Chapter 4: Pain
SCENE 2
Setting: Manhattan, New York - NIGHT.
Jane and Elena are sent back to the headquarters in Los Angeles informing Charlie and Rebekah Bosley about the situation. However, Sabina is kidnapped and taken to Manhattan, New York and is interrogated and tortured by Travis Blackburn for the last couple of days.
An old and unused underground station is where Sabina is currently accumulated. Lights are dimly lit and antique walls surround the area; dirty puddles and rats running heavily across the floor. Sabina, who is now wearing battered clothing she is tied up in a wooden chair and is struggling to move her body, as her skin is roughly covered in deep wounds. Sabina feels afraid as she is alone, where she has fallen into a state of unconsciousness.
FLASHBACK
Setting: Park Avenue, Manhattan New York - DAY.
A young Sabina who had just won a fox hunting competition back in London, England has returned to Park Avenue, New York. Daughter of an Heiress in the Mafia family, Sabina's traits and personality are somewhat spoilt, rebellious and childish as she is always after on what she wanted.
Sabina who walks along the main entrance of the building collides into an old man who looked elegant and assertive and was holding a glass of water from his hands.
"Sorry, Ma'am. My apologies." The old man softly spoke in an empathetic tone.
"Excuse me? You better watch it next time old man!" Sabina spoke harshly.
"Young girl, you better watch what you speak! You do not realize how hard your parents must have worked for you. And most of all, they did this because they love and care for you." The old man responded.
Sabina, who completely ignored what the old man had just said, continues to march along opposite his direction. Somehow, the old man slips a card onto her side pocket.
When Sabina arrives in her room, she decided to change her clothes from the water spill earlier. As she changed her clothing, the card slipped out of her pocket in which she picked up firmly.
As the card described:
Dearest Sabina, I can help you.
"1-800-TOWNSEND-AGENCY."
Regards,
Charlie.
END OF FLASHBACK
SABINA WILSON'S P.OV.
Suddenly, I feel a strong force in my left face as I felt battered and broken. I slowly gain my consciousness as I weakly open my eyes. Travis, who is now wearing a grey shirt and dark-colored pants, stands next to me with his fists closed tightly and splashed with red stains. His hair and eyes were graphite grey, his hair dark as night, as his skin like olives, and is taller than me. And of course, Travis was perfect for a Mafia sidekick.
"I can see that you have joined a mercenary, on what you call 'Angels'. Too bad one of them exposed you, and that made the job very easy for me Sabina. Oh! And the crowd did such a great job of acting, none of them are harmed. Yet." Travis spoke in a sinister tone.
I then spit out a thick, red oozing liquid from my mouth directly across his face. "But it's not what you think. You are nothing compared to me, I am nothing compared to you. And, how dare you. How dare you to have the audacity to hurt people like that?!" I intensely stare at Travis, as he wipes and licks the blood from his fingers.
"People are so needy these days, you know? Materialism and all of that." Travis rolls his eyes. "But you know what, that's what your pathetic father used to say when I was working for him. Look at me now, I am different. You and your father are nothing. You are just a criminal escapee who cannot even fight back!" Travis' expression spoke in an angry manner.
He continued, "Now if you do not tell me where your group of people are, I will kill you and then. And then, I will kill all of your precious little friends. And I will succeed in my plan, no one will know who you are. Erased." Travis then pulls out a long whip from the side of a chair across the room.
I smile and laugh loudly at him, ridiculing on what he uttered. "But you know what, you are completely right, I am an escapee. I had a shit ton of criminal convictions such as breaking and entering, assault and battery, criminal identity and theft, and grand theft auto. I achieved more than you. But that doesn't define me who I really am, and you don't even know what I am truly capable of."
I continue, "Just because I am an heiress that doesn't mean I'll give everything to you. Do you think I am that stupid enough to tell you where they are? As I am sworn to secrecy and bounded by the sisterhood."
Travis, then violently yanks his arm and a deafening noise crash into my ear. He repeats it again, but this time the strong leather cuts deep through my back. I loudly scream in pain, as my limbs began to shake ferociously and the fresh warm blood runs through my skin. Travis repeats to whip me around in different parts of my body, and it felt like my whole body was on fire as if I was being burnt alive in a crematorium.
When he was done, my head was lying low to the ground as I was covered in dark purple bruises everywhere in my skin. Out of fear and anger, I laugh and chuckle at his face. He then kneels down in front of me, eye to eye.
"You, Miss Wilson. You're a brilliant woman aren't you?" Travis whispers piercingly towards my face.
