chapter 2: arrival

KIIARA

They push me into what feels like a truck, judging from the engine sounds and the way the car was moving.

I could not see, touch, or say anything as they wrapped my mouth shut with a much more effective tape than the ones you see in cliche movies.

The ride was taking  hours and I tried to forget it and take some sleep since it was one in the morning.

I was freaking out, nervous, and enraged at the fact that someone wanted to harm my sweet brother.

After the shit we have been through these past months.

In January, my parents died in a huge crash that made absolutely no sense.

In an instant, my beautiful funny family was gone like the wind.

We have had the FBI work on the case, but it was dismissed after 3 days.

To this day I do not know why, and the void of the fact that I do not know why my parents died hurts me to this day.

I turned 18 in November, so I was legally able to take care of Jordan.

I had an aunt who lived nearby and she was always watching us, but I know it was more out of pity than love because she never moved in to help me.

a few hours later

The doors open and I sit up instantly as two people pick me out of the truck.

They weren't hurting me but would press harder if I budged.

They untied my mouth and my legs loose enough to walk, but tight where I couldn't kick them in their basketballs.

We stay in silent for a minute, till I was tired of being quiet.

"Are we in your lair?"

One of them snickers, but stays silent.

"Did you take me out of the country or something?"

No response.

"What do you plan on doing with me? Using me as human turkey bacon? Which by the way, sucks ass. Turkey bacon is gross."

No comment.

I stop abruptly, the men tripping over my sudden halt. "I want to meet your leader."

Again, no response. "I said I want to meet you fucking leader, and if you don't I will make this hard for you. It is clear you report to someone and I am sure as hell he will be pissed if you come all this way without nothing. Either you answer me or your leader does."

That's how you do it, Kiiara. Pop off.

One of the men sighs. "Just tell her, man."

"No, he told us to get the boy, I don't know what he will do with her."

Those words make my stomach tie in a knot of fear.

I do not want to get hurt by someone illegal.

"Ayo! Tell Boss we are back and tell him our captor wants to meet him."

I don't hear anything else until they suddenly push me forward.

"Hey!", I yell. "Where are you taking me? I want to know- don't push me you twat!"

They drag me and gently push my shoulders down. Where I sit on some sort of bench. I could tell we were outside from the breeze I felt even though I was still blindfolded.
