Chapter 2:
Suspicion
There wasn't a clear line to the office's exit. Instead, Charlotte had to make it past the two men that sought to keep her captive and have their ways with her. Of course, going straight ahead meant having to charge through two burly men that could easily subdue her in a head-on confrontation. Thus, the blonde decides to retreat towards Mr.Hemsworth's desk, scavenging it for anything useful. Unfortunately, Charlotte finds a ball-point pen instead of finding a sharp edge. Alas, at least there's a metal clip on the pen's hip, making it a bit more threatening than it would be otherwise.
"Stay back!" Charlotte demands, trying to appear dangerous despite armed with a flimsy weapon. Regardless, she spreads her legs and grounds herself in an amateur fighting stance, appearing defensive. "I mean it, you fucking creeps. Get the fuck back!" Charlotte asserts, raising her voice. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to capture anyone's attention outside the room.
"...." Mr.Hemsworth stands in silence, staring at Charlotte in disbelief. Comically, he glances towards his partner, who shares his gawking expression. "Oh no..." They mutter in synchrony before turning their heads back towards the blonde. "S-she's...She's got a pen!" The two exclaim before screaming hysterically. Quickly, their hysterical screams fade away, giving birth to hearty laughter. Indeed, the men were terrified by this pen-wielding damsel.
"Good, they're distracted."
Charlotte thinks to herself, remaining silent while the pair enjoy their disturbing humor. She utilizes the few moments to formulate a plan, searching for anything more threatening than her stylish ball-point weapon.
"Ah!"
Charlotte's eyes widen with excitement as she spots a glass of hot coffee. While it isn't precisely the deadly weapons she needs to escape, it's much better than the pen. Discreetly, she motions over towards the coffee slowly. "I mean it!" She exclaims, hoping her voice would be heard.
Alas, little did Charlotte know that the floor was empty outside of the two assailants and herself. Likewise, the concrete ceiling of the bottom floor was too thick, restricting sound from traveling between floors. Thus, she's effectively trapped and cornered by her captors, who clearly thought this out in greater detail than expected. While they might appear to be brute airheads, their plans have no apparent flaws thus far. So, when Charlotte makes her chance at an escape, she betters make it worth the risk. Otherwise, she'll be trapped, forced to undergo whatever depraved and dubious ideas the two have in their minds.
"Look, boss, she's getting serious. Betters not take her lightly." Mr.Hemworth's partner states, continuing to mock Charlotte's efforts. He snickers after the comment, bringing a smile to his rugged face. Honestly, he looks more like a middle-aged thug rather than a businessman.
"Ah. Is that so?" Mr.Hemsworth asks rhetorically, turning his focus back towards Charlotte. "Well, guess we shouldn't drag this out any longer." He continues, slowly walking over towards the blonde from one side of the desk as his partner approaches from the opposite end, blocking off both sides.
"Shit."
Charlotte thinks, beginning to panic. She didn't expect the two to box, forcing her to change her plans. However, there's little time to react as the two assailants dressed like gentlemen get closer. With only a few seconds, adaptation is unlikely. Of course, the dashing blonde doesn't plan to go down without fighting.
"We're going to have quite a marvelous time with you. If you make it easy, I'll promise you'll like it." Mr.Hemsworth reassures the woman, which isn't worth much.
"Hah. Why even bother boss? These young sluts love it rough. Don't be mistaken by her innocent face. She's definitely no Virgin Mary and certainly won't be one we're done." Mr.Hemsworth's partner chimes in. Unlike his boss, he's somewhat impatient, already in close distance of his target. Without hesitation, he lunges forth, sending a large hand to grab onto that lovely blonde mane.
"Now!"
Charlotte thinks to herself, immediately reacting to the attack. She snatches the mug off of the desk and throws the warm coffee in the man's face, disrupting his lunge and allowing her to escape his hand. Quickly, snaps her head onto Mr.Hemsworth, chucking the mug at him. Regardless of the outcome, she dashes towards the door, hoping for the best.
