I Want Something In Return
The only challenge he has now is to escape Maridonna. If he decides to take a ship now and go, Alex Roberto will definitely contact officers like he did prior when Brigitta was almost at Jaro City so he must stay here for a while until he figure out a way to leave.
When it was morning, she woke up, her body aching her as she didn’t sleep on a comfortable place, of course, she had slept on Ragnar Marshall’s camo. She sat upright and greeted, “Good morning, sir. Thank you so much for coming through for me.”
Ragnar Marshall who had been sitting on a pile of stones spoke, “you left for Maridonna without informing me. Did you forget we are married?”
She sighed, of course they were married but it seems their marriage was just in paper alone. They don’t actually live like my married couples, afterall, he doesn’t even like her.
“I just had to do something,” she managed to say.
“I’ll find a way out of here, but until then, make sure you don’t leave this place without informing me. I have stolen some foods and water that can last us for a week,” he said.
“I’m sorry I’m letting you experience this hardship.” She said. This house look so awkward, she can’t believe that she and Ragnar Marshall would be here for a few more days.
“Your son, Chester would have been brought to you by now, that is if you had not gone to Maridonna. But ever since your attempt to escape with him, Alex had tightened the security around the little boy.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“I know we can’t leave here with Chester. I’ll just be patient this time around. I need to go back to other kids at home.”
Ragnar Marshall stood and went to take the food he prepared very early this morning then he served her.
She was stunned, “you don’t have to do this. I have strength to cook for us.”
“Just eat.” He said and walked away from her.
She then began to eat, wondering if he had already eaten.
After she was done eating, Ragnar Marshall said, “I’ll leave now to see how we can escape this place. Afterall, no one here can recognize my camouflaged face.”
“Please be careful,” she said and Ragnar nodded.
Hours passed quickly and night soon came, yet, she had not seen Ragnar Marshall yet. Has he been arrested? She was extremely worried but she didn’t dare to step out of that house. This was the instruction Ragnar Marshall gave to her.
At the end, the door opened and he walked in.
“You are welcome,” she said.
“We’ll leave very early tomorrow morning, you may sleep.” He said and went to sit on the stone.
“Okay, sir. Why don’t you want to sleep, sir?” She asked. She didn’t even know if he slept yesterday night.
“Ignore me. Just sleep.” His voice was flat.
She nodded and laid gently. But she couldn’t sleep yet, she just laid like someone that is truly asleep but she could not help but wonder why Ragnar Marshall didn’t come to sleep.
When it was very early in the morning, Ragnar Marshall spoke, “we must leave now.”
She stood at once and followed him outside of the house. To her surprise, there was a power bike outside the house.
“I stole this too,” he said.
She chuckled. They were soon on the bike, her hands around Ragnar Marshall’s chest even as he sped with the bike. Soon, they were at the seaport. There was a ship that was leaving to Toki Island very early that morning so they got inside that shop.
When the ship arrived at Toki Island, they both stepped down, alongside other passengers of course.
“Why did we come here?” She had been meaning to ask this question while they were inside the ship but she didn’t, lest anyone will overhear them in the ship and begin to suspect them.
“Did you not know that Alex will have eyes on every ship going to Maridona. We are safe here in Toki Island. From here, we will be heading over to Jora.” He said.
She thought it wise. Although it was a pretty long route but it’s safe.
They arrived at Toki Island in the day, when it was night, they board a ship going to Jora.
At the end, a two days journey from Maridonna to Jora became a seven days journey because of how long the route they passed was.
Brigitta and Ragnar Marshall stepped out of the ship that brought them to Jora. Ragnar called Ottar at once and in thirty minutes, he was already at the seaport. He drove both adults to the house.
When they stepped out from the car, Brigitta said to Ragnar, “I owe you, sir.”
Ragnar made a gesture to Ottar then walked inside the house. He went straight to his room while Brigitta ran to her children’s room. The kids were extremely happy to see her. She spent the rest of the days with the kids.
The following day, while cooking in the kitchen, she received a call from a private number, she answered it anyways, “Brigitta, are you safe?”
“Rollo?” She identified the voice. “What happened? I was almost reaching Jora when a call came through to the officers in the ship that Chester should be found.”
“Alex found out that Chester was no where to be found so he ordered an investigation. You must understand that I really tried my best, I’m sorry things didn’t work out as we planned but please tell me you are safe?” Rollo asked.
“I am. Infact, I’m back at my city.”
“On my days! How did you do it? As a junior officer, I’m not permitted to come into the room that Alex kept you. I’m glad you find your way out.”
“How is Chester, is he doing okay?” She asked.
“Yes. Now that I know you are safe, I’ll find a way to get him out of here and bring him over to you myself. You don’t have to come here,” he said.
“Are you serious?”
“I however want something in return.” He said.
