Basement Bride (ON REALLY LONG HOLD)

Basement Bride - Chapter 2

Tommy mumbled something about taking Robby's offer up. The mention of Robby had made her blood run cold. He was an old high-school friend of Tommy's. He'd been a drug dealer since he was fourteen and recently, he'd gotten into shipping prostitutes from country. She didn't speak another word  for the whole car journey.

"Please' she'd whispered. "Don't do this"

And just for a moment, she'd thought she'd seen a glimpse of remorse in his eyes, a glint of pity. 

And then it was gone, and he'd pushed her in and locked the door and then crying and bawling and howling then turned to snivelling and sniffing, and then darkness creeped across the sky through the barred up windows. Then, black...
