14 Abduct 2

Jackie groaned, with much struggle, he slowly opened his eyes, a tick darkness welcomed his vision. His hands were tied behind his back. Feeling the structure of the space and how cramped it was, he could tell he was in a car trunk. Where were they taking him and who were those guys? He was still in a gleam of thought when he felt a sudden jolt. Jackie let out a groan as the impact triggered the pains all over his body. His whole body was covered with bruises and his joints ached.

In no time the trunk opened, revealing two men, all in black outfit. Each of their faces were covered with a mask, revealing only their eyes. Without giving him much time to think, they pulled him out and dragged him farther away from where the cars were parked.

Arriving to where the rest of them were "What's all these…?" He asked, but before he could complete his words, they dragged him to his knees, cutting him off.

"Who are you guys? Let me go!" He demanded. He was sure he hadn't gotten on anyone's nerves lately. Jackie turned staring at each of every one of them in demand for an answer on why he was held and brought here, until his eyes landed on one, backing him, who was puffing a cigar. Feeling his gaze on him, the guy threw away the remain of the cigar and turned to him. Jackie's eyes widened in utter shock and dawning realization.

Tom's lips curved into a smile seeing the poor dude kneeling before him.

"Hello friend" His voice sounding more sarcastic than ever.

Jackie furrowed his brows. He couldn't really pinpoint why this guy wouldn't let him be, what could he probably want from?

"What do you want from me?" He asked, his voice betraying the anxiety building up in him. Tom paused for a while and let out a wild chuckle

"What I want from you?" He raised his brow and traced his fingers on his chin-giving a thinking pose, he clicked his tongue in a mocking manner.

"Hmm… What can one possibly want from a crap, except to get rid of it?" He walked closer to Jackie in a slow pace and squatted In front him with a mischievous grin playing on his lips "I want you gone, buddy, your existence irritates me".

Jackie gave him a startled look, which Tom found more amusing; watching him struggle in fear. He drew closer and whispered in to his ear "I want you lowlife, dead. Seems like you haven't been told who I am, I always do anything I want, get anything I want, not excluding getting rid of you" He slapped Jackie's cheek lightly and stood up. He was about to walk away when he heard Jackie's voice laced with sarcasm.

"Why does it seems to me that killing an insignificant person is a major priority to a mafia?" Jackie refused to show the turmoil growing in him every second he spent there. Tom halted, clenching his jaw, he turned to Jackie and punched him in the face. It was so intense that he fell face first to the ground. His mouth tasted salty, which he knew very was blood. The two people behind him held him from the shoulder and raised him back to his knees. He spitted the blood out and glared at Tom.

"I warned you severally to stay away from the girl, didn't I?" Tom clicked his tongue "But you paid no heed, now I will pay no heed in killing you"

Jackie's eyes widened in disbelief, was it because of Indie…? Now it had made sense to him why all the drama was unfolding. So he really meant it when he warned him to stay away from Indie, but it couldn't still make sense to him why Tom would have a problem with that. He was just a friend to Indie even though he wished for something more than that, which he knew very well, would never happen, and besides, it was Indie's opinion and he was okay with that…

"She aren't your class. You're a poor, wretched, peasant and seeing you around her irritates me and to be frankly it pisses me off" Came Tom's voice, disrupting his thought.

"Is that your reason, why you want to take someone's life?" Jackie scoffed and glared at him, his eyes burning with intense anger and mockery "I wonder why you're so bothered about our sweet friendship" He clicked his tongue "Are you jealous because you can't afford that, the sweet friendship we share? I thought you can possibly get anything you want according to your claims, but why is it… you can't have her? Don't tell me you can't_"

"Shut your mouth!" Tom outburst, unable to hold in the fury erupting in him anymore, he unleashed several punches across Jackie's face, each punch more brutal than the previous ones.

Jackie who lied vulnerably on the ground from the punches being delivered on his face as his hands were tied behind his back, heard Tom outburst "You bastard!!" The punches getting more severe, he couldn't feel his face anymore.

"I have given you enough grace, enough grace to live" Tom continued punching him, leaving blood splattered all over his face, making his face merely recognizable. Getting exhausted he stopped and stood up panting heavily.

"No you're not going to die this way" Said Tom, one of the guy stepped forward and handed him a handkerchief, he took it and cleaned his knuckles, handing it back to the guy "In your next life be careful who you mess with, boy"

Jackie groaned with a slay chuckle, his hands were tied: Whether tied or not, he would still be powerless. There was no way he could fight his way through these several people. Though he was down to the core, he wasn't going to give Tom the satisfaction. To show his fear or plead for his life, he wasn't ready for either of that.

"And what will she think of you if she ever found out about your cowardly action, mm?" Jackie asked raising his brow with a wide giggle, trying to infuriate Tom the more "And you think if you get rid of me, you will have her? Oh, no, you're wrong, you can't have her, because you don't deserve her" He groaned and spitted out a scarlet saliva; the pains were infuriating.
