His thumb trailed along my chin, and I had to fight to keep myself from shivering in repulsion. Tears welled in my eyes, and I desperately held them back, remembering what he said earlier about liking when women cried.

His chuckle made my hair on the back of my neck and my arms stand on end. I held my breath when he leaned closer, but he pushed my face away when I tried to pull back. I trembled, desperately wishing I could back away from him, but with the wall against my back, I had nowhere to go.

“You did good work in here. Everything else but this one is working, right?”

He tipped his head towards the outlet. I nodded quickly, averting my gaze. “I-I’d need d-different tools to f-fix it. I-I thought I’d c-come back to it.”

“Such a good girl.” He took a step back. I wanted to look at him, try and gauge what he was thinking, but I was too terrified to look up until he spoke again.

“Looks like you earned a reward. Clink never did take his cut, after all. We’ll give it to you instead.”

My eyebrows drew together, and I looked up hesitantly. Hammer smirked and snapped his fingers, and the two guys who’d been watching me all evening lunged towards me. I screamed and tried to run, but they grabbed me before I could make it a few feet away. They didn’t bring me to the mattress again, instead ‌carrying me to the kitchen while I kicked and screamed. One of them forced me down on top of the table and pinned me with his weight while the other grabbed my arm, holding it still across the tabletop. When Hammer stepped closer with a needle in his hand, I shook my head helplessly.

“No! No! Please!”

He grinned at me. “I always keep my word. I promised Clink his cut of the product. Since you’re his ol’ lady, you can take it for ‘im. Be a good girl and hold still. I promise, you’ll like this.”

He jabbed the needle into my arm, and I watched in horror as he pushed the plunger. The drugs hit me instantly, my heart racing out of control as the world around me went blurry. It felt like I was on a ship, the room dipping and moving. I couldn’t hear much over my heavy breathing and the pounding of my heart in my ears, but I did hear Hammer’s chuckle.

“Once that sets in, she’ll be begging for it. Leave her be. You can have her once she comes to you. Fucker will lose his goddamn mind watching the videos of her begging for more.”

They laughed, and I felt the weight on my back disappear. I couldn’t stay upright on my own and black was slowly overtaking my vision. I dropped onto the floor, smacking my head on the peeling linoleum.

I didn’t know how long I laid there. Long enough to annoy Hammer. He came back with a second dose, telling me I could either get up and put out, or die. I would’ve chosen the latter if I managed to stay conscious. But after he pushed in that second dose, everything went black, and I passed out again. All I could hope was that I didn’t wake back up.

CLINK

Reaper knew I wasn’t going to wait around for the crew to show up. Most of them were in the city, looking for Sam, but they weren’t near us. He told Neo to update the crew and hung up, following me out of the parking lot to the location Neo gave us.

Guilt, fear, worry all ate at me as we tore through the city. The only reason I didn’t panic was because fury was at the top of the fucking list. This piece of shit was dying tonight for touching my girl. No more fucking around. I was done playing his game. He fucked with the wrong person and tonight I was going in, guns blazing.

My jaw hurt from clenching it so tight, especially since the location that Neo sent us was close to the abandoned joint we hid in after Hammer’s last attack. He was only a few blocks away, still hiding like a fucking coward. We pulled off a couple blocks away, not wanting to give away our approach with the noise of our engines.

Reaper was the expert in stealth and shit, but it wasn’t his old lady that had been taken. I wasn’t going to tip toe along and give them more time to hurt her. Instead, I went straight through the fucking front door, my gun already poised and ready. The two near the kitchen hit the ground before the door had time to rebound from the force of it flying open.

I heard shouts coming from the second floor, so we headed that way first, shooting anyone wearing a cut. Reaper had my back, taking out a few more who had been in another room behind me. I heard female screams and my heart lodged in my throat, worried it was Sam who was screaming like that. I kicked the first door open, shooting the asshole looking for his piece, but the woman naked in the bed wasn’t Sam. I ignored her, swinging around, and came up short at a muzzle pressed against my forehead.

“Should’ve never double crossed me,” Hammer snarled.

His finger twitched, but before he could take me out, Reaper tackled him. I moved, taking out the guys who appeared out of the other rooms while Reaper wrestled Hammer’s gun from him. Once I knew there wasn’t anymore, I moved to help him, smashing my gun against Hammer’s temple. It knocked his ass out and I left Reaper to deal with him while I searched the rooms. The one Hammer had been in was empty, but the other two had more women in them. All naked, all in tears. I didn’t know if they were sweetbutts who were fucking terrified or if they were also forced to be here and I didn't have time to find out. None of them were Sam.

“Where the fuck is she?” I bellowed.

“Check downstairs,” Reaper grunted as he tied Hammer’s hands behind his back. “His bedroom window is open. She could’ve booked it when he was distracted.”

I bounded back down the stairs and raced for the door, but a flash of familiar clothing in the kitchen made me skid to a stop. Sam was on the floor in the kitchen, her face pale and her skin clammy. She was laying in a puddle of vomit and her breathing was shallow.

“Sam? Sam! Wake up, baby!”

Pulling her into my lap, I patted her face frantically. She didn’t even flinch, and her lips looked like they were turning blue.

“Reaper!” I shouted.

He came barreling down the stairs at mach speed, only slowing when he kneeled down beside me. I shot him a terrified look, screaming at him.

“She won’t wake up!”
