Voices brought Marc to alertness, pain shooting through his skull and arms. What happened?

“This won’t go down as easy as you think. I know him, man. He’s dangerous.”

“So are we.”

“Yeah. We should kill him.”

“Just make sure his ropes are tight!”

“This is going to go badly. I want to be sent out before Eibar gets here.”

“Fine!” The truck bounced harshly under angry hands.

Marc listened to the conversation through the thick fog of a concussion. As his stomach roiled, he twisted in time to avoid the mess. The stocky little brown guy sitting next to him wasn’t as lucky.

“Gross!”

“You son of a...” Thud!

Marc slumped over at the first retaliatory hit, unable to fight back yet.

“I said don’t kill him! He’s worth a lot of money.”

Marc stayed down on the seat, trying to keep from puking again. When he recovered, the men in this truck were going to find out what a mistake they’d made.

“How long to the meeting place?”

Marc vaguely recognized the voices, but his injury prevented him from placing them with names.

“Twenty minutes, but our buyer won’t be there until later. Chad wants our golden goose secured and waiting.”

Chad?! Marc’s stomach lurched again. It all makes sense now. He sprayed across the floorboard.

“Damn! Pull over!”

“No. Deal with it until we get there. The boss said no stops.”

It was a miserable ride for Marc, who now knew what the wolf had felt like while in the crate. He tried to stay still and get control of his guts, but the truck skidding and sliding over the rugged ranch road made it difficult.

“Is he alive?”

“For now.”

The trip felt much longer than it was. Every bounce of the truck was painful and nauseating. As they arrived, Marc once again vomited.

They aren’t using this truck for a while, he thought groggily.

“Pull him out!”

Marc was in no condition to resist as he was dragged from the backseat. Knees thumping against the ground, Marc groaned at the fresh waves of nausea. Vomit flew again.

“Yuck!”

Marc hit the ground hard as his escorts let go to avoid the mess. He continued to empty his stomach, now too dazed to make out the conversation going on around him. All he could tell was that there were multiple people. Their words blended to make his head pound and his eyes throb.

“Wipe him off,” a familiar voice instructed, chuckling. “He never could hold his guts.”

Marc was hauled and shoved into a small cabin surrounded by tall, blurry trees. He thought it was on the rear of Julia’s property, but couldn’t be certain yet.

The cabin was filthy. Layered in dirt and garbage, Marc assumed this was where Chad had been hiding when strangers came to the ranch. Inside the cabin were six big men who stood up menacingly as Marc was shoved toward a chair. He recognized two of them with faint anger.

A small kitchenette with a knife block beckoned from across the warm room, but Marc ignored it, knowing he would never make it through all of the men before he was shot or knocked out again.
