“Fucking hell! What the fuck! Who the fuck sent this? How do you have it? I’m going to kill whoever is responsible for this!” He’s a madman.

“So, I guess you know who you’re looking at, right? The little girl?” I ask, watching the curious gazes of my mates as they try to put the pieces together. Garrett knows it’s Kitten in the video, but the other two haven’t caught on yet.

“Yes, I would fucking know those eyes anywhere!” Tyler booms, and I know my mates can hear his words crackle through the speaker.

“That video got sent to all the kids at the Halloween party tonight. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with her old foster parents. The mum has been calling and messaging Rhys, threatening her. She demanded Rhys go to visit her old foster dad in prison, and she went. I don’t know what happened when she went there, but I have a feeling she did something she didn’t want to do, and this Julie chick won’t get off her case. She told her that if she doesn’t go back to see the man in prison, that Rhys will regret it. I think this video is the repercussions of her not going back.”

I watch Garrett’s face turn red as his anger bubbles to the surface, and Simon and Marcus look at each other as if they both realise at the same time that the video was of Rhys. A little girl version of her, anyway.

“Where is Kitten?” Tyler demands, and I flinch as regret fills me. I should never have let Rhys come to this party. Not after what happened at the Feast last night.

“I don’t know. She ran off. She dropped her phone and the wig she was wearing. Do you have any idea of where she would go? I’m worried about her after last night.”

“What the fuck happened last night?” Garrett booms.

“Am I on speaker?” Tyler hisses.

“No, you’re not on speaker,” I tell Tyler and then address Garrett in a hushed tone. “I’ll fill you in soon.”

“Fuck. This is bad. I have no idea where Kitten would go.” Tyler sounds distraught. “I’ll jump in my car and drive around. Keep her phone with you.” Tyler demands, and I agree before hanging up.

“Start fucking talking, Bossi! What happened last night?” The menacing tone is from Marcus this time, and I know I’m about to reveal a big fucking secret, but Kitten needs our help, and I need them to understand the seriousness of what’s going on.

“Right, well, let me put this in the simplest way I can.” I give Marcus and Simon pointed looks because they are the ones who know nothing about what I’m about to reveal. “Rhys has been going to a sex club for a while now, and I started going, which is how we hooked up.” I give Marcus an apologetic look, but his eyes narrow as his anger rises. “Anyway, Kitten… I mean Rhys. Kitten is her name at the sex club. Anyway, she did something that was against the rules, and last night she was punished for it.” I cringe before I can even get the words out. “She was basically humiliated in front of everyone at the sex club and tortured through pleasure.”

“What? Tortured through pleasure? I don’t understand.” Marcus asks, and Simon asks his own question.

“You both go to a sex club?”

“Yes, Hastings. Focus. Rhys was punished at the sex club. And to answer your question, Grady, extreme pleasure stimulation is a form of torture. She was in a bad way by the time I got to her, and got her out of there. It was non-consensual, so even though her body will heal, she was effectively assaulted last night.” I suck in a breath and shake my head, looking down at my feet for a moment as I try to form more words. “They fucking pissed on her!”

An explosion of pain pelts my face, causing me to stumble backwards, and I fall on my arse. The harsh asphalt of the road isn’t kind at catching my fall, and my palms graze while the white pants of this ridiculous costume audibly rips.

“You fucking prick! You should have stopped that from happening! How could you stand by and watch that be done to my girl!” Marcus screams, his fists flying towards me again, but they don’t make contact this time. Garrett's thick arms wrap around his waist, holding him at bay.

“I did try to stop it! They fucking kicked me out for interfering, but I broke back in. I fucking tried!” I scream back, ignoring the porch lights that flick on at the houses surrounding us. “This isn’t helping, man! We need to find her. Don’t you understand? After what happened last night and what happened tonight, I’m scared that she’ll do something stupid.”

“That little girl was her in the video?” Simon asks quietly, still trying to comprehend what happened, and we all fall still as I nod.

“She told me she was eleven years old when she lost her virginity.” Garrett rasps, not able to hide his emotions, “She said she didn’t even know what virginity was when it happened.”

“Eleven?” Simon asks, and Garrett nods.

“She’s going to hurt herself,” Marcus whispers.

That’s what I’m scared of. I can’t say those words out loud, though. I’m not willing to admit that my Kitten has been pushed that far, but I know she has. She’s been hurting for a while now, and this is fucking as close to rock bottom as you can get, so I need to find her before it’s too late.

“Who were you talking to on the phone just now?” Marcus asks, and I feel like shit for revealing all of this stuff that he has no idea about.

“It was the other guy Rhys has a thing with. His name is Tyler, and that’s all I can tell you.” I stand up off the road and dust off my arse.

“Why?” Simon asks, and I shrug.

“He’s an older guy, and she’s only seventeen. That’s why.”

“Shit,” Marcus mutters, a look of defeat flitting across his face.

“We need to figure out where Rhys would go. Does she have a special place she likes to go to be alone?” Garrett asks, and both Marcus and I shake our heads. “Think damn it! Where would she want to go if she wanted to end things?” Garrett hisses, and we all flinch at his words.
