The most dangerous woman of all is the one who does not rely on your sword because she carries her own.

Warning: This chapter contains violence.
•••••••••A horrible sound of metal banging against metal has me flinging my body up.
"Ah, you're up. Good, now we can talk." Jakes says with an amused smile.
I sit up straight and push myself against the wall trying my best to get away from this man.
"Aaww you're scared." He chuckles and all I can think about is that I want to kill this man. "So we've decided that you're going to be a very sexy, very beautiful, very useful personal drug transporter." He gives me a Cheshire Cat small.
"Now eat up because you're going for surgery this afternoon and you're going to need all the strength to survive." He hands me a plate with bread, jello, an apple and a juice box.
"I hope none of it is expired." He says before exiting my cell."Make sure she eats that because she didn't eat last night we can't have another repeat." He says to the man guarding my cell.
Jake flashes me another smile and walks off. As much as I feel like crying, I won't. Since I've been here I've only cried once. I won't let them see me at my weakest.
You need to escape.
My self-conscious voice says. I need to escape but how. This man is holding a gun with him.
I start looking around and land on my sapphire stilettos.Perfect.
They are sharp and with the right amount of pressure, I can stab this man.I quickly grab both shoes and stand up slowly and creep behind the man.
He has his back towards me and it seems as though he doesn't feel my presence behind him.I stretch my arm out and slam the heel into the man's side neck.
He falls almost instantly to the ground.
I reach out and grab the keys in his pocket and unlock the cell and walk back to the man.Let's be safe.
I stab the man again with my other heel in the back. I grab his gun and start to slowly walk up the barn.
As I walk up I hear two footsteps with two voices chatting."I honestly don't get why they'd pit her here alone. Why didn't they put her with all the others." A man's voice says.
"I also don't see the point. She's not special and trust me she's not all that smart." Another man speaks. He's voice sounds familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it.
As the men come closer and closer, I take it as my time to shoot both as quick as possible.
When the men seem pretty close I shoot with identifying, sending both of them down.
I walk up to them men and gasp is shock when I see Derrick on the ground with a bullet wound on his stomach.
Kick away both men's guns and stare at Derrick, still flustered."Letta?"He says, seeming quite flabbergasted.
"I want car keys." I say amd he looks at me like I'd grown two heads.
I start searching their pockets and find car keys with a phone.
"What's the password to the phone." I look at the other man. He stays silent and I shoot him again in the let, causing him to scream in pain."Hendra." He shouts in pain and I run out of the barn.
"Jake's not here." I whisper under my breath and flash Derrick's car to life.
I run to the car and start the engine.
As I start driving, I drive with an impeccable speed. I need to get out here, I need to get away. Far, far away.I drive and drive and drive.
Once I feel like I'm far enough, I call Keegan. The phone rings a couple of times before he answers.
"You have some nerve." He starts with venom laced in his voice.
"Richardson it's me, Letta. I...I....escaped...and-and I'm driving but I--I don't know where I'm g-going." I stutter now feeling all the fear and rush in an adrenaline.
"Letta! Ok. Where are you?"
"I-I don't know. I've been driving to get away from that place." My voice shaky, my vision blurring with tears, my breathing erratic.
"Can you drive back to the building?" He suggests.
"I c-can't d-do that Richardson! I'm not from this country. I know nothing about these roads and shit!" I scream with frustration.
As I drive, the phone dies of a low battery.
I scream in frustration and throw the phone."FUCK!" I scream in frustration as a tears descend from my eyes.
How am I going to survive this now?
