By the end of the day Roe had repeated her story three times. Once to the girls, once to Chris, and finally to the police. Now all they could do was sit and wait for the police to do their job.
It was late tuesday night before any of them felt like eating. Brawler called chris and jess to take jess up on her offer for dinner. Still, when they got there, not much was eaten.
Brawler stood on the back porch and smoked a cigarette, as Jess poured her a glass of wine. roe found the computer, and chris joined her in look at the fozzy forum. Bardi played with the ferrets, she had this thing with animals.
------
Late night had dragged into early morning, with no new news of Jer. Roe had fallen asleep in the extra bedroom, and brawler was taking a turn on the computer. bardi still played with one of the ferrets.

Jer thought she could see the light coming through the darkened window.. She rolled over, but was hindered by the cuffs that held her to the bed.
"sweety, you're awake!" 'Q' said as he put a tray of fruit in front of her. He kissed her on the nose. "OH, I ran into a friend of yours yesterday, I almost hit her with my car." he says, laughing.
She looked at him blankly, as he lifted the fruit to her mouth for her to eat. "Thats a good way to kill me." She said as she turned her face away from him. " I can't eat those!"
"You will!" he says, as he jerks her face back to face him. She pulls away from his grasp, knocking the mangos, orange juice and cofee to the floor and bed.
"damn!!" he yells, as he is covered by the coffee. "No more food, if you can't eat this, you starve."
"I thought you loved me." jer says with anger in her voice.
"More than any other." He says, calming down. " I can show you how much." He say, as he walks over to her. He presses her hand to a growing hardness in his pants, as the phone starts to ring. "FUCKing phone!!" he grumbes, as he goes to answer it.
Jer lets out a sigh of relief as she hears the front door open, and the car start. She was alone again, and starving. he had tied both wrists to the bed, leaving her legs free. Maybe she could grab a grape or two with her toes. Not reaching them, she started to scream..

Bardi lay on the couch, slowly waking up. Stretching, she feels what is a nose, a mouth...a face. She opens her eyes to see a smiling adam. quickly she rolls to her knees onto the floor. oh my god did i snore?? she thought as she tried to fight for composure.
"are you ok?" adam says laughing.
bardi puts a hand to her face and blushes. brawler comes in with a plate of bacon and laughs at the expression on bardi's face.
"Are you feeling ok bardi? You look like you are going to pass out." brawler says laughing.
Bardi sits back on the couch, unsure if she would even be able to walk. "what time is it? bardi asks, as she runs a hand through her hair. She couldn't look at adam.
"she's eating bacon." adam tells bardi.
"it doesn't matter, she eats it any time of day." bardi says laughing.
The phone rings, and chris answers on the second ring. roe appears in the room with towel wrapped hair.
Chris sits the phone back in the craddle and sits in the recliner heavily. "Nothing." He says, as he pulls his hair back into a pony tail. " i really feel like this is my fault."
"it's not your fault. It's just that some of us get a little too trusting sometimes." bardi says, as she snags a piece of bacon off of brawler's plate. "I just hope we can get her back safely. And none of us are going home until we do."
"right!" says roe, as she sits next to bardi.
"Lets just hope we can find her alive." Chris says, as he picks up the magazine that roe found in the car.

'q' had come home for lunch, and tied her to a chair so he could change the rancid sheets.
"these ropes are cutting me!" jer complained.
"if you wouldn't struggle against them, your wrists wouldn't get so raw." 'q' says, as he fits the sheets on teh bed. " there, nice pink fresh sheets, just for you babydoll." he says, stepping back to admire his work.
"swell! i don't want to lay back in that bed." she says, starting to plead with him.
he unties her silently and pushes her face first onto the bed. he ties her wrists back to the posts, and sits next to her.
"i can't breath this way!" jer says, as she puts her face to the side, looking away from him.
he kisses her back, and she starts to squirm.."You're so soft" he says, as he runs a finger down her back. Jer starts to cry. " can't you just love me?" he asks, as he kisses her back.
"not like this..." she says, as her hands turn into fists.
She could hear his belt slip thorugh the loops of his pants, his zipper unzip, and then no sound at all.
