Torn

Chapter 7

I didn't sleep that night. I was so worried about The Undertaker coming in the room again that I wanted to just sit there and act like it didn't happen. He was truly evil…a man of his word to the bone. I was awake well into the next morning, just in time to catch another fight between my coach and my kidnapper.

"Sara would you please just let this go!" The Undertaker snapped. "I have no idea where his niece is!"

She sniffled, "Mark, John told me that his friends told him that they were attacked by a gang of biker guys and that they kidnapped his niece! You're the leader of the only real biker gang here in town!"

"So that makes me and my boys suspects right away? Sara there are a lot of men around here who ride bikes." He explained. "We are innocent….I swear."

I listened as she began pacing back and forth, "Ok Mark fine….but if I find out that you or your little gang had anything to do with that girl's kidnapping…we're through."

With that she stalked off from him and went upstairs. I sighed and crouched down into the corner of the room. All I wanted to do was go home but that didn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. I was starving, cold, and barely conscious at this point. Part of me wished deeply for death but I didn't want to leave John behind. I had to remain strong at least for his sake.

Later on that night, my eyes popped open at the sound of several footsteps marching down into the basement. I hid my face thinking they would come into the room I was in, but instead they stayed out in the man cave.

"So your wife is on to us huh?" one guy said.

The Undertaker sighed, "Yeah like a hawk. I may have to move her somewhere else,"

"Could always call up your brother,"

Undertaker chuckled, "And have him use her for his own personal pleasure? I don't think so..."

One of them sighed, "Yeah thats true, but his basement has sound proof walls. No one would hear her down there.

"I'll think about it.... Anyways I wanted to run something by you guys." He said as he started pacing.

"What's up boss?"

"I'm considering taking John up on his offer,"

"You mean take the girl and fight him by yourself? No way man! We refuse to let you go alone!"

"What makes you think I wasn't going to ask you guys to be there anyway?" The Undertaker said darkly." You guys will be there just not where he can see you."

I squeezed my arms around my legs hating that I had no way of warning John about their little plans. Then again…why was I so worried about John? He was the reason I was in this mess. Part of me wanted to tear his face off whenever I saw him again, but at this point I doubted that seeing him again was in my future.

"What was the challenge he made to you again?" one of the other guys asked.

The Undertaker laughed, "He wants me to bring his niece with me to the park Friday night where he will fight me one on one. If he can withstand or beat me, I'll return her to him."

"And if you kill him?" the first guy said.

"Then I guess the little one will be all alone in this world." He said.
