Chapter 39

Rome

September 2nd 2:45 pm

San Fran High

"Hey Rome, we were wondering if you wanted to stay after school with us for the football game." The white girl twirled her hair with her finger.

"Nah I'm straight on that, I got homework to handle." I turned my attention back to the clock, I did the same shit every single day during seventh period, I would look at the clock and count down as soon as I stepped into the class.

The girl didn't take the hint to exit stage left out of my fucking face, "Well what about just you and me, you know I would love to hang out."

"I'm straight on that to." I didn't take my attention off of the clock, I didn't even know this girl's name and she damn sure wasn't my type, I had nothing against white girls, but I just wasn't down for the vanilla. Her ass held up about fifty different red flags and the biggest one was that she was white did I have anything against gringos, shit you would have to ask me when my mood right.

I wasn't paying attention to this type of female, she was the type to come from riches and when she was tired of being rich she wanted to explore shit, but I wasn't Google nor Safari.

She sat in the empty desk in front of me, "Come on Rome you sit in class, talk to no one and look at the clock."

Gringos like her tapped on my damn nerves like a dance, never in her life did she go through half the shit people with my skin complexion do, it was like her privilege was a shield and she didn't know that it was there, because if I was caught with her I would have fifteen warning shots in my back, "Just cause I don't talk to anyone it don't make me lonely."

"I like you Rome." She placed a hand on mines.

I couldn't hide the frown and I laughed a bitter laugh, "Man I'm damn sure straight on that," I leaned forward, "You done talked to everybody in this class hell maybe even the school but like I said for the fourth time I'm straight on fucking that." The bell rang, and I grabbed my backpack and was the first one to get out of that class.

I brushed past the other students and walked out of the double gates of hell it didn't take me long to find the car, I got in the back and Jig met me, "How was school man?"

I looked out the window, "The same way it was yesterday boring as hell."

"You telling me you ain't trying to holla at no girls." He looked at me through the rearview mirror.

I scrolled through my phone to find that Athena didn't shoot me a text like she normally did when I would get out of school, "Hell nah them girls ain't no forms of my type."

"What's your type then?"

I shrugged, "I don't know but I ain't down for the vanilla, but did you talk to Athena today?"

"No, what are you worried about your little crush, is that what you're interested in, the chocolate?" He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes, "It ain't even like that, she looked out for me when no one else had faith in me." I scrolled to her contact and clicked the call button, I held the phone to my ear. With Athena, everything came down to a pattern and something wasn't sitting right with me because she didn't text me after school and she would always pick up after the third dial tone and her phone went straight to voicemail.

Turning off my phone I looked back out the window until we got to the house and as soon as he parked the car I got out and unlocked the door walking in, everything seemed normal and nothing was out of place, I walked upstairs to their bedroom floor and noticed that their bedroom door was open, but she wasn't in it, "Athena?" I got no response I continued my search around the house.

I walked into the kitchen and saw that like the bedroom nothing looked out of place, but there was a cup of coffee sitting on the counter by the coffee pot, I looked at the cup for a moment before noticing a paper sitting beside it,

"Please don't follow me, I need to be by myself for a while."

Looking around I noticed a necklace peeking from underneath the oven, I squatted down to pick it up and then I saw it, it was tiny almost like a speck, but I could tell it from anywhere it was blood.

Main Residence

"Repeat the story again Rome." I paced the living room, I tore this bitch apart trying to look for her and it was like she disappeared.

Rome rubbed his face, "I told you I came back from school and she wasn't here, but I found a coffee cup, a note, her necklace and a speck of blood."

"Dig did you run the security footage again." I gripped the gun.

He nodded, "Yeah for the fifth time and we couldn't find anything."

"Not even if she left or not."

"Not even a trace of her."

I walked out of the house and walked to the guest house, opening the door I was met with nothing. I stepped further into the house and walked slowly trying to make sure I covered everything I didn't find anything until I walked into the bathroom and I noticed on one spot on the wall something written in blood, "Athena."

She was in here and this was her blood.

Athena

September 2nd 7:08 AM

Main Residence

"I bet you're starting to feel a little bit dizzy, now aren't you?" She moved from my grasp.

A pair of fat arms wrapped around me and I reacted immediately by using my elbows to break free of him, turning around I gave him a right hook to the jaw and used my knee to kick him in the stomach. I stumbled, and I felt someone bear hug me from the back and slammed me into the door, elbowing him in the nose he still didn't drop me until I hit him the nose again.

