Ch. 6 - PBWR


The sound of footsteps on the rickety stairs had them looking up as their tormentor returned with two other men. Unknown to the detectives they'd met the new strangers before, although not officially, as it was Sean and Parker who'd broken into their home and abducted them.

“What the hell are you doing?” Nora demanded as the two men began releasing Nikki from her bindings.

“We were told that you weren't cooperating so Detective Beaumont is going to take us to Jensen,” one of the men informed them as they pulled the brunette to her feet. Nikki attempted to struggle against them but in her weakened state it was ineffective.

Nora pulled against her ropes. “Wait. She doesn't know where he is.”

“We were told differently.”

“You were told wrong. I drove him to the safe house.”

“Then tell us where he is,” the man demanded.

“Once I know she's safe I will,” Nora promised.

“Nora, you can't,” Nikki pleaded.

Dougie stood in the corner watching the exchange, still completely confused by the actions of the two women.

Parker stood behind Nikki, firmly holding her arms behind her back. Sean stood in front of her, but had his eyes on Nora. “I know about you two you know.” He turned back to Nikki, grabbing her chin to force eye contact. “Took you from your bed myself.”

“You may as well kill us, you know we aren't going to tell you anything,” Nikki asserted with confidence, even as her heart beat rapidly in her chest.

He stepped closer and ran his hands down her body. “I may have another idea to loosen your girlfriend's tongue. Think she'll like watching.”

“Get your fucking hands off her,” Nora yelled at the same time Nikki spit in his face.

“Bitch,” he growled as he grabbed Nikki's shirt and ripped it open.

“276 Reynes,” Nora cried. All eyes turned her direction. “The safe house is 276 Reynes,” she repeated as her head hung in defeat.

“Very good,” Sean smiled. “Let her go,” he ordered his partner.

Without the help standing, Nikki fell to her knees.

The two men stepped toward the stairs. “Kill them,” Sean ordered as he passed Dougie.

When the two were gone Nikki crawled over, wrapped her arms around Nora's waist and rested her head on her partner's lap. “You shouldn't have done that.”

“I'm sorry Nikki but I had to do something,” Nora breathed.

“I sure hope those guys can swim,” Dougie said as he stepped out of the shadows.

Both women looked up at him. “Why didn't you say anything?” Nora asked.

Dougie shrugged as he stepped forward. “They don't pay me to think and never ask my opinion.”

“I don't understand,” Nikki said as she looked to her partner.

“Reynes doesn't go that low, 276 should put them in the Mississippi,” Nora informed her.

Nikki smiled and then turned back to their abuser. “So now what?”

“Now I'm supposed to kill you.”

Nikki pushed to her feet and put herself between the man and her partner. “Do you know who we are? Who I am?”

Dougie smiled at her fortitude. “I didn't until Sean said your name.”

“If you kill us you won't find Jensen.” Nikki's statement actually made the man laugh.

“Blondie was willing to bite off her own tongue, I may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I do know when to quit.”

“So...what?” Nora asked.

“I'm leaving, what you two do is up to you,” he stated as he moved toward the stairs. “Given our lines of work we will most likely meet again. And it probably won't end well.”

“But, why? Aren't you going to get into trouble?”

“Fuck, Nikki,” Nora hissed. “Who cares?”

Dougie smiled. “They should have known better than to bring me cops. Besides they're going to have enough trouble of their own, falling for that address. Plus, I kinda like you two. I've been doing this a long time and I've never let anyone go.” He turned and started up the steps. “You should owe me one.”

The two watched in confusion as he made his way out of the basement with Nikki eventually shaking off her daze to drop behind the chair to untie Nora.

“Nik, you need to get out of here.”

“I know; we will.”

“No, Nikki, we don't know where we are or how soon those other two will get back.”

“I'm hurrying,” Nikki mumbled as she struggled with the knot.

“You have to go. If you're here when he gets back.....please,” the blonde begged. “I can't....”

“Nora,” Nikki sighed. “We will leave here together,” she demanded as she finally succeeded with the knot.

With her arms finally free Nora bent over to untie the rope around her ankles. “What the hell were you thinking?” she shook her head. “Worrying about his trouble. Did you want him to change his mind?”

“I'm sorry,” Nikki said as she pulled her partner to her feet. “But that was weird. Right?”

“Yes,” Nora agreed. “That was weird.” She reached up to lightly cup Nikki's cheek. “You okay? You look like hell.”

“Right back at ya, darlin'.” Nikki leaned forward and their lips came together. They both pulled back quickly.

“Ow,” they said in unison.

Nora fingered her busted lip. “I love you but let's not do that again.”

“Oh yeah,” Nikki agreed. “Now let's get the hell out of here.”

Hey they just walked, or limped, hopefully do not end up crawling.

So are they on the case? shoved into their own safehouse (not that I imagine them stayin)? How many different colors will their bruises be the next day? Looking forward to finding out.

Hmm... grabbing cops, is very bad for business, they get a might titchy when their own are grabbed like that. Dougie made a good decision for himself, I am thinking.

The two idiots are going to be mad.

Waiting for more :)
