The mask

Part 5

"I made that up. There is no deal"

...

"Are you serious?" you asked lowly and gripped the black coat around your arms, "Then who was that man?! He had a picture of me before YOU kidnapped me!!"

He began writing again and you slapped the notepad out his hand. He looked at you, his mask making it all the more eerier.
You took a step back before yelling in anger.
"Stop with the notepad!! I don't have the patience for it!! Just speak!" you dropped the coat and pushed the masked man into the sink, "Take your mask off!! If there was never a deal show your face! I bet you were the man who gave me the phone!"

You threw the phone at him and he picked it up off the ground. Quietly, he opened it and looked at the photos. At first he started laughing before cursing to himself.

"Fine.. I'll talk"

You got goosebumps hearing his sly, deep voice.
His sarcastic tone continued.

"Man.. what was he thinking?" he groaned deeply with a sharp breath, "So this guy? What'd he look like?"
"N-No! I'm the one asking question here!"
He leaned forward, "Let me guess.. A real handsome fella with black hair? That looks like his black coat too.."
You stepped back with agitation, "Take off your mask!! How do I know you're not him?"
"Do I sound like him?" he teased and you shook your head no. "I thought so. That guys weird man.. I don't know why they paired me up with him"
"Wait.." you muttered thinking harder.

You pushed your dress up on you tighter and looked suspiciously at the masked man.

The more you thought, the more you began to understand. It meant there were two men who kidnapped you.
One wore a frowny face, the other a smiley.

"So.. you didn't have more than one mask. There was two of you visiting me.. The Handsome man wore the frowny mask didn't he?" you asked with a gulp and the guy nodded.
"We're not supposed to talk to you. Strict orders."
"I don't understand.. you said there was no deal. Why are you doing this?" You frowned and he crossed his arms.
"I'm already breaking the rules for you alright!! Letting you out the basement, talking to you. Just come with me back to the house alright?" he took a step forward.
You began to shake, "No.."

He huffed loudly with aggrievance as he began to get more frustrated.

"Listen here girl! You do not want him to come and get you. You're lucky you ran out his apartment!! He's a real nut job. You're better off just coming with me" he tried to assure but you weren't convinced, "Why do you think he only visited you once?"

"Just.." you started backing away unsure what to do, "Just leave me alone!!"

You shoved passed the Masked Man and ran out the bathroom. As soon as you did so, you ran into what felt like a wall.
You looked up and it was him.

The Handsome Man.

"I..I uh.." you began to tremble as he cocked his head.
"What's the matter? Where'd you run off to?" he asked innocently and the Masked man came running out the bathroom next.

The two men looked at each other and The masked man put his hands on his hips with attitude.
"Well?"
The Handsome man smiled, "Jesus Nathan are you really making me catch her when you lost her?"

You tried to squirm away but The Handsome man grabbed your arm.
The Masked man grew angry with a fit.

"What's your problem man?! Saying my fucking name and not wearing your damn mask! What the hell are you doing?!"
The handsome man smirked as he pulled out a syringe, "You worry about your job, and I'll worry about mine"

There was a sharp pain in your neck before everything went black.

...

You woke up in a cellar.
The same one as before but instead tied up with rope.

"What..?" you whispered drowsily and looked up.

It was the masked man with the frowny face.

You scoffed, "What's the point of the mask? I already know what you look like.."
He took it off his face with a smile, "I suppose you're right. Now then.."

He came closer and lifted your chin.
You glared at him and he smiled.

"What has Nathan been telling you? You still don't know why you're here, do you little girl?"

You snarled at him as his fingers trailed down your cheek. You spit in his face and he backed away with a smile.
Suddenly his hand was around your neck and he wore a frown. You coughed for air as you struggled against him before he finally released you.

"I'm not Nathan sweetheart. You can get away with that with him, but me.. you will respect me" he stroked your face as he peered with those dark eyes. He wiped the tears from your face as you turned your head.

A door opened from above and it was the masked man with the smiley face.

Nathan.

"What the??" he spat as you looked at his mask, "I thought I told you to get me when she wakes up?!"

The Handsome man stood up with a smile, "I must have forgotten.."
Nathan took a glance at you before looking back at the Handsome man, "Why is her neck swollen?? What did I say about the rules?!"
"Those are your rules.. you don't control me Nathaniel. I only listen to boss and she doesn't care"
"She..?" you muttered wiping your tears,

"You mean to tell me a woman is making me go through this?!"
