"Shhhh, it's okay. You're going to be free. You will be. I guarantee you that, you hear me?" He said into her hair, stroking gently on her back.
"You will get your freedom again." He soothed, tucking the strands of hair that fell over her face, at the side of her ear.
She let out a big whopping breath, then nodded. And then decided not to cry anymore. Alex had said she was going to get her freedom again. So that made her feel a tad better.
Alex stroked on her back, until her sobs reduced into soft breathing.
"Feel better now?" He asked a few moments later.
"Yeah." She said, slowly. Almost in a whisper.
They fell into silence for sometime, about a minute or two.

Because he was out of bullets at that time.Him and his colleague had stared at me wide eyed, after I had shot and killed the other Tunde Ibrahim's man, who had wanted to kill the colleague.On getting to the basement, I kicked the door opened with my feet, and gunshots where behind fired at me.

We had our backs against eachother as we hid and shot at these men.It was one of the most difficult situation I had ever been thrown in, because we were surrounded by these men who where shooting at us from different angles.
