The Sharpest Tool

Chapter 2

C2-1

We've been driving for a while. I start to wake up and move around. I can feel every bump in the road in the backseat of his truck. Everything is dark because I'm still under the sheet he three over me. I start to squirm and the sheet falls off of me and Jose notices me in the rearview mirror. He reaches over to the passenger seat and I see him pull out a needle. He stops the car immediately and reaches to the back seat with the needle. I swing both of my legs towards him making him drop the needle. I can't scream or fight back. My arm are tied so are my legs and my mouth is cover with tape. He jumps to the back seat grabbing the needle off of the floor as he comes. He puts his knee in my stomach and pushes it down. He grabs my arm and both of them lift up. He sticks me with the needle and 3 seconds later I started to lose strength and control in my arms. "I can't feel my legs" I say to myself in my head. I've even lost the ability to mumble. He let's go of his grip on my arm and they both drop to my chest. As I look around my vision is gets blurry and my head feels heavy even though I am laying in the backseat. I can't see a thing. He gets back into the driver seat and puts the car in drive and pulls off. I can feel the car rock as he drives but I cant move. Jose hasn't said a word. Is his name even Jose? I start to question everything. I pray this has nothing to do with Malcolm and his affairs. Jose could be a angry and hurt husband or boyfriend out for revenge. Mathew and Sarah! What about them? Are they ok? Oh my God this is a nightmare. After 2 hours of driving Jose pulls into the garage of an abandoned home, well what looked like an abandoned home. I'm still out in the backseat of his truck tied up with my limp body. The truck rocks as Jose opens up the driver door and gets out. He slams the door after remembering to pull the keys out of the ignition. He comes to the back and pulls me by my ankles til I'm close enough to throw of his shoulder again. Once he pulls me out and throws me over he slams the back door. My vision starts to clear and I try to look around. I can see out the open garage and could see the outside. There are no other houses in sight, not even a road. All I could see is trees and dirt. He closes the garage and starts to walk towards the door leading to the house. When he gets to the door he places his thumb on the wall and the house lights up on the inside. The garage lights up too. The door slides open. He walks in and the door shuts behind him blowing my hair with the wind it blew as it shut. I can see the floor as he walks. I feel my body just drop and he throws me on the couch. He bends down and looks me in my eyes "The drugs should be wearing off." He snatches the tape off of my mouth and I groan slightly. He was right the drugs were wearing off because I could move my jaw my fingers but my legs were still numb. "Yours legs wont be back kicking for another hour, 2 hours tops. So, relax beautiful." Jose said with this creepy grin. "Good girl who behave are rewarded and bad girls? Well, they go to the hole." He walked away and disappeared somewhere in the house. I could hear him opening and closing doors. All of a sudden I it gets quiet and then then I hear water start to run above me. He comes back in but with no shirt. "Let's go." He says as he grabs me and puts me back over his shoulder. I can move my head around to get a better look as he walks and he turns behind a wall and walks down a hallway with 4 doors and goes up stairs at the end of the hall. When he makes it up the stairs he walks down the upstairs hall to the bathroom where he has the tub was filling with water . There are two robes laid out on the counter next to the sink. He sits me on the toilet. He grabs my arms and pulls out a knife. "Try anything and I'll kill you Chris. Be a good girl." he said as he held the knife to my throat. When he pulled it away he cut me loose. My arms were kind of limp. I didn't have enough strength to fight. He undressed me and places me in the tub where the water is running. "You need a bath." He said as he threw a rag into the tub. The tub is big like and the bathroom is very fancy. Come to think of it, while we were coming up the house looks very fancy on the inside. He takes off his pants and boxers and gets in the tub without me noticing. My hearts starts to beat faster and faster. He then leans forward from behind me to turn off the water and start to breathe heavy. He wraps his arms around me and I grind my teeth as a tear falls. I just know he's going to try something and I can't do anything.
