Chapter 17
Emily's feet were sore when she arrived to the address Will had sent her. It had been a pretty long walk, but she had been determent to make it before he hurt JJ. She saw the man's car in the parking lot and approached it, slowly. He was staring at her through the windshield, but didn't go out. No, JJ was the one exiting the car instead.
"JJ, are you okay?" Emily hurried up to the younger woman.
She nodded "I am... We're gonna get out of this, Em. Just play along." The blonde said and held up some duct tape.
Emily sighed and held her hands out in front of her. JJ hesitated a moment before pulling the tape around Emily's hands, careful to not tie them too tightly. With one glance at Will, the two women moved to the car. It was first when JJ started opening the backdoor that Will got out.
"No, she doesn't get to ride in the car with us," He said and walked to the back of the car, opening the trunk "Filthy whores like her belongs in there"
Emily glanced down to her feet before meeting JJ's eyes, looking more confident. "It's okay."
Hesitantly, Emily stepped into the small area and lay herself down. She studied Will's expressions just before he closed the trunk, leaving her in complete darkness. JJ and Will's muffled voices could be heard and she knew the blonde was trying to reason with Will. When she heard a slap, Emily started banging from the inside.
"I did what you wanted! I came! Don't hurt her!" She yelled, hoping he'd hear her.
It went quiet and Emily struggled to try and hear what was going on outside. A pair of car doors shut and the vehicle started. The brunette leaned her head back, wincing as her head kept bouncing against the bottom of the trunk. She tried to lift her hands and rest them underneath her head, but her restraints made it impossible. Neither the blonde nor the the brunette knew where they were headed and what Will would do. Emily was hoping he'd let JJ and the kids go. Though, something told her he was keeping all of them.
The vehicle came to a sudden stop, which made Emily's head bang against a steel surface. Her body tensed as the doors slammed shut and she waited for someone to let her out. But no one came. She wondered slightly if they had maybe stopped at a gas station, surely that must be it. So she searched for every little sound, telling her where they were, but it was eerily quiet. The cold started to seep into the small area, not even her sweater protected her from the chilly night.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting when she realized they weren't at a gas station. Where the hell were they? Had they switched cars? No, she hadn't heard another car start and she didn't believe they'd take off on foot. She took a deep breath before starting to kick, hit and scream. She needed someone to hear her, to let her out, or maybe she would be able to break out of there on her own. Nothing worked though and it just made her exhausted. She stopped kicking and started looking for a handle or some kind of exit through the dark, but there was nothing there.
She let out a shaky breath as she thought about how to get out or get help. Would the run out if she stayed there all night? It already felt hard to breathe and her limbs were aching. This would be a terrible night.
She had passed and when she woke up again she could feel that the car was moving again. Her first instinct was to stretch her legs, but it wasn't possible. She pulled her knees tighter to her body and closed her eyes. How long had she been in there? How many hours?
The car was speeding down the road and Emily tried to keep her body still. She wanted them to arrive to wherever they were going, but the car didn't stop. Not yet.
When it finally did stop, Emily didn't know if she'd be let out or not. She must've been there for 24 hours soon. The doors were opened and shut and soon she heard the click of the trunk. It was dark outside which told her just how long she had been there. Will grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the trunk. She groaned as she got on her feet.
"Are you okay, Em?" JJ asked worriedly.
Emily grimaces, taking a deep breath "I'm okay."
Will didn't allow the women to talk more than that.
"Jennifer, grab the kids," he ordered and started dragging Emily into a big house.
Her feet didn't keep up with him since they had been in a cramped area for so long. But Will didn't care that they were folding underneath her. He just kept dragging her, not even waiting for JJ to catch up.
"Will..." Emily started "Let them go. You have me, you don't need them."
"Shut up!" He said angrily, tightening his grip on her to make sure she knew who was in control.
She glanced back to see if JJ was following and saw that she had just let Henry out of the car. That was the last thing she saw before she was pushed inside. Emily hoped that JJ would take off with the kids but she knew she wouldn't... Not when Will still had Emily.
He dragged her to a door and as soon as it was open she was flung down a staircase and landed with a thud. She groaned at the pain she felt shooting through her body. Emily tried to get up on her feet, but her whole body was aching. Will was down within seconds and helped her on her up. It wasn't a good deed though. Tying a piece of rope around her already duct taped hands, he dragged her over to a hook in the ceiling and quickly fastened the rope. Her body got stretched out and almost lifted off the ground, only her tiptoes touching the cold concrete.
He studied her and his dark eyes met hers.
"What happened to you?" Emily asked the former New Orleans detective.
"You happened," he said, angrily, picking up a knife.
Emily's eyes widened, "Will, you don't wanna do that."
"Shut up," he growled and started cutting off her clothes.
A gust of cold wind hit her body as soon as it was exposed and she tried to get her arms free, but they wouldn't budge. She could feel the blade touching her skin every time he cut a piece of clothing off.
When he was done he took a step back. "I will be back later. I have a family to take care of."
The brunette sighed and watched the man walk up the stairs, leaving her naked and battered body behind.
