"You look good behind that desk"
I was starting to regain consciousness, and looking around at my surroundings. I was in a moving car filled with, what looked like guys with black masks on either side of me and in the front. I looked down and discovered that my hands were bound with zip ties and I was tied to the seat with the seatbelt that was painfully tight. I didn't say anything, I wasn't stupid. I had no idea what was going on and I was confused on why this was happening, but my mind said that it has something to do with Rio. They saw that I was awake and alert, I stayed quiet the whole car ride until we reached a warehouse in the middle of nowhere, Isolated from the rest of the city and surrounded by trees and fields of grass. They grabbed me out of the car with force that was so tight that left my arms aching, and dragged me inside and tied me to a chair
"Call him, and tell him we have his girl and to bring the money if he wants her back" the leader said. I was right, it was something to do with Rio
"Why am I here?" I finally asked. They didn't hear me
"Why am I here?" I repeated. One of the four men finally turned to me
"Your leverage sweetheart. Your boy took something from us, so we simply took something in return" he said. I didn't want to risk anything so I stayed quiet, but part of me wanted to know more about this and the other part feared it
"What did he take?" I asked
"A lot of money from me and my guys and now, he's going to give it back to us" he said. He had tattoos on his face and running down his neck and muscular build
"You should ask for more, interest and all" they all looked at me in confusion
"Im worth more than a couple grand. And besides, he was stupid, and stupid people pay a price" I said with a slight smile on my face. Right now I was furious with Rio, and the fact that he could be so reckless and put us at risk. So I thought I'd get my moneys worth
"I thought you were his fiancé?" The same man said confused on why I'm not defending him
"I am. Doesn't mean I have to defend him though" I said
They looked impressed but not impressed at the same time, probably rethinking their kidnapping choice. I noticed that I had blood running down the side of my face from where they'd knocked me unconscious and the pain was piercing through my head, but I didn't give them the satisfaction of knowing that it hurt. He walked away from me and pulled out a burner phone and dialled a number into it
"Yo" the other person on the line said. Rio.
"Remember us? Well, we have something you want, love, cherish" the man mocked
"Yeah? And what's that?" Rio chuckled under his breath
"Your girl. And if you don't give us what you stole, she won't be recognisable the next time you see her" he said maliciously
