Kraken
Intro
I lay here bound and seemingly helpless, but where is here?

I am blindfolded; my nose is plugged with a scent filter, my mouth gagged. I can only rely on my senses of touch and hearing. Warm air gently caresses the right side of my body, while cold air stabs sharp cold needles into my left side.

My right ankle tied with soft velvet, my left tied with a thorn metal chain.

A soft silk cloth wrapped around my neck hugs my right breast and holds it in place. A metal cloth pin digs deep into my left nipple. Slowly the sharp pain dissipates and numbness follows as warm blood flows down my breast.

I hear footsteps eco in the distance. A squeak of a door knob heightens my sensations as I await my fate. They will come for me. I know they will come for me. The GPS locator embedded into my thigh will lead them to me. Soundless words run into my head in an attempt to comfort myself.

I am determined to find him. I will not fail my superiors, I will not fail myself. I will capture Kraken. I attempt to draw strength from my resolve.

My mind wonders for a moment to the beginning of my plight. The media frenzy was what first brought him to light. Over the period of six months a number of women in different parts of the country were found bound, gagged and tortured to the edge of death.

The victims were from all walks of life. They were of all ages, shapes, sizes, education and race. Aside from the manner in which they were found, the other main common factor between them was a tattoo.

As no DNA was ever recovered from any of the crime scenes, the only physical evidence of his existence, aside from the savage beating each woman received, was his branding, his seal, the tattoo, the mark of the Kraken. Not a single tattoo parlor was able to identify the origins of the design. A nationwide search yielded no results as to who the artist was.

Each tattoo was an individual depiction of each victim within the grasp of an outlined skin-toned Kraken. The Kraken held each victim exactly the same way. I remember my horror and fascination as I looked at the pictures of the tattoo.

Four of the Kraken’s tentacles held her arms and legs and spread them wide. A fifth tentacle wrapped itself around her neck and extended itself into her mouth, as a sixth tentacle buried itself deep in the warmth between her legs.

The woman’s right arm and leg were held firmly yet gently by the Kraken as droplets of water ran down her limbs. The woman’s left arm and leg were squeezed tightly as the Kraken’s sharp ends dug into them while droplets of blood trickled down her body.

Another two tentacles extended to her breasts. The right breast gently caressed while the left one mercilessly squeezed.  The last set of tentacles is at the bottom of her buttocks acting as a chair. The right buttock comfortably sinking into the softness of the Kraken’s tentacle while the left buttock is clenched in pain as the Kraken’s sharp ends dug into it.

At her feet in the middle between her spread legs rested a mixture of blood and water.

Each woman’s face in the tattoo was a fusion of ecstasy and agony.

After being hospitalized, each woman was extensively interviewed and re-interviewed in hopes of finding the monster who did this to them. They all stuck to one line, they did not know. Each woman was abducted from her home. Each woman went to sleep and woke up the next day restrained in a location they could not recognize as they were blindfolded.

For the duration of their captivity they were asked a set of confusing questions, “Who is Kraken? Where is Kraken? What did Kraken make you do?”

These were the questions on the mind of every law enforcement agent in the country.

I remember reading one of the victims’ interviews. “In the beginning many kinksters speculated that he is no more than an urban myth in the fetish community. “A guy who pays your bills and shows you a good time?” they laughed”.

“No one knew his real name. No one had ever seen his face. Few were allowed a taste of his intoxicating scent. Yet anyone who ventured into his lair felt him, his unyielding touch, his invigorating presence, his captivating power, his unparalleled control. Only a fortunate few were allowed to drink his nectar of approval.”

“No one can contact him, although many constantly seek him. If he sets his eyes on you, he finds a way to lock the mercury of his chains around your ankles.”


To our knowledge no one has yet refused him.

No one knew who his first woman was, how his name became the whispers of many.

Strangest of all, no one knew where he lives. Even those who were summoned to his domain could not discern its location.

“He is as transparent as the air, yet as dark as the depth of the ocean,” one victim proclaimed.

