The Shooting

Chapter 019: Now

"You are so cruel and greedy! How could own best friend try and do something like that?" Lorena was fuming and finally came to discuss what happened after homecoming with Kathy. They were in Lorena's backyard; inviting her over after the school day. Kathy scoffed and rolled her eyes. "C'mon Lorena! You can't possibly think Tyler is with you because he loves you! He loves me! He always have." Kathy retorted. Lorena stood with a blank face. "How could you ever think that? Tyler is with me because he does love me! If he really liked you, he would have came clean!"

"Well maybe he would have if you didn't get in the way! If you died when you got shot we wouldn't be in the predicament! He could have been with me!" Lorena shot her eyes wide open. She never imagined that Kathy would say something like that. "You are such a bitch." Lorena cried. "We are done. Get the fuck of out my house!"

Lorena turned around and held her face in her hands. She trembled and her heart ached. This has all became such a mess in only a matter of the week. While having her back turned she didn't realize that Kathy motioned over to the side and a man appeared out; immediately bashing the piece of wood against Lorena's head. She fell on the floor with a thud, some blood beginning to deep out of her head.

"Quick, take her to the car."

Tyler knocked on the door of Lorena's home, bringing some flowers and Skittles candy to surprise her after basketball practice. When she didn't answer the door, he knocked again a few times, even messaged her. She said she'd be at her house and speak with Kathy. Maybe in the few hours afterward, she went somewhere? Tyler decided to think that. But the gut feeling inside of his stomach told him other wise.

Turning he knob of the door, it was open, and he walked in. "Lorena?" He called out as he sat he flowers and candy on top of the dining room table. He looked around the first floor, everything in place, and checked upstairs in he bedroom and bathroom. He did take notice of the bulletin board Lorena had -able tracking her shooter - and saw a writing in red: "Come out to play! Today's game is Hide and Seek! Come fine me! Don't worry, I won't hurt Lorena. Yet."

Attached to the note was some printed photos of Lorena and Tyler himself on their dates, and even them in bed together. From below Tyler's bedroom window. He captured almost everything. Heading down the stairs, almost tripping in the process and ran all around the house. As he stood in the backyard, gripping his hair, panic seizing his heart, he saw a piece of wood and red liquid. Kneeling down and dipping his finger into it, he smelled the metal. This was blood.

With shaking hands he immediately phoned 911, and called her mother afterwards. He immediately alerted the authorities and violently shook, not being able to control how scared as hell he was. When the police came and her mother as well, Tyler told them everything.

"Is there anyone else you can think of besides her unknown shooter that would kidnap her?" The detective asked. Tyler only shook his head and when seeing his father rush in through the doors, he melted in his arms. "They t-took her." Tyler's father barely saw his son cry and held him tighter in comfort. "Don't worry, we'll find her. We'll find her."

Lorena groggily opened her eyes, batting them a few times, trying to adjust to the light and items surrounding her. Sitting up, she felt her head throb and something wet trickle down the side of her head. When going to raise her hands, they were retracted and she saw that they were chained to a post beside the bed.

She was on a bed inside a room, that looked like any plain bedroom. But seeing a moving table with certain medical utensils and a drawer half open, she could see some black belts? She assumed they were whips of some sort. Lorena recalled the events previously and realized that she was kidnapped. Kathy had to be the one to knock her out.

Is somebody looking for her? Does anybody know that she's gone? These questions swarmed her head and with loosing some more blood from her head made her dizzy. The rattle of the door open regained her attention and she saw Kathy enter in the room. "Kathy! What happened? Where am I?" Lorena immediately blurted out. Kathy's expression was full of disgust and scorn. "Shut up!" She shrieked. Lorena winced at the tone and volume, shrinking back. Kathy chuckled and ran her hand on Lorena's cheek, gripping her chin tightly.

"Now, should we let the games begin? You scream, and you'll only get hurt more." Lorena whimpered and withered in her hold. "Let me go!" Kathy rolled her eyes and huffed. Opening another drawer and pulling out some duck tape; she cut a size and plastered it onto her mouth.

"Boys!" Kathy called. Three men entered the room, their faces half covered, all muscular, shirtless, and their eyes full of lust. "it's time to play."
