Chapter 6 – Locked Up
Shegazed out through a shattered window at the velvety-black night sky. Myriads of glimmering, sparkling stars rested upon it and shone like diamonds at her. The cool night breeze caressed her dark blonde hair, billowing though her loose T-shit as well. The night was so young, so cool and so calm……
But not happy.
There were only hours left before the rusty dagger lying in the pockets of her assailant sliced her neck. Justine's heart was thumping furiously.
Where is Danny? She mentally screamed. Her body felt as limp as a rag doll; the only thing that was still functioning was her nearly dead mind. There were brown blood stains on the dungeon floor – her blood. Justine felt so cold. To top it off, her cell phone had been flung out of the dungeon window by her assailant – and there went her only hope of being saved. Unless Danny could figure out what she had sent him.
Justine could only send him two words – the place where she was. She didn't have enough time. She could hear her assailant's footsteps echoing around by the time she had typed the word 'Black'. She'd quickly added in the word 'Joker' behind it and sent it to Danny.
But it was too late.
Her assailant had swept into the dungeon and saw the slender gadget in Justine's hand – and that was the last time she ever saw it.
She sighed.
.:Danny's Car:.
"Are you sure about this, Danny?" Mary asked skeptically. She watched her childhood friendly drive around the hectic Las Vegas like a madman – yet he was expressionless. Having met with many close shaves just now, Mary was very nervous. At the rate Danny was driving, they would meet with an accident. Then who will save Justine?
Danny: Please, please, PLEASE be safe Justine…… I'll kill whoever did this to you…
Mary observed Danny for a while longer before deciding to look at the night scenery instead.
There was silence for the next five minutes. He drove. She watched.
Mary looked at her chain watch, then at the passing road sign anxiously. It was already 11.00pm and they had to travel a few more minutes before reaching 'Black Joker'.
More casinos passed.
Danny could only wish Justine was still alive.
Well, RR
please! Look out for the next chapter!
