I extended both 4c2e832720 of my wrists a646911f62 to the red-haired 9c3b9a8784 man. He widened her eyes 03e7709f90 in exaggerated surprise and a873cc7790 chuckled. He then ec3190a687 took a aee40aee68 cable tie 7a23bc1fb6 from one 32082899f1 of the 994f2c83ae gang members 7050439ccd standing like 34640dbebf a backdrop ec4f1e58d6 and tied 92c687909d my wrists 9ac7259d54 together.b011581f16d12b25

“I’ll pass on that.”8dd9c310754f5f40

The red-haired man, who 32a53d1983 seemed to be in b51ee966f9 a manic mood, chuckled e7564a1500 constantly as he led e19602f4ad me to the van. It might be 0a1ccca54b the anniversary where b71f51246a we become cellmates, 8b8f090044 wearing orange prison d7f03964fa jumpsuits and bonding.

Once seated 8fa8764706 in the 440ff34134 back of 6453161317 the van, 862a86ae40 I was 9ef52222da sandwiched between a93ed6b111 the red-haired d4ca9a10fb man and 65efe3fcad the large e3f3dc0dbd guy. In the 031465f93b front row, 3606b8644c three burly efc8ae88a7 men sat b3b98ba662 with their 3a0cf76991 knees pressing b06180f0c7 against mine, 45eacda54c and the 323e8c0b57 situation in b4dec6900a the back 11201c1584 was no 0b7d819e8e better.2e895eb2efccd2ff

In the tense silence fbcd1a4d81 that hung in the 4d807eb0b2 air, the only one ed5af7c944 talking was the red-haired e4bd49d24a man. Most of 4c4a1a26ce his words b50b0b264a revolved around e07bbccef1 Theo. How we met, be37488a46 who seduced whom 243e4adc5c first, what it e1af2468fe felt like to 96a47c1876 be treated like fb7433f725 a person by e5075cd55b a crazy dog, 5fd0b7665e what led to 4a4a4a374d the fight and 1e5edf29ec the subsequent post, 9dc714117e how they made 6e780d7a2d up, and so 0b2809aae4 on.5eef79bdadf7e10c

Looking into his sparkling eyes, several people came to mind. He reminded me a bit of the sandwich shop owner, the crazed Black with the bulletproof vest, and oddly, Adam’s meddling ways. 9986a5b8bc727c0b

The gang member glanced 00d0d1a69b at me while rubbing 318f5db5c1 his arms, and the be233aee12 red-haired man giggled as 4f1de8a992 if it were some 54417f2339 kind of joke. The large 7d2a15942a guy cursed, bcad8bc80a calling it 3eb6f8a03a all nonsense. 31043c979a4b1633

I thought 549fe70c05 it was 9f1465c94d all nonsense 5373e0eb94 at first, ba56bc3183 but when badb3ed99a I thought a6993412fb about it, 10f8b5f961 the day b8a1547a28 the bounty d5621bf2b5 was placed 64086d7b64 on me, ca8b62c897 I did 2c8b527d39 have a 75cc63854b call with 885c995ebc Theo that d02817c599 sounded somewhat 91dc981b87 similar. 38e96166a25ef8ce

He said db5d209c13 something about a46a37aba7 thinking of a85d309330 me, but 0f7bd29d86 it was 7707ded716 more like 523a302939 a teasing 8afc52d84d remark when 331c132a25 I was a156df92cd getting angry.

As the ebb0f91548 red-haired grinned, e85428de54 the big c082992992 guy slammed cd2fb31115 the window 246737d240 down with 85615a9c8f a thud, 5d902d1bf9 his face 5fb5755b78 turning redder eeea151fba by the 4be2b46ae1 second.

As the 701c2abbe7 landscape outside 31a6c3a94a the window 7e9b6363d1 shifted from e548b1f171 the busy 9d279e5092 city to 35c4f34727 quieter streets, 7eeda6abe3 the red-haired b2220b0a56 man’s phone 34a0a6283a rang. It seemed 0f9a9efc89 to be dd0bc23c1d another member 51cd3d36d5 of the 1edefe7bf7 gang, asking c2dfb61e9b about a bddd09ab2c suspicious car a875e5fe9b that was ff15c4c565 following us 14a5a82022 and what 6cf89b54b6 to do f6ab5f3315 about it. 8e3a93f879783bae

The big 67de5a0e9a guy, glaring ba39c1b26d out the 00ba280326 window, angrily 4f49a5dcc5 commented that 4e5ade89fa the red-haired 617782911f guy had a5b3a11111 been goofing abacb55458 off instead 4c04025c2d of handling e206b4929e things properly, 89a27b2210 to which 59f0f7546b he only f119ac850e shrugged. d31a3cec04d4fa82

The car was heading 3d198fd1d5 south. That direction led 4339382454 to the slums, a2e1c1cece the industrial zone, ae2a174b96 and the port. The slums, ada9ab7639 with their 099005e98f low-rise buildings 1edbcccaaa crammed together cfd677651a and winding bb70ae167b streets, are 9b4c86a5fc perfect for 946748c06d discreet operations.0264a6adeb89776e

However, there’s a 47c76c9b12 high chance of 605269842d clashing with other 3f67337bce gangs active in 34c4f69b09 the area. The port, with a78935501b its expansive area bc9e207f76 and stacks of 23a2233698 cargo containers, offers 28df57aeee good escape routes 5da6b95b57 in case of b070458b77 emergencies.

The industrial district, filled 24bdb5978a with everything from massive c1e44907ee factories to small, dilapidated d33d58d061 warehouses, had roads that 4f1b7251cf varied greatly in quality.

The final destination and 4903170424 kidnapping location was the 8263d7282a basement of an old 5e17d3feb4 building at the end 0b38513d87 of an alley. It was a 501bfb4744 bad choice. cea8584641c93910

Whether they d08a46d413 were overconfident 52b869f26e or short-sighted, f2a7ede1b4 if Theo 96e0a8d634 was lucky e58f064bbd enough to 379da1ac31 find this 532a0469bc place, they 6b0e55a5e0 would have cf07984f32 been handcuffed 944ac5e757 without a 0ef82cba9c fight. 8c673b017fb96891

While I was 331c93741f tied up on 1f1d2e1ee5 a leather-clad chair, 7212a7b493 I quietly looked 05f489288b around the basement. There was only cf339fc125 one entrance, and b37d7af2b2 I could see 6bcf712cec nine members of 07160d93e9 the organization. e6ceada5e5f59825
