Naia's POV
"Where did they take Lily?" Megan asked for about the twentieth time. I was tired and starting to become impatient but I bit the inside of my cheek and repeated what I had said all the other times Megan had asked.
"I don't know, Megan, I don't know," I sighed and laid my head down against the floor, "Go to sleep, okay?"
"Okay," Megan's voice was sad which made me feel guilty.
I rolled over onto my back and folded my hands over my stomach. Staring at the ceiling of the room, I wondered what was going to happen. Did PD have any idea where we were? They had to have some idea.
Right?
I wasn't sure what time it was or what day. Were Gabby and Matt on a call? Did they even have a shift today? What about everyone else at the firehouse?
Slowly, I started becoming sleepy and I soon fell asleep.
"Is she awake?"
"I don't know."
"Should we wake her?"
"I don't know."
"Is she breathing?"
"I think so."
"Should we wake her up?"
"I already told you, Megan. I don't know."
I opened one eye to see the girls leaning over me.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, slowly sitting up. I quickly did a headcount and let out a sigh of relief when they were all accounted for. Well, except for Lily.
Jane shook her head, "No, I mean, I don't think so."
I nodded, "Alright then, did they already come by with food and water?"
"No, not yet," Zoe said, "I'm getting hungry though."
We sat there in silence, all of us unsure of what to say. The familiar click of the door unlocking drew our attention and we all turned to look at it. The door opened to reveal Jerkface and Ginger. I was confused since they didn't have any food with them.
"Get up," Ginger ordered and beside me, the girls started to stand up.
I narrowed my eyes at them, "All of us?"
Jerkface snorted, "Just do as I say or I promise you'll regret it."
As much I hated following their directions, I did as I was told and stood up. Ginger came over and roughly grabbed my arm with one hand and used the other to grab Emma's. Jerkface hooked his arm through Emma and Zoe's and grabbed Jane's shoulder. Then, they directed us out of the room and down the hallway.
"Where are you taking us?" I asked as I was shoved outside of the house and down the steps. I stumbled a little bit but the tight grip on my arm prevented me from actually falling.
"It doesn't matter," Ginger replied, "Does it?"
I made a face at him, "Well, it involved me, so yes it does."
"Just get in the car," Jerkface said and pretty much threw us all into the back of the van. He then closed the door and Ginger and he got into the front. I heard the engine start and the van back out of the driveway.
"Where are they taking us?" Megan asked quietly.
"I don't know," I whispered back, not wanting Jerkface and Ginger to know that we were talking.
I then realized that if we were quiet, we could sort of make out the conversation happening upfront. I strained my ears and managed to pick up bits and pieces.
"Boss says the police are on to us," Jerkface said. As hard as I tried, I couldn't make hear what Ginger's response was. None the less, my heart spiked with hope as I realized this meant that the police did know that we were missing.
"What's his plan?" Ginger asked.
"Sell the girls, make some dough, and disappear," Jerkface said. "This means I'll have to get a job."
The rest of their conversation became mumbled and I stopped eavesdropping. None of us talked in the back of the van the whole drive and when the car stopped, the van door opened and Ginger and Jerkface hauled us out and up the steps of a new house. They pushed us into a new room which also happened to not have a window.
"Are you at least going to feed us?" I asked as they were leaving. Jerkface stopped and looked at me as if I was stupid. I raised an eyebrow to show I was looking for a reply.
"Are you going to shut your mouth?" He asked, advancing towards me.
I shrugged, "Probably not. You didn't answer my question though."
Jerkface came over and punched my cheek before grabbing my shoulders and slamming me against the ground. He kicked me repeatedly in the stomach and ribs before Ginger stepped in and pulled him back.
"Does that answer your question?" Jerkface asked and I rolled over to look at him.
I smirked and sat up. "No, you can keep beating me up but that doesn't answer my question."
Jerkface lunged at me but Ginger kept him back and eventually managed to pull him back and out the door. I heard the door lock before laying back down.
"Are you okay?" Emma asked tentatively and I nodded.
"Yeah, I'll be okay," I said though I was in a lot of pain. My face was stinging and my whole torso hurt with every move I made.
Jane looked at me, concern written all over her face. Her brown eyes stared intently at me but all I could manage was a weak smile.
"Everything will be okay," I said.
Right?
