Playing Dirty

Chapter 2

Dick slowly crept back into consciousness. Trying to make sense of surroundings Dick tried to move his wrist, realizing they are still secured behind his back. Daring to open his eyes his vision was fuzzy and the light made his head burst with pain making his shut his eyes again. Dick slowly started wiggling his toes and fingers attempting to wake up the rest of his body, when the smell of water hit his nose, not just any kind of water.

Ocean water.

Panic rushed through his waking him up and pumping adrenaline throughout his body. Dick let out a frustrated sigh, and slowly tried opening up his eyes. The light still awoke a dull pain in the back of his head but nothing to serious. Dick waited his vision to clear before making and kind of sitting up movement.

Were they at sea? Or were they somewhere on the docks? How long had he been out? Has the ransomed been made? Was Batman on his way or would Bruce play the concerned parent?

Once Dick's vision started to clearing up, taking his surroundings. He was obviously below deck what seemed to be a small yacht. Dick was sitting on bed and flat screen tv hanging on the opposite wall. There were 3 doors and by the looks of them one was a closet which was placed on the right wall, the bathroom which was to the left of the tv, and obviously the exit which was to the right of the tv. There was also a small window hanging on the left wall which might just be his escape route if the door was locked. It was a simple room with cream walls and white carpet with matching satin bed sheets, but it was still his prison cell.

Dick tugged on his ankles only to notice they were secured the end of the bed with thick ropes. Someone obviously didn't want Dick going anywhere. Just as Dick finished taking in his surrounding the door to the right of the tv creaked open revealing the woman whom was holding a bottle of water.

"Like it?" She chuckled.

Dick narrowed his eyes at her, "What do you want?" Dick asked bitterly.

"World peace or your daddy's money, but I guess you can guess which one I want more," she answered sarcastically. A small silence past between them before she continued to speak, "You obviously take to drug very well. Haven't thrown up yet, I'm guess from all the times you have been kidnapped?"

Dick rolled his eyes at her question; she obviously has done her homework on him on how many times he has been kidnapped. Too bad she doesn't know how many times Robin has been kidnapped as well. At times like this Dick wished he was Robin so he could kick her butt, but he was just Dick, he is the ward of a billionaire, who takes basic self-defense classes.

"Well unlock all the other times you've been kidnapped this one will be different. You will be with us for a couple days and if you do something stupid or say something stupid I will haul your ass out of here and tie you to the flag pole and let you become dehydrated. Understand?"

Dick just glared at her.

"Then once we get our money, you will be dropped off at a port in Hawaii where I have arranged for you to be taken care of you till Daddy comes and gets you."

She totally underestimated him, or maybe he underestimated her.

She sauntered over to Dick and opened the bottle of water; gentle raising it to his lips Dick accepted the drink. Dick turned his head to the side once he was done, letting her know she can leave.

"You know you are actual quite handsome for being 13, I bet my niece would eat you just up."

Dick's heart skipped a beat. Please don't let her be on board Dick begged.

"So do I get food?" Dick curiously asked.

She shrugged, "Maybe, depends on your behavior."

Another silence past over them until the woman stood up and glanced at the door.

Finally Dick thought all he wanted was for her to leave so he could come with an escape plan. Then figure out a way to either get off this boat or contact Bruce or the league. They probably have already noticed Robin's absences.

"I really don't know if I should stay and watch you," She admitted honestly.

"Why? Scared I will magically get out of these ropes and wire?"

She shook her head, "Some of the men on this boat just got out of jail and would do anything for a piece of a young boy like you,"

Dick gulped down on the pride he had left, being molested or raped was not something he wanted. He wouldn't be able to defend himself if one of them came after him. Dick pondered on whether or not to ask her to stay with him.

"But I think you will be okay," She said before reaching for the door handle. "I'll be back in about 2 hours to check on you," she called out as she shut the door.

Dick was now on full alert and working on a plan to get out this. Still sitting up to keep the tension of his wrist, which was still behind him, Dick used his fingers to feel how the wire was wound around him.

Thankfully it was just wrapped around his wrist a couple times then twisted the twisty on a loaf of bread. Dick began to untwist the wire while still watching the door. He needed to get off this ship before a predator came after him or worse.

After getting his hands lose and tossing the wire aside, he begun to work on freeing his ankles. Which weren't tied very well so they easily came undone freeing him completely. Dick grabbed the wire that was used on his hands and crept towards the door his heart skipping a beat when he heard a door shut that sounds like it was feet from the door he was in front of.

Sweat producing off his hands made the wire slippery in his fingers and his hands clammy. But no matter Dick had to get off this ship, going into full Robin mode he opened the door and slipped out.

Checking to make sure the coast was clear Dick stepped out and let the cold ocean air hit his skin. It was night time which meant he would have the element of darkness on his side. Dick took one step when the door diagonal from his flung open revealing a man with a devilish grin.

When he reached out to grab Dick, Dick wrapped the wire around his wrist and pulled it down and then sent a kick hitting his in his chest making the man stumble back into his room. Dick jumped into the room and closed the door and then swung his foot at the man to knock him out.

But Dick didn't expect his foot to be caught and pulled upwards making him fall on his back with a thud. The man moved to his hands and feet and slide Dick underneath him with a grin spread across his face.
