Laura
I scarcely remember the events happening the next few days, I was flittering back and forth between conscious and unconsciousness. The longer I was held captive the smaller my chances of being rescued were.
I touched my head with my bounded hands as I opened my eyes slowly adjusting to the usual pitch black room. Well, at least I wasn't having any nightmares.
Probably because I'm in one right now. I thought.
Suddenly the door heaved open and Harvey walked in with a cigarette in between his lips.
"Change of plans, we're leaving." He said as he began to untie my legs so I could walk.
"Leaving where?" I asked urgently.
"Out of America." I sucked in a breath as my mind started reeling in the possible scenarios.
"I'm being serious Harvey."
"So am I Laura."
"Why are we leaving the country."
"You ask too many questions."
"And you don't give enough answers."
"Don't test my patience Laura, I can do a whole lot worse than a black eye." He said menacingly.
I held back a sob as I shut my mouth biting my lip. Harvey managed to untie my legs and haul me up roughly pulling me out the door. We went through a series of doorways as I quickly tried to memorize them.
"Don't bother trying to remember, you'll never see this place again." He said smirking. I whimpered as we finally exited the tunnel and I was met with blinding sunlight.
"Get in." He said pushing me into a black van.
"No." I said struggling against him. This was my chance to escape! I quickly gathered all the strength I had left and kicked him in the balls. He groaned falling to his knees hunching over. I untied my hands and ran like hell.
"You can't run from me Laura." I heard Harvey's muffled voice. My heart beating faster I pushed my legs further and further trying to get away.
Eventually I stopped running and came to a dead end.
My bottom lip started to quiver as I shook with sobs.
"No, No, NO." I screamed in panic. Slowly but surely I heard footsteps behind me. I didn't even need to turn to know who it was.
"I can either knock you out, or you can cooperate with me Laura, your choice." He said.
I felt like I was going to puke, I couldn't stand to be near him, I wanted to cry so bad but I knew showing Harvey my weak side wouldn't help me in any way.
I bit my lip as I looked down at the ground to keep from crying. I started counting the pebbles to calm myself down.
1 pebble
Hiccup.
2 pebbles
Sniffle.
3 pebbles
Breathe in.
4 pebbles
Breathe out.
5 pebbles
Clear my throat.
"Ok." I said after a beat. He pushed off of the wall he was leaning against and motioned for me to walk forwards first. I rushed past him practically running towards the car.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked defeated.
"Because I can." He whispered.
Less than satisfied with his answer I prepared to climb into the car until I felt pressure at the back of my head, and a throbbing pain searing down my back.
He knocked me out.
He's such a liar.

"Welcome Laura." I heard Harvey's faint voice call out.
"Welcome where?" I asked my vision a tad blurry.
"Welcome to Brazil..."
What
The
Hell.
I sat up and surveyed the room I was in. It had all the windows and doors opened letting in a warm breeze. The room was stationed on the beach, I could smell the salt water I could see the ocean for miles.
I was actually in Brazil. My eyes grew wide as I snapped my head back to Harvey. He was sitting at the edge of my bed a little too close for comfort.
I shifted away. Was this a high class prostitute house or something. Was he finally going to sell me?
Fear enveloped my body as I shivered pulling my knees closer to me.
"How did you get me here?" I asked a breath away from crying.
"We have our ways. Just know Laura, Josh will never find you now." He said walking out of the room.
For the first time since I was 5 years old, I cried. I cried and I cried until my face was numb and my throat was dry, because I knew from that from this moment on, I was on my own.
Not even Josh could save me now.
