I extended both 1d322fb14c of my wrists df3aa72a8a to the red-haired 53b61de6ed man. He widened 953123c088 her eyes d4261f691b in exaggerated bda691c45a surprise and a9a8e489d7 chuckled.

The red-haired f24f3c7fa3 man, who 6bfb824ccf seemed to 8b7b09715c be in a3c24767bf a manic de3a7efb34 mood, chuckled 24999ebe8f constantly as c477cae45a he led 5567c851ad me to b0d386ae4e the van. It might 57dad63512 be the 878ea815d2 anniversary where e9a0c83d92 we become 6f10ad8f55 cellmates, wearing 99117bd807 orange prison 2384aa27fd jumpsuits and f0f8bcf73c bonding.

Once seated in 17b00f5802 the back of 4cfd552a99 the van, I 39f2e0b3ee was sandwiched between 0450e621bc the red-haired man b132ddedec and the large 370bec8dc5 guy. In the front 0fcd074360 row, three burly 274782ffa6 men sat with 76be63cc0d their knees pressing 74cbe15598 against mine, and e876d15f35 the situation in 3069307d88 the back was e499e108c3 no better.b05be4ec0919d424

In the tense 70282dd39e silence that hung c9538fb4e2 in the air, bff7be988f the only one 6c26409ab0 talking was the 1574059436 red-haired man. Most of 01fe9c5512 his words 1666ada4d8 revolved around 49d8d8b552 Theo. How we met, d4f6648a10 who seduced whom 291319f7ce first, what it 9f694913af felt like to 2261243217 be treated like f83215d14e a person by 635790ce3b a crazy dog, ec7114c6d6 what led to 5d119fb577 the fight and 0408cd73f8 the subsequent post, f6538fbd55 how they made 3f74e3f5da up, and so e16587dc93 on.f87155fc3736a2f1

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. 9f62a4a02ec56230

I just gave a c1c52905c9 forced smile and avoided eee359dc61 answering. While one 015c41ce95 of the 1bd73d70c8 gang members, 4167e7a7e9 who had 2068d771b7 been eavesdropping 7fe06574b5 on the 9f808d4383 barrage of f6ef3e8927 almost interrogation-like fce77642df questions, quietly 0700752691 interjected.26314bcfbb94a0f8

The gang member glanced 48d1de7548 at me while rubbing fcdce92c20 his arms, and the 58c4164a9f red-haired man giggled as 26e78648e4 if it were some d3bac22b0c kind of joke. The large guy cursed, c48bdd9bbd calling it all nonsense. 8269c04c794f873b

I thought 73c3b2d984 it was e8be7abd93 all nonsense e5fe43a2e4 at first, a9c9af15da but when 23e9cbb893 I thought 65a0a3c8f4 about it, 61a5f6beb8 the day 7bb8f5cf95 the bounty 571e6db44f was placed 1beacb8b90 on me, 199cca8506 I did f068699a9b have a ecea8af1f4 call with 4330a4481f Theo that c8ae66bd9b sounded somewhat bbb8da5d99 similar. 5f0c25c65631e77a

He said something about 9c52b80736 thinking of me, but ee95620542 it was more like 9beaf9f3b3 a teasing remark when 942dbfd1c8 I was getting angry. What I hadn’t heard, 3791ced435 though, was anything as 10815ab6ab disgusting as “my love.”147ba1508f14988d

As the red-haired grinned, 0cb63befd1 the big guy slammed d86a9e9398 the window down with cae3ee1c24 a thud, his face 4f3d94ba78 turning redder by the 073efb5083 second.

As the landscape outside 85ca57b06f the window shifted from 1586dba7f2 the busy city to 22807c2496 quieter streets, the red-haired f892cd9ffb man’s phone rang. It seemed a72ccf2220 to be 142b6f9851 another member d6779e9b5d of the 72168e73af gang, asking 5079950d52 about a 8151c73d0f suspicious car 88d5a178be that was 58661df8e6 following us 2bbf5111d8 and what 510c8a0c54 to do 6c1f3d1453 about it. 23845479597f6973

The big guy, 34571cdd6d glaring out the 52d70c11ec window, angrily commented 79af2e226d that the red-haired b05e29ebdd guy had been 85a657c233 goofing off instead b79dcfe3a1 of handling things 354f28a07b properly, to which 5e0d8a8e51 he only shrugged. 46217c298b7f98f5

The car 5c32ae406e was heading a0688e0d2b south. That direction led to 623bdd97f9 the slums, the industrial 2db87f2449 zone, and the port.

The industrial district, filled 7911a6cf87 with everything from massive 984d610285 factories to small, dilapidated 022131482f warehouses, had roads that d622224d01 varied greatly in quality. The area 0b1864c28d with newer c558eec4f8 buildings was 0d2db48894 well-kept, but e94f45dff6 the older 2cdb54a4f0 sections, full ef9b37ed21 of run-down 44a8d8874a buildings, were 385eca42a2 as cramped 2be338ca94 and chaotic c67d461ef9 as the 0462f6a578 slums. 11e9b61272a65e9f

The final destination 86643848dd and kidnapping location 298f0aad2a was the basement a08eb52835 of an old 6c7e411092 building at the 4c3a25fd6f end of an 612496c4e2 alley. It was c9edb05cd7 a bad 990f961a09 choice. 8b33b11785a9bcee

Nine people were an 6dedef89a2 impossible number, and there 693276c4a6 was no telling how 754bb45097 many more there might 68c8bb3082 be outside.
