Chapter Seven

Day Five

I began to feel a tapping on my shoulder drawing me out of my sleep. Slowly, I opened my eyes, I looked up, my eyesight becoming clearer and saw Elise standing over me. I sat up slowly and began to wipe my eyes. I looked around the room and noticed that Sergio wasn't anywhere in sight.

“Where's Sergio?” I asked.

“He went to the store for groceries, he should be back soon.” Elise said as she sat on the edge of the bed. She looked out of the window, then back at me. “I wanted to ask you...” She said softly, her voice fading. She looked down at her hands as her thumbs rubbed the insides of her palms. Then she looked back at me, her eyes held a certain sadness and apprehension.

“I think I know what you're going to ask me and I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it sooner. Please give me something of his.” I said, speculating what Elise was going to ask me.

If I hadn't been so ruffled by last night’s horrific shoot out, I might have thought about it then. Elise looked relieved; she sprang from the bed and walked towards Devin's suitcase. She fished through his belongings looking for something special of his that I could use. She removed a belt from the suitcase and walked towards me holding the belt with an outstretched hand. I looked at it then took the belt from her and proceeded to read the words that were on the buckle. The metal buckle had the words “Fuck You” carved into it. I chuckled; the belt reminded me of something Annette would have brought, only hers would have been more flashy, like “Fuck You,” spelled out in rhinestones or something of the like.

I closed my eyes and felt a tingling sensation as I held onto the belt, I opened my eyes and looked at Elise. “He is still alive! I can tell because I felt a sensation when I made my connection with him!” I said excitedly.

“Oh thank god!” Elise exhaled as her legs buckled and she sat down hard on the edge of the bed. Her hand hovering over her mouth.

I could see her eyes water, she rose from the bed, walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind herself. I felt sorry for her; I could only imagine what she might be feeling at this point. I thought about leaving the room, but I figured if I were in her situation, I would want a shoulder to cry on. Slowly, I stood up and walked towards the bathroom door and knocked.

“Elise, may I come in?” I asked softly. There was a lengthy moment of silence then the door opened. Elise stood in front of me, her eyes reddened.

“Don't worry Elise, we're going to save him.” I said then I walked over to her and took her into my embrace. She was rigid at first, but then I felt her relax and her arms encircled me.

“Thank you,” she said softly.
