CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Alex awoke from her nightmare with a start, her body jerking violently, as the vivid images of being restrained in a cold, dark prison cell slowly fled from her mind. She tried to move, but felt the restraints tugging at her skin.

So much for it all being a bad dream, she thought.

Her brain still felt more than a bit sluggish, as if her thoughts were being muffled inside her head. She chalked it off to being the lingering after-effects of whatever drug they had used to knock her out.

Everything was quite now. The voices she thought she had heard previously were gone now and she was acutely aware of the fact that she had absolutely no time reference to go by.

Was it day or night? she wondered. Hell, for that matter, was it even the same day or another?

Without any warning she heard the familiar snap of a Zippo lighter. The sound immediately sent a chill throughout her body, as she realized someone else was in the room with her. She struggled in vain against the restraints, as fear coursed through her body. Then she caught a whiff of smoke in the air.

While she couldn’t see, it was as if every other one of her senses had been kicked into overdrive. She could hear the sound of the rolling paper burning, as whoever it was took a drag on the cigarette. Then she heard the slow, deliberate exhale and once agent the pungent aroma of the burnt tobacco filled her nostrils.

If they were watching her then they would have known she was awake. They would have seen her body pulling against the restraints that held her in place.

They’re toying with you.

Time passed by agonizingly slow until she heard the sound of the cigarette being crushed out.

A moment later she felt something brush against the back of her head and without any warning the hood was removed. Immediately she shut her eyes tightly as the overhead ceiling light blinded her. It felt like an interminably long time before she was able to slowly reopen them in an attempt to identify her captor. It was only when she was finally able to open them that she understood the true extent of her situation.

“Hey, baby,” Tatiana cooed.

As Alex watched, the women leaned over and undid the gag, then slowly removed the large, ball shaped device from her mouth. She fought the urge to scream as she knew it was probably pointless. The woman would have never removed it if there was anyone nearby that could have heard her.

Her immediate instinct was to say something smart, but her jaw ached and she was incredibly thirsty. Tatiana must have sensed her distress, because she reached down, picking up a bottle of water and opened it.

Tatiana leaned over, guiding the opening of the bottle toward Alex’s mouth, but she recoiled.

“Oh, stop,” Tatiana said admonishingly. “Do you really think I’d knock you out again after waiting all this time for you to wake up?”

Alex watched as the woman took a sip from the bottle.
