28 December, Unknown location outside city K

As Matthew complied with the Devil's demand Lexi could observe that this was terrifying him as much as the situation had been terrifying her. She read in his eyes, despite not wanting to see it, that he was attempting to protect her as best he could.

Matthew, as he was following the demands to protect Lexi, could hear the Devil become more and more aroused by what he was observing and demanded that they keep going until he had, using his hands satisfied himself. "That was good you two. I will give you a little break before I come back and decide what you will do next."

With that he walked out the door which he did not shut. Matthew gathered Lexi in his arms and whispered "It will be alright. We will get out of this."

They soon heard the Devil yell, "Give me that woman" followed by a scream and a gun shot. Matthew tensed and believed as a captive had refused to comply with the Devil's demand, he had sent a message by killing her to those around. He then heard "Give me that one then," and heard more screams from several women.

A few seconds later, Matthew could hear grunting evidencing that the Devil or one of his minions had brought a hapless girl close to the room they were chained in and forcibly engaging in s*xual intercourse with her, which she screamed "No" repeatedly.

Matthew, with his eyes closed paused and considered the situation. It was clear that the Devil, his minions and some key personal within ISX were going to use the two of them to arouse themselves to allow them to s*xually abuse other women. But something was not right. The Devil seemed anxious about something, but what, that was the question. Was it simply his presence or was it something else in his plans? That he realised he needed to be quiet and gather what information he could while here to bring him down.

One question though troubled Matthew. He knew he needed to keep Lexi safe. There was little he could do at this time, because any move would condemn her and others to an immediate death. However, Matthew knew that he could play his trump card, as it would lead to Lexi's rescue. He reached up and removed the talisman from around his neck.

Carefully putting it on Lexi he said, "This will keep you safe like it has kept me safe since you gave it to me." Matthew then used that opportunity to carefully activate the hidden GPS locator at its lowest and most protective setting. While that will mean it wakes time not only for the signal to be detected by the systems it would minimise any risk that the Devil, his minions of ISX would detect the signal, increasing the longer-term prospects of rescue. He just wondered how long it would take for the signal to be detected, and if anyone was looking for them.

Lexi, however, at the words of Matthew, reached up and hugged his neck. Despite everything and what he had just done to her, he was the only piece of safety in this whole situation that she knew. She buried herself as close as she could to him, simply to try and shield herself from what she could hear going on around her. Those sounds were terrifying and made her worry about what was to come.
