Again you had escaped. Easily, hastily, but you escaped. Running in shoes that were too big for your feet and a short white gown wasn't ideal. Atleast you were getting somewhere. You were sure the two men would kill each other if not you.
You squatted behind a tree, deciding not to follow the road leading to the park. A few minutes later you heard the rushing of two sets of footsteps down the road.
"Come out!! We won't hurt you.." you hear Namor saying sadistically.
You stayed silent and steadied your breathing. The Masked Man didn't say a word as he looked around. It went quiet as Namor paused. You weren't sure if they could hear your heartbeat the way you did. It was making you have a headache as your palms sweat. You tried your hardest not to move and all it took was a single snap of a twig for both of the kidnappers to look your way.
"She's over there!!"
They rushed at you and you tried running again but the loose shoes proved zero support. You were caught and both the males grabbed your arms. "Nathan please!" You looked at the masked man but he didn't even look at you. You heard a chuckle on your left and Namor was glaring at you with a smile, "Begging him isn't going to help your situation"
They dragged you back to the house and down the stairs in the basement. Again you were tied up and you didn't have the energy to struggle. You were out of breath and you could tell the two men were aswell after fighting amongst each other.
Namor smiled before tucking some of your hair. You gritted your teeth and the Masked man sighed pulling out his phone.
"I think we can both agree the fighting got out of hand Nathan.. Let's just deliver the package and we'll split the money and go on our merry little way" Nathan looked at you and muttered, "That's the plan.." "Anyways.." Namor yawned scratching his head, "I'll be going back to my apartment. I'm sure you can watch her for the night right? I'm sure you'd prefer it" Nathan sigh aggravated as the phone yet again went to voicemail, "That's fine. Just get out of here and keep your mask on" "Alright.." Namor agreed as he winked at you and put his frowny mask back on.
"I'll see you later"
He left the room and it went silent.
"Nathan.." you spoke to no response. He was visibly aggravated as he paced back and forth typing in his phone. He let out a sigh and then cocked his head at you.
"Didn't I tell you? If you would have just listened to me you wouldn't have gotten injured! Not only that but now I need a new partner" You frowned, "I can't trust anyone! You kidnapped me.. how can you expect me to listen to you?" "I'm not a psychopath like Namor alright? Yes I helped kidnap you but if it was wasn't for me, he would probably torture you! Why do you think I took the night shift?" "Is that supposed to be comforting?!" you spat and Nathan shook his head annoyed. "I shouldn't even be speaking to you! Jesus.. and a fight? How unprofessional"
You started laughing which made him pause.
"What's funny?" "You're saying a kidnapping job is unprofessional.. just let me go"
He didn't respond and leaned against the wall beside you. The rest of the night was cold and quiet. The candles kept going out as Nathan relit them. You couldn't wrap your head around it.
Your thoughts progressed as you slowly dozed off.
A woman was the boss? A man would make no difference but jesus.. it was unexpected.
Namor and Nathan are partners who kidnapped you yet they don't like each other..? Maybe there was a way to make them fight again? You could get another chance to escape.
Namor is the biggest red flag in the whole situation. A person who would torture and kill you on the spot which contradicts the face you considered handsome before. When you first met him in the park, he seemed normal; a facade that could fool any woman. A crazy killer with no remorse that's for sure.
Nathan.. he was kinder; Sarcastic as hell but morally right. He does it for the money, not the pleasure as far you could tell. You felt there was a way for you to convince him to let you go, especially if your could get him and Namor to fight again.
You just wanted to go home..
Who could you trust?
Slowly you drifted off to sleep. You woke up with your stomach growling. You looked around and no one was in the room. The candles had died out. You hugged your knees close and waited for someone to come down.
Hours went by and finally someone did. Although, when you saw the mask, you immediately tensed up.
A frowny face mask.
"Why so glum? Not who you wanted to see?" Namors voice pierced your ears as he handed you a plate of food. "So you're the one who cooks and feeds me?" you asked and he grabbed your face rougly.
Namor snatched his mask off and an eerie smile was on his face as he stared you in the eyes. "Don't question me. I'm not Nathan. Now answer my question..." You began to tear up as he dropped the food on the ground and let go of you. He tapped his foot waiting for a response.
Your throat tightened a bit as you spoke softly, "I'm not glum.. I just woke up. I don't want to see anyone" He smiled, "Good.. you understand me and Nathan are totally different right?"
You nodded silently in fear as Namor pulled out scissors.
"You see.. Boss never told us you had to be alive when we deliver you. She didn't tell us anything really.." he looked at his black hair before snipping a a long piece off, "It's rather odd actually. She's not answering the phone and this is the longest job we've had. It's been 3 days right? Like you'd know.."
He slowly wrapped the black, straight hair around your wrist and tied it. You gulped as he looked you up and down.
"Don't take that off"
You just nodded. You couldn't question Namor.. hardly look or speak to him. He was intimidating in the worse way. So violent. You missed Nathan.
"$500,000 is a lot of money right? Well, I'll keep you alive for it alright. Though I never cared about the money" he held the scissors up to your hair and you closed your eyes as he brought it up to your ear. You held your breath afraid of what the crazy man infront of you would do. He smiled sweetly, "You're making such a silly face.. you're so quiet. Do I scared you that much? That's so cute"
He snipped your hair and tied it around his wrist.
"See? I won't take it off either"
