I threw myself against the door, hopping it would open. I slammed my shoulder into the wood over and over, trying to escape. It didn't work, I stopped before I popped my shoulder out of it's socket. I backed away from the door and sat down in the far left corner of the room.
There was nothing but me in the room. Not even a window. The carpet was stained, reddish brown spots litter the ground. Blood. I knew it was. I had seen it so many times before. I shuttered, thinking about who else had been in this room. I close my eyes and try to block out all the horrid thoughts.
I don't know how long I was locked in the room before the man opened the door and stomped over to me. He held a roll of duck tape in one hand. I didn't try to get away, I knew he would just catch me again. He grabbed both my writs in one meaty hand. He silently wrapped the tape around my hands. Once my hands were tied he took hold of the tape between my arms and pulls me out of the room by my arms. I screamed in pain, as my shoulders were yanked at their sockets.
"Shut up." Them man grumbled. I tried to quiet my pained yelps. He brought me out to the living room, there was another man there. He was tall, maybe as tall as me. Dark hair and dark hateful eyes. I turned away from him not wanting to know what was happening. I could feel those eyes on me.
"He looks like he's fourteen." The new man stated.
"He's twenty four or so." The man said.
"Hummm. Did you use him yet?" the new man asked. I stayed as quiet as I could, I did not want the attention of these men.
"Nah, Jake said you wanted one fresh." The man said with a small snicker.
"Very good Jeb. Let me have a look?" The new man said. Jeb nodded and let my arms go, and clunk to the floor. The new man walked over and took my chin in his hand. I pulled back, but he held firm. He turned my face and continued to stare.
"Did he cause you problems?" The new man asked pointing to the bruise.
"Just a little." Jed said. The new man brushed back my hair and I flinched.
"Do you want me to strip 'em?" Jeb asked. I caught my breath, what were they going to do?
"No, no thats fine. I think he will work out." The new man let go of my chin, I was relived. "Johnny will like him." The new man said. Jeb nodded.
"Shall we get him in the car?" Jeb asked.
"Yup." The man said steeping away from me. Jeb came back over and pulled me up into a standing position. I sway for a moment, then hold my position. Jeb stands in front of me.
"We're gonna walk out to the car okay, and you're not gonna try anything, got it." Jeb said sternly. I nodded. We walk towards the door, with the new man on my left and Jeb on my right. They open the door and take a fast look, then precede outside. We all walk fast to the car. The new man opens the door and pushes me inside, and then tells me to scoot over. He then takes a seat next to me. Jeb then gets in the front seat and turns on the car, and pulls out of the driveway.
I start to take in my surroundings, to try to figure out where I was. Nothing look familiar. It couldn't be Virginia, it was snowing last time I saw it. It was hot here, the sun beat down on the car. I must be on the West coast. It's not this hot anywhere else this time of year. We turned another corner and I could see the buildings. Las Angeles. I've been here many times, I knew my way around, now if only I could get away.
I watched the city, and I watched as we drove around it. We drove onto the freeway and further away from the city. I sunk a little in my seat.
"Johnny gonna met us there?" Jeb asked.
"Said he would." the other man said shortly. "Johnny got two more coming after him."
Jeb nodded, then shot a glance at me. He stared for a moment looking me up and down. It was like he was undressing me with his eyes. I cringed away and set my eyes out the window.
