The Traffickers

The Missing Link

As Kate studied the body of Jessica I examined the files of the victims. When suddenly there was a link between all of them. They were all women who had been reported missing and had been considered dead until their bodies were discovered. I thought to myself.

"Whoever is doing this, have they been kidnapping these women? Were they already kidnapped? Or is this something more sinister? Could it be a case of human trafficking?
No it couldn't be! Am I being too naïve?"

All these questions were going through my head and I couldn't comprehend any of them. I looked to Kate and saw that she was on the floor. Unconscious. Yet unharmed. "KATE!" It's the last thing I remembered before I felt an immense pain on my neck and arm and dropped to the floor. Minutes later my eyes slowly opened. I tried fighting the urge to close them and crawled on the floor to the file. A rather large, bulky man stepped infront of me, blocking my way and his partner was dragging Kate away in a body bag. She can't be dead, not yet, it's too early. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. "K-Kate!" I wheezed. It was over. There was nothing I could do. My body went limp and my eyes shut.

I couldn't move. I felt as if I were temporarily paralyzed from my neck down. I looked around yet all I saw was darkness, the floor I was sitting on was freezing and damp. I looked at my body and saw that I've been stripped down to a thin bra and some booty shorts. The funny thing was that these aren't even my clothes. Then suddenly, I was blinded by lights. I managed to catch a glimpse at Kate, she was wearing the same thing as me but she seemed exhausted.

Her desperate screams were muffled by a scarf which had been tied around her head.

I heard the door creak open and a tall brawny man entered. He looked as if he just escaped jail.

"Alright princess let's get you cleaned up, nobody wants to buy an already used girl do they?"

He slapped Kate's face and gave her a spine chilling look. She looked to me, her eyes glassed over and red. As if she were ready to kill someone. She tackled him and he fell to the ground.

"You're gonna regret that princess."

While he was on the ground he pulled out a burst fire pistol and shot her in the leg multiple times. She groaned in agony and began to crawl towards me helplessly.

Creaaak. Another man, much more healthy looking but absolutely covered in tattoos. He picked me up and as we left the room I saw the man crawl over Kate. It was an utterly horrid sight and I already knew what the conclusion of that would be.

Tears started streaming down my cheeks but my body wouldn't move, I was frozen in horror and complete fear of what this sickening place is.