"Yes, yes I am. But not brilliant though. I mean, I am the better shot." I confidently respond back.
He gracefully stands up, and signal a guard to keep a watch on me. He exits out the door as the guard enters in. The guard then stands about a foot away from me. He was tall, broody and particularly handsome. Well quite perhaps to me, to say at least. He then proceeds to walk around me in circles.
"Hey, psst! Come closer. I wanna tell you something." I quietly whisper.
The guard suddenly stops his pace and walks closer towards me. He raises his eyebrows, glancing at me intently.
"Why should I listen to you? Don't even talk to me, first of all." The guard then continues to walk in circles.
I then decide to pull up an old trick, the hallucinogenic lipstick that almost never rubs out from your mouth. And all I needed to do was to kiss his lips.
"If you do not listen to me, you will be in great danger too." I then try to convince him about Travis. I continue, "See? You are nodding your head. I know, I can see him through as well. I will just show it to you if you can come closer."
The guard then moves closer to my face and as his face was about an inch away from me, my mouth leans closer and dances smoothly to his dry lips. The guard blinks quickly with his eyes and is in a state of confusion. Finally, the old trick worked!
"Now if you untie me please give me your clothes and keys, mister." I spoke in a demanding tone.
"Yes, Mr. Smith." The guard embarrassingly responds.
The guard unties me speedily, then strips off his clothes and hands the cold metal key to my hands. I then put on the guards' clothes and look around for any cameras. Luckily, since this is an old subway station there isn't a single one in sight. And all of the sudden, I strongly punch the guard cold out into unconsciousness. I then walk myself towards the heavy metal door, inserting and turning the key to the door as it opened, I quietly pace up the stairs and check to see if Travis or any other guards were still around. I hurriedly proceed, looking for an exit nearby - around the floor, ceilings, walls and anywhere that I could look at. I continue my walk and then I see a small window with an old motorcycle outside.
I knew that this would be my escape, my last chance of being kept as captive. It felt like I was starting all over again when I did my escape from Travis back in Venice, Italy. And the only way that I managed to get away from was to distract him, and where Charlie and Bosley was also waiting outside to help me. And, if it wasn't for Charlie I would be back in prison left to die.
But not this time, I am all on my own now and this is now or never.
I push and jump myself out of the window and I land on a soft cushion, I was starting to feel drowsy and light head as I am also beginning to lose blood. I then quickly ride on the motorcycle and start its engines manually, and take off away from the subway station.
It was dark as heavy rain and damp puddles surround my sight, I was out onto the side road and passing houses across by to cover myself away from Travis. What it felt like hours that turned into days, I felt horrified and afraid. I was also beginning to worry about Jane and Jana Bosley, hoping that they are safe and sound with Charlie. And especially Elena, since this is her second mission I know that I cannot afford to lose her, as I am feeling quite affectionate and attracted to her in return. And I don't even know how to say that I am starting to fall for Elena.
A white Ferrari comes into the opposite of my direction and fortunately enough, Elena pops her head out of the driver's window.
"Sabina! It's me!" Elena abruptly stops the car. I then slam on my brakes and roll off to the side of the road.
I was now lying on the ground and most of all, in pain. Elena then moves the car closer to me. She then steps out of the car and runs herself towards me, she kneels down on the ground and rests my head to her upper leg whilst softly caressing my face.
"Shhh... Sabina, I got you. You're safe in my arms now." Elena beautifully smiles.
"A white knight who has come to save me, princess Elena Houghlin. You're such an Angel, I feel like I am in heaven." I sarcastically laugh. I continue, "What are you doing here? How come it's only you? Where's Jane and Bosley?" I concerningly ask.
"Oh, right." Elena slightly blushes for a second. She continued, "Jane and Bosley are back in the main headquarters. But they couldn't get here because Charlie warned about Travis as being you know, dangerous. Even Charlie informed the other Angels about it."
She continued, "I am really sorry, Sabina. I had to take a risk myself as I felt really worried about you. Well, it's because I do care. I cannot afford to lose you. And It's because... I... Don't worry." A drop of fresh watery tear runs down across Elena's face.
Elena then picks up my whole body gently and carries me along towards the car.
"You what? I mean... I... Do..." My eyes start to blur around Elena's distorted face.
As I was about to reciprocate on Elena's feelings, my head whips back swiftly and I let the darkness take over me.
"Sabina! Wake up please! Sabina!" The last words that Elena spoke to my ears.
End of Chapter 4! To be continued! :-)
