After several days of watching over the sleeping woman he began to grow bored and complacent. She had been roughly removed from the vehicle upon their arrival in front of a rundown apartment building. The male had watched as two towering individuals in matching black suits, placed her limp body over their shoulders, and carried her past the side of the building toward an unused cellar.
One of the men, lifted his steel-toed boot through the rusted iron door handle, and pulled the waterlogged wooden slat in two. Dust and the rotten smell of mildew greeted the three men causing the youngest one to turn around and almost loose his own lunch.
After several minutes of listening to the poor guy dry heave the man closest turns toward him and asks,
"Is this really where they wanted her kept William?"
The young man, William, nods his head but refuses to watch as they head into the mildew infested cellar. By now a soft whimpering sound can be heard from the beautiful woman hanging limp across his friend's broad shoulders. A split second of remorse crashes down onto his consciousness, as an old iron door is pushed open, revealing several malnourished and dirty young women just like her.
The three males glare daggers at the frightened ladies before discarding their newest arrival onto cold dirty concrete. Suddenly one of the tiniest girls tried running for the open entryway only to be met with an unnaturally strong backhand. She went flailing across the claustrophobically damp chamber.
William sighed brushing a calloused hand through his close chopped black hair before muttering,
"Oh my dear dear sweet Levi, why'd you go and do that?"
A small whimper escaped the busted lips of a once beautiful Latina woman. Her dark stormy grey eyes illuminated with fear and desperation as she frantically climbed to her feet. She started muttering incoherently as his patience began to wear dangerously thin.
He turned toward the frightened woman like a wolf tracking a lone sheep; his dark beady black eyes glared daggers as he lifted up the newest catch. His voice became laced with malice as his eyes never left her frightened face,
"You will watch out for her. If she slips up once, it falls back on you. Don't let it happen again."
His words were met with almost feverously rapid nods from several heads. William turned back toward the iron entryway after flashing a devilish grin at the women. This would only go one way he was bound to make sure of that.
