Detective Reynolds

Chapter 10

I woke up, in a haze. Everything just didn't seem right. I tried to move but my arms were tied and my legs.
That's when realization hit me. I was tied to a chair, in my own apartment. I had duct tape over my mouth.
I tried to escape but I couldn't.
"Well well well, look who's trying to leave me" he said walking towards me.
He had my gun, pointing it at me.
"You were always the one to shit on our family. Always trying to leave" he said darkly.
Anger was rising in me. As I tried to escape again.
"Trying to leave me again?" He said almost hurt.
He bent down so our faces were level.
"You were always trying to leave us" he said.
"Why? Why'd you always want to leave us?!" He screamed as he slapped me across the face.
I just squinted my eyes shut from the impact.
When I looked at him, it was like I was looking at my dad... hitting me over and over and over again.
"You scream and I swear to god, I will kill you right here" he said close to my face.
I nodded my head slowly.
He took the tape off my face.
He laughed.
"I can think of a million things to do with you right now" he laughed.
"Then do it" I tested him.
"Shut up, you bitch" he barked at me.
"Are you man enough to?" I asked.
"You know what lex, you always had something to say. Always had your opinion on everything! Why can't you just listen and be good for once!?" He yelled.
"What. Do. You. Want" I said.
"...You" he said darkly.
He untied my arms and legs, I was confused.
"I want a struggle lex. C'mon! Come at me" he yelled.
I didn't move.
I just got up slowly.
"James... relax, I know you're hurt-"
"Hurt?! I'm not hurt. I'm angry. That you betrayed us!" He screamed pointing the gun at me again.
"Put the gun down and we can talk about this" I said walking closer to him.
"God, you're so annoying! You're always trying to help, but you always end up making things worse" he said.
That's when I tried to snatch the gun from his hands.
We were fighting over it when he pushed me and I fell on the coffee table knocking it over.
I was getting up when he grabbed me by my neck.
"You think you're so powerful, you stupid bitch" he said and threw me against the mirror on the wall, shattering it.
Glass was everywhere.
Cut me up on my arms and legs.
I tried to get up again before he kicked me in my ribs.
I fell to the floor, coughing.
He grabbed me by the neck and threw me against the wall.
Chocking me.
I was fighting him when I pushed my thumb into his eye.
He yelled in pain and let go of my neck.
"What the fuck!" He screamed.
He came at me and pushed me onto the floor knocking pictures off the wall.
He punched me and kicked me. I felt the familiar pain everywhere. Blood was all over my clothes and the floor.
He picked me up by my hair again, I was weak.
I felt the blood pouring out of my nose.
"Night lex" he laughed.
He hit me in the temple with my gun. Knocking me out.
*
When I came to I was somewhere unfamiliar.
I was tied up, again, whit duct tape over my mouth.
I could barely breath or move. I was in too much pain.
I spent what felt like hours just lying here.
He never came out.
Nothing.
He just left me there.
