Sorry for the terrible delay! I've been distracted by another story... I'll try to post the next chapter soon! Thanks for reading!

Chapter 10

Ryan pov

I can feel the effect of the drugs vanishing, my head is a little clearer. I can still feel insects everywhere, but now I can't be sure if they are real or just a consequence of the hallucinations. This place smells really bad.

I finally can move, even if I realize that my hands are bounded.

Now that I can think with lucidity, I start thinking at a way out. I won't stay here, waiting to be saved; especially since I can't be sure someone is searching for me.

My body aches, but it it's helping fight the drowsiness.

From the fact that they used Tom as a bait and that they drugged me, I really suspect that whoever took me is involved in the death of the girl we found yesterday. If it's really like this, I'm in trouble.

They are really cruel people, and the FBI will be more distracted trying to catch them than worrying about me.

Danny seemed to care, but I only meet him yesterday. I can't expect anything, the more I expect, the more it'll hurt when I'm let down.

I will try to escape, maybe I can also help the other girl they captured.

After trying to find a way out for hours, now I'm really too tired and weak, I don't remember the last time I had something to eat or to drink.

The only progress is that I succeeded in freeing my hands, it's a very good thing, but if I stay stuck here it won't change anything.

If I have to admit it to myself, I still hope that Danny and the other will save me… I can't really avoid it.

After a few more hours, I really can't be sure because they took my watch, I hear something at the door.

A big man enter the room, I can't see him clearly because after a long time in the dark, the light is blinding me. He throws something on the floor in front of me an mutters something; then he kicks me and goes away.

Apparently I have a new friend. It's strange that he didn't even bother checking me, he didn't noticed my free hands.

I start touching the floor in front of me, it should be here… found it!

They left me a bottle of water, hopefully they don't want me to die, yet.

I'm about to drink, when I remember the drugs. Maybe drinking is not such a good idea. There's the possibility that its spiked, but after all the first time they couldn't have used water… It's so confusing!

In the end I decide to drink only a little bit of water, enough to soothe my thirst, but hopefully not enough for the drugs to affect me, if there's drugs in it.

I'm so tired of all of this.
