Kai figured he must have blacked out during his 'lesson' with Tox, Chamille, and Pythor because when he woke up he was back in the cell with the TV again. His hands were still cuffed, but his legs were free and he wasn't gagged or blindfolded. It took him a moment to register where he was and remember what happened. He felt like crying when he remembered how broken Tox and Chamille looked. Last he had seen them they were a pair of strong, stubborn women who took no shit from anyone.
But when Kai saw them, they were nothing like they used to be.
He could see it in their eyes. They were now hollow, empty shells of themselves, and Kai wondered if they would ever be able to put the pieces of their lives back together. Kai didn't even know if he could fix his life if by some miracle he got out of here. Kai's hands shifted closer to his stomach, almost cradling it. He glanced down to his still flat stomach. To somebody who was seeing it for the first time, it looked entirely unremarkable. A little muscular, but to his eyes, he was just able to see the small curve in it.
He had never thought about having children.
Not until he was pregnant that is. He did love kids of all ages, but he didn't want Morro's brat. He heard most babies looked like their fathers and if the baby did look like Morro, Kai knew he wouldn't be able to look at it without thinking about the monster who raped him. If he did escape this hell hole, he was planning on booking into an abortion clinic as soon as possible. Sighing heavily, he didn't get up from his spot on the floor. He just sat there and waited for anything to happen, mainly a rescue mission.
He was in no hurry to get kicked back into the lessons with Iron Baron and his men.
It got boring after about five minutes, maybe less. Kai was not too good with boredom. He was not sure how much time has passed when he gave in, getting to his feet. If he was quiet, maybe he could do some kind of exercise. Anything to pass the time. He looked at his cuffed hands and wondered what exercises he could do. A sigh escaped him, he decided to start with lunges. As long as he stayed quiet, it would be fine. Unfortunately, it seemed he was bad at being quiet, but much to his surprise, he was not dragged out into another lesson or punishment.
Even though the guards have noticed that he was up, they just left him alone.
So Kai just continued his small exercises and tried to ignore the growing feeling of dread growing in his gut. He wanted to know what Iron a few minutes of laying on the ground and staring at the ceiling, the lock clicked and the cell door opened. Kai looked up and was shocked to see Chen standing in front of the still-open door leading out into a seemingly empty hallway. The man looked murderous as he glared down at the brunette. Kai took a step back and prepared to slam him to the ground and run out, but he spoke before he got the chance.
"We have Skylor." He informed him and just like that, all the fight goes out of him. His breath caught and his eyes grew wide as he processed what Chen said.
"Wha- What?" His voice choked out, and while he would normally be upset with himself for it, at the moment he couldn't care less. He couldn't understand how Chen and his thugs had gotten to her. She was supposed to be protected. Protected by Lloyd. The one who hated him and outright said that he only was working with him because he could help them take down Morro. But now that he was captured by Chen and given to Iron Baron, the agent didn't have a reason to help him.
Kai should have thought this through more.
"We have Skylor," Chen repeated, his face growing red with anger. "And since she's so adamant of betraying me and bringing my empire to the ground that little bitch is now buried 6ft under the ground."
"Chen, you're her father!" The brunette screeched at him in shock, unable to comprehend the thought of a parent killing their child.
"She was once very loyal to me, being willing to work in my club and making me that sweet money." He hummed out loud in thought. "I cared for Skylor since that selfish whore of her mother killed herself and when I found out you were underaged, I allowed you to stay at my club at her request when I saw that she liked you."
"You forced her to work at that club!" Kai snarled, but Chen carried on as if he hadn't said anything.
"However, I mostly regarded Skylor as a pawn, she was one of my best workers, besides you that is, now, thanks to you, I've lost both my best workers!" He shouted and backhanded the brunette across the face. "We haven't found your precious little sister yet, but trust me, when we do she'll either be here with you or sharing a hole with that red-headed slut." He cackled as he walked out of the cell and locked the door behind him.
