The first time Isa awoke she found herself in a small room, the ticking of a clock rousing her from her sleeping, her eyes blinking open rapidly as her mind attempted to catch up to the events of the day. Confusion settling into place as she felt the surging pain in her skull. What the hell had she done to her head and where was she, as soon as she thought about it. Memories began to resurface and supply her with a picture of the current nightmare she had found herself entangled in. Of the package which she had received and the encounter with Matthew in the back of the car. The sound of the of clock drew her attention to it as it continued to move forward, no way to pause it or reverse the events of the day. Each tick dragging her forward, helpless and vulnerable to what was to come next. Isa could feel her heart pounding against the cage of her chest, as dread settled within her, an invisible demon sitting heavy upon her shoulder.<br/><br/>As sweat began to form on her forehead and her face pale, her hands beginning to tremor in their restraints. Panic was overtaking her form, as she tugged at the rope holding her hands behind her back fruitlessly. Whoever had tied her up had been careful not to leave any chance of her escape, her feet were also tied together and her back was against a wall. There was a piece of cloth in her mouth stopping her from making any real kind of noise not that she had really tired she knew there was no chance someone would hear and run to help her. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed and as she looked around the room there were no windows to give her any kind of indication of the time outside. It felt like she had been sat their hands attempting to wiggle free from the rope before she heard the sound of voices, a few moments later the door opened and Matthew entered along with a person she had hoped never to see again Ramone.<br/><br/>By this time, Isa had managed to loosen the rope which was on her wrists to the point she might be able to free herself. Ramone grinned as he took in Isa’s form, stepping forward dressed in a black suit. He stepped towards her and crouched down as he reached a hand out to grasp Isa’s hair in his hand as he pulled it sharply forcing Isa to tilt her head back and bite down on her bottom lip. Ramone smiled as he leaned towards her even as she attempted to pull away from him, his other hand moving to grasp her chin with his other hand.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"> “Ah, Isa, beautiful as always. You’ve taken me on quite the run around looking for you. But no worries, Matthew here was more than willing to deliver you into my hands for the right incentive.”</span>Ramone grinned as she leaned forward and placed a kiss on Isa’s cheek as she attempted to pull back but it only created a wave of pain in her head as his hold pulled her hair against her scalp.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"> “Now, now don’t be like that, my sweet. I promise to take real good care of you”</span>a grin coming to his lips, “<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000">However we need to move you. Your current employer seems to be looking for you so I think it's best to get you out of the city so we can have some fun without any distractions.”</span><br/><br/>With that Ramone glanced towards the door<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000">“Take her”</span>at his words two large males entered dressed in dark blue suits, together they moved towards her and picked her up like a bag of potatoes as she wiggled and attempted to get free their hold only seemed to tighten. Isa went still attempting to lure them into a false sense of security as they carried her from the room and through a lavish home before exiting into a garage where a van waited. Ramone and Matthew were nowhere to be found at this point so she took her chance as they moved to place her down in the back of the van she pulled her hands-free and grabbed at the gun which was on one of the males as she pulled it up and aimed at him before firing. Within seconds two bodies lay on the floor of the garage, she knew that the noise would draw attention as she quickly grabbed at the rope on her ankles as she moved to the front of the van hoping that the keys would be found inside. Panic and adrenaline pushing her forwards at this point, finally the rope on her legs came free and slipped into the seat as she frantically searched for the keys. A rush of joy as she found them and went to place them into the ignition however her hands were sweating and she dropped them, silently cursing herself she ducked down and as she once more sat up she was greeted with a gun to her forehead. She glanced towards the pistol she had hurriedly placed on the passenger seat but didn’t dare reach for it. Ramone glared at her as his nose flared in unconcealed fury<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000">“Isabelle. Look what you went and done.</span>” With that he reached out a hand and settled it around her throat as he proceeded to choke her, her hands went to his frantically attempting to escape until she was once more dragged into darkness.<br/><br/>Pain radiated from her throat as Isa began to come to once more, her hand went to reach up towards her throat but pause at the pain in her wrists, wire cutting painfully into the flesh, bleeding lightly over her hands making them sticky. Her vision still blurry as she attempted to focus upon the new location  She groaned softly as she forced herself to open her eyes as she glanced around, she found herself in an empty barn, straw littered the floor around her. It was dark, the only light coming from the slits in the wooden boards which made up the sides of the barn.<br/><br/>Her hands tugged against the restraints as she attempted to free herself, but the rope which was looped around her wrists was tight and it seemed to only rub her skin raw. She felt the panic beginning to rise through her as she glanced around and found no signs of how to get out of her current predicament. She paused and made herself focus on staying calm, however, a few moments later the sound of footsteps and raised voices drew her eyes towards the large double doors. Isa tugged once more at the restraints but the pain makes her stop as she lets out a hiss at the torment of the movement, the noise seems to draw attention to her as she sees movement from the corner of her eye. Two shadowy figures she hadn’t noted until they moved take a step forwards within the darkness. She watches as one raises a hand and takes out a phone before pressing a single button and holding it to his ear, only took words spoken “She's awake” before it was slid back into its place.<br/><br/>A few moments later the sound of footsteps approached as the barn door opened with a soft creak and Ramone once more entered, two men flanking him this time as he moved towards her form tied to the chair in the center of the room. The lights flicked on, a large bulb centered in the room above her, highlighted her form and left those who lingered around the edges faceless and undisguisable. He smirked at her before moving closer to her bound form as she wiggled and struggled in the chair, Ramone reached up and pulled the gag from her mouth as she gasped as she took a moment to gather herself, her mouth dry. Pain radiating across her face as the back of Ramone’s hand impacted against her cheek, once then twice as she felt blood pool in her mouth as her teeth bit down hard on her tongue as her head jerked from one side then the other.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"> “That was punishment for the death of my two men. Now we’ll move on to punishment for what you did with Tank. After that, I might have some fun with you in other ways. See if fucking you really is worth as much as Tank was willing to risk to protect you huh ?”</span>His hand moving to her breast through the tank top as he groped her. Isa glanced towards him and spit blood in his direction as it landed on his shoes<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#cc99ff">“Fuck you. Asshole” </span>Ramone let out a loud chuckle as he moved back and took out a switchblade, flicking it open. “Let's have some fun huh ?” a smile curling over his features as he approached her.
