Captured And Caged

The house

My blood ran like ice through my veins as I positioned myself in the back of the cab between sonnie and Macy. "Phones, hand them up." Bruce our cab driver put his hand back. His fingers looked like sausages and it made me want to gag. Reluctantly, we pulled our phones out and handed him our phones. "Say a word to each other on our little trip, and I'll shoot you. Without hesitation." I heard Macy begin to cry on the right of me. I grabbed her hand for that was the only consolation I could give her. She took my hand backed and squeezed it with a little shake. That was Macy, even in times where she couldn't hold herself together, she tried her best to make sure everyone around her was okay. A few moments later I felt an icy hand grab my left hand, it was sonnie. I looked over at her, she did not look well. "I'm going to be sick." She spoke to the cab driver. "Puke in yourself. I don't give a fuck, just don't let it touch me." He plainly replied. I squeezed her hand like Macy did to mine. Sonnie tried to smile but before she could, her five star Amazonian meal made its second appearance of the evening. This time in my lap. The driver began to laugh. "Ha! Looks like you're gonna have a long, uncomfortable ride little missy." He spoke to me but I didn't listen. I was looking at sonnie who was now too crying. "I'm sorry" she mouthed. I tried to ignore the fact that I had sonnies digested meal in my lap and focus on my two friends. I closed my eyes and took the two of them by the hands and squeezed them. Soundlessly telling them that we weren't going down without a fight.
      Hours passed and the hot, dark, and smelly cab ride became very bumpy. "When we get there you are going to file out. One by one. With your hands behind you back. Fail to listen to me and I will shoot." He went into his center console and pulled out a black sleek gun. We nodded our heads with our eyes on the black gun. I broke focus with the gun and looked out of Macy's window at the millions of trees wondering where in the rainforest we were. "You, in the middle. You get out and come stand by me. Understand?" I looked at him through the mirror. I was no longer scared, I wanted to bash his face into the steering whee. "Yea." I said coldly. After about 15 minutes we pulled up to an abandoned house. Bruce pulled up to an abandoned house. He pulled into a garage and turned the car off. "Remember what I said. Fail to comply. And I will shoot." He got out of the cab and case to sonnies side and opened the door. One by one, just as we had gotten in. We got out. When I stood up out of the car and into the flood of light. The parts of Sonnies meal that weren't dried on my legs slid off onto the ground making me want to vomit. Ignoring the meal, I stepped off to the side next to Bruce as he had instructed. I looked at my two best friends. They looked so small and petrified. "Be strong." I mouthed to them. They saw, but showed no sign of comprehension. I saw sonnie begin to open her mouth to silently say something, but right as she did that, two strong, intimidating men walked in through the garage door. They spoke to Bruce in a foreign language that I didn't understand, but Macy did. I saw her body tense up, and the. She began to freak out. "No! You can't separate us!" She tried running to me, but the man with a face tattoo blocked and held onto her. Macy started screaming which made sonnie run to her. The other guy who had lighter hair than the man with the face tattoo grabbed sonnie and dragged her inside. I watched Macy scream, I wasn't able to do anything because somehow my hands had ended up tied behind my back. Tears welled up in my eyes. I had never seen Macy so scared in her life. Macy was still losing it when the man smacked her across the face. Hard. "Shut the fuck up!" He screamed and shook her but she didn't hear, he had knocked her out. "Why did you do that!?" I screamed. I broke out of my daze, and tried to get to Macy but Bruce grabbed the string between my hands and pulled me backwards. It made my shoulders jerk backwards causing me to fall to the ground. "Gus, take her inside. You know where." Tears began pouring out of my eyes as I watched the man now known as Gus take her inside. "You." Bruce said jerking me back up. "You come with me. I have a special request you need to take care of in my bedroom." He smiled at me which repulsed me so much I threw up on the ground in front of me. He ignored the act and grabbed me, leading me inside.