"YOU KEEP THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" Kai bellowed as he banged against the door, but Chen was already gone...
So as it turned out, Kai didn't have an immediate plan of action for escaping this hellish nightmare. After Chen had told him Skylor was dead, Kai felt like crying and shouting and killing the first person he saw at the same time. He knew they were looking for Nya and he hoped that the Ninja had at least kept her safe, even if they had let his best friend down. But that might not be for much longer. Since he now knew that there was a very high chance that Nya was in danger he started trying to come up with a plan to get out of here.
If he wanted to get out of here he had to be careful and while careful had never been his strong suit, he had found himself acting at a level of caution he didn't even know he was capable of.
Because for Nya, he would do anything. Even take part in Iron Baron's disgusting lessons and that's exactly what he did. Every time he had to perform those filthy sex acts or let those thugs touch his body, Kai felt like crying and throwing up at the same time, but he learned how to let his mind drift from the events, even if his traitorous body reacted to the unwanted pleasure. It made him sick. He was being tortured and forced to fuck people for a crowd's amusement.
It was absolutely disgusting.
He didn't know how people enjoyed raping people and causing suffering. Every night when he went to sleep, he couldn't help but think back at all of the filth on his body. All he wanted to do was take a quick nap. With all the tossing and turning and regret, he found himself losing more and more of his resting time. It had been causing him to slip up. Just yesterday, he almost begged them for mercy. It was sheer luck that Kai was able to gather his thoughts before he said something he knew he would regret.
He knew that he gave in for even a moment they would see him breaking a little more and more every time and increase their attempts to permanently destroy him.
He was tired, so tired, and not just physically. All of this pain and torture and pleasure was beginning to wear on him mentally. He was not sure how much longer he could last. But he couldn't give in now. He had to hold out, for Nya's sake. He couldn't let her get hurt, especially not because of him making a stupid mistake as falling for Chen's trap. He should have known that picture was faked, but he was so desperate that he didn't think about that.
Because of his carelessness, Skylor had gotten killed.
With that determined thought, Kai shifted his position a little more and tried to get some rest. He knew he had another long day tomorrow...
Kai sighed, nursing his aching jaw. Iron Baron had had him giving over a dozen blowjobs to his men with three other of Iron Baron's prisoners while he had a vibrator in his ass on a low setting. Enough to get him hard, but not enough to reach his limit. According to the others, he had been here for about three and a half weeks, possibly a month. Chen still hadn't said anything else about Nya. That meant that if he hadn't found her yet, he likely had some kind of elaborate plan that Kai was too distracted to understand.
He didn't have time to be worrying about plans.
He was too busy worrying about surviving in this place. Seriously, even he had limits. He didn't know how long was this going to go on. He was scared at how long they expected him to keep this up. He couldn't go on forever. Sooner or later, he was going to lose it, and it was anyone's guess as to what it would be first. His sanity or whatever dignity he had left. After everything he has been through with these monsters, it was a miracle he still has the former.
He sat there for a few more minutes, staring at the wall.
He was sure there a study saying that it only takes a few days without socialization to drive someone insane. Time dragged on, and on, and on. He was just stuck, alone in a tiny little cement cell, with nothing to do but stare at the walls. He could also stare at the floor, but that was not much more entertaining. Kai groaned, leaning back against the wall. He had been sitting so long that his legs had started to ache, but the same thing happened when he tried standing, and he was not just going to lay on the floor.
This was hell.
If he went to hell, this was what it would be. He was just be stuck in a little box with his sister in danger, his best friend dead, and a parasite growing inside him. He knew the longer he was here, the shorter the time he had to get an abortion. He didn't know the exact number of weeks, but he knew that after a few weeks he legally wouldn't be allowed to abort Morro's baby. Soon he would be trapped with a rapist's baby and no doubt be forced to marry said rapist after they'd turned him into a mindless cock whore.
There was literally no way that this could be worse.
