Then my scalp begins to prickle and my ears to heat. “I’m going to be sick.”
“Swallow it down. Just a little farther to go.”
It’s difficult to say if I’m able to swallow it down. Bile rises in my stomach one moment, the next I’m being unceremoniously dropped like a sack of potatoes onto the ground. I reach out to feel for her, but can’t find her.
“Andie,” I whisper.
“Stay put. I have to find us a car.”
A car? Did I hear that right?
“An…” I manage to sit up and pry my eyes open. I’m in the middle of a parking lot, but from my lowered position between two vehicles, I can’t tell which one.
When she reappears, she’s at a low crouch. “Found one.”
“One wha— fuck!” I curse when she shoves herself under my arm once more and begins to tug. My head rolls and pounds furiously, forcing me to shut my eyes again.
She takes me somewhere not far from where she originally dropped me. Grunting, she opens the door to an idling car and shoves me in.
“Fuck! You’re going to kill me,” I grab my head when it hits the car on the way in.
Without bothering to apologize, she grabs my legs, pushes them inside and slams the door shut.
I must blackout because next thing I know, the car is moving and Andie is on the phone. “I’m on my way. Be ready for us.”
It’s impossible to lift my lids now, even though I’m desperate to see where the fuck I’m being hauled off to. However, I’m certain it’s nowhere good.
My fear is confirmed when another voice, one I haven’t heard before, comes into the picture. “He has to be tied up, Andie.”
“I have rope.”
“What?” I ask. At least I think I do. I’m not sure I can speak. Or if I can even move, because although in my mind I’m pushing them away, they’re still grabbing my arms and legs and carrying me somewhere.
“Damn, he weighs a ton,” the other woman complains.
Good, I think. I hope I fucking break your back.
“Just bend your knees,” Andie suggests.
“I’m losing my grip!” the woman cries out.
“Three more steps.”
Then, there’s a third. This one young. “Momma?”
“Shit,” Andie curses. “Go inside.”
“But—”
“I said inside, Lola.”
The girl must finally obey because somewhere in the distance a door slams. The bang it creates startles me into alertness just as I’m brought into an apartment and dropped onto the floor.
However, before I can sit up, there’s a tiny pinprick on my forearm.
“The fuck?” I glare from the young black woman still holding the syringe to my skin, to Andie who is crouched beside her.
“How long will it take to kick in?” Andie asks.
