Don't Be Gentle
886 Words
I am awakened to a strong smell of ammonia under my nose, I sniff trying to get air around the horrendous smell.
“s**t!”
“Wake up Sweetheart.” It is the guy who my baby, he clearly did not get out of the accident unscathed. There is a bandage on his forehead.
I lick my lips; I am tied to a chair with my hands behind me. My shoulders are burning, so evidently, I have been here for a while.
My throat is on fire, “Water…please.”
“Negative sweetheart. This is not a friendly situation, you will be dead shortly, so your thirst is irrelevant.”
“Yippy.”
“I am just impressed. I cannot believe Kendrick got you.” I am still holding my head down, but my ears perk up at the coward’s name.
“After watching you for so many years and waiting to buy you, just to have you slip through our hands like that s**t was tragic. But Kendrick found you and got you.”
“Stop talking in f*****g riddles.” He punches me so hard my chair falls over.
“May want to watch your mouth b***h I have a temper.” I lean my head to the side.
“Yes sir. You were saying?”
“As I said before I was rudely interrupted.” He walks over and picks up my chair, the shift made my coat shift and I felt my blade in my back pocket. f*****g i***t did not check me.
“You used to sashay around the club in your baby doll uniform. Kendrick’s dad use to make us stay in the back near the coat closet so your dad would not say anything.” I stopped fidgeting; my breath caught in my throat.
“His dad was assigned to table 3 seat 24.”. He stared at me with a smirk, waiting to see if recognition would set.
“Judge Walt Jones, double shot of Grand Marnier.” It came out as a whisper.
“Bingo, little Ho. Kendrick used his mother’s maiden so you would not catch on. His dad promised you to him and had a deal with your father. See,” He kneeled down and got really close to me like we were about to share a secret.
“Just like you are a little w***e, so was your mom. She got knocked up by your dad’s brother, but he could not harm your mom or you. He knew that his brother would kills him a thousand different ways, so instead he took you both away and moved here and just ran that part of the business for his brother. Well actually, I do not even know if he knows you exist.” He got up and walked to a table full of blades and torture items.
“I thought Kendrick was just going to play with you and discard you, then he up and married you. I figured he was going to use you as a bargaining tool for your real dad. But since the kids are not his I guess that is a no go now. So now you all are just my toys.” He picks up a blade and runs his finger along it, it is so sharp that it draws blood instantly.
“I can not wait to play with those twins.” I feel nothing, no fear, no panic, just emptiness. I look to the side and I see….. me sitting in a chair smiling from ear to ear. She places a finger to her lips telling me to be quiet, then there is a knock on the door.
“Got damn.” Psycho peeks out the window and opens the door.
“What the f**k are you doing here!” In walks Kendrick. He looks at me and pulls psycho in another room.
I instantly start to twist my wrist to get out of the ropes.
That is right, get your wrist lose, then let me in so I can play and get us out of this.
I pause and look up.
No, I will not sit back and let you take over
Lizzi drops her and frown
If you do not, then we will die, but I understand if you do not trust me. I must respect that.
I will not let you do it alone this time Lizzi, I am no longer sitting back again, and I am no longer locking you up; ever. We are doing this together.
Fun Times?
Fun Times….
Minutes later Kendrick and Psycho came back in, “Beth, I really want you to know that this really is not anything personal it is just business baby. Wallace here is going to make your death look like a home invasion and then I am going to claim the insurance money.”
“What about my babies Ken, please do not hurt my babies. They are innocent in all of this.” He takes a deep breath.
“I really do love them Beth, I cannot believe you betrayed me. I did not want to hurt them, but it must be done. It will not be anytime soon, but they will take their own lives later own when they succumb to the grief of losing their mother.” We saw red, my blood boiled at hearing this man speak that way towards my babies. Kill me but touch a hair on my children I will end you. I was almost out of the ropes.
“Wallace I am headed to the club, phone me when it is done.” He was almost out of the door, he turned and looked me in the eyes, “And Wallace.”
“Yea Boss”.
“Do not be gentle.”
