Ryna paced the small closet they'd stuffed her in, trying to warm up, trying not to worry about Nate. She knew enough about him that she wasn’t worried about him dying exactly, but he wasn’t looking good when she’d been dragged out of there and these men who had grabbed them had been rough.
She hugged herself and tried to remember what she was supposed to do if something like this happened.
She needed to know the space she was in. She went to the door and stood with her back to it. There was no knob or handle on this side. She looked up at the walls, bare up to the single light on the wall to her right.
Okay, so there was nothing going to help her get out. She walked the length of the room, from the door to the back wall, then the width, from left to right. She did it again backwards, counting both ways to make sure she was right.
The door opened suddenly and Ryna backpedaled into the far corner, ready to fight.
“Bring the girl.”
Two big men came at her and dragged her from the closet, lifting her once they were clear and carrying her to a chair set in front of a big screen. She bounced up as soon as they let go of her.
One of them caught her and shoved her back into the chair. “Stay.”
“Control her.” A voice said from the shadows around them as Ryna fought to get out of the chair.
One of the men hit her, hard across the face. It felt like her cheek exploded as she fell back into the chair, tears welling in her eyes. “I said stay.”
A new man shoved the man who had hit her and leaned in, a soft look on his face. “She’s not a dog. You okay, kid?”
Ryna pulled back from him, nodding slowly. “Do me a favor, and sit still. Otherwise this freak is going to hurt you.”
“My father is going to kick your ass.” Ryna said, pulling her hand away from her cheek.
The man leaned in closer, his beard tickling her cheek. “I actually almost hope he does,” he whispered in her ear before he stood back. “Now, are you going to sit still, or does Jumbo here need to tie you up?”
She sat back in the chair, scowling up at him as she crossed her arms. “Good. Now, we’re going to play you a movie, help pass the time before your father comes to get you, okay?”
The man went to a computer and pressed some buttons, then smiled at her, snapping his fingers at the two big men. She watched the screen start, at least a little curious what they thought would entertain her and keep her from trying to get away.
Ryna was aware of the men still in the room, could even hear them talking…and as soon as Spongebob filled the screen, she gave up watching to listen.
“This wasn’t a part of the deal.”
“You are getting paid to keep the hacker occupied and the other one on ice, not worry about the kid.”
“You want me to help you jack up Spencer, I’m okay with that. Leave the kid out of it.”
“I thought you were a badass, Chaos. Going soft over a kid?”
“No, I just don’t think –“
“Obviously. By the time Eliot shows up here, I’ll have his daughter half believing he isn’t even real.”
