(78): Escape Plan

"Let me fucking go!" I scream as loud as I can squirming as the guy tries to tie me to the chair again.

"Stop moving" He hisses.

I don't stop; I kick around, I scream, I fight. If I'm dying, I'm gonna die trying. I'm done crying and feeling weak. I'm a strong girl, I'm going to fight.

"Fuck, someone come help me with this one" The guy yells through the door.

Good.

A second later another guy walks in, who's as big as this one.

"You're struggling with this tiny thing?" He asks the other one.

"Shut up, Keith. She's clawing at me like a fucking bear. Help me out and stop speaking so fucking much" He snaps.

'Keith' looks at me before shaking his head "Stay still little kitten"

Kitten.

"Don't call me that" I bite.

He laughs harshly "I'll call you anything I want. And don't talk to me like that. I could break you like a twig right now"

This shuts me up.

They manage to tie me down again, with me fighting way less because Keith keeps giving me scary ass glares. What? He's scary.

"That's how you deal with a bitch" He says arrogantly.

I bite my tongue.

"Fuck you" The other guy curses.

"Do you guys know Kyle?" I ask suddenly.

Keith gives me a weird look "Why are you asking us that?"

"Because I want to know"

"Yes we do" The other guy replies "We've known him since he was a little boy. We're loyal workers of his father"

He's the nice one.

"Why does his father want to harm him?"

"Because he thinks he's better than us. He thinks he's too good to be in a gang like us. Now shut up and stop asking useless questions" Keith hisses "You know he's still not up, thanks to you"

I can't help but smirk.

"Oh this is funny?" He taunts and I quickly wipe the smirk off my face "I hope it'll be just as funny when he blows your brains out because we all know Kyle is not signing that contract."

I gulp scared.

"I'm hungry" I say instead.

"So what? We're leaving" Keith dismisses me and shoots a look at the other guy "Lets go, Daniel"

That's his name.

"She's hungry"

"So the fuck what? Our job is to make sure she doesn't escape, not fucking feed her" He retorts brashly.

Daniel sighs giving me an almost apologetic look. He's so sweet (kind of).

"Let's fucking go" Keith hisses.

Then they both leave. Great.

I really hope Kyle is coming soon because I'm about to lose my sanity in here. I'm literally just tied to a chair in an empty room. Who the fuck does that? I want to go home. I groan loudly, trying to break free from these stupid ropes but it obviously does work. They hurt so bad. Everything does.

"Well well well, alone at last"

It's Bones. Oh god, his voice is so chilling and horrible. Those tattoos are so scary.

I squirm "Leave me alone"

He comes in, a huge menacing grin on his face, and takes a seat on the chair opposite me that Mr Chambers was sitting on a while ago.

"You sure are a fighter, kitten" He praises.

I bite my tongue, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction from me.

"Are you glad to see me again?" He asks and I keep quiet. He growls loudly, looking annoyed "I expect an answer when I ask you something. I said are you glad to see me again?"

I gulp "No"

"Good, you shouldn't be" He smirks devilishly, looking at me like I'm his prey "I've been dying to get my hands on you"

Oh god no.

"Don't touch me" I croak.

"Don't touch you?" He laughs bitterly craning his neck "Remember when your little boyfriend punched me because of you? We can call it even after this"

I feel tears escape my eyes. I'm so scared. God, can he please not put his dirty hands on me.

"Please don't touch me" I beg.

"Aww" He coos grinning "The little kitten is scared. I won't hurt you. Matter of fact, I have a feeling we'll both enjoy this"

"No, please" I cry.

He stands up and I shut my eyes, the hot tears running faster and rapidly down my face. Please God. Please. I feel his hand touch my jacket-covered shoulder and I flinch.

"How about we take this off?"

"No, please" I croak, my voice shaky.

He laughs and I feel his cigarette breath closer to me. I don't want to open my eyes. I don't want to see his disgusting face. I don't want him to see just how scared I am.

"I think we should" He coaxes.

I start to squirm but there's not really much I can do because both my feet and hands are tied. I feel him taking it off and I start to sob to the point that I feel like throwing up.

This is not happening to me.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Bones stops immediately and I open my eyes to see a very familiar faces shooting daggers at him. It's Zach. I don't whether to feel relieved or not. What if he's on his father's side on this one? I can't be too sure.

"What are you doing here?" Bones bites back moving away from me and I let out the breath I had been holding in.

"This is my father's place" He retorts.

"You're not supposed to be here"

"So the fuck what? Do you want me to tell my father what you were about to do? Get the fuck out of here, you sick bustard" Zach bites and even though he's not speaking to me, I feel fear running down my spine.

Damn, the Chambers men are scary.

Bones curses under his breath "Fine"

And with that he walks away, much to my relief.

"You good?" Zach asks walking closer to me and I nod "What happened here?"

He grabs a tissue from his pocket and proceeds to wipe my face. I think he's on my side on this one. Thank god.

