GAME ON

Chapter Twenty-five

"Wakey wakey Kittie" a deep voice said close to Shiller's ear. She heard murmuring around her but couldn't identify the voices. Her head was throbbing seriously and her eyes felt too heavy to open.
She decided to wait a few more minutes then heard whispers again, the voices familiar and she wanted to know who they were. Finally, the pain in her head reduced a bit and she started to opened her eyes slowly. She looked around to find the source of the voice that woke her up. Only one person called her Kittie. She looked to her right and found her brothers looking at her and snickering. It wasn't him.
Was this a dream? They're here? And..why are they laughing?
"Mike! Mitch!" She screeched, standing up..well, tried to but she ended up falling back down with her butt kissing the ground, hard.
"Ow!" She exclaimed and tried to rub it but noticed her hands were tied. Her brain clicked and she really looked around her for the first time, noticing her surroundings. They were in a room with no windows in sight. The place was a bit dusty and dirt was littered almost everywhere.
"We've been kidnapped!" She said, wide-eyed
"Wow, I didn't know that. Good job Sherlock!" she heard another voice drawl and that was when she noticed her mother sitting in a corner all by herself.
"Mum!"
"Daughter!" Elizabeth replied sacarstically
The boys snickered loudly
"You find this funny? Really?" She turned to her mother "Mum! This isn't the time for that!" Turning to her brothers again, she said "how do we get out of here? We need to and fast!"
"Yeah right, with Mr Scowly and Mr Grumpy still alive, I don't think we're getting out of here anytime soon" Mike said
"Who are those?"
"The freaks ordered to watch us and make sure we don't 'escape" Mitch replied
"And they're really doing a fine job of that!" Elizabeth said and they all laughed.
Trust her family to make jokes in the middle of the most serious situations.
"How long have you guys been here? I've been calling your phones but you haven't been picking up, all three of you"
"We've been here for like five days or so" Mike shrugged
"Five days?!"
"Yeah and they seized our phones so we couldn't reach you"
"I hope they didn't hurt you guys?" Shiller asked worriedly, quickly scanning each one of them with her eyes
"Nah, we're fine Kittie" Mike replied
She felt her face flaming "you're not allowed to call me that"
"Yeah..only lover boy is" Mitch teased
"Does he know you're missing?" Elizabeth asked
"I don't know, Mum. He would have figured that out by now though" she sighed. She missed him.
"Any idea why we're even in this situation in the first place?" Mitch spoke up after sometime. Elizabeth sighed, shaking her head slightly "I really hope it's not who I'm thinking and for what reason I already know"
Shiller shook her head also, tears starting to brim in her eyes. She just hoped they all got out of this alive...and soon.

"Any news yet?" Ray asked Tony anxiously for like the millionth time
"No, we're still on it. You need to calm down, Ray. Fretting like this won't help solve anything, you need a clear mind to help us figure this out" Tony spoke gently as if he was talking to a child
"Calm down? How can I calm down when the love of my life is out there..somewhere..and I don't even know what's happening to her!" he ran his hands through his hair and tugged
"I love her man, I really do. I can't loose her"
"I know Ray. I know and you won't" Tony said firmly
"I'll send some of my men out, we need to find all four of them before something bad happens"
"Yeah"
A question suddenly popped up in Tony's head and he turned to Ray "you once asked me for a tracking device. Did you use it?"
Ray's eyes widened as he remembered "y-yes. Yes! There's this necklace she always wore, I decided to put it inside. It was after meeting Clarissa in her home and I just couldn't shake off that bad feeling" he said, hope brimming in his heart.
"Okay then, let's start with that" Tony said, rubbing his hands together

***
Just as they were talking, the door opened and two men stepped inside the room. Both men looked so intimidating and unfriendly, they all stopped talking immediately.
"Do we really have to stay with them?" the one covered in tattoos and piercings complained in a gruff voice, turning to his partner who only shrugged and said,
"Boss is gonna be here soon anyway"
He huffed and gave each one of them hard looks, making them shiver with fright.
A few seconds later,
"Can I use the bathroom real quick?" Came a deep but small voice at the back, Mike.
The big guy replied "No and you're not allowed to speak"
Mike scowled at him and muttered something along the lines of 'bitch' under his breath and the man caught it and marched towards the who slowly backed away, internally cursing his big mouth. He closed his eyes and waited for the hit that was to come but it never did because he was saved by his hand being held by someone else and when he saw who it was, he was shocked.
The man had a striking resemblance to Shiller, especially those emerald green eyes.
"Leave the boy alone Spike. You and Rusty should wait for me outside" he turned to the group on the floor, gave an evil smirk and said "well, well, well, what do we have here?"
Chills ran down each of their spines as he spoke, his voice smooth but chilling
"The more the merrier indeed" he said, rubbing his hands together "the fun is just about to get started"
"Perfect!" Another voice said, it was feminine. Clarissa.
