Finding Happiness

Chapter 10: Confused

Jada
I slowly opened my eyes and I felt a lot better, every so often I would feel like I hit a bump. I looked around and saw 2 hooded figures sitting a few feet away from me.

"Where am I?" I questioned looking around with causing too much attention to myself.

There was somebody else besides the 2 people in hoods, I couldn't tell the gender since I was unable to see their face. It took me a while before I realized that I was tied up in the back off a van.

I laid there motionless with my eyes shut as I focused on everything that was going on around me, after a while  the road that we were traveling on went from bumpy to smooth, We're probably on the main road or on a highway. I thought to myself.

I couldn't see their faces but, I could tell that they were male and they were just henchmen. I bit my lip as I thought about what would happen after we stopped.
~~~~~~~~
The van finally stopped and I felt somewhat relieved, since my legs were starting to cramp up. The van door opened and I was snatched up and dragged into a building, along with the other person they had in the van with me.

I was roughly shoved into a room and a loud slam which was followed by a click. I looked around the poorly lit room and tried to make out the things that were inside of the room.

I heard a loud hissing sound, like air being let out of a tire, it sounded like it had cake from the far end of the room. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to figure out why this was happening.

I laid down on the floor and wiggled around until I found a comfortable enough position. I closed my eyes and imagined August busting through the door to come save me but, I doubted it.

I heard footsteps approaching the room, the door flew open and I felt myself being snatched up. I was carried out of the room and into another room that had better lighting. I was put into a chair and tied to it.

There were 2 people in the room, the first one was short and stocky, the second one was tall and muscular. They both were dressed in all black and I couldn't see their faces.

"Where is he?" The short one asked.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Answer the question."

"Where's who? I don't even know who you're talking about."

The shorter one punched me in the face, it looked like he put a lot of force behind it but it didn't faze me.

"What's wrong with you?" The taller one asked pushing the short one. "You don't put your hands on a female."

"We need answers."

"And hitting her isn't going to answer those questions."

I could tell from their voices that they were both males, that or they were some females with really deep voices.

The short one left the room and the tall one knelt down in front of me. He pulled my hair out of the messy bun that it was in and touched my cheek.

"I'm sorry about him, he's a little off."

I stayed silent as I nodded my head in agreement.

"Shamar Carter. You know him?"

I nodded my head again.

"Was he a friend of yours?"

I nodded my head again.

"Do you know where he is?"
