Vicious Cycle

21

"Today is the day." Thomas said rubbing his hands across Miranda's ass.

"Yess this is what I'm been waiting for." Miranda chimed.

"Ride with me and we can go to the warehouse now." Thomas said.

Miranda nodded. "Okay I just have to go to the bathroom and I'll be ready."

"Wear a dress that will really kill him." Thomas said.

"Will do baby." Miranda replied.

Miranda put on a black dress. She took out the brand new tactical desert Warrior Boker strike automatic knife and she folded it putting it in band of her panties making sure it was secure.

"Okay, I'm ready to do this." Miranda called out as she walked out of her bedroom and she laced her hands with his.

While in the car Miranda thought about the best way to kill Thomas and the surgeon in her came up with his throat.

She knew that severing the trachea (wind pipe) generally below the larynx would prevent screaming and yelling. Second, It severs the carotid artery preventing new oxygenated blood from reaching the brain, so he would fall unconscious and Lastly, it severs the jugular vein allowing blood to easily flow from the brain.

She knew that this wouldn't be like the movies. This would be even more gruesome to see in person but she was prepared to do anything.

When they pulled up to the warehouse, Miranda quickly shared her location. They already knew that once she given them the location that she was going to go inside and they would wait for the word to proceed.

Miranda walked inside and the men patted her body down. They took out the metal detector.

It went off at her watch and Miranda began to get nervous. They traveled down her body and it went off right at her area.

"My vagina is pierced and if you are nice, you might get to see it." Miranda winked trying to hide her nerves. Hopping they didn't want to strip search her. Thomas chuckled and licked his lips. "I do want to see that." He commented giving her a sly smile.

"That can be arranged tonight to celebrate." Miranda quipped.

After leaving her phone with them, Miranda followed them down the long hall ways until they got to a metal door with a little window.

The man took out the keys and unlocked the door. Miranda and Thomas walked inside and Miranda heard the clink behind them.

"Hey Ben. Miranda is so sexy. I couldn't wait to make her mine." Thomas called out walking further into the room.

"Don't hurt her." Ben growled.

"Oh now you want to talk. You've been silent for days." Thomas replied harshly. "Baby come here." Thomas called out and Miranda put on the best smile that she could.

Miranda walked into the light and she looked at Ben with a smile.

"Miranda....Miranda no." Ben stated hurt.

Miranda looked into Ben's eyes and she looked over his face. She wanted to cry and reach out to him. His eye was swollen and dark. There was a scrape above his cheek and his lip was busted. She could tell they roughed him up while he was in this chair. He was soaking wet so, she assumed he was water boarded.

Miranda felt so horrible and angry. Furious that they would do this to him. He was the love of her life and they tortured him. She was out for blood and it was the only thing that would make her feel better was to make them pay.

Miranda couldn't help but to look at Ben's arms. She saw that he had gotten both arms whole sleeves tattoos. On the right arm she recognized the praying hands, a dove, roses, clouds, there were dates and words that she couldn't recognize yet. She looked to the other side and saw that it was completely opposite from the right arms. This arm had skulls and a crow, tomb stones and more. It was like a light versus dark and it fit him.
She found it sexy.

Miranda didn't spare Ben another glance needing to play her role. She laced her hands with Thomas and gave him a smile.

Ben was heart broken yet again after seeing Miranda appear and was with Thomas. He called her baby and that made him sick. He couldn't believe that she was with him.

That didn't even make sense. Everything that he knew was not a lie. There was no way that this was planned all along. He loved her and she loved him...that was real.
The love that they made was real. She didn't give him a false reality. He would have picked up on that.

He's been tortured and tied up for more than 72 hours. The only thing they have given him was water. Ben was a fighter but he was ready to give up. He had already lost the love of his life, there was nothing else they could do to hurt him but they kept him alive and it seemed as though it was for this. For this hell. Thomas wanted Ben to have hell on earth.

"Thomas baby what should we do with him?" Miranda asked as he pulled her into a hug and Miranda stood up on her toes to kiss his lips.

Ben instantly fought against the cuffs. For the first time in 2 days he tried again to get out of it. He couldn't watch this.

Miranda wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him as passionately as she could.

"Miranda how could you?" Ben asked and he hung his head low, not wanting to watch the sight before him.

"I love him." Miranda said confidently.

"Yeah you hear that Benny Boy. She loves me and always has." Thomas gloated.

"Just go on and kill me now. You've got what you wanted but I can't sit here and watch the love of my life do this."

"Please." Ben begged and Miranda winced internally. This wasn't like him to just want to throw in the towel. She knew that he loved her but she didn't know how much her love meant to him. She didn't know that it ran this deep and it chilled her to her bones.

Miranda looked around wanting to see if all the men followed Thomas orders and left. They were just suppose to be guarding the doors...she was ready to end this and save her man.

"There is no giving up or mercy killing. You will suffer." Thomas said crouching down in front of Ben.

