I woke groggy. I heard yelling in the background. Then gunshots. I shot up. Sadly I didn't realize my hands where tied up on a table leg. "Shel?" I crooked. I heard a muffled cry. I looked around. The sun was setting so the room had an orange glow.

"Hello!" Said a sing-song voice. I looked around and saw Steve, in his sunglasses. "Let her go..." I groaned. He laughed and went over to her. He slowly removed the tape, making it as painful as possible. I could the heat coming off me. When he was done he through the tape aside and asked, "Now where is your group hiding now?" I looked at him confused. He came and kidnapped Shel from our group, and now he ask where we are?

He saw my confusion and said, "After you came to find her they must have left." I felt a little angry but still understood why they left. And I knew exactly where they went. Steve could see that I knew and said, "Tell me!" I shook my head. This angered him so he kicked me in the gut. Shel cried and shouted, "Don't tell him anything, Vince!" Steve sneered and slapped her. I shot up again and yelled, "Don't you touch her!" Even though I was taped to the table leg I knew I almost stood up and broke the tape.

Steve saw that I was getting angry and laughed. He turned her face around to show more bruises. I was breathing hard. He was hurting her. And I couldn't do anything about it. "You remember what I said about her?" He asked. I knew he was toying with us. Why I didn't know. I shook my head. "I said she could do better." And with that he turned her face towards him and kissed her. It was probably only a few seconds but it felt like forever.

When he was done and pulled away Shel looked horrified. Steve looked please. My anger finally snapped. I jumped up like a rocket. I heard the tape rip. He had an amused smile on his face. He came strolled over to me and started to kick me. Shel was crying and Steve was laughing like a crazy man. Suddenly the girl I saw outside came in. "Steve! We need you outside!" She said. Steve looked at her a little annoyed but went outside.

But before he left he whispered in my ear, "Don't worry I'll take good care of her." And with that knocked me out again.
