Chapter Sixteen

Piper

My stomach grumbles, and I know we’re beyond the full day mark now. Our bodies are becoming slack of energy, and I know dehydration is close by. If we do not get some liquids in us, we are going to be in some trouble. They have not brought us anything to eat, either. This tells me they don’t care if we live or die. It also means we were a warning of what is to come if the brothers don’t give these guys whatever it is that they want. This is a further example of why I wish Sniper would be more forthright with me when it comes down to club business.

My bladder feels full, but it isn’t. I am not peeing, so it could either be from the stress, or we have been here longer than my body and brain can process.

“Piper…” Jinx whispers. “Are you awake?”

I roll over to my other side and face her in the dark room. “I am,” I whisper back.

“I’m really cold,” she says with her teeth chattering together.

It is sad that I am cold, too, but I respond to it as if I am used to it, proof of how long I went mistreated in captivity.

“You’re wearin’ a T-shirt. Roll up into a ball and tuck your knees and arms inside your shirt,” I say softly. I listen to her rustle about and get situated. “It won’t help much, but it will some.”

Assholes had to take our pants. They want us cold, miserable, and fucking dying.

“You think the guys are looking for us,” she questions.

Deep down in my gut, I believe they are. At least I want that thought to be true, so I answer the same question she has asked a dozen times. “They are.”

The loud laughter above us quiets down, and I know we are about to get our second visit from one or more of the men upstairs. I hurry and demand that Jinx follows my directions.

“Roll over in your ball, and no matter what, don’t say a word. I am gonna take the attention off of you and put it onto me,” I hiss.

All right, Piper. Time to get an academy award for best acting. Game face on, Piper. Game face.

When the light floods the basement as the man opens the door, I use it to check on Jinx to see if she has followed my directions. I sigh quietly when I see her rolled up in a ball, facing towards the wall.

The door shuts, my light disappears, and the man stomps down the steps.

“Are you a fish?” he asks with a thick accent.

I’m glad I won’t have to look into his face. At least the darkness of this basement has one advantage to it.

“No! I’m not a goddamned fish. So if you expect a struggle, you ain’t gonna get it, motherfucker!”

There you go, girl. Make him angry. Keep his attention solely on you and away from Jinx.

The footsteps get closer to me, and before I can brace myself for what is to come, a boot lands on my rib cage and the breath escapes my lungs.