Miranda reached up under her dress as Thomas taunted Ben and she grabbed her knife. She walked behind Thomas and she kissed his head. She acted liked she was hugging him from behind and without wasting time Miranda stabbed Thomas in the throat. She stuck it there for a second before she quickly began to slide the blade deeply across his neck making sure she was cutting through everything. Thomas was grabbing at her hands before his neck but it was no use.  Blood was pouring out like water and Miranda kept her eyes forward looking at Ben without blinking.

You could hear Thomas choking on his own blood slightly and it would only take a few more minutes before all the blood left his brain. Miranda pulled the blade until she got to the right side of his neck to make a quick jerk making sure he was dead.

She dropped his body to the ground and looked at the blood pouring. Ben stared at Thomas and then back up at Miranda in disbelief.

Miranda rushed over to Ben and she used the same blade to cut the ropes a loose from his hands. "I am so sorry baby. I should have never left." Miranda told him as she then cut loose his feet. She looked at his wrist that were bleeding from the ropes being too tight. While on her knees, she pulled Ben's body into her and gave him a tight hug.

Miranda got up and walked over to Thomas, she grabbed his gun and the second one from his ankle then grabbed his phone. Miranda called James. "I've got him, so proceed with the plan." She whispered before hanging up.

She handed Ben a gun and kept one for herself. "Come on Ben. You've got to get up." She knew that he was weak and probably so tired.

Miranda reached down and pulled him out of the chair. Ben stumbled, his legs has been tied up in that same position for days. Miranda felt so bad. She pulled Ben into a tight hug again and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"You came back." Ben stated in her neck.

"Yes, I love you Benjamin Warren, nobody else but you." Miranda replied kissing his head.

"But babe now you have to help me help you. We gotta get out of here."

"Miranda I'm tired." Ben told her and Miranda looked up at him. She knew he was, he looked weak.

"I know Ben but we are almost done." Miranda replied and she wrapped his arm around her and allowed him to lean on her as they walked to the door. Miranda let Ben lean against the wall out of sight, she had the knife and gun in her hand.

She knew that the door locked behind her when she came in and that these people were the only ones who could let them out.

Miranda banged on the door and looked through the glass. "Hey hey, I need help in here. It's Thomas." She yelled frantically.

One of the men that where close by rushed to the door and opened it as Miranda stood off to the side.

She needed to kill him but couldn't decide between the knife or the gun. She didn't want the other men to hear and storm in.

So Miranda took her knife and she blew out a breath, first she stabbed the man quickly in stomach. They listened as he hollered and clutched his stomach. Miranda kicked the back of his knee causing him to fall forward as he hit his head.

She then grabbed Ben's hands quickly and pulled him out of the room and shut the door as she heard the bolt lock.

From here on out Miranda was ready to start shooting. She heard feet pattering and tried to listen for if it was more than one.

When she was sure it was only one person. She pulled Ben with her and opened the door to one of the hall closets.

The man was jogging around the corner and Miranda opened the door with as much force that she could muster hitting the man straight in the face with the door and knocking him down.

She then pulled her gun out and shot him before he could stand back up. Miranda was about to drag Ben pass him. When Ben stopped. "Take his gun. It has a silencer." Ben encouraged and Miranda nodded grabbing it.

Ben leaned into her as they walked. "If you ever feel like they are going to kill you. Use me as a shield." Ben told her seriously.

"What?! No." Miranda quickly returned.

"I'm serious Miranda." Ben replied. "I'm holding you down right now. Don't get killed trying to save me."

"I knew the risk when I came in here. I would never use your body as a shield from me and you are suppose to hold me down. You are week. You haven't ate. You've been beaten, wounded, water boarded and tied up for days. You can lean on me Ben and I'm going to hold you up. I'm suppose to hold you down. I'm in love with you." Miranda told him as they walked.

Miranda heard more feet and she pushed Ben up against the wall out of the way. As soon as a man in black came around the corner Miranda shot him in the head.

She grabbed his gun and handed it to Ben, so he would have a back up.

Just then the two heard a loud bang and yelling followed by a bunch of gun shots.

Miranda could hear people groan in agony and she stood still. She was pretty sure that it was Ben's guys that just came in blazing, but she didn't want them to get caught in the cross fire.

Miranda stood there on go just incase someone came their way. After a while the gun shots silenced and it was quiet.

"Boss." They heard James shout.

"Miranda." Kyle shouted.

"We are down here." Miranda shouted back and she walked with Ben looping his arm right around her neck and her hand wrapped around his waist.

They made it to the end of the hall before they came face to face with them.

"Oh sir. Let me help you." James said walking to grab Ben and help him walk.

Miranda walked slowly and she stared at Ben making sure he was good.

They made it out to the Suv and Ben and Miranda got into the back seat. Miranda pulled Ben's body down and laid his head in her lap as she stroked back and forth.

"Everything is okay. I love you so much." She cooed, she didn't even realize that she had tears falling.
