The doors swing open and I hear yelling. One person walks up to me and takes off my blindfold.
A man in a yellow suit crouched down on his heels and looked at me with a perplexed expression.
"Why the hell are you soaking wet?"
He lifts the wet part of my dress and sniffs it.
"Dude, this smells like dog piss."
The person standing outside started to laugh.
"Maybe she pissed herself."
My man looked at me once again.
"We can't have you covered in piss for the auction, let me help you change."
Did the man just say that I was covered in pee? So that would mean… Zeri relieved herself on me earlier while I was trying to get the blindfold off. She did give me a warning but I didn't expect her to do it.
I was disappointed but I wasn't angry at her. But now that I knew that it was pee the smell became more unpleasantly foul. The warmth I felt earlier from it was turned into a cold repugnant feeling.
I tried to push myself out of the puddle, but the man grabbed me by the collar and pulled me up.
"C'mon, we have clothes in the back."
He undid the first button on my dress. Revealing a little bit of cleavage. His lascivious smile spread over his face.
His partner sensing his salacious intent, wanted to get into the raunchy moves his partner was planning to execute. He unbuttons the second button, revealing even more of my body.
I squirm around trying to shake him off. But my hands were completely tied and I was defenseless against his hands.
Looking over, I saw Zeri holding the gun against the man and pulling the trigger. But the gun didn't fire. It hadn't been cocked yet but Zeri tried repeatedly to pull the trigger to no avail.
An erotic smell emanated from the man, it was a foul scent that pierced through my nose. He didn't stop harassing me and his buddy was walking towards me.
Hurry up Zeri, please help me.
"Cock it!" I outbursted.
Zeri looked at the gun and tried to make use of the words I just yelled out.
The men on the other hand thought of it as a gesture to move in and violate me. Then, we hear a click sound. Zeri had cocked the gun that Devina gave her and pulled the trigger.
It hit the first man and he fell asleep, the other man rushed towards her but she shot again and he got knocked unconscious. The men were now heavily snoring and dead asleep in the puddle.
"That was a close one."
I looked at Zeri with fury in my eyes.
"You. Better. Untie. Me. Now."
She approached me with slow steps and asked me not to hurt her or punish her if she let me go.
"Can't promise you that but untie this rope immediately."
Hesitation was written all over her body language, she didn't want to do it because she was embarrassed and scared. Embarrassed that she had too much to drink when we were out with Devina and wet herself during an important mission. She is now also scared that I would punish her for letting those men do all that to me and peeing on me.
"Jeez."
Zeri stood me up and cut the rope with a metallic object. I gave her the eyes of a disappointed parent and stared right into her soul before buttoning up my dress.
"What do we do with these people?" Zeri asked.
"Let's just leave them here, I don't want to see them or this place again."
Zeri and I walked down the corridor which was filled with holding cells. There were cages and uninhabited rooms. The place seems dilapidated and void of any life.
The place was dimly lit with scones on the wall and the temperature was mildly cold.
Zeri complained about getting goosebumps from the cold but we continued down until we had found a storage room. The place was filled with old clothing and equipment that were neatly placed in piles.
Zeri picked up a dress and new pants and asked if I wanted to wear them. I declined her offer but said I would look if there was anything else.
Scrutinizing the heaps of clothing, I found something that I liked. My clothes were still drenched so I had to change. But isn't this considered stealing? But they kidnapped me right? This isn't their stuff. If they stole this from another person and now I stole this, wouldn't it make me a bad person?
"Hey Marlowlia! Does this look good on me?"
Zeri had replaced her old clothing with a more glamorous look. It was shorts that were super short, showing most of her legs up to her thighs. Then she found an old sweater with red and white stripes. She also found a white beanie that she placed proudly around her head.
"This fits me perfectly!"
She looked puzzled at me.
"Aren't you gonna change?"
"If these are stolen clothes, does it make us bad people if we take them?"
"Marlowlia, it isn't time to think like that, we have a mission, you gonna freeze to death with my… never mind, just change!"
I looked hesitant at the clothes but decided just to cast away my thoughts for the time being.
My hoodie and long jeans provided a lot of warmth and comfort. But I couldn't shake off the feeling of stealing clothes. I didn't want to, but I had no choice.
Just as I was done putting my old clothes into a corner we heard multiple gunshots coming from the corridors.
I looked at Zeri and she looked at me. We both were terrified of what it was and just decided to wait it out.