All the victims insisted that the man, who tortured them and left them at the edge of death, was not Kraken. “He did not “feel” like Kraken,” They insisted. His voice was different. His scent was different. Everything about his “energy” was the complete opposite of what they had experienced the first time. “Plus, why would he ask us these questions about himself?” they persisted, “The person that tortured us really wanted to know who Kraken was” they seemed certain of it.

The department’s psychological profiler explained the confusing line of questioning. Kraken is a disturbed, possibly schizophrenic psychopath. He lured the women with his charm and provided them with a very deep emotional and physical experience. Afterwards, consciously or through an alternate ego, he aimed to destroy the women on every level, gaining satisfaction from the power of creation and destruction he has over them. He has what is called the, “God Complex.”

He enjoys the process of breaking the women. As he questions them about himself while he is torturing them, he is destroying and killing everything he created in them. In the same time in their minds he is creating the notion that he is a different person from what they encountered the first time. Thus they struggle more to keep the sanctity of something they hold deer while enduring the pain. He gets his satisfaction when they finally break and spill all they were not supposed to tell. Then he departs the scene leaving them there, pretending to be frustrated with the lack of an answer from his victims to the questions of who is Kraken and where does he live, as the women truly do not know.

Our investigation revealed that he contacted the victims online through BDSM dating sites. His account had not been used since the case became public. Traces on his account lead to a dead end. The victim’s computers’ were no better. After the first encounter each victim had been returned to her normal life, they were instructed to delete all the digital data of their contact and use publicly known and available software to completely eliminate the possibilities of data retrieval.

After some strictly online conversing, through text only, never voice, each woman received an invitation to his “lair” to experience life and existence in ways they never before thought or conceived. As a token of good faith, all their finances were covered for a full month before the meeting. After the women agreed, each was given a set of instructions to initiate the meeting. They are instructed to quit their jobs and promised all their finances will continue to be taken care of electronically until they return to their normal lives and found new jobs. Or course the electronic trail once more lead nowhere.

Each woman was instructed to fly to a different part of the country with no luggage, carrying no more than her wallet and some money. They were not allowed to have any electronics with them, including cell phones. Each woman was to go to a public park at a specific time during the night and await Kraken. Surprisingly the last night each woman remembers after that is sitting or standing in the park waiting. The next thing they remember is being awake and bound in a place they could not see or smell.

During their entire stay, they were blindfolded. Some stayed days, others weeks. Each woman had a different story about her experience with Kraken. However, they all started out painful and ended up blissful.

When the time came for them to go back to their normal lives, they recall being scrubbed, bathed and washed inside numerous times. This procedure was to leave no traces of DNA or fibers on or in them. After the last bathing, they recall nothing until being awake at another park late at night, after which they flew home.

The interaction was not reached under the pretense of prostitution. Some of the women were wealthy and needed no such financial support. Yet Kraken insisted on financially supporting the women during the time they spent in his “lair”.  After each victim found a new job or managed to return to her old one, Kraken would terminate contact with them as it was mutually agreed upon beforehand.

The victims felt repressed, frustrated, unfulfilled and underwhelmed by society’s everyday norms and expectations. Each victim felt they had an opportunity to let out every ounce of their womanhood into light. To live and expose all their being, both dark and bright to the very core of whom they are.

“What a lucrative offer especially if delivered by a man of Kraken’s proven charm and caliber in manipulation”, I thought to myself.  

Even the victims that were married or involved in some way, he found ways to draw them in and even get consent of their significant others. Some of his victims were businesswomen who employed, managed and controlled tens if not hundreds of employees. Yet he managed to “Bewitch them” so to speak. The media called him, “The modern day psychological houdini.”

A nickname rightfully deserved in my opinion. I grew up believing a woman should not bow to any man. A woman is as good as any man. A woman loses herself once she submits to any man. Through this case I saw the truth in my beliefs.

