CH 7: Copycat

When Kat opened her eyes again she was cold...She could see nothing, and she was cold...Her fingers were beginning to sting a little bit. Balling up her fists to keep her fingers as warm as possible she realized there was rope binding her wrists together.
"FUCK!" Kat held her breath after hearing Vincent cursing in the next room. It became clear exactly where she was..."YOU STUPID BITCH!" he kicked the bathroom door. She curled into herself feeling tears of fear falling without her permission. The marble bathtub in Vincent's bathroom was icy cold against her skin. She closed her eyes trying to pretend she was dead already. She heard the doorknob turn and she couldn't even begin to try and process what was about to happen to her. Suddenly and much to her relief his hand left the door seconds later.
"Daniel!" Vincent called. Kat heard him walking away from the bathroom and she allowed herself to breathe again. She listened intently for this...Daniel to speak. She wanted to know who she played stunt double for earlier.
"Vincent..." Daniel sounded like he'd been crying...hard... Vincent must have backed up into something because she heard him fall over something and a lamp smashed on the floor.
"Daniel, listen...I can explain it all! See that's...she's...she's..." Vincent was stuttering and choking from fear.
"Shhh...Vinny! It's alright!" Daniel gave him a tearstained grin noticing the handgun Vincent had begun to reach for. "You just never told me that this..." He motioned to the blood staining his white clothes. "...is where you were getting the money you donated...to the church..." He allowed a little bit of hatred to lace through his words.
"What did you do, Daniel?" Vincent sounded breathless.
"I tried to save them..." Daniel sighed. Vincent cursed under his breath.
"Danny please..." he pulled out the handgun and pointed it at Daniel. His finger shaking on the trigger. Daniel smiled calmly.
"Oh Vince...you won't shoot me..." He taunted. Even though he was sniffling, confidence radiating from every syllable. Kat yelped when the gunshot startled her. She strained her now ringing ears to hear any sign of life from Daniel. She sighed in relief when a dark chuckle that wasn't Vince's met her ears.
"You Forget...Your trigger finger is mine..." Daniel smirked. The bullet was lodged in the wall. "Vincent...I took you in...I gave you whatever you needed. I understood you when no one else did...I tried to set you back on the right path...but look at this mess, my friend." His voice began to quiver. "Our church is all about helping people reach a state of purity so that they can ascend! All you have done here is tarnish people to the point that not even I could save them."
"Forgive me..." Vincent fell to his knees before grabbing Daniel's hand in a rather overdramatic fashion. A dark smirk broke though Daniel's tears.
"Of course, I forgive you Vincent..." Vincent broke into a big smile. He stood up and hugged Daniel tightly.
"T-thank you! I'll make it up to you! I promise!" Vincent swore breathlessly.
"Ah-ah...First you have to make it up to all the women you've held here..." Daniel didn't sound sad anymore...Kat could practically hear his grin in his voice. She heard them talking still, but they had moved out of her hearing range from the bathtub. She sighed and started working on getting herself loose from these ropes. She jumped out of her skin when a knock came to the door.
