I was drugged.
Not with the good kind either.
Damn where did they find this thing?
Idiots-r-us??
As of this moment, I can feel everything, I can see everything, and I can even hear everything; I just can't move.
Or speak.
Or apparently open my eyes.
Other than that, I'm pretty aware of what's going on because of this weird 'talent' I posses where I can make out my surroundings only from the atmosphere of the air.
In here, I could feel some form of pressure along with the sound of moving air; which meant we were in a car. I can also hear the honking of cars and the weird sound of exhausts. Yup, we're definitely in a car, driving on the highway too!
I could also feel my hands tied in front of me with a handcuff; and it doesn't even hurt.
"What are we supposed to do now?" I hear one of them ask.
"We're supposed to listen to what the mister said and bring her to him."
"What do you think he's going to do to her?"
"I don't know. It's way above my pay grade. Besides why do we care? He said he'll pay us half a million dineros if we get her to him alive. We seem to be doing a pretty good job so let's just focus on that."
"What if he doesn't pay us though? What if he burns us. When we deliver her to him like we were ordered, he takes a gun and shoots us. Ever thought about that?"
"Seriously kid, you watch way too much crime drama, like damn hermano. Chilax! We didn't hurt her so there's no need to get all crazy mamacita on me!"
"Maybe signing up for this wasn't such a good idea...."
"Can you please - for the love of all that is holy - please shut up! We are taking her there, getting our money, and we'll be on our first plane to la la land. Heck we could even go to Narnia if you want. Just, please, keep that yapper of yours shut so we don't fall into a deep crap hole that we won't be able to dig our way from."
"I'm just saying...."
"Oh dios mio!
"Jeeez fine ok! I'll shut up! Your funeral not mine. Oh wait. It's both our funerals if this goes sideways."
"When have we ever gone sideways man? As long as I got you, I won't let anything happen to you okay?"
He never answered him. Maybe they shared a look or something, but nothing verbal.
It felt like a whole century passed without anyone saying anything. For some reason, I felt like I was going to throw up and my head started feeling dizzy but that was pushed aside when I felt something.
I felt the whole car physically shake due to the vibration of someone's phone. I hope it isn't mine or I'm definitely toast. I could still somehow feel the pressure of my phone in my pocket, which is great!!
My brain was starting to hurt me so much that every single heartbeat echoed in my head and caused the throbbing to worsen. Now, with my senses heightened and this vibration apparently increasing, it keeps on getting worse. Like someone is sawing my skull in half.
I seriously need to have a talk with whoever made this drug because the side effects in contrast to what it actually does are just horrible. If I'm drugged, I'm not supposed to be hearing everything going around me in such great detail!
"Aren't you going to pick that up?"
"I will. I just need a minute to collect myself."
"Collect yours..- pick up that phone right now before you get us both killed!"
Sighing, he picked up the phone, took a deep breath and answered.
"He-hello?" He said, his voice clearly shaking. Who were they so afraid of anyways?
"Yes sir. We have her. Yes.. yes. We're going to be there. Yes. Yes. Ok. No, I don't think anyone suspects anything. No. Ok. Ok. Bye."
"What did he say?"
"Do you want the filtered PG version or the R rated one?"
His colleague chuckled.
"Just the gist of it."
"He was basically asking if we got the kid and whether or not someone suspected anything. I assured him that everything was fine. Yup that was all."
I heard one of them sigh.
"Is everything ok?"
"I feel bad for this little girl. If he has something with her family why is he taking it our on her? It's just that... I don't know man. Her face and age and height. She just reminds me of...."
"Bianca. I know. This is the last time we'll do any of that. I promise you Jesse. With the money he'll give us, we can disappear anywhere and we will leave this all behind us okay?"
"No more kidnappings and extortion? No more of that life Joel?"
"No more."
"How can you be so sure?
"Trust me on this one okay?"
"Yeah. Sure. Okay."
No one said anything for a very long time, instead they turned on the radio and music of all genres blasted through the speakers that were right over my throbbing head.
This was gonna be a long and painful ride. I still need to figure out what the hell is going on! Why is it always me that keeps getting targeted and who exactly wants me dead? Could it be that uncle? But why? Family is supposed to be a strong bond, not all about money and who gets how much.
Did my friends notice I'm gone? Is Jaycee okay? I can't die without seeing him first! What about Jace? And my parents? Oh God did something happen to them as well?? I never heard anything from them. Oh my God, please don't let anything happen to them! They don't deserve it.
I started hyperventilating and my heart rate started skyrocketing and for some reason I was shivering. I guess one of them noticed and put a blanket over me, gently caressing my cheeks.
Get your nasty lil hands off me you good for nothing, girl kidnapping-then-later-regretting-it monster!!
Damn I need to calm down and think of a way out of this mess! But how? I don't even know where they're taking me! Why does my life have to be like this? Bullying at school. Attempted murder. TWICE. And now kidnapping. This can't be the all because of my parent's money. Whoever is doing this have a very strong reason and a very hateful heart.
My head started spinning in its place again and I could almost swear I felt bile rise to my throat. I kept drifting in and out of consciousness, the late effects of this super cheap do-it-yourself drug finally kicking in.
I don't know how long I was unconscious or even how long this whole ride took, but judging from our stop now, I think that this is our final destination.
My suspicions were confirmed when one of them slung me over his shoulder like a sac of potatoes. At this point, the drug- if you could call it that- completely wore off and I could actually move. Not that I was going to attempt it or anything.
I was carried to a small bedroom where they handcuffed me to the side of the bed. Well, if I'm going to die here, at least it'll be in a comfy bed.
The man gently put me on the bed and even covered me with a blanket, muttering something along the lines of "sorry little girl".
A few minutes after he left- after also taking my phone with him- I finally decided to open my eyes. The room I was in is pretty average, with a huge bed right in the middle of it. There were two windows that were sealed with deadbolts, a small closet that was basically doorless, a TV on the opposite wall facing the bed, and a small study desk. The door to the room also faced the bed, which meant I would be seeing the person who comes here first.
What I didn't know, though, is that it was going to be so soon.
I sat up to further inspect the room, but the sound of the door unlocking got my heart racing and turned my mouth dry.
Click.
Click.
Click.
How many locks does a person need damn!
As the door knob started turning, I hid my face on my knees.
I felt the person enter without closing the door. I could feel every hair on my neck stand up when he spoke.
"Well hello there princess."
My head shot up and I was face to face with the last person I ever expected to see standing in front of me.
"Oh. My. God! It's YOU!"
Aaaaaand I'm back!!!!
