Flynn calmly stepped off the freight elevator. At least he gave the outward appearance of being calm. Inside he was wondering if he would ever be allowed to even walk away from this nightmare alive. They walked down a hall and through a padlocked door. Then they entered a big open area. There were no windows. On the floor against a cinder block wall was Taylor. Slumped, still unconscious, hands cuffed. Then Flynn noticed the blood trickling from Taylor's lip. Outraged, he shouted at them, "You hit him while he's out? How dare you strike him when he's unconscious. What kind of animals are you ?" The three men broke out laughing, then shoved Flynn in a chair and quickly cuffed his hand behind him and then cuffing those cuffs to his ankles. His muscles screamed in protest but there was nothing he could do. The guy who had taken Flynn out came over to him and asked how long Taylor would be out. Flynn said 6-8 hours. The man cursed savagely and then walked over to Taylor and savagely kicked his ribs." Flynn gasped in horror. This was disgusting and barbaric. He heard the freight elevator somewhere behind him. The sound of the gate opening was unmistakable. No one came into the big open area where Taylor and he were being held. Flynn eventually closed his eyes and waited wearily. Ana woke up in the dark. The floor beneath her was cold, hard and dirty. She slowly sat up, trying to see in the dark and ears cocked to hear the slightest sound. After a while, she was sure she was alone. She stood and abruptly realized her shoes were gone. She could just make out the door from the crack of light around it. She approached it nervously. After listening for an eternity, she felt for the door knob and twisted it ever do gently. She needn't have bothered. It was locked. What was Christian up to? She was sure he would never hurt her or allow anyone else to hurt her, but then why the hell was she here? As confident as she was that Christian would never allow anyone to hurt her, she was unsure just how far he would go when it came to Taylor. If he truly believed Taylor seduced her and had an intimate relationship with her, his sense of betrayal and need for control could easily drive him over the edge. As it was right now, if he were sitting across from her and she told him the truth about everything he probably wouldn't believe a word she said. He was caught up in all his fucked up fifty shades. He would be cold and uncaring and thinking only of vengence. He would be untouchable, unreachable, impassive and decisive. How the hell was she going to melt that block of ice and find her Christian?
