Gavin made his way out of the factory staring lustfully at the female workers as they worked.

He hit one of them in the butt and laughed. He whistled as he entered the car in high spirits.

His happiness was short-lived when he noticed something wrong with the car.

BANG!

He put his head down, thinking it was a gunshot. He soon noticed it was coming from his tire. He stepped on the brakes, but the car didn't stop. He tried it over and over again and soon lost control of the wheels.

He was scared out of his wits when he saw the car facing the roadside barriers.

The car finally stopped as it collided with the barrier, and he inevitably hit his head against the window and was immediately knocked out.

His consciousness came back, but he could not see anything. At first, he thought he was blind, but he found out something was covering his eyes. His hands and legs were also tied to a chair.

He struggled, but the rope was still as tight.

"Who are you? Get this thing off me. Damn it!"

His mouth was shut with a duct tape, making sure he didn't make any more noise. He could only whimper.

"I would not use up my strength if I were you. You will need it later"

An eerie voice said to him. He stopped struggling, but was scared shitless.

The cloth covering his face was removed. He looked around. The room was dark with only a small window and a dim light, as the source of light. From what he could see, the sun was setting.

His gaze shifted to the man who had abducted him. He was wearing a T-shirt and pants. He didn't look like a psycho at all except for his thin eyes that made him look terrifying.

He made muffled sounds. His abductor smiled.

"You are wondering why you are here?"

Gavin nodded frantically.

The man bent down till they were staring at each other in the eye.

"You should consider this an honor. You don't deserve to be tortured by me, but you messed with someone you shouldn't have"

Bells in Gavin's head rang loudly when he heard 'torture'. This man was going to torture him? He vehemently shook his head.

"You want me to release you?"

"Mmph-mmph"

"Unfortunately, I cannot"

He started to untie his legs. Immediately it was free, he tried to kick him and make a run for it, but he was faster.

"Trying to run? In your dreams"

He hit Gavin on his head with his elbow. He fell back on the chair, passed out.

He was forced to wake up a minute later, but he could not breathe. His head was dipped in the water. Due to the duct tape in his mouth, he could hardly breathe.

Just as he was about to pass out again when his head was pulled out.

"How's that for a start?" He asked with a sadistic smile on his lips. He pulled off the duct tape roughly, but before he could catch his breath, his head was dipped in again.

"Please, let me go. I beg you" Gavin burst into tears which only fuelled the abductor further.

He grabbed Gavin by the neck and hit his head against the wall. He passed out again for the third time, but the other man wasn't done.

His eyes burst open when he felt an electrify jolt in his body.

He was holding a cattle prod in one hand and a taser in the other.

"Which would you prefer?"

Gavin's body shook. His lips trembled in fear.

"Alright. I'll make it simple since you are finding it hard to make a choice. Grilled chicken or fried chicken"

Gavin could not get a word out.

"Answer me!"

"Grilled chicken"

"Good. Cattle prod it is then"

The cattle prod came in contact with his skin and he let out an agonized screamed. The pain was intense, and he could feel his muscles contacting.

The cattle prod was taken back. He groaned in pain and could not bear to stare at the burning and searing of his skin.

"That will be all for today. See you tomorrow"

He went out through a small door, leaving him in darkness.

The torture continued for the next two days. Surviving only on water, he could feel himself on the brink of death. His cloths have been stripped, leaving only his briefs, and he could hardly speak anymore.

"Time to go, old man" he said after taking a picture of him and sending it to Cedric.

He cut the rope but he could hardly stand. He dragged him out through a tunnel that led to the main road and left him there.

Many people passed by him till someone pitied him and called an ambulance.

Gavin opened his eyes and shut it again due to the light. He was in darkness for several days that he had grown accustomed to it.

"Dad. Are you awake?"

He heard a male voice and scrambled to get out of the bed. Ignoring the pain.

"Dad, it's me, Henry"

"Henry? Where am I?"

"You are in a hospital

"How long have I been here?"

"You have been unconscious for three days. Where have you been? I had the police look for you, but we got nothing. We only found your car and phone. Who did this to you?"

"Someone took me and tortured me"

"What! Who is it? Did you see his face?"

"Yes. I …. I remember"

"I'll call the police"

"No! You can't. I'm scared he'll come for me again"

Julian Reed walked to his closet, looking for something to wear.

Water dripped from his hair. He has just left the shower. His muscles rippled as he walked.

He called Cedric.

"Do you have any more orders for me?"

"None for now. Lie low. I sent you the money"

"Why did you ask me to do that?" He had been his private investigator for years, and he seldom asked him to do this kind of job. Not that he hated it.

"None of your business"

There was silence on the other end. It made Julian think he had ended the call.

"I did it for my wife"

"Wife? When did you get married? Don't tell me the lady in that footage is your wife?"

"She is"

"You got married out of the blue. How unexpected"

"Shut it. Like I said, lie low. Don't cause trouble"

"Are you worried about me?"

"Fuck off"

He hung up.

Julian chuckled and left his penthouse for a luxury cloth store.

He was about to walk in when someone bumped into him. He wasn't affected at all, but the lady fell, grazing her elbow.

He wasn't a gentleman so he only watched as she fell along with the box she was carrying, not making an attempt to help her up.

"You should look where you are going" Amy chastised.
