1 The Questions with No Answers

"Wait, where am I?" Davis asked himself as he opened his eyelids slowly, feeling the heavy headache on his right. He was hit by the site of a blue ceiling that confirmed to him that he was not at his place. This was so because he could not see his favorite poster which he had hang on his ceiling so that he could look at it whenever he woke up.

Last night must have been heavy from all the partying and drinking with friends. He had never got that drunk. The problem at this point was not where he was but how he got there.

He got up to find a young woman in the kitchen preparing something that smelled familiar. "Hey, how do I know you?" He asked in a surprised face. The lady paused her cooking, took off her earphones, and turned to him. "Ow, you're awake finally. I've been waiting for this to happen."

Davis looked very confused at that moment. "So, are you ready to tell me who you are and what you were doing in Tenei in the middle of the night?" "You mean you found me- where again?" He said this while rushing to the window. He looked even more confused. "Where am I?"

"Hey, calm down sir. You have been asleep for over 10 hours. I even thought you were dead." She went back to preparing her meal while he looked at her with no knowledge of what she was talking about. "Why don't you sit and I'll make you something. Maybe you will feel better because you seem very confused."

Not knowing what to say or do, Davis decided to sit and think. "Am I okay? Did I get hit pretty hard on the head last night at the club?" he stressed himself up with questions that had no answers. The lady then came to him with a plate of toast and a mug of coffee.

"I bet you are hungry. Eat up, then we'll talk." She told him as she laid the tray next to him. She went back to the kitchen to wash up then went to the bathroom to take a shower. He didn't want to eat. All he wanted was to find a way of getting back home.

The lady came back from the bathroom and asked Davis why he hadn't eaten anything yet. "Can you please tell me where I am? I need to head home before my father calls to quarrel with me. Wait, where's my phone?" He asked her with an authoritative voice. "You did not have a phone on you." She answered calmly.

"Okay okay, so where am I?" He asked. The lady seemed a little puzzled by that question. "You do realize that we had this conversation last night, right?" She seemed pretty confident about it and this made him even more confused. "Well, last night I had too much to drink." "You did seem drunk but had no smell of alcohol"

"Okay, then. If you can't remember, why don't we start from what you told me last night about you having nowhere else to go?" She sat next to him while asking. "Can I go, please? My father will kill me. If you can't tell me where I am, let me find a way out of here then." He started getting agitated.

He tried standing but before he could make his first step he fell on the floor. He was too weak to walk. The lady helped him back up. "I was almost calling the authorities to tell them that I had a stranger in my house that's been asleep for 10 hours and needs medical attention. I thought it wise to wait though."

"What's happening to me, why can't I walk?" He asked rhetorically with a teardrop forming in his right eye. "Well, that answer can only come from you." She answered him while heading to the fridge to grab some ice. "Let's start with what you remember. Is that okay?" She told him as she placed the ice on his knee.

"I just wanna go home okay?" His tone was very sad. "Okay, let me help you. So where is home." The lady asked him. "Some place in Theo." He felt even weaker at this point. "Can you please eat something, you are hungry." The lady begged him to try and eat. He had no choice but to agree.

He took his first bite and got back to his questions. "So we met at the club?" The lady got shocked by his question. "Wait, are you okay? You can't even remember that you met me at the airport looking worn out and asked me to take you from there because you have nowhere else to go."

This statement made him stop eating. "The airport! Which airport?" Davis was confused with the lady's answer. "Tenei airport of course. There's only one airport in Tenei." She answered as she looked at her watch. "Tenei? Where is Tenei?" he had to ask. "You've never been to Tenei before?"

"I don't know where that is. Can you please tell me where this is?" He had started getting worried. "Are you familiar with the Republic of the Southern Coast?" "No. Why?" He asked the lady as he looked out the window in perplexion. "Well, okay. That's funny to say because that's the country we are in right now."

"What are you talking about?" He thought that he was dreaming to hear her say those words. "Wait, you said we met at the airport right? Were my friends there too?" He couldn't understand whatever was happening and neither could the lady. "No one was with you last night when you came on to me."

"What did I tell you then? What is going on? Did I hit my head on something?" Davis asked the lady as he sprung back to his feet, this time with a little more energy. "Is this real? Am I in this Southern Coast country you are talking about?" Davis had to ask. He was almost crying when he asked.

Suddenly, her alarm rang. "I have to get to work and I can't leave you here, especially not like this. Get up I'll take you to the hospital so that you get checked." The lady stood and moved towards him. "Hospital? For what? I am fine. I am just having trouble understanding what you are talking about."

"I'm sorry but I have to leave and you must too. I have helped you as much as I can. Maybe you should go to the police and find out what happened to your friends." She held his hand and directed him to the door. "Can I at least call them from your phone? Just to know if they can explain to me how I got here"

She handed him her phone from her purse and told him to hurry because it was late. He called both of his friends but no one had their phone on. "Maybe they are here too and are just too wasted to have their phones on." He said this with a lot of doubt in his voice. His heart failed to hide the fear he felt inside.
