Chapter 14

Casey had lost track of how long she’d been held captive. She hadn’t seen the light of day since she was brought underground. It felt like months, but she knew it must have only been weeks. She slept a lot. With nothing to do to pass the time, it seemed like the best way to conserve her strength. Her wrists were raw from her restraints and the constant pressure on them whenever she relaxed or fell asleep. Her steady diet of sushi was beginning to wear thin. She swore to herself that if she got out alive, she would never eat the stuff again.

Saligia was out again on yet another feeding frenzy, she figured without a doubt, Casey knew what that meant when she returned. It had become somewhat of a ritual, but this time was different. When Saligia returned, she had creams and sponges, with water and soap. She seemed a little edgy, and Casey decided to pretend she was asleep to avoid feeling her explosive anger if she displeased the crazy bitch.

“Wake up detective. I have a surprise for you.”

Casey lifted her head. “What are you doing?” she asked cautiously.

“I’m going to let you loose. You’re filthy. You need to clean yourself up. I’ve bought you some new clothes… well actually I stole them,” she blew her fringe out of her eyes, “Technicality,” she smiled. “No matter, they’re here and I brought them for you. I have water and soap and all sorts of goodies for you.” She turned to the General, “I’m sorry my love, but nothing for you this time. You have given me the silent treatment all week, so no surprises for you.” She poked her tongue out childishly at the skull.

She proceeded to release Casey, “If you try to run… well, let’s just say bone does not look good on you,” she pointed to the rotting mass in the corner.

Casey dropped to the ground. Her legs were feeble, her shoulders throbbed from being above her head for far too long and her hands tingled as the blood rushed back towards her starved fingertips.

“Oh come on, we don’t have all day. Here, I’ll help you.”

Saligia pulled her to her feet and helped her to the table. “Let’s get these filthy rags off you.”

Casey stood naked and cold as Saligia began roughly sponging her from head to toe with cold, soapy water. She’d long passed caring. She was getting clean and her hands were finally by her sides.

“Thank you.” she whispered.

Saligia stopped briefly, then continued to scour her with the cold sponge again. “Don’t thank me. Do you think I want to fuck you when you’re all dirty and smelly? I am a lady after all. Besides your rescuers are looking for you. We don’t want them to think you can’t take care of yourself, do we?”

The soap and water bit at Casey’s wrists. She feared infection was beginning to set in. Once Saligia was finished washing her, she dried her off then inspected Casey’s injuries.
