Cassie looked at both men, first the one that held Toni captive, then the one that had her. There was no way sje would be the cause of any pain for her friend. Cassie dropped her hands as tears rolled down her cheeks. It was the first time she showed emotion all day. She looked at her captor and pointed to the tape, hoping he would take it off so she could speak. She wouldn't plead for her life or Toni's, she only wanted to speak to him, if only for a second. Cassie waited to see if he would grant her request, or keep her silent while he tortured her.
