Chapter 7
Retribution
It had been over three weeks since I had stolen Cindy and they were the happiest weeks of my life. We were connected on so many levels that it honestly scared me and I was thinking about it as I left for a meeting.
I still had a couple of meetings left to finish the sale of one of my companies. I had made a decision that everything, all 50 million, from this sale would be set aside for Cindy. Of course, she didn't know any of this. My friends cautioned me to take it slow with Cindy. They were wealthy as well and were used to people trying to take advantage of them and ride the gravy train.
What they didn't know was that Cindy never asks me for anything. All she wanted was my love, and she didn't even ask for that. She just gave herself to me completely, unequivocally, and without reservations. I've never had anything like that complete and selfless love in my life and I would give away my entire fortune to keep it. If anything should ever happen to me, I would make sure my Pet was well taken care of. I still had three other companies so I wouldn't be hurting.
I was 10 minutes away from the hotel when I realized that I had forgotten my briefcase with some contracts in it. So I called my lawyer and told him that I had to drive back for the papers and I would be a few minutes late. On my way back, I called my security team to see if they had made any progress on finding any of the people on Cindy's list. Several were dead already, no surprise there, and two were in jail, but most of the crew from the float were still out there.
As I drove around the hotel towards the parking deck, I noticed an odd-looking laundry van with the magnetic sign on the side a little lopsided, but the guy who was carrying a large laundry bag was the scum from the float that had beaten Cindy. Since I was still on the phone with my security head, I told him what I had just seen and that I was going to follow the van.
I pulled my car over to the curb and waited for the van to pull out. As it did, I stayed about a block and a half behind the van so he wouldn't know he was being followed. He pulled into a garage about ten minutes later and I parked by a nearby curb. This was not a laundry, but what looked like an abandoned automobile garage. I recognized one of the other guys from the float walking around the building while the first guy went to retrieve the laundry bag.
I noticed that the bag shifted a weird way when he picked it up and as he carried it towards the garage, I saw it wiggle and move on its own. The hair on the back of my head stood up and a frightening chill shivered down my back. I quickly called my security manager and told him to check on Cindy and make sure she was there in my room. He said he was doing that, but hadn't been able to find her whereabouts. I told him that I thought they had her and I was going in.
He started yelling for me to stop but I had already pulled my handgun from the glove box and was looking for the best access to the garage. I needed to get there fast, but if they saw me they just might kill her quickly. I knew these guys wanted to teach her and me a lesson first, so they were going to take their time. "Oh my Cindy, oh my baby please be okay," I prayed.
When I saw an opening, I ran to the house next door to the garage and ran around back. It's then that I heard a crack of a whip then Cindy scream and I knew that they had my love and my life. They were torturing her in some way, I had to hurry and I knew from the cars parked around that there were at least three of them, maybe more. Cindy screamed again and I heard her shriek, "MASTER SAVE ME!" Then they all started laughing and I heard the crack of a whip several times. At that sound, I felt my heart breaking, and when I heard the whip crack and her scream again, all reason left me. I charged through the door and burst into the room.
My rage was completely out of control and I started shooting every guy in front of me. Three went down with within a couple of seconds. Then, something spun me around and I saw the guy with the baseball bat getting ready for another swing. I shot him and then I turned back towards Cindy and my heart broke.
Cindy was unconscious and hanging naked from a car lift. Her hands had been shackled above the fork of the lift and her feet were about a foot off the ground. She was hanging limp, with multiple whip marks crossing across her breasts, belly and hips. Blood from the whip and some other cuts were running down her front and creating a small pool beneath her feet. I fell to my knees in agony at what they had done to the only person I have ever truly loved. As I went down, the air moved where my head used to be.
I tucked and rolled away and came up in a shooter's stance with my gun pointed where I thought he was. But he had moved and was running to get cover behind Cindy. He grabbed her before I could get a shot and he held a long knife to her throat. It was the same guy that beat Cindy on the float, the leader of this pack.
"You should have let me finish. She would have been much prettier after I cut off her boobs, carved through her cunt, and signed my initials in her belly," he taunted at me.
Just then, Cindy groaned and my heart leapt as I realized that she was alive. Obviously the jackass in front of me thought I was some idiot with a gun. He didn't know I was a highly ranked combat marksman. His stance left several parts open for shots, so I took out his right knee and he collapsed away from Cindy. Then, I followed up with a shot to his other knee so he wouldn't move. While he was writhing on the floor, I ran over to Cindy, picked her up and slid her hands off the fork on the lift.
I hugged her in my arms and whispered, "Please be alive my love, please be okay."
Her head stirred and she mumbled, "Master?"
"Yes baby, I'm here to take you home." I sobbed into her hair.
"Master, you heard me ... you saved me. Oh my Master, I hurt all over. "
She put her bound hands over my head, snuggled her head into the crook of my neck, landing soft kisses on my neck. She whispered hoarsely, "Thank you for saving your slave, Master."
"I'm so glad I found you, I will never let them touch you again," I whispered back into her ear.
I started carrying her to the car, but before I did, I stopped over near the writhing scum that tortured my girl and said, "I wish I had the time to really make you suffer, but I don't, Cindy is important and you're not."
Then, I carried my naked, bloody Cindy back to the car. I set her on the passenger seat and called my security manager.
"I need a cleanup crew at the garage, there are five in the garage and I want all of these idiots in the lake or Gulf by noon. Which hospital does that dermatologist Cindy goes to work at? I need him and a team of trauma doctors at that hospital now. Oh, and her security team is fired."
