After food and a drink he cleans up the garbage and I sit down on the bed again, unsure of what is happening and what we are doing. Deciding I need some answers when he comes back into the room I decide now is the perfect time to talk.

"So can you answer some questions I have for me now?" he sits down on the office chair and turns to face me, his face is a blank mask.

"I will answer most of them the best as I can." he says as he gets comfortable.

"How do you know who I really am? I mean I have been under a new identity for years now and no one except a cop is supposed to know who I am." I start with the biggest question on my  mind.

"Pass, next question." he fidgets a bit in his seat, I can tell he clearly isn't comfortable with that question. I have always been pretty good at reading people, he is hiding something important but he is also not confident when faced with that question which makes me believe he is scared. I will leave that question for another time because if he is willing to answer other questions then I need to take that opportunity.

"Fine, where are we?" I opt for the easy questions.

"We are in New York under the protection of the Mob." he answers truthfully, I can't believe that we are only three hours away from where I was stationed by the police.

"Why am I here?" I keep pressing on, he thinks about it for a moment before answering.

"Initially you were chosen because you have the right requirements the boss wants for his human trafficking ring. Once I realized who you were, I knew I had to save you from that fate no matter what. Now, I am not sure how but I want to keep you safe if you will let me." again he is telling the truth, I can tell by the way he is sitting and keeping eye contact.

"Okay and how do you plan on doing this and what does that entail from me?" I remember the conversation with the boss, he said I would be useful to the boss while he is still under employment.

"I knew you would get to the hard questions eventually." he sighed and ran his hand through his hair again. He tends to do that when he is thinking or frustrated. "Well first off, I do know what you are capable of. I know you have a photographic memory and can read people very well, that is what I think will be of use to my boss. My plan, honestly, I have no clue. Just know that I promise to keep you safe no matter what." he vows, I feel it deep down that he does mean what he says.

"Okay, now what then?" my mind is reeling and I am scared but I know this is just something else I have to do to survive. Just like living off the streets when living at the orphanage, just like going into witness protection. I did it all just to survive.

"For now I still have a job to do for the boss, I don't trust many people besides Marshal and his brother Chet so I hate to ask you to stay in my room, but I need you to stay in my room to be safe while I am gone." he runs his hand through his hair again, the motion reminds me of when I was younger, Chuck always rubbed the stubble he had on his head the exact same way because he always kept his head shaved in a buzz cut.

I smile thinking back on the days when Chuck and I were together, we did everything together. I remember one time at the orphanage I woke up later than usual and he was gone for some reason. When he came back he told me he had a surprise for me and to wait for him in the basement. When he came down he had two take out containers with breakfast in them for us, so we didn't have to eat with the other kids.

I forgot to answer Charlie, so when he cleared his throat I jumped, he startled me. 

"Sorry, I was remembering something from my past. I understand and will stay put until you come back. But just wondering, what is there to do while your gone? I mean I don't see a tv unless its fancy and is hidden in the wall or some shit like that." I use my hands and gesture to the room around us.

"Yeah I've already asked Chet to pick up a TV and a fire stick so we can get Netflix or Disney plus or whatever you want so you can have something to do. I have it set that Jenny will bring you food if I am not back in time for supper, she's the one who got you the clothes. She is a nice girl, but not someone you want to piss off. Just a piece of advice." he smiles as there is another knock on the door.

He gets up and answers the door, its a man I don't recognize and his friend Marshal carrying a TV, I am taking a wild guess that the other man is Chet.

"Perfect timing boys, lets get this set up and we will be good to go." the girl from before comes into the room behind them with some tools. She sets them down on the desk then comes and sits on the bed beside me.

"Hi I'm Jenny. How did you like the clothes?" she beams brightly as she holds out her hand. I shake her hand and smile back politely.

"They fit really good, thanks. Some of the lingerie is not my style and I don't wear skirts often but its all really cute." I give her kudos.

"Well if you don't want the skirts I will for sure take them, same with the undies. I like that kind of stuff for when I go out to the clubs." she winks at me and giggles.

"What the fuck man, hold the damn thing up!" we hear Marshal holler as the TV is almost dropped to the ground.

"Shit sorry guys." the Chet guy mumbles before lifting it back into place. The three of them were struggling something awful, but after a few more minutes it was turned on and Charlie was entering emails and passwords for both Netflix and Disney plus.

"There you are all set up, I left the drinks on the desk. If you need snacks" he drags a box out from under the desk, " this box has all different kinds. It ranges from chips, chocolate, licorice and cookies." he grins at me, Chet digs into the box and gets a smack upside the head.

"What the fuck?" he grumbles as he rubs the back of his head.

"I told Naomie to help her self not you, we have a job to do so walk boy!" Charlie pushed Chet towards the door, Marshal gave a silent salute to Charlie and winked at me as he left. Jenny got off the bed and smiled.

"I'll be back with supper around six if he isn't back. Your not allergic to anything? Or anything you won't eat?" she quickly questions.

"Nope your good. I eat anything as long as it tastes good." she grins at me and takes off out the door.

"Are you sure you are going to be okay?" he seems reluctant to go, so I smiled and nodded my head.

"I will be fine, I will watch movies and gorge on your candy box. Although you may need more if I am to be stuck in the room for more then one day." I grin at him. Shaking his head he says good bye, grabs a sweater and takes off out the door. I quickly get up and lock the door behind him, feeling a bit safer and lay down on the bed with a bag of salt and vinegar chips and watch movies all day long.