After the public frenzy, something unexpected happened. We received an email with the names and addresses of all the women Kraken Had ever come in contact with. The email urged us to protect these women. The email was from Kraken. He also denied any involvement in the torture cases. Since then Kraken had stopped contacting any new women.

The psychological profiler assed this as Kraken’s way of playing with us, “He is challenging us to catch him”, he insisted. “That is also why he did not kill those women”, he continued.

After months of research and endless interviews this was all the information we could gather. We caught a lucky break when the last woman Kraken had initiated a conversation with and set up a meeting, came to us. Kraken had attempted to contact her since the case exploded into the media. She however was too frightened to open any of his messages and was too embarrassed to come forward to the authorities. At the insistence of her husband, she had finally agreed to step forward.

As this has become a priority issue for my superiors, it was decided someone had to go deep into the underground. Someone had to take this woman’s place and try to draw Kraken out. Luckily he had not seen this woman’s picture. He only had a vague description of what she looked like. She was about to send him her picture before the meeting was to take place, but when the case became public, she had retracted that idea.

No female officer fitting the woman’s general description dared to volunteer for the assignment. I stepped up almost immediately after being briefed. They were hesitant about sending a junior officer out in the field in the throngs of such a dangerous mission. But I was the only volunteer, they had no other choice.

I must prove myself. I am determined to find him. I will not fail my superiors, I will not fail myself. I will capture Kraken.

Chapter 1

Eva

“How did this happen? How did we lose control? When are they going to get this over this? I should be out there with the search party,” I thought to myself.
Steps echoed throughout the hall. I knew this was the internal affairs investigators. The footsteps stopped behind the interrogation room’s door. Now it was my turn to answer their questions.

Without knocking, the door squeaked open. Two men wearing black overcoats and navy blue suits entered. One immediately sat in front of me, the other closed the door then stood behind me.

“I am agent Summers and this is agent Thomson.” The man sitting in front of me calmly said. “As you are aware we are investigating last night’s events,” he continued. I shook my head with a “Yes.”

He placed a recorder on the table and clicked the recording button then starred straight into my eyes.

“State your name and badge number for the record.”

“Scott Andrews, badge number 4596”

“Age?”

“35”

“How long have you been in the force officer Andrews?”

“Ten years”

“For the record state your recollection of last night’s event”

What I said on record is one thing. My actual thoughts are another. I am sure you prefer my unfiltered version.

My nick name in the division is “Father Scott”. Why do you wonder?

A perfect example would be the junior officer assigned to our unit a few months ago, Officer Eva Delagado. As usual all the single guys and even a few married ones were all betting on who will be the first to ask her out and who will be the first to “nail” her. Some were joking, others were serious. Such conversations of course are only within the confinement of the locker rooms and showers. A few heads would fly off their shoulders if word of any of this gets out. I have been always the outsider to their line of thought and behavior. I did not condone it, yet I did not report it. Aside from their boyish behavior, these officers were all good men. Aside from their lack of admiration of my love life, they all respected me as an officer and had complete faith in my abilities as one of them.

I am not a religious old school virgin. I am man like any other with needs and desires. However, I am the type of guy who treats a woman with respect. I do not have one-night-stands. I do not hit on every woman I see. I believe a woman is equal to a man and should have equal say in whatever that goes on in a relationship. Whether officer, Eva is attractive or not, that will not change how I view her, as long as she does her job well.

Of course the guys disagreed with my views. “As long as you behave that way, you won’t be able to hold a woman,” they advised. I don’t think my failed relationship had anything to do with my views on women, although most of them ended with the sentence, “You are just too nice Scott”. Personally I believe I just haven’t met the right one yet.

As soon as Eva entered the division, all eyes were on her. She was a beautiful woman in every sense of the word, despite her attempts to hide it. She had her dark hair in a pony tail and no makeup. All the guys whistled and cracked jokes amongst themselves. She didn’t pay attention to any of them. She walked towards me, our eyes locked for a moment, such strength, determination and defiance I sensed in her. I held the door open for her as she entered the Captain’s office. She didn’t even say thank you. I am not sure if it was arrogance, pride or simply her attempt to prove some point.

