Meaning Of Love

By the Untalented JOxER

Chapter 10.

Lucas' eyes lids slowly began to open. He was semi conscious of his surroundings and wondered why his
head hurt so much. He wanted to rub his eyes awake when he started to panic. His hands were tied down
and his memory kicked in. He had been taken, and not only him… Dayna. He opened his tired eyes and
saw that he was in a room where the morning sun was the only source of light in the room. Lucas quickly
scanned the room to see if anyone was watching him. From what he could see and turn his head, he was
alone. He quickly twisted his body to see if his bond would loosen. As he moved his lower body, he felt a
sudden jolt of pain enter his head. He would have screamed his head off but there was something in his
mouth preventing it. Lucas looked down to see where the pain was coming from and saw his leg. His leg
pant from his left leg was cut and he could see his leg was swallow to twice the size of a regular leg. He
tried to move it again when he screamed again. 'Bad move genius' Lucas thought to himself and he tried
to move his arms out of the chair he was sitting in. He groaned when the bonds wouldn't loosen. He tried
to move his lower body, only his right leg but he knew he wasn't going anywhere. He cried, as the pain
coming from his leg seemed to spread to every part of his body. If he moved his leg, then the pain would
only be concentrated from there. But if he left it alone, the pain from his leg would spread to his
abdominal and to his other leg. It was a no win situation. Lucas tried to scream for someone's attention
but got nothing. He lowered his head down and sighed. There was no one around.

Lucas nearly screamed again when he felt hard hands land on his shoulders. Lucas tried to look at the
person behind him but he ended up getting backhanded by the person. Lucas' head went to a side as the
person walked in front of him and knocked on a door. Lucas raised his head and tried to recognize the
person who just hit him. He knew it wasn't his father; the man knocking on the door had blond hair and
was thinner than his father. The door opened and saw another man asked what was wrong. The blond has
said that the kid is awake and the other man nodded to someone else inside the room. The blond and the
new man exited the room and stood in front of Lucas. Lucas still didn't recognize any of the men. The
new guy was almost the same built of his father but Lucas was sure it wasn't. Even if his father altered his
appearance or went on a slim fast diet, Lucas would always know his own father. You never really forget
the person who beat you everyday of your life so easily. The two men standing in front of Lucas turned as
the door to the room behind them opened. Lucas' eyes went wide and he trembled in fear as he saw his
father emerge from the room. Lawrence slammed the door hard, making Lucas jump and Lawrence smile.
'Why did you have to wake up' Lucas thought as he closed his eyes shut, wishing this was all a dream.

"Hello son, glad you can join us." Lawrence said, making Lucas' wish disappear. Lucas opened his eyes to
see his father had come face to face with him. Lucas' whimpered as he father looked down at his injured
leg.

"Oh look, you got hurt…" Lawrence said as he applied pressure to his left leg. Lucas' screamed with all he
might but the gag prevented the scream to leave his throat. Lawrence smiled at his actions and faced his
son again. Lucas was beginning to breath heavily and since he had been crying, he nose was all blocked up
and it was hard to breath. He tried to tell his father to remove the gag before he suffocated but again, his
muffled voice was heard instead.

"You want to say something to me?" Lawrence said as he stood up and removed the duct tape from Lucas
mouth. Lucas right now didn't feel the pain that came from the tape but spit out the old rag that was stuff
down his throat and took gasps of breath. "So?" Lawrence said.

"Where's… where's Dayna." Lucas managed to say between breaths.

"Dayna? So that's her name? She is perfectly all right. Though she has a powerful left kick…But don't
worry, I taught her some manners." Razor butted in as an evil grin appeared on his face.

"I swear if you hurt her…" Lucas said as he made a small body movement as he tried to lean forward
towards Razor. Razor laughed at the teens actions as he rubbed his inner thigh from the memory of that
famous left kick from the girl named Dayna.

"You are in no position to give out threats Lucas... you at you, you pathetic waste that I call my son."
Lawrence said.

"I am not your son anymore.. get that through your head, I am not, Lawrence..." Lucas spit back at his
face, maybe it was that he was in pain or too worried about Dayna care for his own safety. Lawrence dark
smile died down and Lawrence went over to his son and landed a couple of hard punches on Lucas
unprotected stomach. Lucas coughed violently as the wind was knocked out of him. After a couple of
blows, Lawrence faced his son as he himself grew tired of the game. Lucas took in deep breaths as he tried
to control the pain that was now coming from his stomach.

"I would watch that tongue of your before I get Razor here to chop it off." Lawrence said as he gave a
small nod at Razor and he walked towards the teen. Lucas moved back to his chair as he knew that his
father was serious about the threats. Razor went towards the teen and grabbed his chin in one hand.

