Hi all...
About time I circled back to the site...
been away for waaay too long, I hope you enjoy this!
Chapter 13
I shook my head around trying to shake the cloth bag off, but to no avail.
I kept shouting into my gag and banging on the trunk sides, I could faintly hear traffic outside, we were among other people, maybe just maybe... YES!
âMMMPPPHHHâ, I kicked my legs slamming them into the side of the car.
I listened in despair as the traffic subsided, I guessed we left the main roads and headed somewhere secluded.
I didnât have to wait long as the car came to a stop. I heard doors slam and muffled voices barking orders.
After an initial commotion outside, things grew deadly silent. Did they forget I was in here? I froze trying to determine where I was. A sound? A smell⊠yes, I know that smell, ocean air.
We are back at the docks, where it all started.
The docks⊠fuck!
If Caleb was my capturer, then I was in serious trouble.
I refocused my attempts to try and get free, but there was no way. The cuffs were tight and there was no way I was gonna escape.
âHhmmmppppâ I whimpered into my gag as the pain shot up my arm as I twisted my wrists trying to free it.
With a sudden burst of fresh air, the car trunk popped open.
Hands grabbed me and ruthlessly pulled me out of the trunk, dropped me onto the boardwalk.
I struggled onto my knees, whipping my head around trying to see my captors, I heard about five guys around me, one set of footsteps made their way to me, and pulled the cloth hood off my face.
I squinted trying to adjust to the light.
âHi.â
Caleb!
My heart fell into my stomach as the entirety of my situation hit home. I heard the waves crashing, there was only one reason McDougle clan brought men to the docks⊠to make them disappear.
I jumped as I felt hands grabbing my ankles and wrapping the chains around them.
I looked up at Caleb, my eyes pleading. âMmppppphhhhâ I shook my head trying to find any semblance of mercy, but Caleb just lit his cig, and looked at me with a grin.
âThe deal was you would vanish. I donât know how you got away from De Luga, but you wonât get away from me.â Caleb went onto one knee right in front of me, then took my chin in his hand. âDonât think about it too much, there was nothing you could do about it. And itâs not your fault, you are just an obstacle in the way of the McDougle clan reaching new heights, our clan needs a strong and clearheaded leader.â He smirked, âAnd thatâs me.â
Our eyes connected and for a single moment I thought I saw some regret in his eyes, he stood up cleared his throat and signalled with his hand.
Someone grabbed the chains wrapped around my ankles and connected to large concrete bricks.
I started squirming, trying to get away from the threat, but there was nothing I could do, I squirmed trying to crawl away but once the chains pulled tight, I couldnât move further away.
âMppppphhhâ I looked up into the eyes of the men standing around me. There was a somber silence hanging in the air broken only by the rattling of the chains.
Tommy, Greg, Mica⊠they all averted their gazes.
âDo it.â came Calebs stark order.
No one moved.
âI said, toss him.â
Once again, no movement except for me trying to crawl away from two concrete blocks holding me down.
âNo one?â asked Caleb into the night, âFine Iâll do it myself.â Caleb grabbed me and picked me up. I thrashed in my bonds trying to break free. âThe bricks Greg.â
Greg grabbed the bricks.
We moved closer to the edge.
âMmpppp hghghfaaaaâ I was screaming thrashing this canât be happening.
Everything grew silent as I felt gravity pull me down.
Water hit my face before I could pull in a breath. I sputtered as the concrete pulled me down into the depths.
I thrashed as I lost sight of the lights above.
I held my breath, hoping for a miracle or a quick death.
Then it happenedâŠ
I felt strong hands grab my arms, I looked around and saw a man swimming beside me.
âMmmpppâ I screamed, precious air escaping through my nose.
The hands deftly unwrapped the tape from my face as we continued sinking to the depths.
The last tape came off my mouth and I spat out whatever was stuffed inside.
I felt lips lock onto mine and felt a breath rushing into my lungs. Some respiteâŠ
I squirmed again kicking at the chains around my ankles. the hands grabbed my legs and I felt them working on the chains. I kicked trying to help whoever was down there, and by some miracle I felt my ankles slip free. I started swimming up, but the stranger pulled me down.
I felt him guiding me in a direction.
My lungs started burning as my oxygen depleted.
I fought the urge, but my brain took over, I opened my mouth and felt water rushing into my lungsâŠ
My eyes lost focusâŠ
All I felt was someone pushing my chest, âAAAAAAAHHHHHHHâ I screamed as I felt the water being pushed out.
I coughed up water and sat up looking around me. We were on a sandy beach, in the distance I could see the piers and the docks.
I wiped tears from eyes with my shoulder, trying to see my rescuer.
I recognized himâŠ
âHow? Why?â I asked still coughing water out of my lungs.
âI told you, you belong to me now.â Vinny looked at me. He was wearing a small black speedo, his huge member straining in its confines.
I twisted around; my wrists still cuffed behind my back. He stepped up and investigated it. âCanât get these off here. Need to go home.â
My mind was still reeling from the near-death experience I just had but Vinny seemed unphased. âI told you I would never let anything happen to you.â Vinny stepped up to me, his body tense, domination written over his entire demeanor. âDo you see? Thatâs the other future you have.â
âI, IâŠâ my mind went blank.
âExactly. Can't you see, I am trying to save you boy. I knew about Calebâs plans from the start. I knew he wanted to take you out, thatâs why I suggested to him, that I have you instead.â There was some dominant tone in his voice but it barely concealed the concerned undertone.
My mind reeled as I comprehended the depth of what he just said.
âI know... I know this isnât what you saw in your future Connor, butâŠâ Vinny paused, âbut consider the alternative.â
My body started shivering uncontrollably. My eyes felt red, and tears were crawling over my wet cheeks.
I felt Vinny wrap himself around me. His body warmth crawling into mine.
He picked me up and carried me across the beach. We reached his car and he got towels and started drying me, taking special tender care. I kept looking at the floor averting his gaze.
Vinny placed his fingers under my chin, lifting my face to his, âHey boy. Iâm glad you are ok.â He leaned in and placed a warm kiss on my cold lips. I felt my world slip away as he brushed my hair out of my face, âReady to go home?â
âMhm.â I nodded.
Inexplicably I found myself walking to the trunk of his car, he popped it open.
âGood boy.â
I lay among warm towels as we drove back to Vinnyâs place, as we drove back to my servitude.
I really didnât have a choice did I?
