Slowly I came too It took me a few minutes to realize that I was tied to a chair the baby rolled in my belly letting me know she was fine when I got to looking around the room my eyes landed on the chair across from me Boone oh god he looks horrible he's beaten badly his chest is scared bleeding from A whip used wrong and tied to a chair

I tried to yell but I realized my mouth was duck taped just like Boone's was
So I moved in the chair it was metal so I figured it would make noise and it did as I made it scrape across the floor

The door came open and banged against the wall bringing my attention to it
A guy walks in followed by my stepfather

"Ah I see you are awake now " Martin says as he walks over to me
" You scream I'll slap the hell out of you " he says as he pulls the duck tape off my mouth

God that hurts worse than waxing

" Fuck you " I say to him

" Dont worry we will soon enough, Now let's discuss your pregnancy How far along are you "
Martin asked with his hand raises to smack me

" 27 weeks " I tell him

"Damn I have to wait a few weeks but not long Tell the Doctor that in Three weeks To meet us at the location we discussed to do either a C-Section or Induce her I want that bastard baby out of her " Martin tells the other guy who just nodded and walked out the door

" What did you do to Boone " I asked as I look at Boone not really caring that My Stepfather was in the room

" Why are you so concerned about him " Martin asked me

"He's my child's father I love him " I tell him

" But I thought you slept with all of them like the whore you are" He replies

" What I do with them is my business not yours Just like I'm the one you want not Him so let Boone go " I tell him

"Why so he can go find those men your with and come after me I think not " Martin says back to me

Boone shuffles in his chair his eyes land on me then Martin
I can tell he is trying to speak

" I'm okay Boone the baby is fine too " I tell him I see the relief wash over him then it's replaced with anger
Fighting the ropes on the chair for a few seconds then stops

"You can struggle all you want both of you aren't going anywhere anytime soon so just relax " Martin said with a laugh

" Can we both have water please " I asked

Martin stands there for a few moments I can tell he is debating on giving us water or not

" Fine I will give both of you water I'll be back in a few minutes with it I'll even pull his tape off his mouth but you scream I'll end her" Martin said to Boone

The tape was removed from Boone's mouth then Martin left

" Red you okay "
"I'm alright for the most part I can tell my blood pressure is up but I think that has to do with the current predicament we are in " I tell him

" Do you still have your necklace that Victor gave you on " Boone asked

" Yes why "

" When you ask him to go to the bathroom squeeze the charm in fingers until you hear it snap , it's not going to break it but it will send a single to Kota, Corey and Victors phone's to alert them I think I still have my phone in my back pocket if you can get that do so " Boone says his voice is steady but his eyes show a different emotion of fear

Martin comes back with the water and I get the first few sips and god it felt good going down my dry throat
He gave Boone some too then placed them on the table beside where he stood

" I'm going to leave for a few hours there is a guards out side the room they will bring food in a little while and then you Alexis will be able to use the restroom first then that thing over there will too I want to be considered a gracious host and take care of you both especially since I can get over 10 grand for that bastard child in the black market "
Martin picked up the whip that was laying on the table and flicked it at Boone's Chest Landing it several times then pauses

Boone hisses in pain but never screams as Martin hits him again and again with the whip then he walks over to Boone takes the end of the whip and nails him in the head
Martin leaves us in the room after the damage he inflicted on Boone

I let out a cry at what I see in front of me My Sweet Boone

"I'm okay Red don't cry Red please Baby I'm fine it looks worse than it feels " Boone tried to reassure me

I don't know how long it was before they brought in food because I dozed off with help from Boone he would talk to me about the things we would be doing with our little girl he even made me giggle when he said our little girl would get North and Raven to dress up in Princess Dresses

" Alright Bitch up you are to use the rest room then Him after you both go Y'all can eat "

I was not so gently pulled out of the chair after I was untied

Using the restroom I did what Boone said to do I heard the snap then went about using the bathroom

Boone was dragged over to the bathroom after me then they dragged him back after a few minutes

Both of us were left untied to eat but Both Guards watched us like a hawk well until we all heard a crashing sound they both left us in the room

Boone slides his hand to his back-pocket pulling his phone out grunting in pain as he does
Hitting the Redline App then shooting off a text message
He got one right back and he grinned

" We should be out of here soon" Boone said with a what I would call an evil grin

The guards came back and we were still in the same spot when they left there was no way I was moving with out help

