Hostage

Chapter 20

Anthony pulled me out of the car and onto the dock. The salty ocean air filled my lungs and made them ache. He pulled me onto a normal sized boat, not too over the top. Once we were on a middle aged man appeared.

"Are you ready to go sir" the man asked. The man looked at me and I saw in his eyes sympathy. But it disappeared when he looked at Anthony.

"Let's get going David" Anthony said as he pulled me to the back of the boat and we set down on a long white couch. Anthony leaned over to me and felt along my body. Then he kissed my cheek softly.

I sat very still "Just enjoy it" he cooed. I still didn't move, I didn't want to.

"Enjoy it" he growled, I felt his grip on my arm tighten and it started to hurt. I tried to pull it away but he pulled me to him.

He kissed my lips. The kisses got harder. I tried to push him away but he was stronger. His hands started pulling at my shirt.

"Sir, there is a problem" David interrupted.

"Well fix it" Anthony said through gritted teeth.

"I need your help sir" David said.

"I'll be back, to continue our little love session" Anthony whispered in my ear and walked away. I looked at my wrist I was still handcuffed with my left arm but the other was empty. I got up immediately and looked around. There was almost nothing to hide in. Then I saw it on the floor, a small hatch to below the ship. I gently lifted it and looked in. It was almost pitch black, it had boxes all over the floor and clothing hung up.

A closet?

From the looks of it, it was Davids closet. Anthony wouldn't have uniforms. I hopped in and shuffled around. I found two boxes and I wedged myself between them and pulled two boxes in front of me. I was almost invisible. I was shaking so much I could barely focus. I knew I was on a boat and eventually Anthony would find me, maybe even punish me but I wanted to hide so bad. I wanted to believe it would all go away. I listened closely. The bedroom where the closet probably is, was nearly silent but someone was softly talking on the phone.

"I guess, but I can't just stop it now" It must be David, Anthony's voice wasn't that deep.

"I'm sure she's trying to hide right now" Did he mean me?

"DAVID" Anthony's yell was loud even down here.

"In my quarters sir" David said. I heard steps thundering down the steps.

"Where is she" Anthony growled.

"The girl?"

"YES, WHO ELSE!?"

"I don't know where she could have gone" David sounded confused but I had the feeling he knew where I was.

"She's got to be on the boat" Anthony sounded really pissed. Good!

"If you don't tell me where she is, you will be severely punished. You remember what happened to Manny, this can only go bad for you if you don't tell me where she is" Anthony sneered. He opened the closet door and I sunk as close to the floor as I could go. I heard Anthony sniff, and then he looked in my corner.

"Sir I think i saw her in the dining hall" David touched his shoulder. Anthony turned to him and walked away.

"Do you need me to come too" David asked.

"NO! watch the cameras" Anthony pointed to a series of 5 screens on the wall. "She'll have to eat sometime" Anthony said as he walked out.

"Miss Cox" I heard someone whisper. It was David, I shrank back and hid.
