Blurred Lines

~Friend or Foe~

Kali's POV:

Three days. I've been trapped in this disgusting warehouse for three days and there isn't an end in sight. I've learned a few things during my delightful stay here, notice the sarcasm there.

But anyway, the man holding me here, his name is Cecilio Todd and apparently he's the head of the Italian Mafia or something like that. I thought stuff like that wasn't real, or at least wasn't anything like it was in the movies or books that I read when I was in high school.

I guess if my experience was anything like it was in those mafia romance books I read, I'd be off on a yacht by now. Or somewhere spending millions of dollars out of spite. I don't know which experience would be worse. Well I do, but humor me, I've been locked away in a dark room by myself for three days. A girl's only way to cope is through sarcasm and dark humor.

You'd think I would be having some mental breakdown by now because of all the mental and physical trauma, but I guess you can only scare someone with kidnapping and empty threats once in a lifetime. Since this is my second go-round, I assume my fear-meter has been broken. Or maybe there's some fucked up sense of security in this.

If I'm still alive that means that the creep who had me kidnapped hasn't gotten what he wanted from my men. They're still safe, or at least out of harm's way. At least that's how I'm choosing to think. The second that idea is blown to bits I'll probably be curled up into myself rambling nonsense like every other crazy person in the world.

The only thing that brings me any type of peace is the fact that my boyfriends haven't joined me here. I hope they don't come looking for me. The things I've heard that little freak say, the things he'll do to them if they come here, I don't want it to happen. I know there's no chance in hell they'll leave me behind and live their lives freely, but if they never found me, I don't think I'd be upset.

As long as they never find me, they're safe. I'd give my life for them to be safe, free of whatever this is between them and Cecilio. He's insane. If I were a Doctor I'd have him committed and put in a white room with a straight jacket on. Maybe two of them, it wouldn't make much difference but two is better than one in his circumstances.

I'd feel bad for him, but from what I understand he's had a pretty easy life. Rich parent's, private schools, all the money he could dream of, everything at his fingertips. To me it seems like failed parenting. Maybe all Mafia kids turn out like this? I wonder if I'd be evil if I were raised by people in the mafia?

But back to my point! Apparently my boyfriends killed Cecilio's father. Do I believe that? No. Is there a possibility that it's true? Absolutely. I'm not stupid, maybe a little slow, but not stupid. I've noticed...things. Things that I should've seen a long time ago but I've always ignored many things when it came to those four men. Things I should've been paying attention to all along.

Cecilio said they did it almost two weeks ago. That's around the time that things started to get strange in our house. All the happiness, joyfulness, smiles, all of it. But why would killing Cecilio's father bring them such joy? How bad of a person could he have been that killing him made them all so happy? Or...how bad of people are they for killing a man and being happy about it? I'm very confused.

I don't have the entire story, so I can't decide how I'm supposed to feel just yet. I know my boyfriends and I know they don't do things just because. There's always a reason. Always. I just need to see them again so I can ask what the hell the little freak is talking about. Doubt that will be happening any time soon.

How in the hell are they going to figure out where I am? I'm all the way in freaking Italy! Even if they did somehow find out I was here, this is a big ass place! They'd never be able to figure out exactly where I am. Cecilio would most likely kill them once they got to close anyway. Hopefully if that happens he'll kill me too. Preferably quickly and painlessly.
