Corrupted. [Part II: On The Run]

Chapter Six: Escaping Louis

CHAPTER SIX:

  I moan miserably as I fully wake up. I slowly blink my eyes open to complete darkness. I can't see anything, but feel myself laying down against cool concrete. I go to sit up but my legs and arms are tied up, restricting me.

   For a slight second I'm confused, but I gasp as it all comes back to me.

  "Louis? Louis, please. Please let me go!" I beg for my life, but get no response. "Hello?" I say quietly, realizing that I might be here by myself.

  The feel of the concrete floor and the echo of the room, makes me feel like I'm in a garage. I try my hardest to untie myself, but its almost impossible. Suddenly the garage door starts to open and the outside light blinds me. I squeeze my eyes shut and slowly open them back up, so they can adjust to the bright light.

  "Louis?" I try to focus but all I can see is a silhouette.

   "You ready to go for a ride?" He walks in, and I can see him clearly.

  "Louis, please." I beg for my life when I see his gun. "Please, please let me go." I start to hyperventilate, I just want to leave.

   "It's okay." He leans down and moves the hair out of my face. My body shutters at his touch.

   "They won't get you, I'll protect you." He stands back up and I just look at him.

   "Who's they? What are you talking about?" Chills form from getting weirded out.

  "It's okay, they won't get you. But we need to get that money and then get out of here." He grabs on to me, and stands me up.

   "Where are we going?" I ask trying my best not to sound panicked.

  "Where do you think? the farm." He answers his own question.

  "We don't need to go, why don't we just stay here." I propose the idea, hoping maybe someone will find us.

  He shoves me harshly against the wall and points the gun towards me. I instantly start crying, "Okay, okay." I choke out the words. "Let's go to the farm." my voice is shaky but he ends up putting the gun down.

  "I'm going to untie your legs, if you take off, I'll shoot you… but I'll make sure it doesn't kill you, but it'll hurt a lot and you won't be able to move. So don't try anything." He kneels down and I can tell he thought that through before he said it.

  He unties my ankles and I instantly feel relieved. He points the gun into my back and makes me start to walk.

   I walk outside and see that I wasn't inside someone's garage… I was inside a storage unit.

  He makes me shut the door, that's similar to a garage's and then we walk down the long isle of units. We're in one of the last ones away from the others… but this whole place looks so old and abandoned, I doubt any of else is using it anyways.

  He opens the door and I get inside, "I'm sorry, but I have to do this." He grabs a bag from the floor and places it over my head, just after kissing my forehead.

   I sit in silence and darkness, waiting nervously. I hear him open and shut the door, and then he starts the car.

   We drive for a while before he stops.

  He opens the door and then takes the bag off. I see nothing but farm land for miles and a barn in front of us. In huge letters is "Wentworth's Farm" and a symbol I'm not familiar with.

   I immediately recognize the name, this is the barn that Zayn's hiding his money.

  Louis pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket, the same paper that Zayn gave me.
