measures"

"Please" I lifted my arms.

The man came over and undid all the locks; I wriggled my feet and wrists just because I now could. I still felt too weak to move. "What did you do to me?"

"Drugged, it will wear off in a few hours" The woman pitched in, her voice as hot as her looks.

I didn't get to meet many women. The only ones I did were when I was out with my daddy, the only conversation I had with women were never the attractive ones. And here was one attractive woman but wrong time and wrong place.

"Hungry?" The man asked me.

I shook my head. "Can't you do something about the lighting in this room?"

"Sorry kid" The woman laughed waiting for the man to walk out before closing the door on me. I reached out behind me feeling for the wall and shuffled backwards till I was leaning against it; I brought my knees up and rested my head on them.

Despite obviously being kidnapped I felt surprisingly calm.

The drugs eventually wore off; I walked around the room until I grew tired of that, sat down and did everything possible to stop myself from being bored out of my skull and then fell asleep.

I had no idea what they wanted with me, they had come in to wake me up and give me breakfast then left again. They were the same couple that had come in the day before but despite all the questions I threw at them they wouldn't answer me. Then some hours later the woman is back with a clipboard. "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Only if I get a few back"

She sat down on edge of the bed and clicks the pen against the clipboard gesturing for me to sit down too. I sit on the opposite end to her in my usual place against the wall. "Answer mine and I just might" She winks at me.

"Name?"

"Anthony DiNozzo Junior"

"Age?"

"Nine"

"Birthdate?"

"October the 14th, 1972"

"Address?"

"I don't know"

She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Dad doesn't let me go out alone so I never really needed to know it"

She nodded and continued on with the questions. "School?"

"I don't go. Do you know anything about me or am I just a random person you just picked up?" I sighed.

"You should remember how you got here by now. The drugs have worn off correct? So if you still have no idea and the last thing you remember is a good memory then you're blocking"

"Why wouldn't I not want to remember?"

"Why would you? Look okay I have to ask you these questions but you're not any random people, we know you"

"Why do you have to ask me?"

"I don't know" She chuckles.

"How can you not? You're here right, how can you not know what you're doing?"

"I'm just a worker; I just do what I'm told to do"

"And what's your job?" I asked curious.

"Looking after you kids"

"I'm not the only one here?" Should that give me relief that I'm not the only kid with these people or more worried? "What is this place?"

The woman just gave me an I'm sorry look and walked out the room. "You'll see soon enough"
