Chapter 65 - Terror (1)

28 December, Unknown Location, outside City K

Matthew felt the drugs he had been given starting to wear off. The last thing he wanted to do was to alert The Devil and his minions of that simple fact. He carefully listened to what he could heard around him and realised that the vehicle was on a gravel road, and by how little sound there was that there was no wind. He could smell, faintly through the truck and over the diesel fumes bush land smells, and that it was still the middle of the night. He felt the vehicle start to slow down and come to a stop. He could hear people getting out of the truck and the other vehicles that he noticed as they were being bundled into this truck.

Soon he felt his body being pulled roughly out of the truck. While his instincts urged him to escape immediately and them attempt a rescue of Lexi, he knew that doing that would sign his death warrant. Thank god Lexi knew the extent of his wealth and hopefully could help convince The Devil to simply demand a ransom from his brother.

He must have moved slightly that alerted the Devil's minions to the fact that he was awaking from what they had injected him with, so the dropped him to the ground. He kept his body relaxed as that would lessen the chance of serious injury and made sounds as if he had simply just started to come out from under the effect of the drugs.

Before Matthew knew about it, he was injected again with another sedative which simply knocked him out again.

Matthew awoke to the sounds of Lexi screaming. He remembered the second injection of the sedative that knocked him out. He could still not work out what the drug exactly was in his mind. It took him a few minutes to open his eyes, and he quickly scanned the room. It was made completely of concrete walls, and he could observe four obvious CCTV camera, and likely microphones attached to them.

However, his and other trusted people analysis he knew that there would be at least double that amount hidden. ISX members, and to some extent the Devil and his minions, had perverse satisfaction from watching captive couples, to save their lives, to perform the s*xual acts they demanded. The only thing he was surprised with now, was that despite the absence of a ring on Lexi's finger, the Devil, his minions and ISX believed that she was his fiancée.

Looking around, Matthew also noticed a door on the opposite side of the room, and on wall on the right-hand side what appeared to be a mirror to an untrained eye. He well knew, at a glance it was one-way window where people would be observing them. The other thing he noticed was that he and Lexi had been stripped bare of all clothes, chained to the wall behind them and dumped on a single bed.

Lexi, had awoken and realised she was n.a.k.e.d, chained up in a room. Before she could do anything, she felt familiar arms gather her in close, and heard a voice saying, "It will be alright Lexi, I promise you," again and again. She realised that Matthew was with her, and they she remembered what had happened on the way home from Club TJ's. Her car had been hit from behind, and whatever had happened had forced her to bring her vehicle to a stop, and that they were thrown into a truck. What else happened still seemed hazy.

Lexi started to shake, worried not only about what had happened, but her son. After all these years she finally had the courage to come back home and resume full time care of him, now this happens. What would happen to him if something happened to her? She was, as far as Dominic knew, his only living parent and she did not want him to have to go through losing her, but his Uncle Phillip, which was a real possibility with the current cancer battle that he was facing. Thinking about this, just caused Lexi to burst out into tears.

Matthew, hearing her quiet sobs, gathered her as tight as he dared in his arms, not only to provide comfort, but to shield her as best as he could from the constant observation that he knew they would be under. Damn the perverted Devil, doing this to people. Matthew knew, not only from his training but as a result of what happened to him in a mission six years ago, he could survive this, he just hoped he could give Lexi the strength that she needed.