The Captain knew no one would treat Eva as professionally as I would. She was assigned as my partner. My last partner had moved recently after getting married. Her becoming my partner was the looker room’s talk. “Father Scott got the new hottie,” that did not stop them from trying to get in her pants. Its one thing to shoot someone down, Eva on the other hand simply ignored all advances made by anyone around her.

She did not crack any jokes, talk about herself or even smile. She was always serious and focused on her work. The only personal thing she ever told me was her desire to be a detective before hitting thirty. From my personal observations, it seemed whenever we dealt with a domestic violence call, her whole face tighten. I admired her attitude and determination. The following months revolved around routine police work. Until the day one of Kraken’s victims was discovered in our district.
I could see the burning fury into Eva’s eyes during the preliminary investigation. That fury burnt even hotter when the Feds took over the case. What we did not know at the time was that other victims had been discovered in other states. There was a “hush hush” co-coordinated investigation by the Feds.

After hitting so many dead ends, our lucky break came from a woman who had been in the process of meeting Kraken prior to the case becoming public knowledge. The woman and her husband were in an open relationship. Therefore her conversations were not hidden from her husband.
She had stepped forward with her husband and gave a full report about their contact with Kraken. The Feds wanted two of their agents to impersonate the woman and her husband and contact Kraken to set up the meeting. No one knew how he managed to abduct his victims and avoid attracting any attention. This was a potentially deadly undercover mission; it was strictly a volunteer duty.

Kraken had not seen any pictures of the woman or her husband; however, he had a detailed description of their physical appearance through his chats with them. Unfortunately no federal agent fitting the woman’s description was available for the assignment. It was filtered down to the local law enforcement agencies to find a suitable candidate. There was a few who fit the physical description, but only Eva volunteered.

In the beginning I was supportive of Eva’s decision, not that she asked my opinion or needed my permission. However, I recalled overhearing two female officers talking about a long mark on her back they had seen in the locker room. One of them had tried to ask Eva about it, but Eva completely ignored them, although they saw deep resentment and anger in her face.

That incident made me pause and think of Eva’s true motivation behind volunteering for this assignment. Was it career advancement, bravery or something else all together? Given the lack of a personal relationship between us, I had no definitive way of finding out. Although I suspected she had ulterior motives behind her eagerness to volunteer. I also recalled how she reacted to the domestic violence cases we handled together. I had to keep those thoughts to myself for the time being. I did not wish to hinder her efforts. This was a private matter.

We were not entirely sure if Isabella’s home, the woman Eva was to impersonate, was under any type of surveillance. It did not seem that Kraken stalked the women in anyway prior to the initial meeting. If he was stalking Isabella and her husband George, then Kraken already knew they went to the police. It was important to know where Kraken stood. We asked Isabella to email Kraken from her home, Kraken is an electronics wizard and we did not want to arouse his suspicion.
She was to tell him the explosion of the case in the media had frightened her. However, she has had second thoughts and wants to go through with the meeting. She would ask Kraken if it was possible to bring along her husband as a show of good faith. If Kraken agreed then an officer would be able to accompany Eva to the meeting.

While Isabella was preparing her email under the supervision of the department’s psychologist, Eva was reading all the chats Isabella had with Kraken. “The man knew exactly how to reach into Isabella’s inner being and capture it” Eva told me. “His attention to detail and analytical skills were incredible. His questions, sometimes seemingly vague and minute, allowed him deep insight into Isabella’s psyche”, she explained. She seemed irked and fascinated with what she read.

It was not expected for Eva to carry any long conversation with Kraken. But just in case, Eva needed to know what Isabella and Kraken talked about. The plan was simple. Isabella would set the meeting with Kraken. After receiving the instructions, Eva and another officer would take the place of Isabella and her husband. Each would have a GPS chip embedded into their inner thigh. We did not want to spook Kraken through a surveillance perimeter at the final meeting place. Also we weren’t sure if he would be watching them during their trip.

