Nancy's POV
I woke up in a groggy state from the chloroform but not enough to hear voices and rock music playing. I tried to cry out, but it came out as a mumble. My eyes slowly adjusted, I tried to sit up but failed. I saw my hands and feet were bound with rope. The rope was already cutting into my skin, making it raw. I looked around to realize I'm in the back of a van, on the metal floor. I tried to yell, but it came out muffled. I have a gag in my mouth too, wonderful.
Great, I get kidnapped when we just got here. Leave it up to me for that to happen on the first day of this vacation. Way to go Drew, real smooth.
"Dude, boss is going to be mad. We're late, hurry up! Drive faster!" I glanced up at the seats to hear one of the guys say this loudly over the music.
"I'm working on it! I'll drive faster, turn that down a notch!" The driver yelled.
I glanced down at myself, realizing I'm still wearing my red bikini. I'm covered with sand and I have a few scratches on my legs. I'm still wondering why they would kidnap me. I'm not on a case. What could they possibly want with me?
Sure enough, like the driver promised, he did drive faster. I was slung to the both walls of the van when we would go around a curve too fast. The tires squealed. I winced as I hit my head against the floor hard. That's probably going to be a nasty bump.
"What the hell was that noise?" The driver exclaimed.
"Probably the girl getting tossed back there like a sack of potatoes. Makes sense you're going 20 miles past the speed limit, which is 65." The passenger snorted.
"You told me to go faster! And turned down that rock music!" The driver yelled.
"Fine." The passenger grumbled as he turns down the rock music to a lower volume.
I kept trying to yell, but came out as little whines. Unfortunately, the music was low enough for them to hear me.
"How is she awake?" The driver exclaimed.
"How am I suppose to know, huh?" The passenger replied.
"Well, go back there and shut her up! She's giving me a headache even with the gag in her mouth." The driver ordered.
Oh no, he's coming back here. I watched as he climbed over the seat and came towards me. Sadly, I couldn't see his face because of a mask. The mask covered his face but not his eyes or mouth. He slowly smirked at me, he was holding a bottle of chloroform. Suddenly the van turned sharply, he was thrown onto the floor.
"What the hell Red?" The guy screeches at the driver. I heard a chuckle before the guy got back up again.
"You're hotter in person, baby. Boss is really going to love you." The guy advanced toward me and grabs my shoulder roughly.
I squirmed underneath his grasp. I kicked and thrashed, succeeding too. I kicked the guy in the shin with my bound legs.
"You really messed up, baby!" He roared before slapping me across the cheek.
The slap stung my cheek. It was very hard. My heart starting beating faster as he got the chloroform ready. He climbed on top of me, holding me down with his weight. I struggled but failed. His gloved hand put a napkin with chloroform on my nose. I slipped into darkness as the world faded away in a foggy vision.
Suddenly someone grabbed me and carried me in their arms. I'm unconscious but I can't see. Blindfolded. I strained to hear where we're at. The place was silent, but I think I hear sea gulls. I heard the ding of a elevator. Then footsteps approached us as we get off of the elevator. I was thrown to the ground, I cringed as I hit the floor.
"Take off her blind fold." I could tell whoever said this, his voice was muffled and disguised some how.
"You sure boss?" I think Red said.
It was silent then I felt the blind fold being ripped off my head. I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the lighting. I saw a tall guy dressed in all back with a red cape. He also had a mask on. I only saw his eyes. I tensed as he began walking towards me in a quick stride. I assume he's the boss.
I flinched as he touched my chin. The boss searched me from head to toe. I squirmed underneath his blue eyes searching me. I was about to kick him, but the other guy stopped me quickly. He grabbed me by the hair roughly.
"Try that move again, you'll be sorry if you do." He roughly whispered in my ear then released my hair. I cried out, but it was still muffled.
"Breathtaking girl, really. Why is she wearing a bikini?" The boss asked harshly.
"Um, because you told us that we will find her at the Miami beach sir." Red answered fearfully.