I was slung to the ground and struggled to get up because the effects of the date rape was starting to become even stronger by the minute to think about it I don't even think that it was a date rape. A gun hitting me in the back of the head caused me to fall back to the ground, "He was right she was a fighter."

I felt someone pick me up and choke slam me into the oven, scratching at his hand I gagged, he was a fucking giant compared to me and it was like no matter how hard I kicked his hold didn't budge. I shifted my eyes to see Julia pulling in a chair, but I couldn't have time to get a grasp because I was being thrown into that same chair and in a second, I had tape being wrapped around my mouth and rope being wrapped around me.

I could feel my eye becoming swollen shut and blood dripping down my cheek, I looked between the three of them but the one in the middle took my attention the most, tattoos were wrapped from the tops of his neck to the ending of his hands. The bruising on his cheek told me that he was the one that I punched in the jaw and the big fat one I already knew was the culprit behind my eye.

The one with the tats traced his gun around my temple, "You're going to do whatever we tell you and if you don't your precious Bay and Rome is going to find your brains on the walls, now nod yes if understand."

I nodded slowly and the fat one talked, "The bitch gave me a black eye, she better be lucky she's worth more alive."

"You're going to write a note okay, explaining that you left and need time to yourself." Tat guy pushed my chair over to the counter and sat a pen and paper in front of me. "Don't try and do something dumb to get you killed because I really wouldn't want to see your pretty face dead."

I picked up the pencil shakily and wrote, "Please don't follow me, I need to be by myself for a while." I was starting to feel tired and I knew that it was the drink. Tat guy took the paper and smiled, "Good job."

The fat ass's phone rang, and all the attention was off of me.

"Your necklace."

I reached up to my necklace and ignored the cutting in my arm and with all my might yanked the necklace off and threw it underneath the oven, there was little to no shot in hell that this was going to actually work but if they found it they were going to know that I would never leave that necklace behind.

"Roger, you take her to the guest house, Julia and I are going to clean and wipe the security footage." Tat guy ordered Roger.

Roger bent down in front of me and spat, "When I unwrap you from the chair if you even move wrong I will blow your fucking brains out." Walking behind me he unwrapped the rope and forced me out of my chair, he dragged me out of the door, I felt my pulse beginning to slow down and I knew that in a few minutes I was going to become unconscious.

"Hold on and ask to go to the bathroom."

How in the hell was I going to ask to go to the bathroom, when I had tape wrapped around my mouth?

"You still have use of your hands."

Throwing me into the house I fell on to the ground and looked around he would never let me use the bathroom, so this was my time, with all the energy I had I pushed myself off of the ground and ran down the hall and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind me I ripped the tape from around my mouth.

"You need to leave another message, a backup plan to your plan."

I put my hand on my head and I felt a handful of blood taking my hand back I saw only blood. I ran over to the wall and wrote, "Athena." Just as I was about to write Roger's name he burst open the door and yanked me back, "You thought you had a plan." He threw me into the wall and I crumbled to the ground my energy was draining. "You're really pushing my fucking patience." I shut my eyes and I then felt my wrists being tugged and a rope tied around them.

Tape was wrapped back around my mouth, grabbing me by the throat he dragged me for a few minutes until he stopped.

9:05 AM

I opened my eyes again to see Tattoo guy and Roger were arguing and Julia was sitting on the couch, I couldn't hear them it was like a silent movie. Julia looked at me with a smug grin, I looked back at them to find them staring at me as well.

"You were trained to be a spy for the government you're telling me you don't know how to read lips."

I couldn't read lips because I was too weak, and I still felt the same...

11:05 AM

I was in a trunk a very hot trunk and a very tight trunk. I couldn't breathe because it was so hot, it felt like hell was suffocating me and I still couldn't hear.

I worked up enough strength to bang on the top of the trunk trying to scream but I still felt the same...

4:52 PM

Location: Unknown

The sound of banging woke me, and I looked around to see I was trapped in a big glass box of the sort, I was coherent now.

"You're awake Athena." My head snapped towards Wark's voice and he met me with a smirk. My wrists were tied to my ankles and tape was securely wrapped around my mouth, "This is a glass box that only the Pentagon has clearance to but little old me was able to get one in my clutches, but you want to see something cool?"

He pressed a few things before a loud vacuuming sound started and I was beginning to feel the air being sucked up, I let in ragged breaths and he stopped, "Whenever I pressed these buttons the air leaves the box, it's a great way to torture someone into them telling you all that they know."

I shook my venomously and he laughed, "But knowing you, I don't think it's going to be that easy, so I am happy that we are just getting started."
