Chapter 312
Anastasia dashed over next door as soon as she got the call. Sheâd been expecting Ashley to pull something tonight, and sure enough, she was right. She knocked on Flynnâs door, asking, âWhere are they?â
Flynn replied excitedly, âInside, Iâve got them tied up with bedsheets.â
Anastasia went in to see two guys. They were around thirty, trussed up by Flynn like a giant silkworm, practically cheek to cheek, just short of lips touching. But the kicker was, Flynn had stripped them both. Clothes and pants were tossed aside. Socks stuffed in their mouths so they couldnât make a sound.
Anastasia rubbed her eyes and gave Flynn a side glance, âAre you into this kind of thing?â
Flynn hurriedly explained, âDonât get the wrong idea. I was just worried they might have weapons on them. And itâs a bit awkward for me to search them by myself,
Soâ¦â
Anastasia cut him off, âSo you stripped them naked.â She gave him a thumbs up, âNice one.â
Now that the guys were captured, it was time for the interrogation. Anastasia sat down. They were wriggling in the sheets, making muffled sounds and trying to speak.
Anastasia was going to remove what was in their mouths. But when she noticed it was socks, she pulled her hand back. The smell was too strong.
She gestured to Flynn, âYour turn.â
Flynn chuckled, âNo problem, just tell me what to do.â Not wanting to touch the socks directly, Flynn used a tissue to remove them.
Anastasia started the questioning, âWho are you and who sent you here? If you come clean, Iâll let you go. If not, youâre off to the police.â
The two guys were beaten up pretty bad by Flynn. Having had a taste of his wrath, they decided to spill the beans. One of them blurted out, âIâm Benny, thirty-two. We were hired and weâll tell you everything. Just donât send us to the cops.â
The other guy quickly added, âIâm Clyde, thirty-one. I just got out of jail. If I go back in, Iâm done for.â
His speech was slurred, making it hard to understand.
âBonnie & Clyde?â Anastasia couldnât help but laugh at the names, âYou guys are something.â
Flynn burst out laughing, âHa-ha, Bonnie & Clyde. Thatâs hilarious. The names suit you two perfectly.â
Clyde stuttered, âNot Bonnie & Clyde, itâs Benny.â He slurred even more.
Anastasia turned to Benny, âWho sent you? What were you supposed to do?â
Benny spilled the beans without hesitation, mentioning Ashleyâs name. âAshley, that woman paid me and my brother a good sum to kidnap someone from a hotel and drop them off in a car in the back alley.â
Anastasia didnât look surprised, while Flynn was fuming, âSo it was her. Thatâs low.â
Anastasia continued, âWas there someone waiting in the alley? Then what? Where were they planning to take me? What were they going to do?â
Both shook their heads, âWe donât know.â
Ashley just told them to take her, nothing else.
Just then, a phone on the floor started ringing. Anastasia glanced at it and asked, âWhose phone is this?â
Benny replied, âItâs mine. Probably that woman is calling. Sheâs definitely nudging us.â
Anastasia picked up the phone, and said coldly, âTell her I have been taken and will be delivered shortly, got it?â
Benny nodded, somewhat dazed, âGot it.â
After making this point clear, Anastasia gave Flynn a look. He took the phone and hit record. Flynn answered the call, put it on speaker, and held it up to Bennyâs ear. Ashleyâs voice came over the phone, âIs the job done? Hurry up.â
