She wondered why he had to leave to call Paul; he could have talked in front of her. Oh well, it probably would have given her reflux anyway.
She walked into the kitchen and found food left on the table with a note, “Breakfast is at seven, if you don’t show up your food is cold. Enjoy, Quinn.” Man, that lady was a hopeless case.
She looked down at the cold eggs and sausage, maybe tomorrow. She skimmed through the cabinets and found some blueberry pop tarts, excellent. She decided to eat them in her room so she could call Shana and have privacy. Her stomach was still a little queasy.
She walked out of the kitchen and into the main hallway when the house unexpectedly shook. At first she thought it was an earthquake, they were in California after all, but after seeing the ramming bar of a car come through the front door she knew she was in deep shit.
A man hopped out of the car, and out of the blue, snatched her. Katie screamed and hit the stinky brute on his back. She attempted to kick him in the balls, but he held her too tight. He propelled her into the back, hitting her head on the side of the van.
Katie saw stars but she held onto consciousness, barely. “What is it you want from me, gentlemen?” She sounded cool and calm because she was pretty sure she knew who had taken her.
It was Big Eddie’s voice that she heard in the front of the van, “Where the hell did she find this kind of protection? These guys won’t let up.”#p#分页标题#e#
She gave a secret smile knowing that these assholes were going to get what they deserved. “It would be best, for all of you, if you let me go now. No hard feelings. Heck, I won’t even press charges.”
“Funny Ward. You were always such a hard bitch; I’m going to enjoy fucking a little softness into you. It has been my dream to make you writhe beneath me in pleasure. Nothing ever cracked your hard shell. Well baby, I plan on doing just that.”
She was dumbfounded, “You seriously kidnapped me and tried to shoot me for a lay? Damn but you’re pathetic. Go to a whore house, or find a prostitute.”
He glowered at her, “No, I like a challenge and after I’m done fucking you, which you’ll love, I’m going to sell you to a particular client I have. You’re right up his alley.”
She hooted her laughter, “If your client likes vomit, then yeah, your right, he’ll love me. I swear on all that is Holy, if you try and touch me, I’ll be sick.” This was hilarious, a no win situation but she’d play along. She really did wish Shana had given her the gun. No use crying over spilled milk.
Chapter 15
Katie sat in the back of the van for what seemed like hours. It was probably more like forty five minutes when the van jolted to a stop. Big Eddie came around and opened the door. She had cramps in her legs and several times thought about jumping out of the van while it was in motion, but she’d never forgive herself if she hurt her pups. Conner would come for her, the question was, would he be in time?
“Get out,” Big Eddie said. Katie noticed he had a sutured gash on his face, and an arm in a sling, with numerous bruises.
“Uh, I don’t think so. You’re not my boss anymore so you can’t tell me what to do.” She figured she’d go for broke, “Damn, who whooped your ass? I’d have liked to get in on that action.
“Vinnie, give her some help.”
Vinnie proceeded to slap her face. Then snatched a clump of her hair, and pulled her from the van by her hair.
“Ouch Vinnie, you’re such a girl. Only girls pull hair and bitch slap. It seems to me you’re in need of a teacher. I’ll show you how it’s done.” She balled up her fist, and Big Eddie backed up, as Vinnie stood his ground.
She balled up her fist like she was going to hit his face, and swung.At the last minute, when his eyes closed, she changed the direction of her momentum, opened her hand and grabbed his balls. With his balls in a firm grip, she twisted her wrist. As he was falling to the ground she kneed him in the face.
“Poor Vinnie.” She looked at Big Eddie, “Now that your henchman’s down, what are your plans? You can’t take me on your own, what with being wounded yourself.”
“Oh, but I can.” He pulled out a Taser and shot her.
Motherfucker that hurt. She had been tazered only once during training. Her whole body shook and she had no control. Big Eddie seized her, taking advantage of her incapacity, and dragged her to a cabin using his good arm. Nice, first she gets tazered and now she has pine needles in her ass. God bless it. She hoped he ripped his stitches open.
He pulled her into the cabin and directed the driver of the van to keep watch. He turned to Katie, “We only have a few hours because by then your ride will be here to collect you, and I have a direct flight to sunny Mexico.”
