Chapter 15
***
I have locked up in the room again where I stayed till five pm. I cried. I cried because I realized I couldn't make it. Who knew what mission they would give me? I just said what I'd said earlier so the boss wouldn't touch me. I was still sobbing when there was suddenly a knock on the door.
"Put the blindfold on. We're about to walk in." a voice ordered from the other side. I quickly did as I was told. The door was unlocked and I heard them come in. I stood up and adjusted my short gown.
"This is what you'll do." It was the boss's voice "Some Russians, some of the richest yet most dangerous gang leaders are here in Brazil for the inauguration of a wristwatch belonging to the most dangerous of them all, Rudolfo Krieste. It costs five million U.S dollars. I need that watch. You are to be considered as Anabelle Bulu, one of the richest heirs of the African continent. You will be going with Anthonio. He knows what to do."
They left the room after giving their instructions. What had I gotten myself into?
Velma came in some minutes later with a little box. She opened it in front of me. In the box was, another short tight black dress. A pair of black heels and a black purse. I wore them all. Then Velma made me up.
I tried to speak to her but she didn't reply. I was blindfolded again and a man entered my room.
"You're to be driven to the seaport where Anthonio will be waiting for you. You'll both leave from there to the inauguration."
"O...okay..."

I sat in the limo. As quiet as ever. Me was one of the members of the gang. He was to make sure I made it to the seaport. We drove for about thirty minutes and I felt the car stop in a quiet place.
I was led out of the limo and I felt the man untie the blindfold. I turned to him. As expected, he had a mask.
"W...where's Anthonio?..." I asked.
"Take the road on your right and go straight. You'll see him. Don't you dare try to escape?"
Where could I escape to? Nowhere.
"I...I won't..."
"Go. I'm watching you."
I turned on my heel and walked towards the right street. I continued to move all straight.
