I looked up at the round cover which blocked out most of the sunlight and sighed looking at the height of the hole.

Even if Shaub would help me to climb up I would not reach the top as first there is nothing for the support and I wouldn't let that crazy man touch me.

But I'm afraid that we wouldn't be able to get out of this place if we did not cooperate with each other. We too are the only ones who are stuck inside and even if we shouted for help no one would come for our aid.

And it would take a night for Nicho and Nessy to worry about our whereabouts as they would simply think that we were having fun so decided to return late and then they will try to search for us which will surely take few hours.

I had seen CCTV around the mansions and outside the mansion gate but I do not know if they had one in this area. It would be better if they had one and it wouldn't be a big thing for them as they own this place.

I didn't hear the jerk speak for a while and turned to look at him to see him checking out the place with the help of the flashlight on his mobile. It's good that the jerk didn't forget to bring his mobile along with him.

I do not know who is the idiot to dug this hole out of nowhere and what's its use as it doesn't seem to be a manhole we usually have on the roads.

Looking at its condition, it seemed to be an old one, and half of the wall is only paved with cement, leaving the upper half unattended. Luckily, the ground is paved and we do not have to sit on the soil which would be troublesome.

But the place is full of dirt and there is a pungent smell lingering in the air nearly making one puke his/her guts out if he/she has a low tolerance to it.

After inspecting the place, Shaub frowned looking at the ground as if contemplating to sit down or not. As the area was circular we were standing opposite of each other so I could clearly see his every action.

At last, he decided to stand up and unlocked his mobile turning off the flashlight. He tapped furiously on his screen like he is calling someone but got irritated when the call couldn't get through even after trying 10 times.

I counted every time he waited patiently for the call to be received and when the call would end, his breathing will become harsh. I couldn't clearly see his face but it's enough to imagine his sorry state.

"Fuck. This place doesn't have a signal." He cursed looking up at the cover.

"No sane people will look for a network at this place." I said in a mocking tone ignoring his dejected mood.

"Are you calling me insane?" He asked as if he didn't hear me correctly.

"I'm talking to myself." I roll my eyes looking at the dirty ground and crouched down not bothering about the hygiene.

My legs became sore after standing for a long time and I do not have other options, other than to wait for someone to help us out.

"Seems like insane people will think everyone is like them and can't help but make a bad joke." He snorted still trying to find a network.

"I don't think I am in the position to joke and if I hadn't accompanied you then I would be enjoying my lunch." I said thinking about the delicious food Nessy would have prepared.

"Who told you to come? You should have stayed there and I wouldn't be stuck here." He exploded like a ticking bomb.

"Yeah, I should have thought before coming with the jerk like you." I mumbled in a low voice as it's waste of time and energy to argue with an infuriating person.

"Uhh..when will they come for help? This place is killing me." He shouted clenching the mobile tightly in his hand and was about to throw it.

"Wait." I yelled getting up from the ground and snatched the mobile from his hand which took a lot of energy.

"Idiot!" I muttered shaking my head and sat down on the ground where I was sitting a while ago.

"If you throw this mobile then what will you do when it will be night? We still do not know when someone will notice our absence." I hold the mobile like it was my life saver and close my eyes not bothering to look at the person standing in front me.

There was a silence for a long time and I heard him sat on the ground not missing the harsh glare he threw at me. Minutes turned into hours and I opened my eyes to see him starching his neck.

The sunlight was fading away so I opened the flashlight of his mobile and looked at him to see his face become red hot and beads of sweat drop from his face. He continued scratching for few more minutes and I couldn't help but move close to him.

"What are you doing?" He said in a harsh voice making me to pause for a moment.

"I'm going to help you out." I turned the flashlight towards his body and inspect his neck.

"Why?" He uttered making me stop and I looked up at his face.

"Why?" I scoffed giving him are-you-out-of-your-mind look and bend down to look at his neck.

"I'm a doctor so I need to look out for the patient." I still reason out and raise my hand to touch his neck but grabbed my hand stopping me in the process.

"Don't touch me." He threw my hand as if he is disgusted by me and his sudden action made me land on the ground.

"I'm not interested to touch you. I was just checking if it's an incest bite or not." I clenched my fist suppressing my desire to punch him.

I then move back to my original place and sat down holding the mobile in my hand turning the flashlight towards him. I glanced at him to see him wearing a cotton shirt and jeans pants.

And his shirt seemed to be wet due to his sweats which were clinging to his body. His breath became haggard and he furiously scratched his skin almost making it bleed.

"Stop scratching. You will destroy the skin and infect them with your nails." I can't help but advise turning into a doctor.

"It seems to be an allergy. So, open your shirt and let the air pass by." I suggested even if he wouldn't listen to me.

But to my surprise, he complies not making any harsh comments, and took off his shirt. He moves forward closing the small space between us and didn't move away even if his legs touch mine.

I looked at his well-built chest to see it covered with red dots and it was becoming bigger as time passes by.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his first to suppress the urge to scratch and this is the first time I have ever seen this big man in a vulnerable state.

He has always been a jerk to me and showed me his shitty attitude. But now I couldn't help but be concerned about him.

"Just hold for a while. It's soon going to be the night and Nico will surely look out for us." I tried to encourage him and felt helpless looking at his pained face.
