Hawk
“IfIhadmybat, you’d be sorry, you floozy.”
Nana’s words were distant and warped as if I were underwater. I struggled to open my eyes, but my lids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds each. I heard other voices. Screams. Sadistic laughter.
I knew that laugh. It sounded so familiar.
I shook my head to chase the fog away, but that made me dizzy. I lost the fight for consciousness and returned to total darkness. Everything went quiet.
After a time, I heard voices again. I didn’t know if one second had passed or one year.
“Don’t touch her, bitch. Stay away from my Nana.”
Lila? Her voice sounded so far away. And pissed, but also scared. Something was wrong. She needed my help. I needed to wake up.
I fought against the heavy void. I was sitting down, but on what? And where? I tried to move my arms. I couldn’t. I tried to move my legs. I couldn’t do that either. I squirmed, and my balls rubbed on the cold metal surface under my ass. I must be on one of the kitchen chairs. And why was I naked?
I had to get free. Maybe if I rolled over. I lurched my body sideways. The sensation of falling overtook me, and I landed on my shoulder, my arms pinned behind my back.
“Well, looks like sleepyhead finally woke up,” a woman’s voice said.
I knew that voice. So familiar, yet I couldn’t get my brain to function.
That awful sadistic laughter again.
Fiona? Couldn’t be. If it was…
Wake the fuck up, Hawk! Lila needs you.
Hands grabbed each of my arms and hauled me off the floor, putting the chair upright with me in it.
I peeled my eyes open. Squinting in the light, I scanned the room.
My heart raced. Fiona stood in front of me in Lila’s living room. Butch at her side. What the fuck was going on?
Lila sat on a chair a few feet away from me. At least she had a robe on. Her hands were tied behind her back. She was alive, but her right eye was purple and swelling shut.
Anger boiled in my blood. They were going to fucking pay for laying their hands on her as soon as I could get these bindings off my wrists.
Where was Nana?
I looked around but couldn’t see her.
“Get your hands off me.” Nana’s voice came from the guest bedroom.
I suppressed my sigh of relief.
Fiona sat her skinny ass on my lap and put a blade to my dick. Not enough to stab me, but enough to break the skin and make me bleed. “I bet you’re regretting not marrying me now, huh?” Her blond hair stank of bleach and cigarettes.
“Never,” I said.
What the fuck were they doing here? How had they found me? And how had they broken in without me hearing them?
Lila really was my weakness. One night of sharing feelings and my enemy had crashed in and caught me.
Wait…it was coming back to me. I’d heard them come in, the muffled footsteps approaching Lila’s room. I had jumped out of bed to get my gun from the chair in the corner. I’d been careless, leaving my gun out of reach while I slept. I hadn’t had time to reach it before Butch hit me in the back of my head.
