CHAPTER13
Katie had long ago lost the rags that were once a fine dress. Her memories of where she’d been wearing something so pretty were fuzzy in this hell she found herself currently.
Surrounded by naked women, she didn’t feel the least bit subconscious by her own nudity.
She couldn’t remember when the last time she ate was, either. She simply drank the stale water offered her, ignoring the pangs of hunger in favor of quenching the never-ending thirst in her parched throat.
An old saying kept chanting in her mind. Take what you get and don’t throw a fit.
So she drank the water and pretended she didn’t have some memory of having a belly full of food.
When the boss man in black came for her, she followed him obediently, not understanding much more than his stilted English.
“Food. Follow.”
He unlocked her cage and waved something wrapped in paper under her nose, like tempting a stray dog with a piece of meat.
And she followed.
He led her to a room in a different building. She looked around at her surroundings, trying to place herself, but all she could see were mountains in the distance, trees a little bit closer, and a dusty compound. There were scattered buildings made of wood and stucco in a brown valley, with a large villa-type place overlooking things.
She followed the man inside another building, this one smelling wet and coppery. They entered a room with… Dentist chairs? Not exactly. She didn’t think she’d ever been to a dentist with stirrups. But she’d seen these chairs before. Somewhere.
Still, she followed the tempting aroma of edible food, so much different from the stagnant water she’d been offered. Katie sat in the seat and leaned back, too weak to sit up in the reclining chair. When he handed her the food, she started scarfing it down, her stomach cramping painfully, oblivious to everything around her as he spoke to her and the other man in the room.
She heard the crackling of a walkie-talkie and more Spanish words she didn’t understand.
Another huge bite made her stomach protest, the gag reflex in her throat working overtime. She didn’t care. She willed herself not to vomit, forcing the food down. She needed energy for whatever this place was.
A door opened and a familiar face came in.
Cassandra. Her once long brown hair had been shorn to her scalp, some places red and irritated. Her deep-brown eyes were glazed and unfocused. Dirt and grime covered every inch of her naked body. Katie’s heart broke all over again at the sight.
She had forgotten her friends. A sudden memory of right before all this came through the fog she’d been living with.
Shelley, Cassandra, and Anna all in a limo. Where had they gotten a limo? Why? Why were they together? They hadn’t hung out since high school.
The reunion.
Everything came back to her in a flash, too fast to make sense of.
And then Cassandra was strapped to a chair like hers. Only she wasn’t strapped in. And Cassandra didn’t have this sandwich.
Katie took another bite, unable to stop eating the only food she’d been given since she had gotten here.
Then a man was pushing between Cassandra’s legs, thrusting in and out of her, as her eyes went vacant. She stared at something beyond Katie.
“Stop.” Katie’s voice was impossibly weak. The man in charge looked at her with interest, coming closer.
“Nobody allowed to hurt you. Don’t worry,” he said in broken English. She flinched as he smiled at her. His teeth were black and broken, and the scent of decay washed over her. Her stomach revolted, and she leaned over to vomit at his feet.
“No. Stop with her.” She motioned at her friend being raped in front of her. By her reaction, it wasn’t the first time, either.
“She too old to sell. We use.”
As if that was all he had to say, he pulled out his cock and moved in front of her. She twisted her neck to keep looking at her friend, but the man simply grabbed her chin.
“Suck.”
