Meanwhile
At the underground Store.
The thunder stroke suddenly indicates that it's about to rain.
" Mommy! " The little guy yelled in fright, he was very scared and had completely forgotten about his image at that moment.
Then the Thunder stroke once again and this time the boy screamed harder. " Mummy! "
Lucia had compassion on him and moved closer to him, she held his shoulders and soon Realized that he was shaking in fear.
She embraced him and before she knew what was up, her polo began to get soaked and then she realized that the boy was crying.
' But I thought men don't cry? ' She wondered as she began patting his head in a Consoling manner.
The thunder stroke for the third time.
Lucia noticed that the body embraced her tighter in fear, still, he continued crying.
Lucia kept patting his head in silence.
She felt so very sorry for him and decided not to tease him again.
She had once heard that some children are often scared of thunder as it brings about bad memories so she dared not make fun of him without knowing the reason behind everything.
The duo remained in that position for about an hour before the boy finally stopped crying and broke the embrace.
Lucia watched him carefully and then realized that his eyes were red and puffy from crying.
Lucia searched through her Sport wear shorts pocket and brought out a pink handkerchief from it.
She had it over to him so he could use it to wipe out his tears.
" I am not a girl, okay? " He winced as he collected the handkerchief from her and then used it to wipe his eyes.
" Anyone can use a pink handkerchief okay? , It's not only girls that can. " She said.
" Hm, Thank you. " Lucia heard his soft voice mumble.
" For what? " She asked.
" For consoling me and not making fun of me. " He said in a sluggish voice.
" Oh, you are welcome then. " She replied with a smile.
' He isn't as bad as I thought. ' She said inwardly.
" ER, am sorry for being a jerk earlier. " He said again.
" It's alright, I understand you, it's not easy being locked you here. " She said.
" Yeah, I have been here for two days now, I was kidnapped on my way back from school. " He Confessed.
" What! " I was shocked by this revelation.
" But why were you kidnapped? " I asked still shocked as I thought I was the only one that was kidnapped.
" I guess they kidnapped me to get ransom from my rich parents. " He replied calmly.
" Oh, but didn't you have bodyguards? " I asked curiously.
" Well, I do but somehow I got kidnapped despite my bodyguards being there, I only woke up hours later here. "
" Oh, it must be hard on you. "
" Yeah, I miss my mom, she must be very worried about me. " He sighed.
" Same here, have your parents been contacted? "
" I guess so," He said.
" Oh. "
" What about you? " He asked, his bright blue eyes were brimming with curiosity.
" Yes, she has been, I was kidnapped by my bastard father who wants my mom to transfer the shares of my aunt's company to him. "
" Your aunt? Who is she? "
" Well,... " She hesitated a little.
" You can tell me you know, I won't tell anyone. " He urged.
" Okay, My Godmother who I often called my aunt is Rose Quinn. " She said.
" What! Rose Quinn the once-famous Supermodel with the most beautiful legs in the world? " He asked with shock.
" Yes, I see that you are very current with the entertainment industry. "
" It's expected since my dad wants me to be aware of things as he claimed that I am the next in line to take over the company from him. "
" Oh, wow. " She said.
" I am sorry I misunderstood you earlier. " He said apologetically.
" It's alright. " She replied.
" Thanks. "
" Hm, by the way, don't you think we should find a way to escape? " She said.
" What! Can we? What if we get caught? " He questioned.
" We can try since we aren't tied up. " She replied thoughtfully.
" We'll only get caught if we aren't careful enough. "
" So, how are we going to escape? "
" Let me think. "
" While I was been brought here, I realized that we are underground and we have to climb the stairs to get to the ground floor so... " She paused before continuing.
" We can try escaping from here if there are no guards at the door. "
" Okay, but how are we going to get out from the ground floor? "
" We'll think of away. ", " Let's just wait and listen for some minutes before we make a move. " She added.
" Sure, we'll go According to your plan. " He Nodded.

" I am sure that you know better than yelling is me at this time, I still have your daughter with me, I hope you are aware of that. "
" You bastard! How dare you do this! "
" Continue cursing. " He replied with a smirk.
" You...! "
" Boss, boss, there's a problem! " Two of his men screamed as they ran towards him.
" What is it? " Rick said in a lazy tone.
" We are surrounded by the People from Moon corps and some other Big burly men, they are here with Weapons of war. "
" What!, How did this happen? , Who called them? " He was completely stunned, he never expected it to turn out like this, he seemed like he miscalculated this time.
