Behind The Glasses (Lauren/You)

Chapter Thirty

Your POV

"The final payment is in the bank account. It was nice doing business with you my boy." I heard a disgusting voice speak as I regained my senses, though it seemed that one of those senses were blocked out.

"Ah ... looks like the girl is awake. Mind yanking the towel off her eyes?"

A few moments later, I'm met with a room with a single light bulb above my head that was doing a terrible job of illuminating the room.

I don't know whether to be more surprised at the lack of comfortability of the chair that I was tied up to or the fact that this was exactly how this particular event was scarily matching like my dream. Not trying to think about what I was warned about in the dream, I tried to best to see anything in the room that could give me any opportunity to get out.

"How was your nap Y/N?" I tried to pry my hands from the restraints that were bound behind my back, "There's no point in struggling there. If you're good, we'll move on to what is to come for you."

The voice got a lot louder and I could make out their outline in front of me as they slowly approached me with an old home recorder.

"So Y/N- or Ryder, however you want to be called, how does it feel to be useless at this very moment?" He approached me and I as much I wanted to yell off at him, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of having a conversation.

Pointing the camera millimetres from my face, he continued to egg me on, "Oh come on Y/N. Don't you have some words to the guy who graciously helped me find you?"

He panned the camera towards his left and I didn't even bother to take a look because I knew he was talking about Tony.

"Well I didn't do that much Will but I appreciate the recognition."

The man's voice was far from Tony's. If anything, it was a voice that I've heard before and let me tell you that being shocked was an understatement.

Head snapping towards the guy who I least expected, I came in contact of his innocent smile which reeked of foul bullshit all over his living existence.

"Why?" I murmured which got Will's spirits up as I expressed the betrayal. "What did I ever do to you Reid?"

The man hummed as he made his way next to Will, wrapping his one arm over his shoulder.

"When I heard about my buddy over here behind bars, I was there to bail him out and seeing him all messed up made me want to take revenge on the person who put him in jail to begin with." Disgusted at their mutual friendship that they have, he continued on but with a gun in his hands that he got from Will's side.

"So I helped him track down you as Y/N and because I knew that you were working at Jauregui Enterprise, I could easily track you but then I stumbled a bit as you disappeared for a while. Then when Ryder popped up in availability and that incident that happened to Lauren rang some bells. Just the way you handled that situation matched the way you handled Will in Jauregui's room. With that information, you were basically in the palm of my hands and fast forward to everything that has led up to this very moment."

I scoffed at his explanation which changed Reid's face. He didn't seem too pleased so he tugged rather harshly on the collar of my shirt. My poor shirt getting abused and ruffled but at least it wasn't a shirt I particularly loved.

"I don't think you understand what position you are in to be ticking us off right now Y/N." Reid hysterically laughs to immediately cut his evil laugh to a halt.

He sighed and dangled the pistol between his two fingers to the side of my face. "I don't want the fun to end. Don't you agree with me Will?"

"Of course not! I want to record an entire worth of videos that will fill up the one terabyte SD card that I put into this camera. Hold my baby so I can get the rest of my toys." He answered as he passed off the camera to Reid to fall back in the darkness of the room.
