THE PERSON

Angelina opened her eyes. Her head was hurting. She was lying on a broken bed with a dusty mattress. The whole room was dusty and dark. Just a small halogen bulb lighting it. There was someone in the corner of the room, sitting on a chair, observing her. The face seems familiar. It was Charlie.

Angelina panicked. She recalled what all happened to her. Charlie gave her the napkin, which has something due to which she fainted and then he kidnapped her. Angelina jumped off the bed and walked fastly towards Charlie to attack him. But Charlie was to quick for her. He grabbed both her arms and pushed her back on the bed.

"As long as you act like a sweet little girl, I would not do anything to you. If you try to be too brave, then nobody's here to save you" Charlie threatened her. But Angelina prostested "Why have you brought me here? Don't you know my father? He is really powerful and will get you arrested."

"But first he would have to catch me which is next to impossible" said Charlie. "So you better follow my orders or bear the consequences".

"What do you want? Money, my father will give you any amount of money. Please let me go and I will ask my father to give you any amount" pleaded Angelina. But it was worthless. It was clear, it's not money in which Charlie is interested, otherwise he would have called her father till now asking for money in exchange of his daughter's life. But what does he wants, Angelina wondered. Whatever, she is not going to let him control her. But she decided that attacking him is not the best idea, right now.

She started to look around the room for a window or a door. She could only she a door and ran for it as fast she could. But the door was closed. She put all her effort in opening it, banged it and shouted for help. But no help. Charlie laughed.

"You better sleep. All these efforts are useless and if you don't want to sleep, do whatever you want, just don't disturb me while I am sleeping." said Charlie in a stern voice. And then slept on the same chair he was sitting on. Angelina observed him for sometime. He was looking as handsome as always but now she can never find him handsome, he was the ugliest person she ever met. Her eyes fell on something shining through Charlie's pocket. It was a key! She instantly knew what she had to do.

She checked if Charlie was asleep. Then discreetly took the key out of his pocket. Moved to the door as quitely as she can and opened the door with key, without making a sound.

The door opened in a small yard covered with trees. She moved out of the yard to the road, which was completely dark and lonely, and ran as fast as she can. She had no idea where she was or where she was going. All she can think was finding someone who can help her.

It was fifteen minutes later when she saw two silhouettes moving towards her. The silhouettes releaved themselves to be two men. "Am I hallucinating or a girl is running towards us?" said one to the other. "It's a girl, a beautiful one." Angelina came closer to them and said while huffing "Please help me! A man kidnapped me. Please call my father".

"And what will we get in return" asked one of the man. "Any amount of money you want" she replied. "I think you can give us more than money" said the man.

Angelina started to move back slowly but one of the man grabbed her hand and pull her towards him. The other man grabbed her waist. She could feel his hand through her green sequin dress.

But suddenly someone punched one of the man from behind. He fell down on the road shouting with pain. The other man tried to retaliate but the savior was too quick and punched him across face and he also fell down.
Angelina couldn't be more thankful to the savior. But she let out a gasp when she realised it was no one other than Charlie. She again tried to run away.

"You can go if you want, I won't stop you but just think if you find more abusers like these" said Charlie. "Abusers! What do you mean? Aren't you yourself a abuser?" replied Angelina. "Okay, your choice" said Charlie. Angelina thought for a minute and felt that she was safer with Charlie that running on the lonely road in middle of the night. Charlie led the way. Angelina started to move behind him. But she saw something has fell out of Charlie's pocket while fighting the abusers, lying on the road. She picked it up, it was some kind of card and followed Charlie, who was moving quite fast.

"So you're a police officer" said Angelina when they reached the old dusty room. "Are you out of your mind?" said Charlie. "I am not but I think you're because who carries his police identity card while kidnapping someone" she said while giggling. "So why don't you tell me the truth, Mr. Officer? Why is the police kidnapping innocent girls?"

Charlie felt a bit ashamed. He felt sorry. "I am sorry for being rude to you earlier. Actually all this was your father's plan to keep you safe." Charlie told her about the secret plan. "I don't think my father meant you to keep me in this dingy dusty room."asked Angelina.

"Well, I don't have anywhere else to take you"said Charlie shyly. "You mean you live here, I thought police officers can afford better accomodations than this small ass room" said Angelina. "No, no I don't live here. I have a nice house." informed Charlie. "So why didn't you take me there? Do you live with your parents?" asked Angelina. "No I live alone. But still what will I tell my friends and neighbors? Who is this girl who has randomly appeared at my home?" said Charlie smiling.

"Well maybe, I can be your girlfriend or maybe wife" suggested Angelina. "I am ready to act like I am in love with you as long as I don't have to live in this disgusting room"said Angelina while laughing.

"I will take you to my home. But I would need your small help. I love my job and currently it is to keep you safe. So will you promise that you will follow the rules I make for your safety? And please don't tell your father that I treated you badly otherwise he'll get me fired" told Charlie.
"Don't worry. I will keep myself and your job both safe" said Angelina.
