I'm Not Your Innocent Ex-Wife Anymore (#Wattys2018)

Not Again

Lisa POV

As soon as I saw the door open, I knew something was wrong.

But I didn't have much time to react before I saw both Max and the blue eye guy coming straight at me

"Hey guys nice to see you again" I try to say,  calmly as I walk backward

"What brings you by?" I asked hoping to buy me sometime

"We are great..." says Max before the other one threw him a dirty look

"Stop talking you idiot," the blue eye told Max, "just hold her down and make sure she doesn't escape"

Max did as he was told, and soon he was grabbing me by the arm

"If you try to scream, we won't hesitate in killing you," said the blue eye guy

I knew he wasn't joking, he wouldn't hesitate in killing me, but I had my doubts about Max

I knew he was restraining me, but I could tell he wasn't trying to hurt me. Max was just doing what he was told. I also, figured if I wanted to escape, I would need his help

But before I could think too much, they were dragging me towards their car. I knew I couldn't fight back, because the two of them combined outnumbered me

So I just played along, until I could figure out more

The ride to where they were taking me wasn't as long, maybe about 20-30 minutes top

As he was carrying me, I try to identify anything that would give me a clue to as to where I was, but I didn't see anything familiar

I try to memorize the way, but the place looks like a maze, with endless hallways that seem to go out for miles

"Hey Max, can I ask you a question?" I ask

He seems surprised that I remember his name, that his grip on me loosen for about a second.

"Sure, what it's?" He says trying to sound tough, but I could tell he was curious as to what I was going to ask him

"Why do you stay with him?  When I can tell that you don't like hurting people?" I ask

He seems to ponder this for a long time, that I was almost sure he wasn't going to respond, however, he did

"Is not because I want to, it's because they took someone from me, a very long time ago. You see, when I was little I had a younger sister, her name was Lily; but when she was two the men, my boss took both of us from our parents. She was sold to a family, while I was forced to stay here and train to become one of his minions. The only reason why I'm still here is to find a clue as to where she is now" he said in a low voice so that the other guy wouldn't hear him

I was left speechless, but it wouldn't be until later that I would put all the pieces together

Officer Thomas POV

I was worried when Lissa didn't answer my call. But it wasn't until I try calling her two hours later that I knew something was wrong
