Chapter 5
"Help us! Somebody please help us!"
Olivia wanted to scream shut up to the muffled voice that made her aching and heavy head hurt more. She hadn't drunk enough beers to make her feel this nauseous she couldn't help but think. Everything seemed so blurry. She couldn't help but groan, her head felt like it have a bunch of bricks tied to it.
"Olivia, Olivia wake up, wake up!" the same voice yelled forcefully.
"I'm awake." she replied, knowing her words were somewhat slurred.
She tired opening her eyes, she thought maybe she had at first but she quickly realized she hadn't. Finally she forced them open, blinking a few times. As soon as they were open properly she wished they weren't. She had no idea where she was but wherever it was it didn't look good. Then it all came back to her, why she wasn't at home anymore and why her head hurt so much and who the other person was.
"Ashley, Ashley honey are you okay?" she said, her words still slightly slurred but gradually becoming clearly.
She spotted Ashley sitting on a "bed" in the other corner of the dark damp room they were in. The only light in the room was coming from a low hanging bulb coming from the ceiling. It looked ready to fail anytime and even had droplets of water dripping from it. The whole room was wet and musty and freezing cold. As she spoke again Olivia could see her own breath infront of her.
"Ashley please…are you okay?" she asked more firmly.
Ashley sat with her legs folded tightly underneath her and her one arm held onto the other that was held up by rope tied to a pipe higher up on the wall. She looked very uncomfortable and iwas in obvious pain. She also had a blank look on her face, a look Olivia saw everyday on the victims that came to her for help. "My Uncle's dead." she said, barely audible.
"No sweetie he's not dead, he's in hospital and he wanted me to find you." Olivia told her hoping to cheer her up.
"Why did you come alone, we'll never get out of here now." Ashley said, her voice was so full of anger.
"It was all I could do to keep you safe." Olivia told her.
"Yeah well too late," Ashley said bitterly.
Olivia looked around the room again. The walls had mold growing on them and the floor had a thick carpet of dirt and grime on it too. Next she looked at the situation she was in. Somehow she hadn't even realized her hands were tied together infront of her. The think black cable tie was cutting into her skin so it really amazed her that she hadn't noticed sooner.
Slowly and very unsteadily she pushed herself up off the bed and walked over to Ashley and sat down next to her. The beds were thin metal frames with a dirty mattress placed on top that could have been no more than three or four inches thick. They offered no comfort what-so-ever and the metal springs dug into their flesh as they both sat there.
"What happened?" Ashley asked as she looked at Olivia, her eyes filled with tears and fear. "I thought Harris was in prison, you said we had him, they locked him up?" Ashley said sounding so confused and betrayed.
"Some people decided he shouldn't have been locked away." Olivia told her truthfully.
For a minute they were both silent as they both suddenly thought about just how bad a situation they were in. "I'm so scared Olivia." Ashley said as she began to cry.
With great difficulty Olivia hooked her arms over Ashley and pulled her close. "It's okay sweetheart I'm gonna get you out of here." she promised.
Suddenly there was a load bang followed by a scratching sound on the door, then followed by a click as the large metal door was unlocked. Quickly Olivia stood up and stood directly and protectively in front of Ashley who also tried to stand. They watched as Harris walked in, closed the door behind him and stood there with a baton, one like guards or police officers were given.
He slowly began walking towards them, slapping the baton down into the palm of his hand. What concerned Olivia the most was that Harris was wearing his prison guard's uniform; this really was like a prison now.
"Glad to see you're awake Detective, or do you prefer Olivia?" he asked her.
The mere sound of his voice grated on her and seeing him standing there, a smug smile on his face made her want to heave. "What ass-hole let you out?" she spat at him angrily.
"I guess one who decided that a whores word didn't mean jack-shit when it came down to it." he mocked.
"My mother wasn't a whore but you killed her anyway." Ashley screamed at him. "I hate you! I'm gonna kill you!" she continued.
Before Olivia could make her stop Harris was shoving her out of the way. She fell to the floor hard on her shoulder, so hard and now in so much pain she feared it may be dislocated. She looked round in time to see Harris smack Ashley across the head with the baton. She cringed, knowing from past experience how much that hurt. He quickly raised it up to hit her again.
"Lowell please don't! If you need to beat someone to feel like a man then beat me not a child." she ordered.
Harris looked down at Ashley who was already collapsed and unconscious on the bed, a small pool of blood now forming around her head. He then walked over to Olivia who was quickly trying to push herself up. She was quickly knocked back down as Harris slammed his foot into her side. She somehow managed to hold in her screams of pain as she felt her ribs crack and break. Suddenly she was being pulled up by her hair again by Harris before he slammed her against the wall, knocking the wind out of her. She had to try to take deep painful breaths to try and get her breath back.
Harris pressed his body against her so her aching body was now sandwiched between him and the cold moldy wall, her face pressing tightly against it. "I always knew you liked it rough. Every good whore does." Harris spat in her ear before stepping back and smacking the baton over her back.
She yelped in pain and would've fallen to the floor if Harris hadn't stood her up again only to hit her once more with the baton before letting her crumble to the floor.
He then walked back over to Ashley. Olivia heard him unzip his trousers and it made her feel even more sick, if at all possible. She looked over to see him getting himself ready for Ashley. "Don't…" she called out.
Surely enough he stopped and turned to face her, holding his stiffening member in his hand. Now she felt the bile rising in her throat. She took a deep breath and said, "Leave her alone. Just let her go." she said calmly.
"And why would I want to do that?" he asked.
"If you just let her go then I'll do whatever you want." she told him, hating to have to say the words but knowing it may be the only way to keep Ashley out of harms way. She'd suffered enough at the hands of Lowell Harris.
"Like what?" he asked her smugly.
"Whatever you want, but you have to let her go. Take her somewhere she'll be safe and where she can get help. Look at her you just practically crushed her skull in. She'll die if she stays here." she said as she continued to stay slumped against the wall, clutching her ribs.
Harris looked at her, thinking it over for a second. In all honesty his real vendetta was with Olivia not Ashley. Ashley was just some fun for him and he'd needed her only as bait really. He'd caught the fish he wanted now, why keep the maggot he thought to himself. "You'll do anything?" he asked her.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, knowing what her fate was about to be. "Anything." she clarified. She opened her eyes and looked up at his cold ones, waiting for his verdict.
He then walked over to her, his pulsing member hard and ready in his hand, and stood directly in front of her; just inches away from her face. She shut her eyes tight and silently prayed for a miracle, one she knew wasn't about to happen. She felt Harris's cold hands grab her face and begin to pull her forward, there was nothing she could do and what she had to do she was doing for Ashley…

Not a great chapter for Olivia and I'm not promising things will get any better just yet.
This chapter was pretty short but the next will be longer.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to leave a review!
Don't hate me for what's happening to Olivia. She'll get her revenge I promise.
