Jughead
It was nice seeing everyone despite how worried they all looked. When he had finally gotten his message through he knew it wouldn't take long for Edgar to notice. Yet he wasn't prepared for what happened next. The man behind the camera phone ended the call and moved to stand by the door. A hand latched onto his bad hand and he cried out as it held on tight. Edgar leaned over him staring at what was written. "Clever Mr.Jones very clever. I hope you feel that clever when you meet my partners." Jugheads heart dropped. He had multiple partners. This was bad. Jughead was brought from his thoughts when Edgar addressed the man by the door. "Will you go and fetch some chains and our very special guests please." The man on replied with a nod before exiting the room. Jughead watched him go wanting so badly to have the strength to run again. With the drugs in his veins and his legs he wouldn't make it far. It felt like ages of awkward silence before the door opened again. The man from before reemerged along with a length of chain. Which he handed to Edgar, then two silhouettes entered. It took Jugheads drug addle, concussion confused brain to register who stood before him. On the left was Penny Peabody former snake charmer as hateful as ever. Standing on her right was the drug dealer turned kidnapper Kurtz. Jughead wanted to scream but neither the drugs nor his vocal cords would allow him. Edgar moved to stand between them and smiled down at him. "Well Ms.Peabody I got him here for you, and he has been rather naughty. Trying to escape and even dropped hints to his friends. How would you like to punish him?"
"String him up." Is all she says in response and immediately the man by the door and Edgar move toward him. Edgar loops the chain around his shackles and they both lift him up toward the ceiling. He hears a click which can only be the chains coming to rest on a hidden hook. He was now barely on his tip toes and his body screamed. His breathing quickened as his mind began to panic without him giving it consent. He watched as Penny Peabody walked over to the table and pulled the sheet off. There resting on the table was an assortment of torture devices. He knew they were more than likely for him. She hovered her hand over all of them before she rested her hand on a whip. Jughead tried to focus but his mind was cloudy and he couldn't get a grip. He opened his mouth to protest and a wisp of his words came out. "Put the thing on him just in case." She said before grabbing something else off the table and holding it out to Edgar. He grabbed it and approached Jughead. He wrapped a formed leather piece around his bottom jaw and over his mouth so it rested just under his nose. Then he moved behind him and tightened what had to be straps around thd back of his head. Jughead tried with all his might to move his mouth but it wouldn't budge. Pennys laugh sent chills down his spine as she began to circle him like a predator with prey. "You may leave us, he can't do anything." She says and the three men in the room head out the door immediately. Kurtz takes second to turn and wink at Jughead. He would have responded with a snid remark if so many things weren't keeping him from doing so. "I know I already got my pound of flesh" Penny begins as she circles around to stand behind him. His arms were on fire but it wasn't compared to the agony of his legs. If the drugs and concussion didn't knock him out the pain would. He could hear Penny behind him sighing delight
He feels her lean in and her hot breath on his ear as she says "but I want another."
