Biran heard the voice once more. Thoughts raced through his had faster than a nascar try-outs.

He didn't wait for Malik to explain, though. he quickly lunged forward at him, faking a punch and then kicking at the leg.

He didn't know if he could beat Malik in a fight but he was hoping his martial arts training would give him the upper hand.

After all... the only thing he had to do was keep Malik busy until his father got there who was comming to pick him up.

Malik quickly stepped back and pushed forward to grab Biran's wrists. He looked straight in his eyes. "Listen. I don't know, but it seems this is driving you crazy. You should get help. You are hearing voices, you know that? Why you are attacking me? There's nothing, Biran. Get that? You need to calm yourself. You really need to."

Biran thought only a moment about Malik's words, then continued his assualt.

He kicked at Maliks right leg, jerking and twisting his wrist free from his grip.

Biran hit Malik's leg hard, knocking him to the ground.

His mind raced around the room until he saw the basement door. He rushed over to it and yanked it open.

Meanwhile, Ernest was back at the house. His home was flooded with police officers. They had hooked up his phone so if anyone phoned (like the kidnapper), they would be able to hear who it was and track it after 45 seconds (since the kidnapper would most likely phone on a cell-phone). If it was on a land phone, they would be able to track it imediately.

Ernest sat on the couch, his dark eyes watching the phone. He had left his wife at the government building. She was talking with some policemen who were there. He, was sent home by orders of the Head of Police. He had to be there if the phone rang.

Biran looked down int he dark basement, he could only partialy make out the appearance of a young woman who looked tied up. In his memory he recaled the image of the young woman who he saw being kidnapped... he was sure it was her!

But why? WHy would Malik have kidnapped her?

Biran stopped and turned around before Malik could do anything more.

"I want it," he said quickly. "I want half the ransom."

Malik slowly got up and shook his head, looking down on the floor. "You really think I want money from them? You know what they have done to me. Her family...they ruined my life. You know that. I don't want their money. I want to make them feel what they have made me felt. I'm not interested in any ransom."
He looked at Biran and shook his head again. "I just want to make them suffer...they should know..."

"What did they do to you?" Biran asked, unsure what Malik was talking about.

"What they did to me?!" Malik shook his head, not believing his friend dared to ask him this. "You know what they did to me. Ernest Drake...he...he said...I didn't fit into his company anymore...they company was expanding...they didn't need me anymore...so they threw me out." He shook his head and his voice got softer again, almost desperate now. "Can you believe that? They threw me out...after 15 years...15 years..." He paused for a while. "15 years, I worked for him, did everything like he wanted...and then...he fired me. I told my girlfriend...and she left me...for another guy...a more sucessful guy...someone who could give her what she wanted...and I was alone." He looked down to the woman in the cellar, his eyes cold and emotionless. "I just want to see him suffer...I don't want to hurt her...I don't want money. I just want him to feel how it is like...to be helpless...unable to do anything...what it feels like...when you lose control...when you lose someone you care for." He looked back at Biran. "Can't you understand this? Can't you try...to understand how I feel?"

Biran looked over at Malik, now with a softer expression on his face.

"Look, I can understand why you would be hurt...but do you really think making his daughter suffer for what he did is justice?"

Brie awoke. she sat up and was sore from how she had been sitting. she squinted her eyes at the light coming through the doorway. " is someone there?" she said. she was still a little tired but the 15 minuets of sleep she got was enough to keep her awake for a little longer.