To our relief, Kraken replied and agreed to allow Isabella’s husband to come along. This meant Kraken had no idea of the operation at hand. Kraken asked for a picture of Isabella and George, of course a picture of Eva and agent Price were sent. Kraken wired money to Isabella’s account for plane tickets to another state. The instructions were to leave all electronics behind. After arriving they were to board another plane and fly to another state. From there they were to go to an internet café for further instructions via email.

Everything seemed to go smoothly, too smoothly. Were we playing Kraken? Or was he playing us? Of course the opinions of a local law enforcer weighed nothing with the Feds.

Chapter 2

Into Thin Air

“Progress report?” agent Masson asked in his usual arrogant and superior tone.

As expected, the Feds had total control over the operation, from planning to execution. I had insisted to join the operation. The Captain had to call in a few favors to let me in on it. It didn’t hurt that Kraken’s last victim was in our local backyard.

Masson was the federal agent in charge of the operation. Masson, as all feds, thinks the local law enforcement are ill equipped and trained for high profile cases as this one.

“Everything is in place and under control, Sir,” I replied with as respectful of a voice as I could muster. “Officer Delagado and agent Price are in the park awaiting Kraken. The silent chopper is patrolling the area. Its night and thermal cameras report no activity so far, Sir. Less than ten minutes to the time Kraken set for the meeting.”

“Put me through to the pilot and sniper.” Masson ordered.

“Yes, Sir,” I replied.

“Previous orders still stand; you are not to take any action against Kraken unless you feel the lives of our agents are in danger. If the situation gets out of hand try to keep Kraken alive if possible, use your best judgment. Once Kraken picks them up, you are to pursue them to their final destination. The ground team will be five KMs behind you tracking their movements via Satellite in case any assistance is required, any questions?” Masson’s words may have left room for questioning, but not his tone.

“No, Sir. Orders received and acknowledged,” both the pilot and sniper replied quickly.

“Put me through to the ground team,” Masson ordered, his attention focused on the monitors relaying the feeds from the chopper’s cameras.

We had been following officers Delagado and Price across the country for the past few days via the GPS chips implanted in their thighs. Today they went into a Starbucks, giving us the sign that the final destination had been revealed by Kraken. A mobile command center was set up five KMs from the meeting place, a quiet park outside of the city.

“Maintain complete silence. Be ready to intervene in case the situation calls for it. No one and I mean NO ONE,” Masson looked at me and continued, “is to take any actions without my explicit order. Understood?”

I wished at that moment I could punch him straight in the face. A number of “Yes Sirs” replied through the com link.

On the monitors, Eva and Price were sitting on a bench in a dimly lit corner of the park. They weren’t talking, if they were, they much have been whispering. Keeping up the act of husband and wife, Eva had rested her head on Price’s shoulder and snuggled closer to him. It was a cold night and they hardly made any movement. If it weren’t for the vapors of their breaths and the heat of their bodies I would have thought they were granite statues.

I saw a slight movement, what seemed like a twitch for a split second. The movement seemed to come first from Eva and then Price. I looked at Masson to see if he saw what I believe I saw, but his face showed no reaction. We had no radio contact with them. I could not confirm or check anything. Moments later the infrared monitor turned bright white. The thermal imaging monitor turned bright red.

“What the hell is going on,” Masson yelled. At the same time the pilot’s voice came through the com link, “Sir, we lost visual contact. Something is messing with our monitors. What are your orders?”

“I can see what you are talking about, but what is causing this? Is there a multifunction in the cameras,” Masson yelled back.

“No Sir, it does not seem there is anything wrong with the cameras. We aimed them elsewhere in the park and we had no problems. The issue is localized to about a KM radius around the agents,” the pilot quickly replied.

“Scott what’s the status of the GPS signal,” Masson asked.

“Strange,” my heart sank, “agent Price’s GPS indicates he is still sitting on the bench at the park. Officer Eva’s GPS is no longer visible on the screen,” I replied with concern. “What are your orders?”

