OK slight warning this chapter is T+ so if your under age and do not want to be offended then please do not read, although the rest of the story may not make much sense with out it. However if your underage and normal carry on I promise I wont tell.
Mickie was frozen to the spot, one minute she was smiling at this man and thanking him for getting rid of the men that were threatening them, now he was the one pointing the gun at them. "I said it wasn't a question, now in the building." The man said pointing his gun at a doorway then back at them.
Randy just looked at Mickie and turned to the man who did not look like he was interested in discussing the matter. Randy made to walk forward seeing that he had no choice, no choice that was unless he wanted to get shot but Mickie did not follow him.
"Come on Mickie we better see what he wants." Randy said taking hold of her around the shoulders and guiding her forward. "Randy?" Mickie questioned looking up at him but for now he had no answers for her.
The man with the gun directed them forward and in though a door at the base of an apartment block, Mickie was not sure if it was the one he had come out of earlier but she suspected it was. Glancing behind her she saw him give her a flash of a smile that showed her almost all his teeth. It was not a reassuring look at all.
"Stop here this is the one, if you push the door its open go straight in." The man said slightly lowering the weapon but not taking his eyes off them. Randy pushed at the door and in swung inwards. The apartment seamed pretty much in tacked, it looked like the people in there had been doing some cleaning as anything broken seemed to have ended up in the hallway. It also looked like anything undamaged had been retrieved and put in place.
Mickie followed Randy into the apartment, she looked at the two guys who were sitting on the sofa, and both had cigarettes hanging from their mouths. The sofa looked like it had seen better days, the ugly flower pattern on it was faded, and there were suspicious looking stains on it. Mickie saw the girl at the last moment, she was sat with her knees up to her chin, back to the wall behind the arm of the sofa on the floor, her dirty blonde hair stuck to her cheeks which Mickie suspected were wet from crying, she also appeared to have on very little clothes. Glancing at Randy Mickie could see he was trying not to react, but she could see the muscles clenching in his jaw, and his eyes had narrowed into small slits.
"Take a seat." The man who had lead them here said, he was still smiling and he looked like he was just being friendly, but Mickie knew there was something very wrong going on here. Tuning Mickie saw another sofa behind her, this one was in no better condition than the other and she did not like the thought of sitting on it, but it appeared she had little choice.
"Now I have been very rude, let me introduce myself and my friends here. My name is Steve, this is Daniel and Tom, and my quite friend in the corner there is Alice." Steve said smiling at them as if he had just helped them out and they had come in for a friendly drink, not been ordered here at gun point. "Are you going to tell us your name sweetheart?" Daniel said looking at Mickie and not hiding the fact that he was checking her out. Mickie wanted to sound confident, like she was not intimidated by the situation at all. Before she got a chance to answer Steve spoke up. "Oh come on Daniel don't you recognise them, I am telling you we have hit the jackpot here." Steve said pointing at them with his gun, which made Mickie wince, she thought he was going to shoot them accidentally.
"Think I do, yeah there is posters up all around town especially of you." Tom said indicating towards Randy and both men sat there waiting for Daniel to catch up. Randy saw the moment Daniel clocked who they were, his face physically changed in front of their eyes. "No Fucking way, how did you get them?" Daniel said turning to Steve and shaking the guys hand.
"I guess they just kind of fell into my lap." Steve grinned at Randy and Randy was having a hard time not squirming in his seat. "Do you have any idea how much we can charge for these two?" Tom said getting up and going to the fridge. He pulled out a six pack of beers and handed one to each of them, including Mickie and Randy who took the can but had no intention of drinking any.
"Excuse me charge for what and who?" Randy said not liking the sound of this one bit, were these guys in to the white slave trade or what. Steve looked at him and his smile was broad but it was cold. Randy had not noticed before maybe because he had not looked that closely, but Steve's eyes were cold and grey, they held no emotion behind them, his smile said don't be afraid I am a nice guy, but his eyes told the truth, that he was a very dangerous guy.
"There are people we know who will pay high Dollar for a chance with unusual people, you know people they would not normally have aces to." Daniel said getting up and coming over to where Mickie and Randy were sitting, he seemed to bend forward as if he was checking out the merchandise.
"Celebrities, rich folks, even children, under normal circumstances very hard to come by, but guess what tonight was our lucky night." Tom said from his seat lighting up another cigarette and placing his hand on Alice's head and stroking her hair, but there was nothing comforting about it. Randy could see the girl physically shrink under his touch.
"You deal in children? That's not right." Mickie said finally finding the power in her voice because she was so shocked.
