In The Name Of Trouble

Chapter 66

I had gotten a call from a number which I've never seen before. The person on the other side was a male.

"Who's this?"

"Are you Thomas Eastwood?"

"That's me."

"Do you know Cash Rebel?"

"Everyone knows her." The knot returned to his gut. Knot of guilt 

"Do you know where she is?"

"Afraid not. Who am I speaking to."

"I'm Steven Archer."

"And what do you need with Cash?"

"I've been searching for her since we split."

"You're her boyfriend?"

"Fuck no. Cash isn't that type."

"You're wasting my precious time here Steven. How can I help you?" He glanced at his watch.

" I need to find my sister."
...........

Her hands were tied above her and she was hanging from the ceiling. Her shoulders began to ache terribly.

There was no one else in the room and no one entered since she's been tied up.

You shouldn't talk yourself out of situations. You suck at it.

I didn't. Also, Shut up.

Nope. I'm with you forever.

Do you have a mute button?

The conversation stopped when Larson entered.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine. Thanks for the unnecessary concern."

"Good to know that you're still bitter as ever-"

"Look who's talking." She tried to lift herself so that the shoulders don't carry her weight.

"Well I was hoping you learned your lesson." He pressed a button and put the remote back in his pocket.

"Fuck you." There was a cracking sound in her shoulders.

Two guards came in and one held her legs and the other removed the rope and they settled her slowly on the floor beside the bed.

"Leave." He motioned them away and slowly paced to the bed and bent down to take a dusty box from under it. Cash tensed up as she saw the box.

"No." She whispered "No, no, no." She knew too well the contents of the box.

"Its been too long since we did this. Isn't it baby?" He opened the box and took out the long leather whip with thorns at the end of it to draw blood out.

Cash slowly got off the floor and made a dash out the room but Larson was faster and caught her in a second. She squirmed and kept kicking her legs as he threw her on the bed. He pinned her down and kept one hand on her mouth. Her muffled pleas were ignored as Larson took out a clean piece of cloth and gaged her mouth.

He then played with the hem of her dress and ripped it off. Cash began to jerk and tried to kick Larson but he pinned them down as well.

The only thing covering Cash now was her underwear. Larson smirked and ripped them off as well. Cash's eyes were opened wide with fear. Cash began gasping for air.

He got off the bed and pulled Cash's hair, forcing her to follow. He then tied her hands above her left her there and went back to the bed to get the whip. Cash's pleas were louder as she kept shaking the cuffs to get his attention.

"Now let's have some fun, shall we?" he mustered all his force on the whip and struck Cash. The thorns embedded straight into her skin and came back out when Larson pulled it and blood oozed out. He struck again and Cash began to tear up.

The whole place echoed with her screams.
