Chapter 17: POISON

It was a lost case; I knew he wouldn't take me here in the first place if he was hiding something important here.

But one room did look entirely suspicious since the door was labeled with a danger logo.

I tapped my earpiece and contacted Hudson, "Hey I found a room. Can you check this out?"

"I'm currently following you but there's shouldn't no certain room near there according to the blueprint we acquired,"

What? then what is this?

My hand was about to reach the doorknob when Isaac suddenly spoke behind me.

"What are you doing?" I almost jumped out of my wits when he suddenly appeared.

He didn't look suspicious of me though so I said, "Oh, I uhm, got bored waiting and found this room accidentally."

Isaac just nodded and grabbed my hand, "Let's go, food is ready."

Ugh! I completely forgot about that part! Am I going to be poisoned tonight? I sent a coded message to Hudson to prepare for anything after I finished eating since this could be my last supper Tsk.

When we got to the dining table, my eyes darted to the disgusting-looking things Isaac cooked. Some are burnt, some don't have shape anymore and the last one looks like a soup made by a witch.

I threw a glance at Isaac and felt bad when I saw his hopeful face. Why am I born despicably kindhearted?

UGH!

I sat and put every piece of what he cooked on my plate, took a spoon and gulped before tasting the dish, which is if you call this a dish.

I closed my eyes and told myself just to swallow it and don't taste it so I could finish everything on my plate.

But the moment the spoonful of that hideous dish landed in my mouth; my eyes widened as I nibbled on the remaining sauce on my lower lip.

My eyes darted on Isaac and gave him a thumbs up.

Despite the look of the dish, It's surprisingly good! Or was this just a front to this dish's real motive?

Isaac might have found out what I was doing earlier and made this dish to make me believe it's good!

I mean how can anyone make something like this? A dish that tastes good despite the fact that it looks like a dish made by a teenager living alone in his apartment.

After finishing the food, my heart suddenly started beating fast, was there a truth serum in that thing?

Everything feels like it's spinning, I hold on to the edge of my seat but it is too late. My body couldn't handle it anymore and collapsed.

I saw Isaac running towards me before I could close my eyes. The next thing I knew I was already in a hospital.

When I woke up I heard the doctor saying that the cause of this was because I was food poisoned.

When the doctor left only Logan and Isaac were left inside this room with me, of course, I was pretending to be asleep so I could hear their conversation.

"Tell me you didn't cook," Logan asked with doubt visible in his tone.

"I did and I regret it," Isaac said with a hint of bitterness.

"You almost killed her man! And she even ate that thing wholeheartedly?! I can't believe you," I can't believe myself either, I knew it would be poisonous but I still ate it.

My earpiece suddenly beeped and was sending me a coded message.

My eyes opened in shock when I deciphered the message.

" Oh! She's awake! Hey! Hey! Are you okay? Why did you eat that?"

"He looked so hopeful so I —Anyway! We got to go!"

"Huh? Why?"

We all looked at the door when it suddenly opened, dang! we're too late.

My whole family just arrived.

" Princess!"

"Are you okay? Does it hurt somewhere?"

"Why is it that every time we meet, my daughter ends up either kidnapped or now food poisoning?!" My dad was surely mad.

Mom sat beside me and whispered, "I tried stopping them but they just couldn't help themselves to rush over here when we received the news,"

Everyone was scolding Isaac and he was just standing there and receiving all the blame, Logan on the other hand was holding my brothers just so they couldn't harm his best friend.

" Tsk Tsk. Poor boy, did he really cook that? "

" Yeah, he did. He looked like he really tried cooking it so I ate it,"

Mom looked at me dearly and hugged me, "My baby sure has grown to be a fine woman. Anyways! Go! Grab your man and run away from here, I'll handle your father and your brothers."

That sounded like something I would hear in a fairytale book but since we're in this kind of situation maybe it does apply.

I hopped down the hospital bed and snatched Isaac's hand. Everyone's eyes darted on me and was surprised when I ran out with Isaac.

"Give my daughter back here! Trazona!" That was the last thing we heard before we completely left the hospital.

Isaac is currently driving right now. I don't know where he's taking me but if he does try anything Hudson is on tail somewhere.

"Someone's following us we need to hide," Shit.

Isaac sped up the engine and drove faster. I told Hudson to abort today's mission and focus on finding everything he could about that underground training area.

Isaac didn't stop driving fast so I looked back and saw a car following us. So, it was true! It's not Hudson but someone different!

"Don't do anything reckless woman, you just escaped from the hospital. Sit down!" Tch. Who made him the boss? And here I thought he looked pitiful earlier. I take that back! Stupid Isaac.

Isaac handled those who were following us on his own but by the time he finished, we found ourselves in an inhabited village.

Are we lost? Fuck!

Where in the bloody hell are we?!
