Chapter 55: cries of despair

The hours were moving so quickly for BoJing and another hour had passed without him seeing his father, he was worried ever since they were brought here and he had been placed in this room alone. Before being separated his father had told him to be good and he would see him soon, but something was wrong how could he be good when each night they were torturing him. Darkness had now taken over the room in which he was placed, they had turned off the little light source he had become accustomed to, his small prison had nothing more than a bed, a clock stuck to the wall and speaker box attached high above the ceiling. BoJing hated that speaker at the dead of night it played the most horrifying piercing screams of his father that could be heard echoing deafeningly around the room and that time was fast approaching at exactly midnight.

"BOJING!.... BOJING....BOJING!!!!!!!" Kang Lei screamed over and over again.

Bojing's body started to tremble, his heart broke with every sound, what could he, what should he do. He hid his little body in a small corner of the room and crouched down with his knees close to his chest and he placed his hands on ears trying to drown out his fathers voice out but couldn't.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from BoJing's eyes, "am useless....father am sorry...am sorry" BoJing repeated over and over again rocking his body back and forth.

"BoBo sweetheart.... it's time to wake up" a familiar voice called, BoJing opened his eyes to the smiling face of his father.

"BoBo come on get up and get ready I'll make you breakfast" his father said ruffling his hair. BoJing sat up bewildered, he was at home again his father wasn't scared and crying, he could see the sky outside again, the smell of his father pheromones was permeating around the room. It was over it was only a nightmare he went and threw himself into his fathers embrace squeezing tightly hoping he will lose him again, "daddy I had a nightmare, I dreamed a man came and took us away then separated us and every at midnight they would play the sounds of you screaming my name...daddy I was so scared, promise me you'll never leave me" tears flowed down BoJing's eyes he couldn't look at his father he was ashamed he was so useless in his dream and didn't help him. "BoBo it's only a dream don't cry, look daddy is fine and I promise even in death no one will ever separate us...okay" His fathers voice was comforting he had missed this voice the one that could reassure him everything would be okay no matter the situation, in his fathers embrace he said sadly "am sorry am too useless to help you daddy, if I was bigger l could help you and save you, but am small and always depended on you...am sorry" BoJing cried harder hating himself, his Father pulled him from his embrace and place his hands on his face then looked him in deep the eyes and spoke.

"BoBo don't ever say those words again.... you are and will forever be the reason am alive, without you am nothing, my life would be meaningless, you're the only reason I find strength each day to rise, you're the only joy and sunshine in my life and if I cry for you it's because am willing to die for you.... if you're useless than what does that make me. you're made of from me and remember what you once told me, you said I am a rock strong and sturdy so therefore that makes you my little rock, we are strong together and we are strong apart" his father smiled looking loving at BoJing, soon that smile faded and his father disappeared before his very eyes, BoJing panicked "Daddy.... Daddy! Don't leave me alone please.... daddy Da..." He cried searching the room.

BoJing awoke from his sleep tears still falling from his eyes, it was all a dream his father wasn't actually with him anymore, the only voice of his father now could heard was coming from a speaker tucked away in the corner of this abandoned room. He was alone and he knew that no one would care to look for them, they had no other person in their lives apart from Grandpa Chong.

BoJing took a deep breath wiped his tears and reposition himself in an upright seated position. He continued to bravely listen to screams of his fathers with each cry piercing his heart but he refused to let another tear fall from his eyes. He had to be like his father said a rock strong and sturdy being weak was not longer an option. what he needed to do now was everything he could to get out from this place and find someone that could help just at that moment he remembered "Sir" and the image of Dominic flashed through his mind, he had to find a way to escape and get to Dominic.

Dominic awoke to find himself surrendered by darkness, he didn't recognise where he was, he was laying on the floor and all that surrounded him was darkness he saw no walls, no doors it was as if he was in a place of nothingness, "am I dead" he said to himself, touching his chest area trying to see if he was still alive. Just at that moment a whimpering sound was heard close by, Dominic quickly stood up alarmed by the sound. He walked cautiously towards the sound till he came upon a small body sat with their knees to their chest and their head tucked between their knees hugging themselves while crying.

Dominic realised it was little boy, so he bent down close to the child and touched his shoulder "hay kid... why you crying?" The boy quickly raised his head upon hearing Dominic's voice and he rushed into Dominic's arms then frantically responded "sir it's me BoJing, they.....took my father please, please help him, they won't let me see him... his screams I can't take it anymore" BoJing throw himself on the floor curled himself into a ball and covered his ears crying, "please make it stop, make it stop I beg you" BoJing cried heartbreakingly.

Dominic rushed to his side and held him in his arms comforting the him, "it's okay... I'll save him..I need you to help me okay.... look at me tell me where's the sound coming from....BoJing please... look at me tell me where's the sound coming from" he grabbed BoJing's hand away from his his ears and had the child look at him. BoJing turned his head slightly upwards looking at something in the distance, like magic a box appeared and the sound of Kang Lei screaming BoJing's name could be heard echoing all around them in all different frequencies, some they could hear close by while others sounded like a whisper.

BoJing grabbed Dominic's shirt and shouted "they're coming get out now, GET OUT!".

Dominic jumped from his sleep "BoJing!" He called out, he heart was reaching and sweat was dripping from his body. He looked around the room and realised it was a dream but it felt real something about that dream was strange. "No it wasn't just a dream it was clue, BoJing son daddy is coming just hang on I promise" he whispered before ripping the sheet of his body and picking up his phone to text Michael.