"Thank you" I croak "Uhm, there was a roadblock just a few minutes before I reached the apartment and some officer told me to take another route. It was a deserted one and I was the only one there. I was about to take a turn but your father beat me to it then Bones dragged me with him, poisoned me and I ended up here" I explain.

"Jefferson Chambers never fails to amaze me" He whispers underneath his breath shaking his head "Did he say what he wanted?"

"He wants Kyle to sign the contract or he's going to blow my brains out" I reply.

He runs a hand through his hair "Jesus"

"Are you on my side?" I find myself asking, just above a whisper. I have to make sure.

"Something like that"

I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Listen, whatever we have to do, we have to do it fast. It won't take him long to catch on that I'm working with Kyle and I'm afraid he'll kill the both of us if he does" He says seriously.

How assuring.

"Okay" I croak.

"Stay put, yeah? I just need to make sure the coast is clear or something"

"Where's Kyle?" I ask.

"He couldn't come. It was going to be obvious that I told him"

"Can I call him?"

He looks hesitant before saying "Okay, I'll have to untie you though. If you hear footsteps, you tuck the phone under you and act like you're still tied. It will probably be me but just do it incase"

I nod quickly "Okay"

"I heard dad's still out. Good job on that by the way" He praises, a small smirk on his lips.

"Thanks"

He unties my hands and gives me his phone "Remember. I'll be back"

"Got it"

He's gone and I quickly locate Kyle's phone number before dialing it.

"Did you find her?" Is the first thing he says.

"He did. Hi" I croak, a small smile breaking out at the sound of his voice.

"Baby?" He questions.

I nod even though he can't see me "Yeah"

"God" I hear him breathe, sounding relieved "Are you okay? Are you hurt? You didn't sound too good earlier"

"Not really. Just tied to a chair"

"Jesus" He sighs and I can imagine him running a hand through his hair like he does "I'm sorry, okay? I feel like absolute shit right now knowing you're in harms way because of me"

"It's not your fault, Kyle" I plea.

"But it is. Fuck, I feel so fucking helpless and I don't know what to do. I just want you to be safe. I love you" His voice sounds so desperate and vulnerable.

"I'm okay, I'll be okay"

I hear him sigh loudly "Okay so Zach found you right?"

"Yes"

"I know he's not your favorite person but I need you to trust him. He's on my side, okay?"

"I know"

"I promise you'll get out of there safely. I just need you to be strong for me, okay baby?"

"Okay" I croak.

"Sorry I couldn't come. Zach and I agreed that it wouldn't be a smart thing to do. I do wish I was there though"

"I wish you were here too but at least I get to hear your voice" I reply softly.

"I still feel bad"

"Shh" I coax, wishing that I was kissing him right now "I love you"

I start to hear footsteps...

"Kyle, I have to go okay?" I say quickly and hang up before he can say anything. I tuck the phone under me so I'm sitting on it and take my hands behind the chair so it looks like they're tied.

Deep breaths.

"Just checking up" Comes the rude guy's voice, Keith, as he peeps his head in the room.

That was close.

"I'm good" I squeak.

"You were talking to someone? Who were you talking to?" He accuses sharply, walking closer to me.

Oh no.

"Talking?" I play stupid.

He nods impatiently "Yes. I heard your voice. Who were you talking to?"

"I was singing" I lie, my palms sweating.

"Yeah, and I'm fucking Donald Trump" He says drily "Do you think I'm stupid, little kitten? Who the fuck where you talking to? Tell me now before I lose it" He threatens menacingly.

"Is there a problem here?"

Thank God.

I look in front of me to see Zach watching us and Keith quickly steps away from me. The boss' son. They probably respect and fear him as much as his father. Good.

"No. Just checking up on her" He says.

"Okay, I got it from here. Thank you" He dismisses him.

"The boss didn't tell us you were coming in today" Keith replies, a hint of fear in his voice that I actually almost laugh.

"So?" Zach bites.

Keith purses his lips "Nothing. I'll, uh, leave you"

And with that he walks away.

"You good?" Zach asks as he hands me a plastic bag which I'm guessing has food or something.

I nod taking it "Yes, thank you"

I open and I sigh happily when I'm greeted by a sandwich. I was really hungry. I take it out and start munching, not being able to control myself. I see Zach looking at me amused.

"You'll need energy for this" He says.

"Why are you helping me?" I blurt uncontrollably, not being able to help myself.

He raises a brow before shrugging "Kyle"

"Why are you helping him?"

"Because he's my brother" He replies matter-of-factly but it's not too convincing.

"And Jef's your father but you're betraying him" I reply with the same tone "So I need a more... sensible answer please"

He sighs "I can see why he likes you"

"You can?" I drawl taken aback before snapping back to reality "Wait, don't change the subject. Tell me why you're helping Kyle"

"I don't have to tell you" He rolls his eyes.

"But you want to"

"Fine, I'm helping the asshole because I feel bad for all the shit I've put him through, okay? Plus I kind of hate my father too; he's not a good person. Are you happy now, Chelsea?"

