Chapter 200 – RAN AWAY
After all the ropes were untied, the man led Ellena to go to the bathroom which was outside the room.
Ellena held her wrist which was red from the tying of the rope alternately. Feeling a little relieved because now the blood flow has flowed smoothly, although the pain is still there.
"Heh, don't you want to pee? Why are you so quiet?" The man snapped in a loud voice, as Ellena was only a few feet from the bathroom. One of the man's hands pushed Ellena's back until she almost fell. Luckily the pressure wasn't too strong.
"Y-yes, Sir." Ellena squeaked in a low voice. Actually the woman lied about wanting to go to the bathroom, so she slowed her pace, wanting to buy as much time as possible.
"Hurry up! You sluggish. What a pain!" The bald man kept uttering swear words in annoyance.
"Ah … sorry, Sir. My leg hurts because you tied it too tightly. So, please understand," said Ellena in the saddest tone possible.
"Don't make excuses!" The man again pushed Ellena's body. This time it was hard enough that she fell to the ground.
"Argh! This hurts so much." Ellena is now in tears. It didn't hurt that much, but she had to pretend to give her mother enough time to loosen the knots. Moreover, the woman was trying to observe the building, in order to find a safe way out later.
"Hey, don't be spoiled. I'm not even pushing you hard. Don't pretend and walk faster or I'll change my mind!" Threatened the man with a sharp glare. His patience is now really on the brink. Even though he was playing chess earlier, he had to deliver Ellena.
"B-but it really hurts, sir. Really." Ellena looked at the bald man with welled eyes. It was as if her tears would spill out at that very moment.
"The bathroom is at the end of the room. I'll wait here." The man said indifferently. He took out a cigarette and a lighter from his trouser pocket. Waiting was the most boring thing in the world, so he would enjoy it by sucking the poison stick.
Ellena was still walking with a limp and a painful face until in front of the bathroom. However, as soon as she entered the small room, she changed her expression as usual.
The woman looked at the only rectangular vent in the bathroom. The size is quite large and seems to be able to be passed by Ellena. Although the location is quite far and difficult to reach, even adults.
"Hm, looks like I can reach it if I go upstairs." Ellena muttered as she set foot on the edge of the wall of the water bath.
Ah, it turns out that the ventilation is still too high. Ellena now put her left foot on the faucet and finally one hand could hold firmly on the 80 centimeter long square hole. It takes effort to climb it.
Half of Ellena's body was already outside. Now she turned her body a little and tightened the grip on the wall. Slowly she removed her right leg from the hole. Now the sitting position is similar to riding a horse.
After observing the location that would be her landing site, Ellena turned her body. Her legs were out of the room and parts of her body were protruding into the bathroom.
"Hey, are you still old?" shouted the bald man impatiently. There was a loud knock on the bathroom door, causing Ellena to jump and almost fall back into the bathroom. Looks like he wants to make sure that woman is still inside
"Wait a minute, my stomach hurts so much," replied Ellena in a loud voice.
"Do not be too long!" The man replied. After that no more sound was heard.
"Looks like it's safe!" Ellena muttered. She resumed her activities. After the count of three, the woman let go of her hand and plopped down. Even though it wasn't a perfect landing, at least no part of her body was injured.
Ellena immediately got up and ran towards the fence. The bathroom was at the back of the house, so she had to walk further down the street. However, she will do anything to save herself.
"Wait for me, Mom. I'll run as fast as I can to get help." Ellena muttered as she ran.
On the other hand, Lucas, Richard, and Adley were on their way to where the Jeep was after getting the kidnapper's exact location. Not a difficult matter, because they are powerful people who have many connections.
Yes, Lucas even deployed his subordinates to hack all the CCTVs on the highway leading north. In fact, he used the help of satellites to get the coordinates of where the car was.
"Hey, if you drive like this, we're going to die before we get to the kidnappers," snapped Adley, protesting Lucas' reckless driving.
Right when he got information from some of Lucas and Adley's confidants, Alex was busy contacting someone. I don't know who it was, even Lucas didn't know. Until finally Lucas took over the car and let Alex follow with David.
