The Grey's Curse

Chapter Twenty Eight - Kidnapped

"We meet again dear patient of mine" I nearly choked on my gasp of surprise and I couldn't hold back my shiver of disgust at how he was so close to my ear that I could feel his lips move as he talked.

I could barely hold in the bile in my throat.

I immediately knew who it was that grabbed me, his words an obvious sign 'Dr. Smiles' even the thought of his stupid face made my blood boil and my skin crawl 'Why is he doing this?!' I tried to scream for help but his hand on my mouth muffled all the sounds I was making; effectively stopping me from calling for help.

While struggling to get away I saw Tanner trying to crawl to me and the freak that grabbed me as I fought to wrestle my way out and away from his hold but his grip on me was too strong.

"This will be easier for the both of us if you stop squirming" I wanted to protest but the odds were against us and as much as I hated it, I knew the safest thing to do was to temporarily compile, keyword temporarily.

"Good girl" I gagged, wanting to throw up "You're probably wondering who I am right? You know that hurts the good Doctors feelings right?" I gritted my teeth and huffed "I already know" my words came out horribly muffled, I would be surprised if he even knew what I said.

He chuckled lowly in my ear "Oh, so you do remember me? Aw you 'didn't' forget about me" I leaned away from him, trying to make as much space between us as I could as I knew that escaping him would be impossible at the moment but I just wanted to be as far from him as possible.

I would almost rather be stuck with the monster instead of this creep.

"Come on now, don't be like that, I work for someone who really wants you for something, they have decided to stay anonymous so I can't tell you who, but it must be something important" My brows furrowed in confusion at his words.

'This doesn't make any sense, who would want me and what for? He has to be mistaken' I wanted to voice my suspicions and tell him that he has the wrong person but his hand on my mouth wouldn't let me.

In a last ditch effort to make him move his hand, I made more urgent muffled noises, trying to get him to let me talk "If you promise not to scream, I'll let you talk but if you do scream, well, I'll let you figure that out" his voice was sadistic, smug and I had no choice but to nod, seeing no other option.

'Hopefully if all goes well I shouldn't have to play pretend for long'

He slowly removed his glove covered hand from my mouth "Look, I think you have the wrong person, I barley know anybody and I certainly don't know anyone that would want me kidnapped" my words were shaky from adrenaline and fear. 

He hummed and chuckled at that "Hmm no, they explicitly said bring me 'Maria Grey' they also added in details of what their target looked like and you match perfectly with it so please, don't worry, you 'are' the target" I kept opening and closing my mouth, wanting to say something but nothing came out.

'Who would want to kidnap me? And why?'

I felt like I couldn't breath when a certain thought hit me "What about Tanner?" My heart was racing when he took his sweet time to reply.

"Oh don't worry about him, I'll take care of him soon" I took in a shuddering breath 'This has to be the work of my grandmother, but why would she do this?' I couldn't believe this was actually happening 'I'm really getting kidnapped' the thought was both numbing and terrifying at the same time.

"Stop playing games and just tell me who sent you" I nearly yelled out but managed to reign myself back in 'I want answers and I can't get that if I'm practically gagged' he clicked his tongue and I could feel him shake his head. 

"I already told you that they wanted to stay anonymous" he talked to me condescendingly, as if I was a child and making me grit my teeth in anger "It doesn't matter if they want to be anonymous if I'm going to be sent to them" I reasoned and he went quiet for a moment before he chuckled.

He roughly grabbed my chin, his fingers painfully digging into my skin and making me wince as he made me face him and I instinctively glared up at him while he smiled back joyfully.

"While that is true, orders are orders and if I want to get paid and get a good review, I simply must follow them" I rolled my eyes at him.

"But you're a Doctor and the last time 'I checked' Doctors typically get paid well, so why do this?" He
raised his eyebrows at that and somehow managed to smile wider.

"I'm what you would call...greedy and I actually quite enjoy both my day and night job" his voice was light and carefree with a sadistic quality to it.

I felt numb, there is truly no way of talking him out of this 'The sadistic freak enjoys doing this' my legs trembled in fear when he began to lead me to a normal looking car, I looked back at Tanner to see him trying desperately to stand up and he nearly made it too but fell just as he got up and I grimaced when he landed on his stomach.

'That's where he got stabbed'

'This can't be happening...' I resisted as much as I could and threw my head back; successfully hitting him in the chin and making him hiss in pain but his hands stayed firmly on me, I yelped when he angrily threw me in the car.

I land on the floor in the back of the car, wincing in pain when my head hit the car door roughly. he slammed the door shut and got in the driver's seat and soon we were on our way, presumably to the person that paid this freak to kidnap me.

'I still don't get it, how could this be happening? And what does this person want from me?' I tried to hold back my tears but a few rebelliously ran down my face anyway.

'Why can't I have a good day without worrying about the monster and now this?' I slumped against a door; watching the scenery go by blankly as we surely drove to my doom.

'This is probably it isn't it? This person is probably going to kill me and if they don't Doctor smile sure will' I was still worried about Tanner too 'Who knows how bad his wound really is? It could be worse then what I thought, he's probably getting kidnapped too or he's...dead' both options were too hard to think about.

My heart ached at the thought of him getting hurt, but it shattered at the thought of him murdered, I knew that if he did end up dead it would be my fault. I glanced over at Doctor smiles who hummed along to a random song on the radio.

"Please, just tell me if Tanner will be okay" desperation was one of the only things I felt right now 'I have to know what they plan on doing to him' he stops humming and looked at me from the corner of his eye.

"Does it truly matter whether he's dead or alive when he's going to be end up dead either way?"
