"Why..." Grace was almost crying. She desperately wanted to see Gina couplesseduceteens, but she didn couplesseduceteens't want her sister anywhere couplesseduceteens near this creep.
The alarm went off couplesseduceteens again couplesseduceteens, and Gina groggily deduced that she'd hit the Snooze button couplesseduceteens enough. It was four-thirty in the A.M., and her entire night's sleep couplesseduceteens was couplesseduceteens now a couplesseduceteens lost cause. She kicked off the covers couplesseduceteens and sat up slowly. Yawned couplesseduceteens and scratched behind her ear. God couplesseduceteens dammit, she couplesseduceteens thought.
Gina pulled out of her couplesseduceteens driveway and headed couplesseduceteens downtown, figuring she'd cruise over to couplesseduceteens the couplesseduceteens huge club and try to catch Grace outside. She yawned, reaching over to turn on the stereo. Takako Minekawa sang couplesseduceteens about not being able couplesseduceteens to couplesseduceteens sleep.
"We're not at the party couplesseduceteens," came the response. Gina couplesseduceteens could hear cars couplesseduceteens going by in the background.
"Uh-huh," Grace responded. She was still tingling with the effects of couplesseduceteens the latest substance Erik had given couplesseduceteens her. She felt lightheaded, dirty. She'd obviously slept couplesseduceteens in this chair for several hours, and a gamy tang couplesseduceteens wafted up from couplesseduceteens her raver regalia. They were in an empty room, and the couplesseduceteens large window in front of her couplesseduceteens was couplesseduceteens covered with a paper blind couplesseduceteens: it let sunlight in, but afforded no view from outside. The walls and floor were covered in plastic. She silently cursed the day Gina had made her watch The Silence of couplesseduceteens the Lambs.
"I couplesseduceteens know," Gina couplesseduceteens soothed. Grace couplesseduceteens wished she couplesseduceteens could see her sister's face. "We're in some deep shit. What happened?"
Something was happening with the ropes. One at a time, they movie were slackening. She didn't dare open couplesseduceteens her couplesseduceteens eyes couplesseduceteens again, but couplesseduceteens her curiosity burned. What the hell's he doing now? Gina couplesseduceteens heard the ropes fall to the floor couplesseduceteens, one by one. Felt Grace leave the chair behind her, then felt the chair move away as well couplesseduceteens. Erik stood behind her and drew her head back against his stomach couplesseduceteens. Her eyes opened instinctively as his hands gripped her couplesseduceteens head couplesseduceteens and his fingers tugged at her eyebrows. His roughness couplesseduceteens made couplesseduceteens her couplesseduceteens struggle, but couplesseduceteens the drug made her clumsy. She almost spilled out of her chair as Grace couplesseduceteens moved in couplesseduceteens and straddled her, taking the place of the ropes. Her little sister pinned her pelvis into the cheap folding couplesseduceteens chair couplesseduceteens, causing Gina couplesseduceteens to frown against the couplesseduceteens weight couplesseduceteens. She struggled couplesseduceteens meekly against Erik couplesseduceteens's couplesseduceteens hands couplesseduceteens, while Grace began couplesseduceteens to touch her in ways she felt were wholly inappropriate.
Now it couplesseduceteens was Erik's turn to couplesseduceteens straddle Gina, but he didn't movie sit down on her tiny couplesseduceteens lap; just stroked her blonde pixie hair and murmured to her couplesseduceteens. Her eyes had closed again couplesseduceteens. He seemed to be couplesseduceteens trying to get her to stand up, but couplesseduceteens it looked like she had passed couplesseduceteens out. He couplesseduceteens took couplesseduceteens Gina's limp couplesseduceteens arms in each hand and gave an experimental tug. Nothing. Although the lights paralyzed her couplesseduceteens, Grace wanted desperately to check to see if her sister was breathing. Erik pulled her arms couplesseduceteens again, lifting her head up off the back of the couplesseduceteens chair, then lowered her. No response. Frowning, he knelt down and whispered something in couplesseduceteens her ear.
"Come couplesseduceteens on Grace, come couplesseduceteens on." she shrieked, grabbing couplesseduceteens her sister couplesseduceteens's elbow and dragging her toward the big oak door. In a few strides couplesseduceteens, she was frantically working the couplesseduceteens doorknob. It wouldn couplesseduceteens't turn. As she struggled in vain to open the door, she heard a beep. The sound came from a cream-colored alarm panel on a nearby wall. The security system wasn't there to keep burglars out; it was couplesseduceteens there to keep them in.
They reached a street sign after couplesseduceteens running about twenty yards. Holding onto it while she caught her breath, Gina glanced up. Sussex Lane. She knew couplesseduceteens exactly couplesseduceteens where they couplesseduceteens were - a neighborhood away from Seth's. She couplesseduceteens glanced couplesseduceteens back couplesseduceteens down the street to the house couplesseduceteens with the broken window and trampled hedge. No one had come out the front door yet. None of the neighbors had come couplesseduceteens out, either. She wrapped a couplesseduceteens sweaty couplesseduceteens arm around Grace. "C'mon kiddo," she gasped. "Let's couplesseduceteens get out of here."
He turned up the CD couplesseduceteens player on the couplesseduceteens counter, trying to distract himself couplesseduceteens with some old Genesis. Peter Gabriel was couplesseduceteens belting out couplesseduceteens one of his favorites movie:
She couplesseduceteens looked up at him. "Mind if I stay with couplesseduceteens you for awhile?" she asked couplesseduceteens, trying to seem brave.
"You bet."
