"arghhhh!!!! " ... I woke up to see grace pouring buckets of water on me, I passed out after the first torture, but for how many hours, I did not know.

"You have been off since yesterday sir, we are here for day two" .. She said ..

I barely survived the first day, I have not drank water yet, since the first day I came to the basement.

"Please grace, is this not enough yet??" . . I muttered.

"What is enough to equal death if not death? " .. She said before calling on the boys again .

They brought a tray with different sizes of sharp knives.

She started cutting my body one by one, flogging me with sharp edge, I was losing a lot of blood, I prayed my last prayers, she was laughing and saw fun with what she was doing.

When she stopped , she switched off the video camera , and then inserted the memory card in my phone , and then she sent the video to my wife , I couldn't shift , I only watched her do everything.

GABRIEL'S POV

Since the kidnap of Lina's dad, I haven't gone home, I just go pick my clothes and come back, I have to help her and her mom, I am the person working with the police.

It was actually the second day of the fathers demise , our friends came as they promised, Henry and Susan are friends now which still surprises me, but I decide to allow it slide.

We were discussing in the sitting room when we heard shouts from the moms room, we all headed to the direction Of her room.

"Mom what is it" .. Lina shouted as she pushed the door open.

We met her crying , holding her phone , we all looked and saw the video of Lina's dad bring tortured , Lina went at the pitch of very voice , allowing the ocean of accumulated tears pour after we had watched the video.

"Something can be done I think, the video was sent with his phone, and the computer guru working with the police can scan the location" ..

. I suggested immediately collecting the phone.

All of them looked at me .

"Yes , the kidnapper shot a wrong shot " .. I said "Lina , your key " .. I took the phone and headed out as fast as I could , signalling my friends to help keep them sane till I come back .

When I reached the police station , I headed to Mr dele's office , who invited a young guy with a laptop and they traced the location in which the video was sent , and then it was located .

"You can go home Gabriel , we will take it up from here " .. They said .

"Thank you sir , please be fast " ... I said before I left the police station .

When I got home , immediately I pushed the door open , everyone rushed towards me .

"Please tell us something positive " Lina said .

"They found the location, and they were going after it already when I left the station, so you all should calm down , they will find him" .. I said reassuring them.

"Thank you Riel" .. She pulled me into a deep hug .

"Thank you my son"... I felt her moms hands too, before Henry, Hills and susan came along like some family reunion.

We spent the rest of the day together watching television without saying much, for the first time, Lina's mom left her room to stay with us in the sitting room. I could see the human in them coming back.

"Christie and charity are not here yet ?"..

"Not yet mom"

I was waiting for death to embrace me when I heard sirens, and voices on microphone outside the basement, which caused a chaos amongst my kidnappers.

Grace was sweating already.

"Let's head to the tunnel, I heard them say and then they were gone" .. I didn't really know where the tunnel was.

Then the door of the basement was open and the police rushed to me .

"Senator max?" .. I tried to make some noise.

"He is still alive, medicals please" .. The nurses came and carried me with stretchers.

In the evening as my friends were about to leave the house, I got a call from Mr dele, he said they have found Lina's dad and he gave me the directions to the hospital that he was admitted.

The excitement didn't keep me mouth shut as I shouted.

"They found him !!!".

"Where " ..was ranting in the air.

"He is being admitted in the general hospital, room 6, emergency ward" ... I said as we all headed to the door.

We drove on the moms car, it was a little bigger.
