Chapter 271 Alex trapped in a box (1/2)

It has been a week since Alex was captured by his grandfather. Once he woke up he was already in this small isolated room. The only things to be seen in the room were the four walls, the light on the roof of the room, as well as the two security cameras on the sides, and finally a thick metal door. Aside from those things there was nothing in this empty room. There was only enough space so that Alex could lay down and sleep. The first thing Alex tried when he woke up was to destroy the metal door, even in his RELEASE state he couldn't open the door, or even dent it.

He tried even means possible to escape but it was to no avail. He wasn't even fed any food for the past week, he was only given some water one time on the third day. They first filled the room with a powerful sleeping gas, forcing Alex to faint. Once he woke up from that, there was already a bottle of water right in front of him.

Alex didn't know how long he would stay like this, so he drank only when necessary. Alex wasn't antagonized by the situation and kept his calm. As of now it was obvious his grandfather wanted something from him, so it was not like he was going to kill Alex. That may be one of the reasons as to why he was even allowed a bottle of water.

'This might be another one of that old man's tests.' Alex who had finally remembered the past he so dreaded, now had memories of all the tests his grandfather put him through. Though none of them were this extreme. That might be attributed to him being older, or because his parents were no longer there to shield him from his grandfather.

When Alex's thoughts reached a point where he was thinking about his biological parents, Alex gets a bit agitated. Especially when he remembers his biological mother. It takes him quite some time to calm himself after this. So instead Alex tried to stop thinking too much, and simply focus on surviving.

...

It has been a few days since they last gave him water. He wasn't so sure about the time, it could've been days, or weeks, he just couldn't tell anymore. Even his internal clock was getting messed up the longer he stayed in this cube.

As Alex continued to remain perfectly still the light was turned off. Now there was only total darkness and silence. It didn't matter if his eyes were open or shut tight, since it made absolutely no difference. Still Alex kept calm and continued to wait for what's next. He kept on telling himself, as long as he can survive he can escape.

...

After a few more days Alex's supply of water was finally running out. He was now losing consciousness every now and then. It was then Alex heard a knocking sound. It was morse code, it was telling him to brace for impact.

After a few seconds later, the door was blown away. Beyond the door was his dad Carlo and even Lyner was with him.

”Alex are you alright?” Carlo looked at the malnourished looking Alex angered and worried. Alex seeing that face of his was finally feeling relieved. Even Lyner was here that made feel doubly reassured.

”It's obvious that he isn't f*cking alright, look at the kid. It seems like he hasn't eaten for days. Here kid, I knew that old sleeze bag would do something like this, so I brought you some food and water.” Lyner tossed a piece of bread, and a bottle of water towards Alex who caught the two items and started eating and drinking.

”Come on Alex, we got to move fast before the guards arrive.” Carlo said in a hurry, Alex stood up and started heading out of the room, the moment his foot was out of the room, darkness once again surrounded him.

Seeing this sudden change, got Alex confused. He didn't what happened was this another trick by his grandfather. In his state of confusion Alex started to call out for Carlo and Lyner, yet no matter how loud he shouted there was no response. What had happened? Was everything just a hallucination, did he just dreamt of escaping?

”But the bread, the water, they felt so real...” Alex mumbled still in a confused state. The darkness didn't really help clarify anything, and no one was there to answer his questions. He wasn't even sure if he was talking out loud or just thinking the about it. Everything was in a mess as his five senses failed him.
