The POV Kate
I have to take a chance, even if I might get hurt, I have to make sure I'm serious about that million. The Russian kidnapper won't be tempted of course, but my goal is not the Russian but the Mexican. He's gonna take my million dollars, the Russians don't pay that much.
“Sir, how much they pay you, I'll pay you more. I'll give you a million dollars. Let me go please, if you want to work in America I can work my way. My boyfriend owns a lot of companies, and you can definitely live a quiet life if you want to free me.” I spoke out loud as he led me back to the room. I'm not actually talking to him
“Shut your mouth woman!” A loud slap made my lips hot and numb! I'm stuck back, it hurts, but I'm gonna pay now instead of paying later. I rise up against him again.
“You Russian son of a bitch, I'm an FBI agent, my girlfriend gangster Cosa Nostra, the Garcia family, have a lot of spies on the border, she'll find you and need you on the Mexican border, you think you're safe, you know, if I get to the border, I don't think I know your plan is to take me to the border. Russia is crazy, you're gonna die, your friend broke into the US and got caught, but you kidnapped me as a substitute...” I want to talk again a slap that makes me slam back again, now he's coming and strangling my neck.
“You dare to talk again I broke one of your fingers, you want to know how it feels? I can't kill you, but I'm very happy to torture you. You understand?” He held my jaw firmly, his eyes implying he didn't mind making his threat right now, I better back off now. I'm sure the man has received my message. But this Russian definitely wasn't stupid either, did he realize I was working on something.
The angry Russian man made an action, a black tape on the table and stuck it to my mouth. Prevent me from talking again. Very effective.
“Now shut up. Or you'll feel something unpleasant.” He pushed me into my bed.
“You! Give me your phone.” Suddenly he said to his kidnapper friend. I'm limp, extinct I've been trying to get him to give a message to the FBI. This kidnapper is too smart to catch what I'm saying.
“Mobile? Why should I give you my phone..”.
“You heard bastard, if you try to mess with me, I will kill you and this woman and then cross the border alone on foot. Miss us on the border and you're alive, that's all I guarantee now, so do you still love your life?” He doesn't pretend to threaten. He will kill us all if he cannot cross the border safely, and he will cross the border on foot as a lone ranger himself.
“Alright, calm down bro, you got my phone.” The threat of the Russians I don't know his name is paying off. He handed me his phone and I'm now losing hope of getting him to send the text-to 911. But I shouldn't give up now, maybe he's smart to leave a message later.
“Good, I don't hesitate to finish you off if you betray me remember.” Come on you know you just have to send a message to 911, do it another way, send a message to anyone, please Senor, I can only see it with a glass, after I take out all my ammo.
“We're on the road now...Watch out you make a fuss inside I broke your finger pretty girl.” I'm gonna go in that cold trunk again and get cramped again. He's dragging me into the trunk of the car right now. It didn't take long for us to walk out of the house. For hours it felt like hell, I wanted to cry locked up for hours in that trunk.
“Toilet..” I staggered as they let me out, starving, cramping, I was devastated because all my body was stiff. But he handcuffed me to a dusty restroom again, this time looking like a barn. Before long he put burgers and drinks for me, keeping me alive of course.
Shortly afterwards, the Mexican man spoke.
“Sir, I have to call my friend, my wife will ask why she can't call me Lend me my phone, two minutes, I'll just call my wife, tell her I'm fine. He's gonna wonder why I didn't call him from last night, sir. After that I just need my phone to help me get across the border. That's it, sir, five minutes calling my wife, I won't try to betray you. I can guarantee it..”.
Silence has no sound. Maybe he's considering.
“I'll show you who I'm calling. Just two minutes, after that you can take my phone again and turn it off. If he doesn't hear from me he'll be worried and look for all my friends, please let me call for a minute.”
“Five minutes, I want to see who you call.” Eventually the man gave his consent to call back.
“Good, she's my wife. You can see the contact number and picture of course.”.
I didn't know what was going to happen, was he willing to help me, until I heard his short talk which I understood a little bit.
“How are the children...” Quiet sec.
“Maria, I'm in Alabama, you know the gift they're offering to that woman. Tell Juanito I'm smuggling the woman now call 911 I'm with her captor I'll be killed if she finds out what I'm talking about.” Jesus, he told his wife to call his friend. How does his wife know if Nathan knows I'm headed to Mexico. It seems that man doesn't know Spanish.
"Have you called, decide now," now the Russian is snapping at him in English.
"Well, see you tomorrow Maria, remember my friend's phone, two million waiting." He turned out to be safe, a phone call that didn't last for a minute seemed to save me. Nathan I love you, you're a top Spanish mobster, and a double agent .
It must have been him who spread the competition, somehow they knew I was headed for the Mexican border! That means maybe my message will get to the right person!? Oh my God help me now... Let this work
