She looked out of her bedroom window over the desert surrounding the large mansion. Lacy aka Constance was reflecting over the years about how she landed where she was at. When she was five she was kidnapped by a crazed woman one day in a grocery store. She was snatched from the cart while her mom was looking at the wine selection, and well her crazed captive had a getaway car so she made it out of town.
Thirteen years later she was eighteen, and ready to run, and find her mom. She didn't remember her dad. Only that he was in some shady business, and that he was hardly home.
Her mom she remembered was a home maker and had a little business on the side her dad set up for her so she could leave her former employer. Constance didn't remember much from before she was kidnapped and brought to this luxury prison. The only clue she had about her mother was a dvd that her captor's older son gave her.
It was a porno titled Triple Heat starring Lulu D. That was all she had. Constance had to escape so she could find her. She was never allowed to get on the internet unless Dita was watching her to make sure she didn't look up anything that was forbidden aka finding her mother.
The woman was deranged, and had been crazy for quite some time. Even her husband Jose called her Loco aka Spanish for crazy a few times.
What Constance was able to put together was that after crazy Dita's young son Cristobol was killed she just went nuts. That was why Dita lost it and kidnapped Constance at five years old. She could remember every little thing after she was taken from the grocery store in some other small California town.
All the insults that you will never replace my son that i lost, and that she was just a place holder to make herself look good. The hits when she stepped out of line. Constance grew up in a prison. A luxurious prison.
Constance was innocent in some ways, but wise in others. Examples: she had never been to an amusement park, arcade or anything fun, but she knew all about how the Cartel world worked. Basically you fuck up or rat you die. She had heard every cuss word in the book, but she has no knowledge about relationships, and sex.
Plus she knows how Jose was wanting to partner with the CIA for money, power, and to be out of the DEA crosshairs, and to be the top dog in the cartel business. Money, power, and protection was the best way to get ahead in the game.
On the flip side Constance had no idea how to be a normal teenager. She never had friends or slumber parties, but thanks to online learning she was at the second year of college at eighteen. And when it came to clothes Jeans and tshirts were her go to style. Though for dinners Dita bought her modest dresses, and heels. Finally she only braided her hair in a French braid.
Constance was sitting in the kitchen studying to be a nurse. That was an approved class since shit happens and that knowledge would be useful. Dita stormed in grabbing a bottle of Tequila, and poured two shot glasses. Slamming them both down she vented.
"Son of a bitch. That son of a bitch! I gave him everything, I love him, and yet he does this to me. Miguel is Incacio's son, not Jose's, but Incacio is a fucking liar. I saw him at a carnival making out with some bitch. I want him dead! His little bitch too!" Dita threw back another shot.
"I'm calling my brother in San Bernardino." Dita added. Constance said nothing. She knew nothing, and heard nothing. That was her best way of survival. See nothing, hear nothing, say nothing. She continued to study, but she could tell this woman that raised her for thirteen years was on edge. That was when she decided to make her escape, and find her parents. Hopefully without involving the police.
"Hey Les it's Dita. Listen to me I want you to send me your best. This personal. A favor asked from sister to older brother. I had an affair and the asshole left me and had some gash. I want both of them dead. Send your best!" she blasted into the phone before hanging up.
Constance knew then how crazy the woman was and knew she had to make her escape and soon. Thanks to her son Migual, who was this other guy's kid Dita flipped out over, she knew how to drive, but didnt have a license because only her mother could get her that cause she had the documentation.
So she drove without a license. Minor crime compared to being kidnapped and raised by a cartel queen. Constance had a dream. To be back home with her parents by Christmas. She had the dvd of her mom's. She just needed internet to look her up and find her.
~A few Days Later~
Packing backpack with just the essentials Constance made her escape. She was eighteen, legal age, and nothing was going to hold her back. She was going to find access to the internet and find her mom. Dita had gone so nuts that no one noticed that the little white girl had escaped.
She ran, and ran and just hoped that she could find her parents and start over. She didn't dare to look back just in case someone saw her escape, and hoped that no one saw her escape. She cut through the field, and hopped a couple fences before she made it to a road where she began jogging along it trying to find the highway.
~Happy~
Happy had no idea what the fuck was going on. He fucked up. He killed the wife, but not the husband. Taking the car he stole he drove off. Though Happy made the mistake of not ditching the car.
He ended being rear ended. Scared that the cartel was bringing a clean up guy he took off running. The guy shot at him, and he shot back. Then the guy after him made a rookie mistake killing a cop. The two men stared one another down before Happy ran off.
He ran till he got to his cage. A black four door 2007 Chevy Silverado. His bike was in the back. This time he took his cage just in case something went wrong. He could always hide the bike in the bike under a tarp.