Masson paused for a second and yelled through the com link, “Alpha team, go to the park and give me a visual confirmation on the situation. Beta team, surround all the exits and entrances to the park, no one leaves this park. The rest of the units surround the entire area. Put up the road blocks, I do not want ANYONE leaving the 5 KM perimeter without going through the roadblocks,” he hurryingly ordered. “To the bird in the sky, provide air surveillance in the designated perimeter,” then he turned to me, “Officer Andrews, get us to the damn park.”

The man was an arrogant son of a bitch, but I had to hand it to him. His response was efficient and on point. The quiet night was deafened by the siren sounds coming from all the corners of the area. Something went wrong, I could feel it. I drove like a maniac to reach the park.
Alpha team had already reached the park their commander’s voice crackled though the com link, “Sir, we can see Agent Price sitting on the bench. Officer Eva is no longer there. There is no sign of struggle. Shall we proceed further?”

Masson’s face grew grim, “Get to that bench with your team. Find out what the hell is going on,” he replied with deeper concern.
Moments later alpha team’s commander confirmed our worst fear, “There is something sticking out of Agent Price’s neck. What looks like a small dart.”

“Is he dead?” Masson worryingly asked.

“No, Sir, he is breathing. I think it’s a tranquilizer dart.”

“Any sign of Officer Eva?”

“No Sir, I can confirm no sign of struggle in the general vicinity. She is just not here.”

“Call the paramedics. And keep me posted on Price’s status.”

“Yes, Sir”

“Beta team, I am sending Charlie team to run a thorough search of the park. Orders still stand, no one leaves the park until further notice.”

“Yes, Sir”

“Scott, any luck with Eva’s GPS locator”

“No, Sir.”

At that point my mind was racing and my heart beating outside of my chest. What happened? How it happened?

The park was searched numerous times thoroughly. No sign of Kraken or Eva was found. Not even tire marks. Everyone leaving the park was detained and questioned to no avail. The roadblocks were as fruitless as well. It is as I had feared, we weren’t playing Kraken, he had been playing us all along.

It has been a long while since I updated you guys on the events of the story. I hit a personal rough point in my life on various levels, thus I had not been able to write the rest of the story. However, things are stabilizing at the moment and I have returned to writing the rest of the story.

Initially chapter 3 was going to be the Dance. That has now changed. The Dance will be Chapter 5. Chapter 3 is now Captive which I will be posting right now.

Thank you all for your patience, support and understanding.

Chapter 3

Captive


The footsteps stopped. The faint whoosh of what I presume is a door whispers into my ear as the footsteps resumed towards me. Fingers are running through my hair. I can feel them undo my blindfold. My heart is racing. My instinct tells me to struggle, but the strength of my resolve still me. My eyes are slowly opening. I am not sure if I am blind or it’s just dark. A faint blue light is flickering in front of my eyes. The light is slowly increasing. My eyes hurt but they are getting used to the light. The blurriness is fading. I can see now there is an LCD monitor in front of my eyes, about 6 inches away.

Letters are starting to appear on the screen. My eyes slowly start to put the letters together and realize they are words.

“Your eyes are going to take awhile until they fully adjust to the light of the monitor. When you can clearly read what is being typed, shake your head up and down.”

I can clearly read it all, yet I am afraid to acknowledge it. Maybe if I can buy myself more time until the swat team comes in.

“Officer Eva Delagado”

My mind just froze. He knows my name. The jig is up. For how long though has he known about our plan?

“From your breathing and momentary complete freeze and lack of motion, I deduce you must be able to read everything clearly. There is no point of trying to hide anything anymore.”

Maybe he knows who I am but he does not know I have an embedded GPS locator in my thigh, or does he? As if he can read my mind his answer is appearing on the monitor letter by letter.

