I was feeling sick; like my entire body was burning and I couldn't stop shaking, sweat poured from my body onto the bed and I was feeling severely nauesous. Honestly, I didn't know what was going on with me.... over the last few days it was pretty much the same routine 'visitors', Josiah flirting with Tobias, Tobias pouring ice cold water on me whenever he got pissed at something I said or looked at him wrong. Josiah knew our situation was dire because I was felt with each passing day I was getting closer and closer to death... Josiah had been working diligently to get Tobias to let him out this room for a 'break' and real shower and I was losing hope until early in the morning Tobias came and unlocked Josiah's chains. As they left the room Josiah looked back at me and winked.... God, please let his plan work. Whatever was going on with me I knew it was bad.... I could literally feel my heart forcing itself to keep pumping, I could hear my lungs struggling to take in oxygen..... I felt myself getting dizzy and every slight movement of my body hurt, I was close to giving up when I heard the door open and Tobias ran inside and dragged Josiah behind him.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck......" He said as Josiah jumped into bed and he let Tobias chain him back up. "I didn't think he'd be here today." Tobias said shooting me another look like whatever he was talking about was my fault, he finished chaining Josiah up and then kissed him passionately. "I promise to make this up to you when he leaves, I swear baby." Tobias said and he walked out the room locking the door behind him.
"Look we don't have long, Ceasar is coming so just listen.... tonight I'm getting us outta here, Tobias is going to let me out to take a shower and I'm going to ask him to join me then.... I'm going to do what I have to, you just gotta stay strong for a few more hours Ron." Josiah whispered and I was barely able to nod my head.
"That's him over there....." Ceasar said walking into the room and pointing at me. "Just make sure he isn't dying or anything and then take your money and forget you ever saw this." Ceasar said as an older white man walked over to me and started running a bunch of tests, I recognized him he had been here a few times before which killed any hope I had of getting some help. The entire time Ceasar watched us like a hawk, so me and Josiah couldn't communicate but his face told me that he had my back.
"This kid needs to get to a hospital..... there's very little I can do here and if you don't take him soon......." The Doctor said looking at Ceasar. "Look keep the other one and let me take this one to the hospital, I can give him something to knock him out, drop him off and disappear but leaving him here would be dangerous." He said and Ceasar walked over to him and punched him in the mouth.
"How about you give him something to get him back to full health and stop acting like a bitch, look I'm sorry for losing my temper, but I need him healthy.... I got a very rich young man sliding through here tonight and he prefers his sluts on the dark side which is why I need this one healthy so tell me is there anything you can give him that will help him at least for tonight then tomorrow we can take him to the hospital?" Ceasar asked.
"I.... I think.... there's something I can do..... but I want an hour alone with him." The Doctor said trying his hardest not to cry and pointing at Josiah, Ceasar nodded and walked out the room leaving us alone with The Doctor.....
Later that night once it was clear our plan had to be put on hold me and Josiah laid there talking about summer.... making plans we probably wouldn't be able to keep like driving to Chicago to see a Bulls game, take a road trip to King's Island and Cedar Point.... just a bunch of other shyt that we probably wouldn't be alive to do.
"Ron the plan can still work we'll just have to wait a few more days....." Josiah said though I could tell even he didn't believe what he was saying. "Ron.... tell me about Antwan?" Josiah said and I knew he was trying to get me to stay motivated, Antwan was the last string that kept me together and just saying his name made me strong.
"Antwan was different than any dude I've ever met.... he was confident but not cocky, sweet but not soft, completely unselfish.... he is the type of dude that wants to change the world, he's always positive about life and always tries to see the good in people. He's a really good dude....." I said as tears fell from my eyes.
"Holding on to that Ron.... just think about nothing but Antwan I'm about to......" Josiah said as the door opened and Tobias stepped in.
"Come on pussy.... Ceasar told me to give you a shower and some of these pills the doctor brought by....." Tobias said unlocking the chain around my ankle and pulling me roughly from the bed, I looked down at my ankle and almost threw up, all these weeks with that chain wrapped around it had.... let's just say it looks bad and I could barely put any weight on it." The entire walk towards the shower whenever I would stumble or fall Tobias would get pissed and grab me by my neck and pull me.
"You really need to chill the fuck out....." I mumbled and Tobias pulled back like he was about to punch me but stopped just short of doing it.
"The only reason I'm not knocking your ass out right now is because this dude wants you perfect..... but I swear to god the second he leaves I might just rip you a new asshole." Tobias said smiling evilly.
"Your dick ain't big enough." I said as he pushed me in the shower and turned the water on.... to be honest, every time I fell I was taking in my surroundings trying to figure out the best way to escape this hell though I didn't see any... maybe Josiah saw something that I missed, I'd worry about that later though because this was the first real shower I've had since Christmas and I wanted to enjoy it because who knows how long it would be before I got another one.
"Hurry up he's waiting....." Tobias said snatching the shower curtain open a few minutes later and handed me a towel. "He's paid for two hours to do whatever the fuck he wants to you so don't fuck this up Ronnie or you know what Ceasar will do to you." Tobias said and I was tempted to swing on him until I saw the outline of the gun he was carrying. "Come on...." Tobias said grabbing me roughly and dragging me not towards the dungeon but towards a different part of the house. I walked into a nicely decorated room where a dude was standing looking out the window with a drink in his hand.
"Thanks, Tobias.... now I paid a lot of money for some privacy." The dude said turning around and I kid you not I almost grabbed Tobias's gun and shot both of them because I knew this dude from hanging around Black and he was his supposed 'best-friend' Mookie, but then something clicked, if they jumped Tobias a few days ago and I know Mookie was there because he was always around Black then that meant that Tobias had no idea who this was...... Mookie walked over to me and stuck his tongue in my mouth, scooped me up and carried me over to the bed that was in the room. Play along Ronnie... that's what I kept telling myself because maybe I was clinging to my last bit of hope but I needed him at this point.
"I'll be back when your time is up....." Tobias said shutting the door and as soon as his footsteps were gone I tried to pull away but Mookie held me in place.
"There are cameras in here so just listen..... Black, Breion, and Dejon aren't too far from here, they just wanted to confirm where you were." Mookie said kissing on my neck. "Is there anyone else in here... do talk just nodded." He said and with the slightest of movements, I nodded my head. "Aight well look as soon as I leave here we're going to call......" Before Mookie could finish talking I heard gunshots ringing throughout the house, Mookie pushed me off the bed and told me to hide..... 67.... that's how many gunshots I heard before the sounds of heavy footsteps got closer to the door..... I heard the door open and someone stepped in....
"Where's the kid?" The voice said and I swear I had heard it before but I couldn't place it, so I peeked from under the bed and saw a tall white dude standing in the doorway and I knew we had been saved............................