"I will not die before saving my wife!" said the man. His eyes were still focused on the road.
Meanwhile, Adley just stood still and held on so as not to fall. Now it's as if they are in the game 'Most Wanted', a car racing game that was once very popular or is it more like a scene from the movie 'Tokyo Drift' or 'Taxi'? Ah, for some reason he just remembered that, even though a while ago he was still very worried about Ellena. However, the speed of the vehicle was very fast, inevitably made him think about his safety. In fact, thinking about strange things like games to movie scenes.
Elsewhere, Ellena is still trying to leave her captive place. However, stopped in her tracks when she saw an open window. From there she could hear the conversation of the kidnappers. The woman pressed herself against the wall, and even held her breath in fear.
Ellena crouched right under the window. Sneak up slowly, trying not to make a sound. She tried to run as far as possible.
"Hey, check it out. Why is that woman taking so long. You know that bald guy is stupid?"
One of the kidnappers stood idly. Just as he was about to walk towards the bathroom, the bald man in question had already approached them with a worried face.
"Th-there is—"
"That girl ran away!" cried the bald man and instantly made the other kidnappers stand up.
"You idiot! It's incompetent to keep an eye on just one woman!" The bearded man hit the bald man's head hard. "Hurry up and disperse and find him as soon as possible!"
The bearded man's shout made all the other men scatter to look for Ellena. Now the woman was running as fast as she could towards the main road. He had to make good use of the opportunity, because there wouldn't be a second chance.
Unlucky. When almost reaching the highway, the bearded man actually caught Ellena.
"She's here!" shouted the bearded man. His eyes fixed on Ellena, making her shudder in horror. It seems, if caught later he will not just be tied up. However, it will be punished first.
"Unlucky." cursed Elena annoyed.
Now her percentage of success in escaping was decreasing. For a moment she looked back, trying to make sure the kidnappers were still far enough away from her. Unfortunately, they also ran quite fast, moreover there were four of them.
Finally Ellena ran again without looking back. Just run as hard as you can and as far as you can. However, suddenly her foot tripped on a rock and made her fall down. The woman winced at the pain in her palms and knees. Rough scratches create red dots there as the surface of the skin rubs against the rough road.
Ellena glanced back. The kidnappers were getting closer and closer, making him even harder to get back up.
"Come on, Ellena, you must be strong! Mother's safety depends on me." Ellena got up and tried to cheer her up. Yes, in her hands she now holds two lives, not only but her mother's as well.
Ellena was just about to run, but the bearded man who was chasing behind suddenly tugged at her long hair.
"Argh, it hurts! Let go!" Elena screamed in pain. Her small hands held her hair to ease the pain she was feeling a little. Her legs tried to kick into the bearded man's body.
The bearded man who had been annoyed ever since just got more and more irritated. He released, grip on Ellena's hair. His right hand immediately rose into the air. It seemed like he was going to give a pretty hard blow as punishment for that woman daring to run away. Realizing that, Ellena immediately closed her eyes.
However, a kick in the waist sent the bearded man crashing in pain.
When she opened her eyes, Ellena found the figure she had longed for so long was fighting a bearded man. Yes, he was Lucas, the husband she loved so much. The woman had tears in her eyes. Mixed feelings.
"How dare you touch my wife! Find yourself dead, huh?" Lucas beat the man blindly. He couldn't control his emotions when he saw someone hurt the woman he loved so much.
While the other two kidnappers fought Adley and Richard. Well, it wasn't a fair fight, but Richard had brought the big piece of wood he picked up on the side of the road earlier.
Lucas stopped his punches because the bearded man was lying helplessly on the road. For a moment the man coughed and vomited fresh blood. He might be trained and experienced, but Lucas was no ordinary man either. Moreover, anger makes his strength increase many times over.
Lucas walked breathlessly towards Ellena. Slowly and surely, his legs continued to swing without taking his eyes off the woman he had longed for so much.
"Lu-Lucas?" Ellena whispered with slightly trembling lips and legs.. Her eyes were already teary looking at Lucas who was now standing a few meters away from her.