"Yeah, very happy"

His face softens lightly and I almost think I'm seeing thing "And because I owe you. You helped us find our sister and I could never thank you enough for that. I'm also kind of making up for treating you like shit. I was angry. So yeah, uh, we can be even after this"

I'm so taken aback by his response that I can't help but smile.

"Okay, I trust you now" I reply.

"Oh so you were just following me blindly?" He accuses jokingly.

I shrug "Well, Kyle told me to trust you but now I do on my own free will. I don't trust easily, you know?"

"I'm honored" He replies drily; amused.

I laugh softly "You're not that bad when you're not being an asshole. I don't know why Kyle still doesn't like you"

"Because I'm always an asshole to him" He snorts "He is to me too. It's our thing"

I wrinkle my nose "You guys are weird."

I can't actually believe I'm having a civil conversation with theee Zach 'Zorro' Chambers. The guy who kidnapped me twice, had a gun pressed against my head and had me living in fear. We're actually speaking. He somehow reminds of me Riley when he's being this nice, not just because he's literally the male version of her.

This is getting weirder and weirder.

"Okay, finish up. We don't have much time" He says and I remember the sandwich in my hand and quickly get to it.

"What's the plan?" I ask when I'm done.

"We're just going to get you out of here" He says simply and I wait for him to elaborate but he never does.

"Is it that easy?"

He shrugs "It should be. Everything I say goes so I'll just say dad told me to take elsewhere"

"What if he's up?" I bite my lip nervously.

"Well we better pray he's not because that will be the end of both our lives" He says nonchalantly as if telling me about his day.

I gape "Zach"

"Do you have a better idea?"

"No but I don't want to die. You look more than happy to" I reply flustered.

"What's meant to be will be"

This guy.

"Does Kyle know that you're risking both our lives in this master plan of yours?" I accuse "I don't know about this"

He runs a hand down his face looking annoyed at me "Please cooperate"

"Fine. Untie my feet then" I give in.

He does that quickly and soon I'm standing up. I stretch lightly since my body was kind of feeling numb. I look at my wrist and ankles to see that they have red line marks on them. They both still hurt but I ignore it.

"Come on, lets go" He beckons.

I say one more prayer before following him out of the tiny room and see the many passages again that I saw when I was running away from Jef. What is this place? I wonder if there are other prisoners such as myself in the other rooms. The thought alone sends chills down my spine.

"Sorry uh," It's the nice guy, Daniel, who stops me as I'm about to make a turn. I almost stop breathing but I remember that I'm walking with Zach.

"Yes?" He replies.

"Where are you taking her? Boss didn't give us orders to let her go" He replies looking at me.

"She needs the bathroom" Zach lies.

Daniel evidently looks skeptical "Boss would tell us if she did. He strictly gave us orders to keep her in that room until further notice. I don't want trouble"

"I'm the boss too, aren't I?" He bites.

"Yes, uh but-" He stutters.

"Move, D, she really needs to go, okay? She'll be back" Zach dismisses him, leaving no room for argument and he sighs dreadfully before moving out of the way and letting us through.

That was easy. Kind of.

I let out a breath "What if he gets in trouble with your father?"

"Don't care" Zach replies.

Okay then.

We carry on walking for a few seconds until Zach stops suddenly and turns to me.

"You know, that might just work better"

I scrunch my face up in confusion "What are you talking about?"

"In the bathroom. There's a window. You could escape through there. I think we have a better chance at that than using the main door" He tells me thoughtfully.

"Are you sure?"

He nods quickly "Yeah, come on, lets go"

I follow him and we're basically speed walking. We bump into another security there and he stops us.

"Isn't this the girl Mr Chambers said couldn't leave the room?" He questions.

"She needs the bathroom" Zach answers.

"I don't know, man" He trails.

Zach gives him a stern look "Don't know what? Move. I'll even come in with her"

This seems to reassure him because he moves.

I follow him inside the bathroom and he shuts the door before we enter a stall. I immediately notice an open window but it's so far up that I gulp scared.

"After I help you up, we'll meet outside"

I swallow "Okay"

He takes a deep breath, looking to stretch himself before crouching down and I look at him confused.

"Climb on my shoulders. I don't if you've noticed but I'm kind of tall and I can get you up there"

Yeah, I've noticed. He's really tall.

"Don't drop me" I warn.

"Shut up and hurry"

I groan under my breath but quickly hop onto his shoulders with my feet wobbling a bit, I gain leverage so I'm not too heavy on him and he manages to push me up as I grab the window seal tight with both of my hands, my knuckles turning white. I push myself up so I have more balance and am off of his shoulders.

"You good?" He looks up at me.

I nod groaning "Yeah, I think so"

And then everything happens in slow motion.

Before I can start my journey of climbing down to the other side, the door burst open loudly almost making me lose my hold and fall off.

"One move and he's dead"

I look down dreadfully to see a gun pressed against Zach's head with his hands up in surrender. Oh god.

It's Mr Chambers.
