Crayola nodded at what I told her, and went away. She didn't want to be here, so that was a perfect opportunity for her to get away. I'm not sure if she understood my words, since she has difficulties talking with sense and she can trip any second, but maybe her listening skills weren't lost.

_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:

"Oh look who's there" said one of the kidnappers, with a stupid smile on his face. Way more stupid than Crayola's smile, and a lot more annoying.

"You told me to come here and you don't even know my name? That's a surprise, but surely not a nice one!" I said. "Or maybe you're scared of me so much that my name brings shivers down your spine? That would make sense! After all, you made a totally uninvolved person tell me to come here! You also kidnapped a guy I don't even know! I can go on if you want to."

For some reason, instead of losing confidence, this dude started laughing.

"Well, number 5, you sure haven't lost your communication skills! Paying attention to what you say on the other hand..."
Aaand he started laughing again. Please, he sounded like a dying mouse-

"I don't know what do you mean."

"Well you lil grape. I mean you just said 'guy'. How did you know it was a he? Hm??"

"Miss Blondie told me? I mean she could?? It was her friend??? Makes sense or nah????"

"...how do you know it is her friend huh? Now you have fallen into our trap"

I can fucking not believe a person can be THIS stupid.

"Idiot I just told you she told me everything. I spoke with her. This is pointless."
At this point I didn't have hope for this conversation to go anywhere.

"Whatever. You know this boy and I'm sure of it. I saw you talking to him at the shop nearby."

"Ok but what do you want. I still don't get it. Also where is he, I don't have time."
I clearly started to loose my patience. I could sense the fact that this was what he wanted. What they all did. We're enemies.

"Hooold on. One question at a timeee! The mysterious boi is... Uh... Bring him here guys!"

Two dudes sighed, as they clearly didn't want to be his servants, but they did what he said. It wasn't like there was rooms, after all we were outside, between blocks of flats, but it was dark enough for the other side of the alley to be completely dark. And thus, from this side of the place, they dragged a poor boy, right to me.

"Are you ok?!" I screamed as I didn't know what to say.
He was scared. Scared as I would never expect a person to be.
And it's a my fault.
Why did he even talk to me? Why did I start a conversation? To put him in danger? To give him trauma? That's the best I can do? Seriously?

"Do I know you?"
He doesn't remember me. It hurts. But it's better for both of us.

"Oh wait I do...I met you at the store the other day! Woah...I never expected you to be a street gang member! Why are you here? Did you save me?"

Aaand my sadness went awayyy

Despite that I still wanted to cry. Tears of happiness maybe? I don't know.

"Well...it's all thanks to your friend. If she didn't tell me all that, I wouldn't be there, so thank her later!"

They tried him up with...a cable? Weird kink but ok...

I untied him quickly, and made sure he isn't too injured, after that I went straight to the point.

"What do you want from ME then, you bench disrespecting idiots?"
