In the back of the van, she looked around but saw nothing. Holding the hands of two of her husbands cousins, she silently wished she was back in the community center where this all began.
Maritza was short in stature and very curvy. Her long curly black hair was neatly pulled into a bun, as she always wore it. Maritza was a person who liked to be put together and in control, something she no longer felt. As she sat with her legs crossed on the floor of the van she though about how this all began.
------------------------
It all started at a family reunion. Maritza was talking with two of her husband's younger male cousins. Justin had just turned 21, which was the reason for their conversation. He was a handsome young man, 6'2", 200 lbs, light-skinned, and beautiful hazel eyes. Maritza remembered when he was just an overactive little boy that she babysat on the weekends. Bryant was also very handsome, but for very different reasons. Bryant was 23 and stood at 5'10", 170 lbs and very muscular. He was a little darker in complexion and had very neat, long dreads. He had deep brown eyes and a smile that would melt any women's heart.
The two young men talked to their cousin-in-law about the birthday plans they had for the younger cousin. They couldn't help but admire 32-year-old Maritza's beauty. She was only 5'2" and weighed 170 lbs, but her weight was in all the right places. She had a plump and juicy bottom, small waist, and average sized breast. They were trying to convince her to come out with them so they could have an excuse to dance close to her when the lights went out.
In the darkness they heard men yelling for everyone to stay still and quietly remove their jewelry. Maritza quickly grabbed Bryant's arm as she trembled in fear. The men went around the room grabbing whatever they could from the scared patrons at the community center. When they got to the trio, one man said "don't take off of your jewelry beautiful, we're gonna take all of you instead."
"No please, here take my rings, my watch...I even have money if you want. Cash....um about $200...please..."
Bryant and Justin also began protesting almost in unison. One assailant came from the back of the room and said, "Just take them all...we have a schedule fella's."
Now staring down the barrel of some type of rifle, and with another one pointed at their backs, the trio was led to a dark colored van with heavily tinted windows.
-------------
The drive was long and dark. The group did little talking as they tried to figure out where they were going. Martiza figured they were somewhere in the country because she didn't hear many other cars passing on the road, then the ride got really bumpy. Martiza guessed they were driving down a dirt road. The van came to a stop and the side door flew open.
There was a lot of yelling and crying as the group was directed into the basement of a house. Once inside, the door was locked and they were left to figure out what to do and what would happen to them.
The room was dimly lit. They could see an old couch and a bed. There was a bathroom that sat off next to some washing machines. "What are we going to do?" Maritza sobbed as she sat down on the couch.
Bryant quickly sat next to her and put his arms around her, "we will get through this. We're gonna get out of here."
"Yea," Justin agreed, trying to sound as optimistic as he could. "We will get out of here and we will be ok."
The truth was not one of them knew what was going to happen next.
After a few hours, they heard the door unlock and two men came down the stairs. They were wearing mask and dark clothing and carrying boxes of stuff. After they set their boxes down on the washer's, they handed Maritza what looked like a rag and told her to go to the bathroom to put it on. They mumbled something about a surprise and said it was going to be good.
In the dark and dirty bathroom, Maritza looked at the garment, which was what seemed to be a see-through nightgown. As she stripped her clothing she began to cry. She didn't want anyone but her husband to see her in anything like this, and she had never tried anything like this for him. She didn't want her in-laws to look at her. There was a bang on the door, which made her jump.
"Take EVERYTHING off!"
While Maritza was changing the men were setting up lighting and video cameras in the basement. They told Justin and Bryant to strip to their boxers. Bryant's protest was met with a pistol pointed at his face. "All right, all right. We'll do it, just calm down man!" Justin exclaimed as he began removing his sneakers. Bryant followed suit, though at a much slower pace and with the look of anger in his face.
There was another bang on the bathroom door letting Maritza know that her time was up. She looked into the dingy mirror and wiped the tears from her eyes with her shirt and said "whatever happens, be strong for those two young men in there."
She opened the door and walked out with her eyes glued to her feet. She didn't see that everyone's mouths had dropped open as she walked into the newly lit room. She still had her hair neatly pulled into a bun when one of the men slapped her backside and said "take that out of your hair." Slowly, Maritza undid her bun as the men watched as her long curly black hair fell free and landed on her shoulders and down her back.
She was quickly directed to walk to were her cousins were standing and noticed they couldn't help but stare at her almost naked body. She tried to hide herself from them but it was no use. Despite their situation, she noticed both of them showed signs of a reaction in their groins, clearly visible through their boxers.
The men's voices, first inaudiable to Maritza, started fading back into something she could understand. They yelled at her, "you guys are going to make us a lot of money...I don't want to have to keep directing you...I SAID START KISSING." Maritza had been zoning in and out and was quickly jolted into action when the man started yelling.
She kissed Bryant on the cheek before looking him in the eyes. As she fought back the sobs, she whispered to Bryant that it would be ok and not to worry. She closed her eyes and quickly moved in for a sloppy and hard kiss on the mouth. She cut the kiss short, glared at the men before turning to Justin and saying the same thing. This time, he kissed her. It was a gentler kiss as if to reassure her that it was ok.