“You can forget anyone coming to get you. Yes, I do know about the GPS locator. It has been deactivated before we even left the park. No one knows where you are. The sooner you come to terms to that the sooner we can work together on solving the mystery of who has been hurting the women I have been in contact with.”

My brain is in disarray. I am not sure what to think or do. Can I really trust this invisible Ghost of a man? Do I have a choice in the matter? I am under his mercy. If I resist he might hurt me. Perhaps I should just play along, especially since he seems to be playing the role of denial about his actions in hurting his victims. Ok I will shake my head.

“Good. Now I am sure you are wondering how you ended up here despite being under the complete surveillance of the FBI. You must also be wondering where you are and of course what I plan to do to you. The first two questions you will have to earn their answers. The third question’s answer will depend entirely on YOU. How? This will become clearer over time.” Over time?! How long is he planning on keeping me here? Wherever “here” is.

“I am planning on keeping you here for as long as it takes to find the real criminal you are looking for. I will also keep you for as long as it takes to discover the “real” you.” Does he read minds? He is answering me as if every thought in my head is completely transparent. What does he mean by discovering the real me? What is he planning? “My plan will be revealed over time. You should try to not worry about that too much. You are safe here, you have my word.” What is his word worth? Does he expect me to just trust him? I am sure he is not that naïve.

“No of course I do not think you will trust me right away. After all you are completely bound and virtually blindfolded at the moment as you cannot see anything past this monitor. You will learn to trust me that I am sure of and when that happens, you shall have your questions answered. You have been tied for a long time now. You must be hungry, thirsty and require the use of a bathroom. As I am not purely an animal, you will be granted all the requirements of sustenance and cleanliness. Also as a token of good will, you will get a daily chance to speak to your mother on the phone. I know how you always check on her.”

This man knows about me too much. What is the extent of his knowledge?

“Yes I know a lot about you, more than you can imagine. However, what I know is irrelevant if you do not know it yourself and more importantly accept it. My words may seem puzzling but I know a part of you understands me.”

I am not sure I know what he means, but I think I do. I have never been as confused as right now.

“I shall remove the gag from your mouth and allow you to speak. There is no point of screaming but if you feel like it you are more than welcome to try.”

I feel hands on the back of my neck undoing the gag. My lips and jaw ache from how hard I have been biting the gag. I can take deep breaths through my mouth now. I can taste the air. It’s a mixture of cold and heat bitter sweetness, a strange feel on my tongue that I cannot fathom. I tried to move up but my bounds kept me at bay in painful agony as the thorns dug into my skin.

“The best thing to do now is not move at all. Use your mind not your body to express yourself. Now you have the ability to speak as well, utilize it.” I am so thirsty. I need water, but I will not give him the satisfaction of asking for it. “I know you are thirsty.”

A cold glass neared my lips, but I refused it.

“As you wish, I will not force you to drink. However, a question must be answered before we can go anywhere in our investigation. Right now you are in a very unique position. Part of you is caressed while another is tormented. Can you can tell me what each part represents?”

This man has an affinity for games it seems.

“No, this is not a game. It is important that you understand that and adjust your thought process accordingly."

I want to yell, scream, swear and curse him yet my mouth would not utter a word. Maybe it’s the thirst, it must be. I never have a shortage of words.

“If you have an answer but cannot speak, shake your head.”

What you can’t read my mind this time? The thought runs into my head.

“Whether I can or cannot read your mind, this is more about you providing a clear answer of some sort. An answer you will be responsible for its consequences. I ask you one more time, what does you being caressed and tortured at the same time mean?”

A low mumble is forcing itself out of my mouth. “Go to hell. You will eventually beat me senseless like you did your other victims. Come one get it over with”

For the first time I am hearing a deep sigh behind me. If I could only get out of those bonds I would tear him apart.

“I see that we have a lot of work to do. I did not expect this to be easy. You will feel a slight sting in your neck soon. Do not be alarmed I won’t hurt you.”

A sting what sting? What's he going to do to me. Ouch, THAT sting, like the last thing I felt at the park. NO NOT AGAIN.
