:A/N: Justin give me butterflies, ughh.

My guards scurry to unlock the metal door and swing it open.

I step into the dim room before switching the light on.

Justin's head snaps up and I grin. His lips were cracked and bloody, his face was a pale white, his eyes were bloodshot red and his hair was a curly mess.

He looked absolutely drained and so distorted.

It had been about a week since we'd stop feeding him and only gave him a little water. This was a technique we called 'The drainage'.

Some hostages would not budge if tortured, perhaps they've been trained not to. But, when it comes to the body's basic needs, food and water are indispensable. And works almost always.

"What do you want?" He spits

I grin.

"Hello to you too, Justin"

"Come to finish the job?" He hisses

"Oh please, if I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead" I say

"Then what is it?" He spits

"I think you and I can help each other, Justin"

He stays silent.

"You're gonna help me get Marianna back" I say nonchalantly

"What" He exclaims

"What do you mean; back?"

"She, how can I put this, slipped my hands.

And now you're going to help me get her back"

"And why on earth would I do that?"

"If you don't comply, I will kill every single one of your family members"

A few moments of silence go by.

"You don't even know what they look like" He snaps

I let out a soft chuckle.

"Your mother-Beautiful women, might I add, wakes up every morning at approximately 5:30 am. She takes her bath and gets ready by 6:00 am. She then goes downstairs, makes breakfast; which usually consists of eggs and bacon, although on Sundays, she tends to go for cereal, an easier and more simple option. By 7:30, your dad comes downstairs, greets her, then proceeds to eat breakfast with her. By 8 am, both of them leave with separate cars. Your mother heads to the gym, where she spends about an hour and a half, sometimes 2. By 9:30 she leaves the gym and gets home at about 10:15 am. She takes a shower, gets ready and leaves for work at 11:30 am.

She gets to work at 12:15 am, where she stays until 6: 15 pm. She drives home and arrives at 7:15 pm. Gets dinner ready by 8:15. Your dad arrives at 8:20. And they both dine in absolute silence at 9:00 pm exactly"

He sat there, in utter shock and what seemed to be confusion.

"I'm gonna ask you one more time, Justin_"

"I'll do it" He says

My lips twitch upwards into a crooked smile.

"Perfect"

Marianna

~~ 1 week later ~~

A whole week has passed since we've been in New Mexico, and in all honesty, things have not changed between Jordan and I. Actually, they might have gotten better. We hang out most of the day since there isn't much else to do, but he always absents himself at least once for about two hours. I don't why or where he goes, but all I know is that when he does, the house is pretty silent, and all that's left for me to do, is think.