"Idiots! Wrong girl! Yes, she looks similar, they're different people though. Also, she's not involved in any kind of law enforcement!" The boss roared. "Wrong girl. Dump her somewhere far away from where you've found her, now!"
Frank's POV
I began to worry as we searched everywhere with no traces. We asked everyone around here and looked everywhere.
"Frank! Come here." Joe yelled just a few feet away from me.
I came over to Joe to see him pointing to tire tracks. Van tracks to be exact, I've seen these kind of tires so many times in my life. This could have been what they got Nancy in. It has to be, it's the only thing we got.
"Joe, call Bess or find her. Give me keys to the rental, I have an idea." I said determinedly.
Joe tossed me the keys. "Where are you going?"
"To find Nancy." I replied seriously.
I ran to the red rental car and quickly started the engine. I drove to where we saw the tire tracks going onto the road. I slowly drove on the road which caused cars to honk at me from behind. I saw more tires tracks, where the tires squealed around each curve. Causing black tracks on the gray road. Let's hope these tracks leads to Nancy. It better.
Nancy's POV
I woke up in the sand. Still bound and gagged of course. I felt the ocean waves splash my thighs. The tide was coming in. I rolled away from the ocean, far enough from the tide. I searched with my eyes for a rock to cut these ropes. Unfortunately, I was still out of it from all the chloroform they gave me. I was very weak, barely moving. Moving at a slow rate, I grabbed a rock the best I could with my bound hands . I slowly worked on the ropes around my wrists.
After forever, the ropes snapped. I sighed with relief, I was about to remove my gag but was stopped. I felt even weaker, since I used the remanding energy on the ropes. I went unconscious again.
Frank's POV
"There we go, this must be the place." I said out loud as I stopped at a unsteady, old, tall building.
Unfortunately, there was no van in sight. I sighed as I got out of the van. I looked around the place. It's close to a private beach. Something caught my eye, more tire tracks leading in an opposite direction. I couldn't be sure she's not in the building, but I'm leaning towards the van. This place must have just been a stop. Hopefully. I climbed back into the rental.
Suddenly a white van speeds up and makes a screeching halt in front of the building. I ducked quickly to avoid being seen. I heard the doors slam.
"Who's car is that?" One guy asked. This guy sounded young.
"I don't know, boss probably hired another person to work for him." The other guy answered. This guy had a rough, deep voice.
"A shame we had to dump that red head." The younger guy commented.
"Yeah, our own mess up. Maybe we can get her back later..." The older guy suggested.
I clenched my jaw angrily as I listened to them. I want to knock them both to the ground, but then I wouldn't be able to save Nancy. I took a deep breath to calm myself. No need to start trouble. I waited for ten minutes. Hearing no voices, I got back up. I started the engine and head in the direction where the van came from.
I tapped my fingers against the steering wheel impatiently as I continued. Nothing so far. Suddenly, I saw something. I slammed on the brakes and pulled onto the side of the road quickly. I hurried out and looked down at drag marks in the sand. Something simmered in the sun. A necklace, Nancy's to be exact. It's the heart shaped one I gave her for her birthday last year.
I grabbed it and ran over the sand dunes quickly.I skidded down the last one as I saw Nancy's non-moving body on the shore. My heart was in my throat as I approached her. There were a few scratches on her legs. And what looks like a head injury. Blood was running down her forehead from her wound. I shake her shoulder desperately, noticing the gag and the bound feet. But her arms were free, the ropes were off to the side. I pulled off her gag and untied her feet. I heard a mumble.
I looked up sharply. I ran to her head. "Nancy? You there?" I asked frantically.
Nancy gave me a little smile as she flutter open her crystal blue eyes. "Frank...too much...chloroform." Nancy muttered before closing her eyes again.
Not good at all, not good. I have to get her to the hospital and quick. Or she can die any minute. And that can not happen on my watch. I picked her up quickly in a bridal style. I dashed to the car the best I could. I quickly placed her in the backseat. Speeding to the hospital, all I could think of was how I am so going to beat those guys up if I ever see them again.
