Chapter Six
Tony
When the pretty women started to ignore me at every opportunity, I knew it was time for me to be put to use for why I was brought here.
Two men came into my room, grabbed my arms and hauled me out between them. I closed my eyes and let them take me, my feet barely touching the floor.
I was thrown onto a chair, wrists and ankles strapped to the arms and legs of the chair. "You get the easy job" A woman said from behind me. I looked up at her, she was tall and looked too young to be a doctor despite looking like one. She gripped my head and turned me to look straight, the man standing a few inches away dropped the curtain down revealing a one way mirror.
There was a young child there, boy or girl I couldn't tell, tied down to a gurney with a piece of wood in their mouth. There was a man and woman in white coats and masks around their mouths. The man who had dropped the curtain came over to me putting a remote in my hands and stood to my right.
"All you do" The woman continued. "Is press the green button"
"And what happens?" I asked shakily.
"I can tell you what happens if it don't" The man grinned pushing my sleeve back, he wiped it down with a wet rag and then leaned down at the fireplace in the corner. He picked up a poker stick, sticking it in the fire and then brought it over to me.
"No, no" I tried to back away but the restraints were tight.
"Press it" The woman commanded. "Now"
The man lowered the poker stick and I just panicked and pressed it. The child's cry shattered the air. I opened my eyes to see the child's body shaking as the two coats pressed wires to the child's body.
"Again" The woman hissed in my ear.
"No" I screamed hissing at the man. "Do what the fuck you want to me, I'm not" I slacked my hand, the remote falling to the floor. He brought down the poker stick on my arm, I cried out at the pain of it but stubbornly shook my head. "I won't, kill me but I won't"
"Okay then" He took off the restraints and then the two men who brought me in brought me back out. "Take him to Building C" The woman told them.
We went down corridors and though doors until we were outside in the fresh air. I sucked in a breath of the cold air, shivering. It was freezing and it was dark, yellow lights lit up the area.
I lifted my head up to assess the place I was in, there were five buildings all stark, tall, wide and grey. Barbed wire enclosed the place, too tall to climb and looked too sturdy to knock down. "Don't think about it" One of the men hissed in my ear catching me looking. "Electric wires, they kill anyone who comes into contact with them" Trucks and cars lined the yard but there was no gates over the place to get in or out with.
We entered building C although there was no place where it stated that it was building C. It was the smallest building there.
We stood in front of the doors waiting for them to open. When we entered it was different to the place I had been in before with corridors of doors after doors, this one only had two floors. The first floor was rock hard floors with two massive drops that made two small arenas. I was ushered up the stairs to the second floor, through another door into one long wide corridor with rooms lining either side.
"Your new home" The men dropped me into one of the rooms. This one was of the same rock hard floors with one mattress on the floor. It reminded me of a prison cell only much bigger.
One of the men caught my foot as they dropped me in there, before I could violently pull it back he already stuck the needle in and I passed out.
ooo
"Morning Anthony" A man threw open the door not long after I had woken up. The room was different to my last one, wasn't that horrible glaring white colour, it was just plain. The man didn't look as attractive as the other men and women in the other building.
He started to step into the room and I shrank back against the wall but then a hand reached out and stopped him.
"I'll take it from here Lee, your only scaring the guy"
Lee glared at the man who interrupted him but never the less stepped back. The second man came into the room who looked more welcoming wrapped an arm around my shoulders and walked me out. I had to lean against him as I found it hard to walk, my limbs feeling weak.
We went down the corridor and into the end door. It opened up into the largest bathroom I saw and was the best looking room I'd seen. There was a gigantic bath right in the middle of the room, toilets lined another end while the opposite was showers. It was empty.
He dragged me into one of the showers, attaching my wrists to the hook on the wall. I didn't say anything as he slowly began to strip my clothes off me. "I'm just getting you clean" The man said. "My name's Greg"
Greg turned on the shower once he had all my clothes, the water sprayed gently on my skin. He got a slab of soap, rubbing it into the clean rag he had and with a soft touch that didn't linger he ran it over my body.
Once the soap had washed off, he started on washing my hair. Once I was clean he wrapped me up in a fluffy white towel and sat me down on one of the steps leading up to the bath.
"I'm sorry about this" Greg said to me running a hand through my hair in a comforting manner. "Lee is just what he looks like, he likes to rape all the new ones" Greg shuddered.
"You don't?" I asked.
"God no" Greg looked horror stricken.
"Then why are you here?"
Greg leaned away from me, picking at his fingers. "I am just a worker" He said staring straight ahead. "Just a worker"
"What's going on here?" A woman's voice cut through the room.
Greg stood up immediately. "I was just getting the boy cleaned up, madam"
"Then why is he not dressed and why are you sitting talking to him?"
"I'm sorry" Greg ducked his head. "It was just Lee-"
"Lee" The woman interrupted. "Only understandable, get my grandson dressed and then feed him"
I snap my head up at that, grandson?" I stared across at her, not recognizing her at all. Had my dad put me in here?
"You-you're-grandson?" Greg stuttered staring at me with a horrified expression. "I didn't know"
Greg pulled me up and ushered me over to where a stack of drawers were. He dressed me in a white t-shirt and grey jogging bottoms. She was still standing by the door, she opened it and we were about to pass through when I recognized her. Then I remembered.
Suddenly Greg did not seem to be there anymore and I collapsed to the ground. "Why?" I looked up at her. She was the prettiest woman I ever came across but she had a cold look in her eyes.
"Because" She said as Greg pulled me off the floor. "Your father needs the help"
"He never mentioned you"
"That's because he was trying to hide from me" She cupped my chin in her hand, I flinched as she caressed my cheek. "He needs my help but he would never admit it" She shook her head slowly in disbelief. "Be stronger then your father Anthony Junior"
"Fuck you" I shouted. Her eyes darkened, she grabbed my arm hard and pulled me away from Greg. She shoved me up against the wall outside hard that I heard my body smack into the wall.
"Turns out someone needs a bit more breaking" She announced and then I was surrounded by three men. One of them punched the side of my head and I fell to the ground. Kicks landed on me and punches rained down. I cried, I screamed, I begged to no avail, just as it seemed I would pass out from the pain it stopped.
I heard voices talking in the background and then they threw Greg down on his knees beside me. "Greggy, greggy" One of the men shook his head. "Don't you know how to do your job properly? You are not a therapist, these kids are not for you to cuddle and coo over"
"I'm sorry" Greg looked over the men's shoulders to where "my grandmother" was standing.
"Shut up" One of the men kicked him, Greg still managed to stay upright. "Now why don't you do your job?"
"I will, I will. I won't ever talk to him again"
"Sorry greggy but I didn't mean your usual kind of job. You've worked here long enough, surely you know how to break a kid in by now?"
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, sorry for long delay, exams called are still calling actullary. Just one left, woo hoo!
