A Strange Way to Fall in Love Chapter Twenty Two
"Kyle, you should tell them about the time Lola got kidnapped," Mark said.
"Wait what," some guy in my unit said.
"It's true. Lola has been kidnapped, beaten, hung from her neck, tied to a bedpost, stared to almost death," I said, "but these are not my stories to tell!"
These aren't true stories," some guy in the back said, "this 'Lola' girl could not be alive after all this."
"Or hot," someone else said.
"I have seen her with my own two eyes. She does exist," Mark said as he came to my defense, "Although, I have a fiancee, Lola is not bad looking at all! But no one can be compared to my girl!"
"Thank you Mark," I said.
"But why is everything happening to this one girl," Jason asked.
"I do not really know. Lola says it's just bad luck," I shrugged.
"Wow that is some bad luck," one other guy said.
"I know," I said.
"So what about those other stories," he said.
"I'm sorry but I just cannot tell her life story," I stated, "besides, it's way to awful to want to know!"
"Kyle, you are not going to win this," Mark said, "just tell them."
"Fine," I said, "but, I have  no idea where to start!"
"At the beginning," Jason said.
"Okay. Of how she came to the orphanage," I asked unsure.
"Yeah," Mark said, " I do not even know that much!"
"Well she came to ophanage when she was really little. I am not sure what age," I stated, "when she was real little, she was at home with her mom and dad. Her dad owed some people a lot of money. Lola heard yelling and gunshots going off. One of the men that came to house, found Lola in her room playing. He took her to her parent's bedroom and hid her in their closet."
"Really," Allan said, "why did they not just take her to her father so he would give them the money?"
"Apparently, this guy didn't want to hurt her. Lola says she remembers everyone of their faces. She has never admitted it to me but, I know she remembers seeing the her parents get murder by those men," I said as I was interrupted.
"How do you know she remembers those men," Jason asked.
"That's a whole different story," I said, "Anyways, the cops didn't find Lola for day. Everyone had assumed she had been kidnapped by these men. But a few days later the cops were looking for some evidence and found her sitting in the tightest, smallest corner in her parent's closet. Every cop on duty tried to get her to come out but, she would not come out at all."
"Then what happened," Mark said on edge.
"Horatio Caine, a CSI Detective got her out of the corner," I said, "that's all I know of the story."
"What," Jason asked I disbelief, "it just stops there?"
"No one has ever adopted her," Allan asked.
"I only that much of the story. One family tried to adopt her but that didn't go so good," I said, "I told you about meeting Lola so now, it's time for cocaine deal."
"Yes, this one has to be my favorite," Mark said.
"That's bad. But after getting our sentences for getting drunk and stealing a yacht, we had to get on a bus to go to juvenile hall which was located in the jail. So, Lola and I got to ride with the convicts," I said, "some guy on the bus had talked to the someone on the outside about crashing the bus. Well, sure enough we wrecked and Lola was kidnapped by one of the guys on the bus. I tried and tried to chase after them but, they got away. So, I hid out for a few hours before I called Horatio!"
"Then what," Jason asked.
"I turned myself in to Horatio and we went to search for Lola! We found Lola hiding. She had escaped but not for long. Horatio had a plan to catch these guy. Lola said we were the bait," I said laughing as I remembered the memory, "I acted as the bad guy who caught her and took her back to the guy who kidnapped her. It turned out that, that man was the man who murdered her parents."
"Wow," Allan said, "what are the chances of that?"
"Very slim! My story was that Lola told me they were dealing with cocaine, which was true by the way. So, I wanted to help out with it. We packaged cocaine for a while. Hours later, the cops bust through every door in that warehouse."
"Is there anything you have not done," Jason asked in disbelief.
"There is a lot stuff I have not done. Lola went to the hospital because that man dropped her a couple of times on her head while I had to go to juvenile hall," I said, "after she got out of the hospital and I got out of juvenile hall a cop was going to take us back to the orphanage. But the cop was a phony!"
"Then what," Mark asked.
"The 'police officer' took us somewhere and dropped us off with these guys that helped kill her parents. They tied us up and dropped us into the sewer. By the time I got down there they had taken Lola somewhere else," I said, "the put a pillow case over my head and ducted taped it around my neck. Once we got to a certain spot, they ducted taped my wrist and ankles again. These guys that kidnapped us were very stupid. Lola and I had on ankle monitors. So the cops knew exactly were to find us since they left them on us."
"Wow, that is pretty stupid," Allan stated.
"Horatio came some odd hours later and then we searched for Lola. I thought it was too late! They had attached a chain around her neck and strung her up. She was standing on her tiptoes going in and out conciseness," I said getting kind of emotional, "it was awful. I thought she was dead. But thankfully she wasn't. Horatio called an ambulance. And she stayed in the hospital for a few days to a week and was better!"
"Wow," Mark said in stunned silence, "that is just crazy!"
"Yeah, that's what happened," I said.
