Undercover

Tied Down and Lay Down

I open my eyes and tried to move, my hands were tied behind me on a chair and my feet were bound to the chair legs. I had tape over my mouth and I looked around and saw Lucas tied up across from me awake and looking at me worried. I try and wiggle my way out but I heard footsteps behind me and I stop and turn my head. Carl walks beside me smiling.
"Good morning sleeping beauty" I watch him as he moves to the couch. We are still in our house in the living room but all the curtains are closed.
"I knew you two don't belong here. Something was off when I met you. And now I know. You two were sent here to stop the bad guy from killing more people. But... guess the bad guy got the lead. And now, both of you, or one of you will tell me what I want to know about the company you work for and how to get to your boss Mike. And I will get that information even if I have to kill you for it." I look at Lucas and if Looks could kill, Carl would be disintegrated on he spot.

A few hours passed and all he did was take the tape off of us and ask us questions. It was near midnight and I was tired. Lucas knew it, the baby made me tired all the time. I had bags under my eyes and my stomach was upset and Lucas seen I was pale and knew my stomach was turning. I heard Lucas start talking and looked up.
"Hey baby, deep breathes. You're okay. Just take deep breathes. Close your eyes and get some sleep."
"No, Sleep is not an option. This part of torture includes lack of sleep." He Comes over slapping my face to keep me awake. I turn my head away and Lucas yells.
"Keep your hands off her!"
"Tell me what I want to hear." I look at Lucas and shake my head.
"Don't... it's not worth it. We can't say anything." Carl Pulls my hair.
"Shut up!" Lucas looks at me
"I can't..."
"You can. We are trained for this... you know it." Lucas takes a breathe and nods.
"I love you."
"I love you too." Carl Walks over to Lucas.
"I don't think you two understand what his means. He hits Lucas in the stomach and doubles forward, I close my eyes looking away. Carl tells.
"Watch! Or he dies" I look up and start crying. I didn't want too but my hormones make me emotional and to see Lucas in pain kills me. Carl hit him again in the same spot and he doubles over again.
"Stop!"
"Tell me where your boss is!"
"I can't!"
"Fine, if you can't tell me, and he won't talk. I bet that little baby in you will make someone talk."

Lucas and my eyes widen in horror and he walks towards me.
"No... no!" I struggle as much as I can and Lucas yells.
"Don't touch her! Fight me!"
"I can't do that Lucas. I need that info. And I have to do anything to get it." I take a deep breathe and watch Carl as I fight against the tape on my hands to be free.
"Please... don't do this... please."
"You know I can't stop until I get what I want. That's why you were sent here, to stop me, cause I can't be stopped."
"It's an unborn child... how could you do this..."
"I just can. I'm just trying to think of the best way to do it..."
"You mean so it won't hurt...? Cause you don't understand how painful losing a child is no matter if it is in the womb or not."
"I don't care, and it's to make you feel more pain. This is torture after all."
"Well... killing my baby will kill me. So you ain't getting a word from me."
"Is that what you think?"
"That is what I know." He Nods And hits my side. I let out a small yell and hold back what I can just trying to breathe through it. I open my eyes to see Lucas off his chair. He must have gotten free and he charged at Carl and they both fell forward, I was in the way cause Carl knocked me over landing on my arm and hitting my head. I wince and lay there cause I can't get free. After a while I feel someone lift my chair and untie my hands and Lucas moves in front of me bending down untying my legs. I lean forward and hugs him. He holds me and helps my stand.
"We need to leave. Are you okay to run?"
"Yeah... and Leave..? Why?"
"He's not the only one here."
I Turn around and looks out the windows to see a van and people dressed in black coming with guns. He takes my hand and we run to the back door. There was people running through the lawn to us. Lucas pulls me behind him as he runs off into the woods at the end of the subdivision. We run for a while and I have to stop. Being pregnant takes a lot of energy and when your sleep deprived it takes more.
"I can't..." I slow to a stop and leans against a tree taking deep breathes. Lucas or a short version is Luke, Stops And comes to me.
"Are you okay..?"
"I'm out of breathe... and I'm really tired..."
"I know baby, but they're coming."
"It's dark out... can't we hide..?"
"Okay. We can find a spot. Can you make it a little longer to find somewhere?" I nod and stand up ready to go, and we both run until we find a small den by some rocks.