"Wouldn't mind frying that tongue of yours and feeding it to your girl friend." Razor said as he tilted the
teens head to the right. Lucas took in a deep breath and spited in Razor's face. Razor wiped his cheek
clean and back handed the teen across the cheek. Then he walked around the teen and tilted Lucas head
back by grabbing his blond hair. Razor then went to his back pocket and grabbed a small butterfly knife
from his back pocket and placed the sharp blade against Lucas throat. "Your head would look so good on
my wall."

"Enough, Razor let him go. You can have the rest after I am done with him." Lawrence said as he grabbed
Razor's arm. Razor pulled harder on Lucas hair that made the teen cried out. Razor then did a fancy trick
with his knife and placed it back into the pocket from which it came from. It was the only time that Lucas
actually felt relief that his father was there. Then again, his words had echoed in his head- You can have
the rest after I am done with him.

"Well son, lets speak business..." Lawrence said as he motioned the other man that stood silent through out
the whole scene. Doran nodded his head and went to the other room. Lawrence smiled and faced his son
again, this time taking a much softer tone. "I need you to do me a favor before we can handle the real
business..." Lawrence waited for his son to react.

"I am not doing any favors..." Lucas tried to say when he was backhanded by his father. A small trial of
blood was now coming down his cut lip and falling from his chin.

"Shut up and listen for a change." Lawrence said as Doran came back and was wheeling something in. It
was a computer that had be built. The motherboard and the wire less internex card were not in a case and
the whole thing was just a bunch of wires. Lucas knew his father had the skills to build something from
the ground up and this was one example. "I need you to get me a new life.. and in order to do that, I need
cash. Everything I had was lost in the trail you made me go through.. everything! Lucky, I had some
extra accounts in a private account and this is how I got off...now, you see these men around me.. they also
want a new life.. so, I am going to need your services and for you to hack into a small bank and create us
some accounts with lets say.... a couple of hundred thousand for the guys and a million or so for me."
Lawrence said as he watched his son sighed. "So do we have a deal?" Lawrence said as he stood up and
placed his hands on his hips and waited for his son to answer him.

"Like hell I will." Lucas said as he knew if he didn't co-operated, he could have delayed some time from
Lawrence perfect plan.

"Oh you wont?" Lawrence said as he motioned for Razor towards Lucas. Lucas closed his eyes, knowing
what was going to happen next but was surprised that Razor came around and shoved the old rag down his
throat again. Lucas felt like he was going to throw up as the gaga reached the end of this mouth. Razor
then clapped his hand over Lucas' mouth as Lawrence handed him the duct tape. Razor placed the tape
back on to the teen and stood behind with the other man. Lawrence kneeled down to eye level with his son
and smiled. "I guess I have to teach you a lesson." Lawrence said as he lightly slapped Lucas. Lawrence
stood up and began to walk away. Lucas drew a breath in relief as he thought his father was walking away
when that relief was struck down. Lawrence turned back and came at Lucas with closed fists as he landed
a couple of blows to Lucas' unprotected gut. The blows were strong enough to make any grow men
buckled. Lawrence then stood up and asked Lucas if he was going to corporate. Lucas looked at his father
as tears rolled down his face. Lucas was so glad that he was gagged and that his father couldn't hear him
scream out in pain. He gave his father the 'go to hell' look. Lucas shook his head no and knew what was
coming, more punches and more pain. Lawrence hit his son on the face so strong that made the chair that
Lucas was tied to flip backwards. Lawrence bend down and picked up the fallen teen upright once more.
Lawrence turned to the blond man behind him and said its time. The man had a huge smile on his face as
he left out of sight. Lawrence then turned to his son once more. "I will only ask one more time.... will
you help me?" Lucas once again shook his head again, slowly then before but it was a clearly a no.
Lawrence asked the man that was left in the room to stand behind his son and make sure he wasn't going
anywhere. Lucas didn't know what Lawrence was up to but knew he had to disagree on what he wanted.
There was no way he was going to corporate. Lucas heard someone coming and thought that Lawrence
had some new toys to try out on him. 'It wouldn't be a first time' Lucas thought as he remembered the
times where Lawrence liked to introduce bats or whips in the beatings. Razor came back with something
on his shoulders. Lucas' eyes went wide and he tried to get up from the chair.

Razor came in with Dayna over his shoulders. Lawrence motioned for Razor to put the girl down near
Lucas. Razor nodded and dropped the girl near Lucas. Lucas grew angry as he saw the way razor set her
down. The man had a dead wish in Lucas' mind. Lucas heard a grunt came from Dayna and took his
attention off Razor and saw if Dayna was all right. Lucas saw she had some bruises on her face and her
pants undone. Lucas thought of the unthinkable and wanted to kill razor right where he stand. Lawrence
saw Lucas struggling and trying to get out of the chair but it was useless, the teen was tied up very good.
Lawrence smiled as pain was noticeable in Lucas' face but it didn't stop his son from trying to break the
bonds. Lawrence nodded his head to Razor and Razor sat down near Dayna. 'Oh god.." Lucas thought as
he made muffled noises towards the men in front of him. Razor bent down and took the duct tape off
Dayna' mouth. Dayna only moaned but Lucas didn't know if she was awake due to the duct tape around
her eyes. Razor noticed it too and began to shake her to wake up.

