168 The search
Dom
After three hours of driving through the lonely part of Lombardia city, we finally got to the remote village which fitted perfectly to the description father gave to us. We parked carefully and came down from the car, except for the driver whom we asked to stay back and watch the car, Viper and I decided to search the whole village
“Should we go together or should we split up?” Viper asked
I looked around the whole place which looked as silent as a graveyard making me wonder how Tana ended up in a place like this
“If father’s men sighted Tana around here that means the people that took her do not live far away from here”
“You’re right” Viper nodded
“I’ll come back for them later, let’s focus on finding Tana, there’s only three ways out of this place, one is the east, north and one is the west, which side could she have run to?”
“The east is filled with thick forest and it looks more dangerous than ever, running towards it one can easily hide away from whoever that is chasing him or her but the chances of finding one’s way out are very low because the person might get eaten by wild animal before they make it out alive,
While the west is open as a field, running through this part can get someone killed because you can be caught easily and there’s no way to hide,
Lastly is the North which is the middle part, the bridge running through this part will not keep you safe but you can run away from whoever is chasing you as soon as you jump into the river beneath this bridge and the chances of your attacker jumping in is 0” He concluded looking at Dom
“So in conclusion, which part do you think Tana would follow?” I asked
“Let’s say our mind at the count of three” He replied and I nodded
“1, 2, 3”
“North…..!” We both chorussed at the same time,
“You think the same too?” I asked and he nodded his head
“But then if Tana ran through this part, does it mean she jumped into the water?” Viper asked looking at me
“Let’s run towards the bridge and see”
“Hmmm” He replied as we both made our way towards the bridge, I suddenly stopped and turned towards Viper
“We need to do something”
“What?”
“We need to practice this, let’s assume you’re chasing after me, let’s see if we can make anything out of it”
“Are you ready?” I asked him
“Always” He smile,
I took off immediately while Viper began to chase after me, as I run through the shaky bridge, I can feel the fear in Tana’s heart the fast beating of her heart as she tried to run away from them, the anxiety she must have felt at that moment, the feeling of helplessness,
I suddenly got to the edge of the bridge and was shocked to see there is a cliff there and if care is not taken if one ever falls from this cliff down to this hill down there the person is going to die. This hill is filled with mighty rocks, which will lead to instant death if one ever falls on it.
“You need to see this” I called Viper’s attention moving back slowly,
“Shit! A cliff?” Viper muttered in surprise and I nodded,
I could feel Tana’s attackers behind her laughing at her in a mockery tone, with my Tana left with only two options, either to jump down the cliff or jump into the water, she must have fought life and death at the same time,
“Which one do you think she chose?” Viper asked
“My Tana is not someone that gives up easily, if she could escape from them then I don’t think she would easily give in to death by jumping down the cliff, my Tana is a fighter, she won’t give in easily”
“That means she jumped the cliff” Viper added
“She didn’t” I nodded I looked down the river and turned to Viper
“I think she jumped down the ocean”
“Shit! Can Tana swim?”
“I don’t think so, I haven’t seen her swim before”
“That means only one thing,” Vier said looking at me,
“What could that be, spill it already I’m going crazy”
“She jumped into the water hoping that someone might save her or she might die, but it’s better than jumping down the cliff which only leads to death”
“Fuck!” I growl, ruffling my hair in a frustrating way,
“I think I have an idea”
“What fucking idea?”
“If Tana is alive then I think I know where to find her”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Where?” I asked looking at Viper with a leap of faith.
“If truly she’s saved by someone, then it’s definitely someone that lives in the nearest village close to the river from the other side which is the south”
“Let’s move,” I said to Viper immediately as we ran back to the car, we entered as the driver zoomed off immediately.