Try as he might, the brunette couldn't make himself fall asleep. He was sure it was late, but he just couldn't make himself sleep. His throat was as scratchy and dry as sandpaper, his stomach ached with morning sickness or the lack of food, and he could almost feel the life draining from him. It was kind of hard to sleep if you were unsure if you would ever wake up. He knew Morro wouldn't actually let him die, but that thought alone made him wish for death to take him, regardless of his sister or the baby growing inside him.
Suddenly there was a loud thud outside the cell, and Kai looked up drearily.
He had no idea what was going on out there, probably one of the prisoners trying to escape again. The door opened, and the brunette frowned as he recognized the person standing there.
"C-Cole?" He called out. His voice was so weak and scratchy that he barely registered that it was his own.
"Come with me, quietly." The agent ordered in a harsh whisper.
"What about Skylor? Are you gonna let me die as you did with her?" Kai demanded weakly, struggling to get to his feet. Cole gave him a puzzled look.
"What do you mean we let her die? She's been with us the whole time; how do you think we found you?" He asked as he helped Kai to his feet. After the red-haired woman had escaped the forest, she had run straight to Kai's apartment and was shocked and scared at the sight of CIA agents all over the place, looking for evidence. Before she could leave, Jay had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and recognized her as Chen's daughter and Kai's best friend.
Jay had been quick to reassure her that she was safe and had taken her back to their secret base.
There she told them everything, including the emails that she had seen between and Chen and Iron Baron that told her the address of the human trafficker's den. Kai's tired and confused mind struggled to comprehend what Cole had just told him until it finally hit him. Chen had lied and Skylor was still alive.
"Chen's a lying, shitty bastard," Kai grumbled, leaning against the wall. The world spun around him, and he almost fell even with the added support from Cole.
"What happened to you?" The noirette questioned as Kai struggled to stay on his feet. He tried to take a step forward, but started falling, crumbling towards the ground. Before he landed on his face, however, he found himself being supported in Cole's strong arms. That shouldn't be as hot as it was, but at that moment Kai didn't care. The agent stumbled a little, a quiet curse muttered under his breath.
"I'm not going to be able to carry you, I kind of got shot recently." He admitted with sympathetic eyes. Kai nodded in understanding as he struggled to hold himself up, pulling himself out of the noirette's arms in order to stand on his own. Cole glanced at him warily, but when he was sure Kai wasn't going to faint, he led the pregnant brunette out of the cell. The two of them made their way through the maze of tunnels. Kai was shocked to find the place completely overrun by CIA agents and police officers.
Many of the thugs were handcuffed and forced either against the wall or the floor and Kai felt satisfaction at them getting a taste of their own medicine.
All the other cells were open and many of the female agents were helping the terrified victims out. Kai couldn't see Tox or Chamille, however. Pythor must still have them locked away somewhere. Thankfully, with all the police and agents making their way up and down the halls, Kai and Cole could figure out which direction to go without winding up at a dead end. It was slow going. Kai was barely able to stay on his feet, and the agent beside him was still limping from getting shot in the leg.
The world was still swirling and shaking.
The brunette had to rely on Cole to keep steadying him so that he didn't end up falling to the cold ground. When they did eventually made it out into glorious freedom, Kai saw dozens of police cars, S.W.A.T teams, police vans, and ambulances surrounding the giant warehouse-like building. Kai was carefully lifted into a gurney and taken into the back of a waiting ambulance. Cole climbed into the back of the ambulance with him and soon they were driving away from that disgusting place.
While the paramedics checked over his vitals, he drank about three bottles before Cole cut him off, telling him that it was unsafe to drink so much at once.
Kai reluctantly agreed and the paramedics asked if they could give him a sedative to help him relax. At first, he wanted to say no, but he soon realized that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep without it. He reluctantly agreed and while the paramedic gave him the injection Cole held his hand and reassured him everything would be alright and as he drifted off into a dreamless sleep, Kai actually believed him for the first time...