Getting into the cage he fired up the engine and drove away. He bought the cage to drive his mom to his appointments and what not, and also for emergencies like this.
As he was leaving town he saw a little blond girl walking along with just a backpack. Something told him to stop. Pulling the cage to the side of the road he got out and walked over to the little girl.
"Hey little girl what are you doing out in the middle of nowhere?" Happy asked.
"I'm eighteen, and I was abducted when I was five out of a grocery store. I'm escaping and going to find my parents. I just need internet." said Constance.
"Get in." Happy couldn't' believe what he said, but something about this legal, but barely, girl drew him to her.
"I don't even fucking know you. How am I supposed to know that you are safe?" she fired back.
Happy felt turned on by the fact that she stood up to him and stood her ground. "Listen I promise I won't hurt you, and I'll take you wherever you need to go." said Happy.
"I'm from a small town. I cannot remember the name, but it's near Stockton. About an hour to an hour and a half away depending on how fast you are going and traffic. It's seventy five miles away. Though I need the internet to find my mom. Here this is the only thing I have to find her. Also for some reason I trust you." said Constance as she handed the man a dvd.
Happy felt all kinds of emotions. First of all anger that someone took this child from her home, sadness that she missed out on her childhood, gladness and happy that she trusted him, and finally seeing the dvd it was like fate was throwing his future Ol Lady right in his face.
Triple Heat starring Lulu D. He knew that video and that name. Luanne Delany. The last film Luanne ever starred in, and now she was a producer who owned her own studio.
"I know your parents. I'll take you back to Charming. Though I have a question. Have you even been to a amusement park?" Happy asked. Okay he knew he was about to spend a bit of money, but he didn't care. This young woman deserved to have some fun that she missed out on.
"No I never have. I don't even have a license, but my captive's son taught me to drive. I'm backwards a bit. I'm wise in some things, but naive in others." said said Constance. "Also call me Connie. I remember that's what my parents called me. Constance is a beautiful name, but it's a mouthful." she added.
"I want to take you to Santa Monica Pier before we head back to Charming. You deserve some fun." said Happy.
"Happy I just want to get to my parents. Please that's all I want." said Connie crying a bit.
"Okay I'll get you to your mom. Your dad's in Stockton prison. Some shit went down after you were taken, and well he went off half cocked and ended up in prison. Though between you and me it was all because of Clay. Keep that to yourself." said Happy,
"I know so much shit about the people who kidnapped me. Strike that the woman's family since they had nothing to do with it. She acted on her own. Still the same I know alot of shit, but I'm no rat." said Connie. "Okay since you gave me something about what's going on from your perspective on your end I feel the need to return the favor. The bitch's husband is looking into making a deal and hooking up with the CIA for money, power, and to become the top dog in the indrusty as well as protecting his own ass." she added.
It was that quick. Both parties shared inside information with one another as a show of trust. "I won't say anything. What's said between us stays between us. Listen I just met you, but I have feelings for you. Total disclosure between the two of us." said Happy.
"I have no idea what my parents will say about us, but okay. You will be my first romantic relationship as well as my first, well, you know." said Connie.
"You won't want anyone else, but me baby. Also it turns me on knowing that I'm going to be your one, and only. My ma will be happy that I'm finally settling down. You do this to me." said Happy.
"Cocky bastard! I have a question. Do you have my mother's number. I'd like to call her, and let her know that I'm rescued, I'm safe, and that I'm coming home." said Connie.
"Here you go." said Happy handing Connie his phone as he put the truck in gear and pulled back onto the highway. Connie smiled as she scrolled down, and found her mom's cell phone.
"Hello." a woman said on the other end.
"Mom, it's Connie. I promise it's me. i escaped, and then I was rescued, and I'm on my way home. I promise I am telling the truth." she said as she heard a sob on the other end. Connie felt the tears fall from her eyes herself.
"Is this forereal? My baby girl?" Luanne sobbed.
"Yes ma it's me." said Connie.
"Luanne it's Happy. I believe what she is saying, and well I'm the one who picked her up walking along the highway." said Happy.
"And you like her. I know you and your type. You love the blonds, and well she caught your interest. Either you are serious or you need to hit the road after you get her back home. No playing around shit." said Luanne.
"Luanne I have feelings for your daughter. I'm all in. Also I want to take her to the Santa Monica Pier before we come back because she has never been to the beach and never been to an amusement park. Okay I know you've called me a cheap bastard, but I'm willing to spend a bit on her because she deserves it." said Happy
"I trust you Happy. Connie I know you want to come home, but you deserve to have some fun, and see the beach and got to an amusement park." said Luanne.
"Okay mom. I love you." said Connie.
"Love you too." said Luanne.
