Used For Murder (Being Edited)

Chapter 3

“Charlie, it’s been ages,” A female’s voice came from behind Charlie, who immediately recognized the voice to be quite familiar, as the two officers tied Charlie’s feet to the legs of a large wooden chair; a tall, slim figured, blonde female strutted from behind Charlie.

“Vanessa, aren’t you supposed to be in jail for ten years? What do you want?” Charlie asked, beginning to grow quite irritated with Vanessa, as she smirked.

“They let me out for…being a good girl.” Vanessa hesitated, then bent down and looked into Charlie’s baby blue eyes, “That remains a surprise, babe. Did anyone ever tell you how cute you look when you’re angry?”

“Then I must be fucking adorable, because I’m furious.” Charlie said with an irritated tone to his voice.

“Aw, don’t be like that, baby.” Vanessa giggled, still quite close to Charlie’s face; she stroked Charlie’s cheek with her finger – he pulled away.

“Look, Vanessa; I don’t know what you want with me, but I haven’t done anything to you.” Charlie pointed to her, but before he could say any more – Vanessa kissed him, making him hold his hands up in surprise.

All Vanessa did was smirk, and then she called – turning toward a sharp corner, “Daddy, come help,”

A wide-weighted male came from around one of the corners – the one Vanessa was staring in the direction of – and all Charlie could do was mouth ‘wow’. The male stood next to Charlie with his arms folded over his chest.

“So, what’s he gonna do, sit on me?” Charlie smirked, but then Vanessa’s dad punched Charlie in the nose all too quickly because Charlie hadn’t seen it coming – although he should have.

“That’s for trying to be a smart ass.” Vanessa’s dad - who had a coarse, raspy voice - said, looking down on Charlie; Charlie cupped his now tender nose with his hands and yelled in agony.

“Boys,” Vanessa clicked her fingers for the two officers, who came over to her immediately; Vanessa pointed to Charlie’s muscular arms, “Tie his wrists too.”

The two men did as she had asked them; they tied Charlie’s wrists to the arms of the chair.

“So Charlie, still no idea on what I want you for?” Vanessa smirked as she sat contentedly sat on Charlie’s lap; Charlie – whose nose trickled with the smallest bit of blood, which Vanessa gleefully licked off his face – looked at her with a glare and a raised eyebrow, “I guess not,”

Vanessa stood up off Charlie’s lap as a male came from behind a massive plastic curtain with a cart – that was covered with a black cloth. Charlie recognized the male to be the same one that had dragged Charlie to the men’s toilets not long ago, but he now wore an identification badge and on it Charlie read ‘Jay’. Jay brought the cart over to Charlie’s right side, and then removed the cloth off the cart. Charlie’s eyes widened in horror and his heart began to thud against his chest, which Vanessa and the others didn’t notice, as he saw two needle syringes on a tray; one of the needle syringes had a cream coloured liquid in it and the other was an empty one.

Jay took the empty needle first, once he had found a comprehensible vein in Charlie’s forearm (quite close to the elbow joint – on the inside of his arm), and then stuck the needle into that vein. Jay took a full syringe of Charlie’s blood, before putting the full syringe carefully on to the test tube rack.

“Charlie boy, you’re looking a little pale.”  The two officers laughed; Vanessa glared at them and the both of them instantly shut up.

Jay then took the syringe with the liquid in it and put it in the exact same vein, pushing the liquid into Charlie’s body. Due to the effects of the unknown substance, Charlie went unconscious within half a minute to a minute.

While Charlie was unconscious, Vanessa whispered into Charlie’s ear, something the others couldn’t quite hear, “Charlie, I want you to go kill my ex-boss, Tyler Roberts. I want him DEAD; he mistreated me for the way I looked, and he always flirted with me, tried getting up my skirt. He treated me like filthy trash – he was a pig -. Plus he got me arrested for committing that crime you caught me doing two years ago.”

Vanessa kissed Charlie on the lips – which he couldn’t really feel – and he woke up in a trance-like state. Once Charlie had gotten up, Vanessa turned to the two officers, “Take him to his car. Rupert took it around the back.”

Robinson and Taylor obeyed Vanessa and took Charlie to his silver Land-rover. Once Charlie had driven off to the destination Vanessa had told him of, Vanessa told the officers to follow him to make sure Charlie did the job right.