"Maybe it's not, but we provide only what the market demands, and tonight the market is demanding you." Steve said not moving and not making any attempt to hide the fact that they were in some serious trouble. Randy glanced around the room, there was only one way out of this apartment and that was though the front door. The living room was a fair size, but they would never get to the door without getting shot. There were three doors going off from the living room. One was the kitchen, that door was open, the other two doors were shut. Randy suspected that both were bed rooms, he had no idea what he would do if they took Mickie and made her do anything against her will. It was also pretty obvious that they knew exactly who they were. It was probably the only reason that they were still alive right now. There would have been a good view of the street from this apartment, hearing Randy and Mickie below Steve probably recognised them and chose to come out and 'save' them from the lads. Only this situation was much worse.
Mickie had been trying to make eye contact with Alice, but the girl was shifting her eyes around the room constantly, as though she expected something to happen any second, something which was not going to be good for her health. Mickie suspected she was here as some kind of sex slave, she must only have been nineteen and how she had ended up in here with these men was making Mickie feel angry. Steve was looking at her now and he let his eye travel up from her toes to her face and he smiled.
"You know I always thought, that you would look so much different in real life, you know without the makeup, the big hair, but you know even covered in dirt and in pyjamas you're still going to be worth a fortune." Steve said, he was almost rubbing his hands together with excitement. Mickie could not believe what he had said. What had started off as a complement had ended in something quite sinister. Mickie had no doubt in her mind that these men would not care what happened to them, that they did not see them as humans but as commodities to sell and that was caring her as much as the look in Steve's eyes.
Mickie looked at Randy and saw him already staring at her already. He was looking at her with what looked like desperate eyes. Mickie felt like her hope had just died, she thought that Randy might have had a plan, he always seemed to think of something, but it was not fair to assume that, to lay that at his door, maybe that was why he was looking at her, because he was hoping she would be able to get them out of this. Mickie turned her eyes away from Randy and back on to Steve who was finishing off his beer and Mickie clung on tight ot her un opened can.
"Hey come on guys drink up." Steve said realising that neither of his guests had touched their beer.
"I'll pass if that is ok." Randy said placing his beer on the floor at his feet. Steve did not change the look on his face but Mickie could feel the anger wash off him. "I wasn't asking buddy." Steve said and Tom gave a quite chuckle from the arm rest. Mickie did not even bother putting her can down she opened it and put it to her lips. Taking several deep swallows she actually felt better. Not in a good way though, she felt dirty for feeling better, as though she was a willing participant in all of this.
"Now that's what I am talking about." Daniel said coming over and sitting on the arm rest next to Mickie and placing a hand on the back of her neck. Randy sprang out of his chair and grabbed the guy by the wrist forcing him away from Mickie.
"Don't touch her." Randy said venom dripping from his voice.
"I think you need to let go of my friend there, or I may have an accident with this gun." Tom said as he place the revolver against Randy's temple. Randy let go of Daniel's arm and Daniel resumed his place next to Mickie on the arm of the sofa.
"I think we are going to have to watch this one." Steve said as Tom sat back down opposite them and looked at Randy as he took his seat. Randy could not look at Mickie, it wasn't because she was letting Daniel touch her because she had no choice, but it was making him sick to know that she was suffering and he could do nothing about it, and that things were going to get a heck of a lot worse when whoever they were being sold to turned up.
Mickie was trying to ignore Daniel's hand on the back of her neck gently squeezing her. She couldn't believe Randy wouldn't look at her, she needed him right now and he had looked away, did she disgust him that much?
"You know I wouldn't mind having a sample of the merchandise myself." Daniel said smiling at Mickie, but Mickie offered him nothing but a blank stare back.
"Easy Daniel you know the rules, that is unless you have a spare grand in your pocket." Steve said and they all laughed. Mickie could not believe what she was hearing, one thousand dollars what was that going to get these guys, she had her suspicions of course, but how did they know when to come, and who would be here. As far as she had seen, they had not phoned anyone, which was if the phones were even working, and how did they know these guys could even get here, they may be dead.
Randy was thinking something very similar, he suspected that they had already arranged some sort of time and were just awaiting their arrival, if however for some reason these folks didn't make it randy could see there would be an opportunity here to make some kind of deal. It was pretty obvious that these guys were far more interested in the money than actually doing anything with them. Maybe if he offered to pay for their freedom they might have a chance of being let go.
Mickie snapped her head up as the door opened and in walked two guys. She knew that these men were the ones they had been waiting for. There was no ignoring it now, they had managed to survive a major Earthquake only to be captured by some sadistic men intent on selling them as sex slaves, the irony was almost too much to take.
