Brennan woke the next morning to water being splashed on his face. "Get up freak time for auction"
Brennan merely looked at him with contempt as he rose from the floor. He was going to say something when three other men came in grabbed him and dragged him out of his cell.
He was pushed down a small hallway until he entered a large room that contained a man made stage with men armed to the teeth stationed everywhere he looked. Looking over to his right he could see a woman being ushered in into the room. Relief rushed over him when he realized it was Shalimar and she was ok. He was going to yell to her when a man stepped up to a microphone on the stage.
"Gentlemen let the auction begin" The man said and the crowd went wild "First up" he said motioning to the man holding Brennan to move him to the stage "is this man, an electrical elemental"
The crowd went wild as Brennan was moved from side of the stage to the other. When he got to the side of the stage where Shalimar was waiting he made eye contact sending her a message to be strong. She softly nodded that she understood.
"We'll start the bidding at $ 500"
"$500" said burly man in the back
"I have $500, do I hear $600?"
"$600" said an elderly man in the front
"I have $600, do I hear $ 700?"
"$900" said a middle aged man with a pony tail who reminded Brennan of a man from a bad drug movie
"$900, do I hear a $1000?"
"A $1000" said the burly man who was obviously very upset the man with the pony tail had joined the bidding
Before the auctioneer could even ask for a higher bid the man with the pony tail shouted "$ 2000"
"Ah $ 2000 do I hear $3000?"
"$3000" yelled the burly man
"$ 5000" said the man with the pony tail. The room got slightly quiet when they heard the man's bid.
Shalimar looked the man with the pony tail over as he bid $ 5000 on Brennan. There was something about him that made her stomach lurch but she must have been starring too long because he looked over at her making sure to lower his sunglasses to get a better look at her. Shalimar merely turned her head away in disgust. The man smiled "Well $5000 do I hear $6000?" said the auctioneer looking directly at the burly man who was contemplating his next bid "$5000 going once, $5000 going twice," stomping his foot on the stage "sold to Mr. Ortega for $5000"
The man, now identified as Mr. Ortega merely nodded to the auctioneer and then to the burly man before turning his attention back to Shalimar.
Brennan was being ushered off the stage when he caught sight the man who had just 'purchased' him looking Shalimar up and down as she was shoved on stage. His heart broke as he watched her being shown off like a piece meat as the men in the audience whistled and cooed at her.
"Now Gentlemen a fine prize" the auctioneer said motioning to Shalimar "I think this specimen speaks for itself. Shall we begin the bidding at...."
"$ 4000" Yelled Ortega cutting off the auctioneer
"$ 4000, I have $4000 do I hear $5000?"
"$5000" said a man front the middle of the room
Shalimar wanted to lunge at each man that bid on her and break their necks but she was held firmly in place by the two men who had escorted her in
"I have $5000 do I hear..." the auctioneer was cut off again by Ortega
"$10,000" said Ortega without even adjusting in his seat.
Everyone was shocked and it was obvious that this man would go to any price to get Shalimar and by betting $10,000 he was sending a message for everyone to back off.
"$10,000 going once, $10,000 going twice" stomping his foot on the stage again "sold once again to Mr. Ortega"
Ortega kept constant eye contact with Shalimar as she was ushered off stage where she would be placed in a private cell until the auction was over
~~~
Brennan was relieved when he realized that he and Shalimar were purchased by the same man. But at the same time he was nervous not only at the length he went to get her but also at how he leered at her when she was ushered off stage. He was broken from his thoughts when he saw her being thrown into a cell adjacent to his own.
After he was sure the men had left them alone he called out to her "are you ok?"
"Yeah if you can call being sold like a piece of meat ok" she spat
"At least we will be together"
She smiled at him "yeah which will make it easier for Adam and the others to find us"
"That's the Shalimar Fox I know" he replied smiling
She was about to say something when the men who put them in their cells along with Ortega arrived. "Prepare them for transport" he said before leaving them
Brennan and Shalimar merely looked at one another as he left the room and they were once again drugged before being carried out of their cells to an awaiting van.
