Maybe he was just an insecure psychotic guy who just wanted the approval of his clothing choices from random girls and didn’t know any other way to ask… Just nod and go along with it… Maybe he’ll leave then.
Yeah, it’s very nice. I forced my voice to sound encouraging and faked a smile.
Feel it. He said, raising his arm up and putting the black fabric in front of my face.
I came to the conclusion that the guy either snorted a bit too much of that white stuff, or had escaped from an asylum and decided to make friends outside a resort.
I hesitantly brought my hand up, and slowly touched the thick soft fabric. I retrieved my hand and stared at the masked man in confusion and caution.
He stared right back at me, except with a whole lot of intensity, and spoke out in all seriousness, It’s boyfriend material.
I snorted out a few chuckles at that cheesy pick-up line, before realizing this guy was not my friend and that he had a gun in his hand and liked to race big Hummer trucks at unsuspecting couples with his friends just to tell lame pick up lines.
Who knew a guy could be that desperate…
Why are you- Why the hell did… Who are you ? I finally settled with. I was beyond confused and the fear that I had felt had quickly diminished.
I can be whoever you want me to be babe. The guy winked at me. I can be your Jack and you can be my Rose. He grinned.
When I didn’t answer, he continued on. Can we play Titanic ? I can be the iceberg and you can go down. He gave me a dirty smirk, snapping me out of my confused state.
Are you Ryland’s men ? I asked cautiously.
No sweets. I’m my own man. The mystery guy winked.
Before I could point the guy to the nearest asylum, his friend who had been in the truck with him stepped forward next to him and whispered angrily in his ear.
The guy with the terrible pick-up lines had the smirk wiped off his face and he glumly nodded to the guy next to him.
Alright sugar-pie, we can continue our lovely conversation in the car. It’s time to go ! He cheered, before looping his arm around mine and dragging me to his Hummer.
We made it half-way, before I skidded to a halt, gave the cheerful guy an odd look, pushed him off of me, and spun around to look for Nathan. My heart dropped when I saw he was gone from his original spot.
I looked around and froze in horror as I saw two men dragging an unconscious Nathan towards one of the three Hummers.
When did that happen !?
Nathan ! I yelled and started to run for him, but Mr. Pick-Up-Lines grabbed me just in time and dragged me to the other Hummer.
Don’t worry, your boyfriend is going to the same place as we are. Now no more struggling or else I’ll have to chloroform you just like your boyfriend. He said nonchalantly, swinging open the door to the car and placing me inside. My stomach dropped, they couldn’t hurt Nathan. Not after everything he’d been through. I felt the emotions rising despite the oddness of the situation and the kidnapper’s happy personality. At the end of the day they had guns and weren’t planning on taking us to Disney World as far as I was concerned. Or maybe they were…
I don’t know what kind of weird game you’re playing, but please leave my boyfriend out of this. I pleaded, tears sliding down my cheeks.
The man’s eyes softened to my utter surprise and it looked like he was about to reach out to comfort me, but before he could, the other guy sitting in the passenger seat yelled at him to hurry up, and that they were going to be late.
Late for what ? And why did this guy look so concerned all of a sudden ?
What the hell is even going on ? I voiced my thoughts.
You’ll see in about fifteen minutes. Now sit tight and don’t speak if you ever want to see your boyfriend again. The guy in the passenger’s seat spoke.
My eyes widened and I felt more tears emerge, but I held them back, careful to not make a sound.
I looked up to see my initial attacker shoot the passenger a look of disapproval and they seemed to be having this silent conversation through their eyes, before the guy in the passenger’s seat rolled his eyes and sighed, glancing at me through the mirror, before quickly looking away and out the window.
This did nothing but increase my confusion and curiosity.
The rest of the ride was silent and I watched the scenery as we drove, wondering why they hadn’t blindfolded me to keep me from knowing where we were going.
But then again, I was in a completely different country and wouldn’t happen to know anyways so there was no point really.
Ready Freddy ? The guy in the driver’s seat twisted around to face me with a grin.
I just stared back in confusion, before voicing my thoughts Why are you acting like we’re best friends ?
The guy just sputtered out a laugh, before sobering up quickly when his partner shot him a look and got out of the car.
We should have just hired Liam Neeson for this. The guy in the passenger seat muttered under his breath, before climbing out of the car.
Okay…
So far, I had established four things. One, these guys were acting like disorganized spontaneous druggies. Two, they all had oddly similar voices, my best guess was that they were wearing voice disguising gadgets like Oliver Queen does. Three, we were on top of some high hill or mountain judging from the uphill drive and view. And four, I wasn’t as scared of my fate anymore after seeing I was with a bunch of amateurs who Nathan could effortlessly knock out and we could easily escape from.
This way m’lady. My attacker bowed, gesturing to a long trail going upwards.
I gave him an odd look, before walking forward and up the path, the two men following behind. I had also noticed the two other Hummers were already parked at the bottom where we had arrived.
I could only hope Nathan was okay…
What was I thinking ? My boyfriend’s a badass ninja hero superman. Of course he was okay. He probably already tied up our captors and was waiting for my arrival.
The walk was tedious and I debated on faking to faint so they could carry me the rest of the way up, but I didn’t trust these idiots to carry me without dropping me.
We finally made it and were surrounded by barren land, but once we stepped up to the very top of the mountain, it was truly beautiful.
