Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'm here now and I'm going to finish this story! It should wrap up within 2 or 3 more chapters. Here is Chapter 10!
Zachary paced the floor as Zora sat there tied up. Her face was bloody and her clothes were stained with the Crimson substance. She was woozy and begged for the blackout bliss but he wouldn't allow it. Every time she would pass out from the torture he would use smelling salts to wake her up and forcefully interrogate her. She had the answers he needed but she was determined to keep them secret long enough for someone to hopefully find her. Her determination was slowly depleting due to the blows to her stomach and slaps to her face. He wouldn't kill her without finding out the answers he was looking for but she worried that he would kill her after he found them out. She prayed for someone to find her soon. Zachary walked to Zora and grabbed her face
"Zora. Tell me where the files are." He said angrily. She looked at him and spoke softly
"You might as well kill me because I am not telling you where those files are." She said. He yelled and slapped her across her face causing her sight to become temporarily blurry. He walked out of the room and left her all alone. She tried to look around and check her surroundings but she couldn't see anything. Either it was nighttime or they were in a dark place with no windows like a basement. She struggled against her restraints but had no such like getting free. She cursed under her breath at the lack of freedom. Why did she have to get mixed up in the middle of this? Why did Eloise have to drag her into this mess. Sure she wanted everyone to know the truth but she didn't want to die or have Zachary kill people for the truth. Zachary walked back in a bit calmer now. Zora looked up at him with pleading him
"Zachary. Why are you doing this? Why did you kill Eloise?" She said with her voice cracking. He ran his fingers through his hair and spoke
"You don't understand Zora. They all lied to me. They've hurt people for years. My so called parents got everying they deserved." He said breathless. Zora looked at him with wide eyes
"But Eloise didn't do anything to you!" She said. He laughed
"Her. She stood in the way of my plan. She took the files from me and hid it. She needed to go anyways. I hated her so much so this was the perfect opportunity to get rid of her. Now all I need are the files and my plan will be complete." He said. She looked at him with confusion and anger in her eyes
"Do you think you're going to survive this? 3 counts of Murder and a kidnapping. You'll go to prison if you're lucky for that even." She said. He laughed once more.
"Oh my dear Zora. That's where you are wrong. Once you tell me where the files are then I will send it to the FBI and start my new life in Germany. I can expose the horrible doctors who are in on this and get away with murder. Now, you are going to tell me where the files are. I know Eloise brought it to you and made you hide it." He said. She rolled her eyes at him
"Are you insane!? You killed your parents and your sister. There isn't a shot in hell that I'm going to tell you where the flies are. I will die with this secret. There is nothing you can do to make me talk." She said. He gave her a menising smile and laughed lightly
"That's where you're wrong." He pulled out a tray of surgical instruments. He took duct tape and put a strip over her mouth. She began squirming as he grabbed a scalpel.
"Now, let's begin." He said smiling
Castle sat at one of the desks going through everything from the Monroe's life. He rummaged through old bills and hospital notices. He came across a picture of Eloise from when she was 6. It must have gotten thrown in the box by accident. He studied the picture; the little girl was standing there with a wide smile, some teeth missing. She had flowing brown hair and blue eyes. The twins resembled Castle a lot from their hair to their eyes to their smile. He couldn't believe he had two more children, one of which was dead and the other kidnapped. His eyes started to water. He started breathing heavy. He was hyperventilating. He sprang up and ran into an interview room. Kate noticed this and ran after him. She found him pacing the room with his hands over his eyes. She walked up to him and put her hands on his arms in an effort to calm him down. He put his hands down to reviele that he was crying; eyes bloodshot red and tears streaming down his face. She wiped the tears away with her thumb and pulled him into an embrace. She soothed him by rubbing his back and whispering to him. He hugged her back and spoke
"Kate. I can't lose her. I can't lose another child. I will die if we find her dead." She nodded and spoke
"Rick. We will find her and bring her home safe. I promise you." She said with soothing words. He nodded back and continued to hug her. He stopped crying and released from her embrace. She wiped the last set of tears from his eyes and spoke
"I promise you. We will find her." She said. He smiled and kissed her softly. Just the there was a knock on the door. It was Esposito
"Guys, I think we found something."
Okay guys! Here is Chapter 10! I hope I can get this story updated more and ended soon! You guys have waited long enough! See ya on the flipside guys! -J.A.
