Road to recovery

Chapter Eighteen

Joe's P.O.V

Joe was sitting in his car brewing in rage and frustration. He knew everything wouldn't go perfectly to plan. He knew that there likely was a chance that someone from her gang was going to come with her that is why he made sure that the day he invited her out most of them would have meeting. This insured that no one who has seen his face or knew his full name would show up with April. He was prepared for almost every possibility, except for the one where those stupid British fools show up. Joe thought that the attempted murder of their gang leader would keep them busy for twenty-four hours. Why are these people at the garage fixing the car instead of with their almost dead gang leader? That also had Joe seething, how much more did he have to do to kill that fucking Blue's Clues. He ran him of a mountain and shot him and he is still alive. Joe knows that he has to permanently get rid of Tommy to make sure his love is all his, because Tommy is the only person who didn't give up the first time. Joe had other plans for getting what he wants without April, but they are all so much riskier. Joe finally drives off setting home to start the next part of his plan. Let's hope that stupid assistant is more help than April. Joe drove off knowing he would have to lay low and not do anything for at least two weeks in case the two British idiots figure out who he is and to formulate a plan to finally kill their leader. 

Ray's P.O.V (A week later)

Trigger warning

Ray was sitting in a cold dark room; she didn't know where she was or how she got here but she heard footsteps heading her direction. When the person finally walked into the room Ray felt frozen in terror. She couldn't see the man's face or make out anything specific about him, but something in the back of her mind said not to anger him. The guy got closer until he was standing an inch away room her. Ray tried to move away when she finally realized she had her arms and legs chained to the wall. "Please stop, please don't hurt me." Ray said barely audible. The guy reached up to caress her face as he touched her felt fear and disgust crawl through her body. "No, my love I would never hurt you I only teach you a lesson when you deserve it, as long as you quit fighting me you will be perfectly fine." The mystery man said. Ray didn't like how as he said those words a smile spread across his face. " W-wh-what do y-you wa-wan-want?" Ray said struggling to speak as the fear in her body was making it hard to think. "Well, love I want a lot of things from you but right now I'm only her to see if you have an answer to my question from yesterday." The man said with a small chuckle "T-th-the an-answ-answer is th-the s-same a-as alw-always. My fr-frie-friends wi-will come f-for m-me." Ray stuttered out. The man started laughing loudly. "You have been with me for six months, no one is looking for you. Everyone you say cares for you believes you left the city on your own." The man said as he laughed. "Th-that c-ca-can't be tr-true." Ray said, she couldn't believe that everyone she loved gave up on her. 

 The man moved quickly he grabbed her chin and tilted her hand up with one hand as his other hand squeezed her waist hard. "How about this dear? I will let you go so you can see for yourself that they all gave up on you. This way you can see that the only person who truly loves you is me." The man said with a huge grin on his face. "Yo-you w-wi-will le-let me g-go? Ray said in disbelief there had to be some kind of catch he wouldn't just give her up. This offer also brought up a new fear in Ray's mind, she knew he wouldn't give her this chance unless he knew for sure he was right. "Not exactly love, this deal comes with a few challenges for you. I will unlock you and won't stop you from leaving but you only have ninety minutes before I start coming after you. The other thing is that when you realize that I'm right you come back with me without a fight." The man said the smile on his face only growing bigger.

Ray sat there silent for a minute she knew something wasn't right, but her survival mode was kicking in and it said do whatever she has to get out no matter what. "Are you scared I'm right?" The man asked as he moved closer his breathe now fanning her ear. Ray felt a shiver go through her body. "N-no, I wi-will d-do i-it a-an-and I w-wi-will pr-pro-prove yo-you wr-wrong." Ray got out. The man chuckled and then stepped away and grabbed something off the walls. Ray saw that it was keys. The man walked over and unlocked her. Ray fell to the ground having not walked in over three weeks she didn't even know if she would be able to get away. The man pulled her up from the ground and held her by the chin again. " Your now free, but just remember I am always watching, and you belong to me, don't earn extra punishments for when we are back together." The man said before he forced his mouth onto hers. after he kissed, he stepped back and walked out of the room. Ray took this as her cue to follow him and walked out the room and kept following until they got to the end of a long dark tunnel and stood in front of a ladder. "Once you get all the way up the ladder your time start, just remember you only have ninety minutes." The man said before turning and walking down the dark tunnel.