"Hey baby.. come on, wake up..." Razor said as he slapped her face to wake up. Dayna let out a scream
and tried to get up from the floor. She had recognized the voice and she had to get away. Her hands were
useless since they were tied behind her back but she did her best moving her legs out and kicking where
she heard the voice. Razor sat on top of Dayna's midsection and began to stroke her hair. "Sorry baby but
this is going to hurt." Razor said as he kissed her chest and got up from her. Dayna tried to move away
from the voice but ended up hitting another pair of legs. She moved towards the other way, pushing her
body with her legs. 'There were two of them so far, maybe more' Dayna thought as she began to panic.

"Why are you doing this!" Dayna screamed as she knew she wasn't going to get away.

"To teach my son a lesson, that is all.." Lawrence said as he kicked Dayna in the ribs. Dayna cried out in
pure pain as she felt another kick in her back. Razor and Lawrence began to kick Dayna around a dozen
times while Lucas fought harder to get out of the chair and help out Dayna. He began to cry as he thought
that this was all his fault. If he only said yes to his father demands... Lucas thought as he ignored the pain
that was coming from his leg and tired to free himself. Doran was behind the teen and saw the teen
struggle but knew that he the knots and bonds were to tight and the teen had to be superman to get himself
out of the chair. Dayna's screams became weaker and weaker as the kicks continued. Lawrence got tired
of the game and stopped kicking the girl but Razor continued to beat her bad.

"What do you want to say to me now son?" Lawrence said to Lucas. Lawrence moved towards Lucas and
removed the duct tape once again in a careless way.

"Ill do anything you want me to, just leave her alone!" Lucas yelled. Lawrence went to Lucas and slapped
him.

"don't take that tone voice to me... Now, tell me what do you want to say.," Lawrence said.

"Please, I will do anything but please, don't hurt her anymore." Lucas said in a nice calm way. He hated
begging to Lawrence but it was the only way to save Dayna's life. Lawrence looked at Lucas and shook
his finger at him.

"Please... please what?"

"Please... Please dad... stop it." Lucas said

"Right son." Lawrence smiled as he signaled for Razor to stop his vicious kicking. Razor smiled but gave
Dayna one last hard kicked towards her head. She had long lost consciousness but the kick that Razor gave
was powerful enough to knock over an elephant.

"Can you believe it, the little Bitch is still alive." Razor said as he notice that Dayna was still breathing.

Lawrence signaled to Razor to take her away and Razor picked Dayna off the ground and carried her back
to where she was. Lucas let a sigh of relief but knew that Dayna needed some medical help. He knew
exactly what kind of damage kicks could do to a person's body.

"Dad... please, she needs medical help.." Lucas said again in a calm voice.

"You got the same treatment when you were with me and you never did get medical help...." Lawrence
said as he denied Lucas request. "Now, if you don't cooperate I will have to do this again. And by the
look of things, she cant take more. She is not used to it like you are..." Lawrence said as Lucas nodded his
head. He knew too that one more beating and Dayna would have died, if she wasn't dead now. "Very
good, now I am going to untie your hands and let you work on the computer... if you even dare to contact
anyone or even do something... your little girl is going to get it." Lawrence said as he untied Lucas' hands
and pushed the home made computer near him. Lucas took in a deep breath, hoping that he was able to
hack into a small bank and not be detected. If he was, he hoped that he could over write it... Lucas looked
at his father who had stood behind him as he turned on the computer. Doran had his eyes on Lucas' wrist
and grabbed the teens hand. Doran began to take off Lucas' watch but Lucas fought back by shoving
Doran's hands from even touching his dad's watch. Doran didn't want to do it but he wanted that watch, it
looked like silver and he never did own a silver watch like that. The watch look pretty darn expensive. So
he grabbed hard to Lucas' wrist and pulled out his arm until his arm was straight like an arrow. Lucas
screamed as he felt his arm was going to be pulled out of its socked. Doran quickly got the silver watch
and let Lucas' arm. Lucas pulled his arm near him and rubbed the pain that was coming from his
shoulders. Lawrence gave Lucas a small kick on his right leg and told him to stop being such a baby.
Lucas took in a deep breath and began to log into the interenex. He hoped that he could send out a private
message to someone but Lawrence was watching him like a hawk. Lucas just hoped that he could hack
into a small time bank and that the system was not to hard to crack. He knew better then to get a popular
bank, that bank would have top of the line security but a smaller one, it wouldn't be that hard. He just
hoped that all his hacking skills wouldn't fail him now, he's and Dayna's life depended on it.
