“If you throw up, I will kill you here and now.”
I force the bile right back in, and he speeds away.
“Your phone.”
I give him my phone, and he throws it outside. My phone had a tracker in it, so my chances of being found lay scattered on the asphalt. Fuck it, when Cato comes back, I’ll implant a tracking chip myself. I guess there is no other way in our world. Fine by me.
Silence engulfs us.
My body stiffens with every mile we drive. He halts at a small port.
“Get out. If you scream for help, you’re going to be dead the next second.”
I nod, my words stuck in my throat. I’m doing a shit job of protecting myself.
He pushes me toward a deck of a small fisherman’s boat, through a door and down on a chair.
“Sit.”
I half fall, half drop on the chair. Sergio binds my wrists and ankles, a hiss leaving my lips.
He covers my mouth with tape and the adrenaline is so high, it makes me dizzy.
He punches at his phone, recording, and when I see Cato through the screen, his face turns ashen.
I mouth, “I love you” from underneath the tape, and it’s as if he knows, because for just a second, his eyes turn alive again. The man snatches the phone from my face. What if this is the last time I see him?
He hangs up after saying, “Give me the command already.” And I know this man wants to kill me, and there is nothing that will stop him.
I fight against my restraints. He pulls the tape from my mouth, and I spat, “You’re a monster.” Only I could provoke a killer even more. Being myself till the end.
“You should know, you married one. Don’t talk, don’t push me.”
“I did nothing to you.”
“No, but you will give me my revenge.”
His phone rings, and a woman’s cries ring on the other side.
He cups his neck and screams. “Fuck, fuck.”
He throws the phone away, nostrils flaring. He marches to me, and I flinch.
“That fucking sneaky bastard.”
He unties me, and I rub my wrists, not knowing what is happening.
It’s only now I look around and my eyes stop on a photo of him and a beautiful woman and a small boy.
“Is that your wife and son?”
He slumps in the chair and nods, the fight leaving him.
“He’s going to kill them anyway. While I got to you because you came to me, he found them just like this.”
I know these thoughts are more for him, but I am so tired of the bloodshed, of everything.
“I won’t let him do anything to your family.”
