WARNING: Do not read this book yet if you haven't read my first book, Acts Of Justice & Crime (A.O.J.&.C). This book would make no sense if you haven't read the book because this is a SEQUEL and a continuation to that book.
CAUTION: Uses strong lang...
I could hear faint sounds of whispers behind the closed door of my room. The duct tape on my mouth has worn out it's stickiness. It was too stained in blood from me coughing it up while trying to escape from the chair I am chained to. I would usually fall on my face to the floor, causing my head sharp pains. The only thing keeping the tape on there was my own blood and flesh.
The chains felt like it kept getting tighter by the minute. Needles and extreme amounts of rust were carved into them from age. If the chains moved even slightly, the needles would dig, cut, and go inside deeper and deeper within my skin and muscle. I looked down at my ankles, and all I could see was dried blood and flakes and pieces of bone coming out of it. With the needle, still injecting deeper in my ankles at my every movement. By this point, breathing was too much movement.
The doors flew open, someone has crept into the room and sat down at the table. I dared not to look up at them, and just kept on staring my battered ankles. The person, who I can now identify as a He, cleared his throat, to get my attention. I still did not look at the man. I could see though, he was going to be patient with me, and he too started looking at my ankles. He knew they were hurting and bothering me. Physically from the pain they cause on my body. Mentally from the way they represent what my life has come to.
He expects me to say something, as if it wouldn't be muffled by the tape. He expects me to be mentally prepared to say something after I have been gagging on my blood, screaming out for mercy when I moved, and just hearing nothing but whispers and my own insanity growing.
"For four days. Four days. Four. Days." The words repeated in my head.
I couldn't balance my thoughts. I could barely hear the man talk because of how much louder my mind has become.
"Ankles pretty messed up, huh?" He said.
I worked up the will to look up at him.
"Tiger General. My Parents Employer. Why Him?" I thought to myself.
I quickly look back down at the floor. He ripped the tape off my mouth. I could see bits of my flesh on it still. As I winced from the pain. I turned to him.
"What do you want?" I asked sharply.
"Where's Flippy?" He asked.
I stayed quiet. After a minute passed by, he got up. I thought he was leaving, but instead he came right back. With a revolver. He point it at my head.
"I don't want to have to say it again, Lifty." He said sternly.
"I don't know." I mumbled.
"What's that?!" He said a little louder.
"I don't know!" I yelled. "I don't know! I don't know! I don't kn-".
He cut me off by shooting the revolver in the air. He put another bullet in and pointed it at my head once more.
"I need to know what way he is taking to get here. Now tell me or the next bullet will be in your head." He asked, forcing himself to stay calm.
"They never told me! He never says where he is going! Play through the tape recordings of that video over again. You won't find any secret messages. I promise!" I yelled again.
"On your life?" He asked me.
I gulped, "On my life.".
3rd POV
At Rebel Base
It was the morning Splendid, Flippy, and Cuddles were leaving to go find and rescue Lifty and Shifty. Cuddles and Flippy were awake, packed, and ready to leave, while Splendid didn't even get up yet. The two went to Splendids house and knocked on the door. No one answered. Flippy picked the locked till the door came open.
"Splendid!" Flippy yelled.
Splendid jolted open, realizing he slept in. Flippy barged through the door.
"Are you serious? Get dressed and ready now! I'm not leaving late because of you!" Flippy yelled.
"Alright, alright!" Splendid yelled tiredly.
Once Splendid was ready, the three left to go on their rescue mission. Flippy explained what they are going to do while holding out a map of the enemy base.
"Alright so we are going into those doors, they are the least guarded." Flippy said as he points to the far right entrance. "Then there's three jail halls over here in the middle of the map. I'll get the left hall, Splendid get middle, and Cuddles get right. Now if you find one of them, pick the lock till it opens. You guys know how to pick a lock, right?" Flippy asked.
"Yes sir." Cuddles said.
"What? No! Why would I know how to pick a lock?" Splendid said defensively.
"Alright if you don't know how to then just break the door open very quietly." Flippy told Splendid.
"What if a guard finds us?" Cuddles asked.
"Shoot him til he's dead." Flippy replied...