" I think we can leave them untied Boss will be back in a couple hours just lock the door they can't get out the windows they are bolted shut " The One Guard said

So that's what they did they left us untied

I moved slowly over to Boone he was hurting still from all the whip marks and beating he took
Taking the napkins left and some water I began to clean up his whelps and the blood
I had to be gentle or it was going to hurt him more

Once I finished getting the blood up I remembered seeing bandages and some other medical stuff in the bathroom so I went and got it came back and began to bandage him up
Boone had closed his eyes as I worked on him

Once done I leaned in and kissed his lips which he opens his eyes
" I love you " I tell him
" Love you too Red we will get out of this soon "
" I know we will I have faith in you and the guys " I tell him

Boone moves from the chair slowly grunting and hissing in pain to the couch that was in there
" Come here Red"
I went to him
He pulled me into his lap and held me to him

Time went by slowly

" Why are they untied " Martin barked as he came into the room

"They haven't moved since we untied them they aren't going anywhere besides she is to fat to move fast " One Guard said with a laugh

" Fuck you " I growled

The guard came over to me pulled me out of Boone's lap by my hair

" What the Fuck did you say Bitch "

"let her go Now you will not hurt the merchandise " Martin ordered

I was let go

" I would advise not to say anything like that again She's pregnant and can't help but get fat but once that bastard child is out of her she will be back down that slim size even if I have to starve  her " Martin said

" Boss we have ten minutes before the drop " The other guard said

" Come on lets go  , You tie him up you can leave her untied she's not going to go anywhere with out him " Martin said as he walked out the room

Boone was tied back up

" Boone "
" Yeah Red"
" The second guard sounds familiar " I said to him
" What do you mean "
" He was one of the ones that broke into the house " I tell him
" You sure "
"Yes I recognized the voice he changed his hair but it's still him "
" Then your Stepfather must be working for Dearheart " Boone said
" Holy shit " I responded
" Red" Boone said with that tone
" Sorry " I said
" I know you are but there true is no need to be Red"
I had finished untying Boone good thing Silas had taught me how to get out of knots and how to tie them it took me a few minutes but I got them all undone

" I didn't hear him turn the lock on the door when they left I'll check it and see if anyone is around then come back to get you " I said as I went to the door
" Red" he yelled As I poked my head out the door seeing no one I then went out into the hallway I could see the stairwell down the hallway

Moving as quiet as possible I made it to the stairwell which the door was wide open already so I poked my head in there to listen for footsteps or voices hearing none I then turned back and headed back to the room
" Okay no one is within sight so do you think you can  move " I asked Boone

We make it down the hallway to the stair well and down the flights of stairs it looked like we had one more flight of stairs to go
Boone was in a lot of pain and my body was ready to stop

As we stepped on the stair the door at the bottom opens up and I see Martin

" Did you think you would get away so easily " he says as he points the gun at both of us

" Martin let Boone go he's badly injured He needs a Doctor I will willing go with you if you let him live and go " I tell Martin

I see he is thinking about what I said

"NO RED I will not let you do this " Boone said as he went to move me behind him
I pulled back from him

"NO you don't get it Boone he will kill you if you stay" I tell him

" Get over here Alexis now " Martin barks at me

"Only if you let him go " I tell him

"Fine " Martin says as he lowers his gun

Moving to go to Martin who tries to pull me to him I jerk my arm back but he catches it pulling me to him

" Did you really think I would let him live "

I hear the click of the gun
The shot echoes in the stair well
I turn to see Boone stumble back against the wall then slide down it blood smearing down the wall as he drops

"NOOOOOOOOO " I yell jerking and pulling my arm from Martin
I move to Boone as quickly as possible

I hear the shot then I feel the fire spread across my shoulder
Placing my hand on my shoulder I feel it become wet
Dropping to my knees the pain is intense then on to my back

"Boone " I say softly I reach for his hand taking it in mine holding it

Boone turns his head slightly to see me
" I love you always " I tell him

A shadow comes across us

" You always were hard headed bitch I guess I will finish both of you now and be done with this And cut that baby out of you and still sell it " Martin said as he raised his gun again pointing It Boone then me he kept switching

I heard the gun shot echo again in the stairwell and I watched Martin stumble backwards Blood filled his shirt

I felt myself start to slip under the darkness
As I was about to go under i hear

" Excellent shot Ravensthal "

Raven

" We need two ambulances we have two gun shot wounds one to the shoulder and she's pregnant and one gun shot wound to the chest both bleeding heavily "
