Chapter Thirty-Five
He
H e’s coming to get me. He’s going to find me. He’s going to kill this fucker. That’s right. He’s going to kill him. With his bare hands too. And I hope I get to watch. Yeah. I want to see it happen. I want to see what Linc does to him.
What do you think Linc will do here? Huh?
Maybe he’ll cut the guy’s hands off first. Since the guy touched me. Grabbed me. Put a greasy smelling hand over my mouth and pinched my nose, telling me he would kill me if I tried to escape. Yeah, that’s a good start.
Cut his fucking hands off, Linc! Then his mouth. Rip his fucking teeth out, Linc! And then his eyes… Gouge his fucking eyes out, Linc!
Nova’s thoughts ran rampant. The more violent they became, the worst she felt. Her hands were tied behind her back and her left ankle tied with some kind of metal chain that was then tied to a pipe that did not move at all.
“I’m going to throw up!” Nova called out.
She leaned forward and felt her stomach give out.
She heaved loudly and out came vomit.
Splattering against the old hardwood floor in the beat-up looking house.
A door opened, followed by a laugh.
“Oh, shit, girl, look at you go,” he said.
Nova looked up at him . She didn’t have a name. He didn’t give one to her. Which was smart. Part of his plan. He walked away and came back with a towel and dropped it on the floor over the vomit.
Then he crouched down. “I ain’t cleaning you up.”
“Then let my hands go so I can,” Nova said. “My ankle is hooked to a fucking pipe. I can’t go anywhere.”
“You’re a fighter though. I can see it in your eyes. You’ve got outlaw blood in you. You’ve got survival blood. Street smarts.”
“What the fuck do you want with me?” Nova asked.
“Relax. It’s all going to work out just fine. Sorry things are delayed right now. I consider myself a capitalist. I believe in basic economic theory. In other words, supply and demand. Get it?”
Nova shook her head. “I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.”
He laughed and clapped his hands. “See, you are feisty as hell. I figured you’d piss your pants. You know? But you did throw up.”
“Want to know why I threw up? Because I’m thinking of all things Linc is going to do to you. And you know what? I’m going to tell him what to do. That’s right. You’re going to be chained up. And Linc is going to ask me what to do to you. I’m going to tell him. It’s going to be so fucking painful too. I’ll make sure you stay alive as long as possible!”
Nova yelled, growled, and then vomited again.
He patted her back and sighed.
“I hate vomit,” he said. “I can handle a lot. Piss. Whatever. But vomit just… it bothers me. It’s gross. I was going to have some fun with you. I guess not now. Damn.”
That made Nova shiver. Her stomach wretched once more but nothing came out. She looked up at him again.
“You’re going to pay for this,” Nova said.
“If you say so,” he said. “Just hang tight. Won’t be much longer.”
“Won’t be much longer for what?”
“It’s the same ending no matter what… I’m going to kill you…”
