Chapter Twelve
Getting Out
After finishing dinner, Nina calls for more champagne. She
wants to make sure he is tipsy. Alcohol loosens inhibitions as well as tongues.
And she wants to loosen both. She also orders some dessert. Within minutes, a
knock on the door brings a man with another bottle of expensive champagne and
two orders of strawberries in fancy bowls with extra whipped cream on top. The
man places the tray on the table and heads out. Nina takes a strawberry out and
dips it in the whipped cream. She then seductively licks the cream off the
strawberry. She then sucks on the strawberry, taking her tongue and working it
around it. Jack is captivated by the display, not being able to look away. She
is loving it as this feeling of power is what drives her. That and the money and
perks that come with the job. Nina knows that she is nothing but an expensive
call girl, but at least she is in charge. If she went and married some rich guy,
she would be doing the same thing. Only he would be in charge. This way, she
gets to live a life of luxury and she doesn't have some man telling her what to
do. She knows how to control a man and she can make them do what she wants.
Finishing off the strawberry, Nina gestures for Jack to join
her. In a sexy, bedroom voice, she says "Come on over here and have some
dessert." While she is holding a strawberry for him, they both know what she
means. He rises from his seat and sits down next to her. She takes the
strawberry and slowly and seductively feeds it to him. She then takes her finger
and runs it through the whipped cream and takes it and slips it in his mouth.
"Do you have a sweet tooth?" she purrs to him. She then gets another finger of
whipped cream and makes a trail between her breasts. "Come have some more." she
says to him with a wicked smile and bedroom eyes that make his knees wobbly. He
moves his head over to lick the cream as she grabs the back of his head and
pushes it against her chest. As he laps up the cream, she runs her fingers
through his hair. "Oooh yes, that feels so good." she purrs as he continues to
lick her breasts, even though all the whipped cream is gone. As the passion
overcomes him, he brings up his hands and starts pulling her dress aside,
exposing her breasts. She quickly grabs his hands and stops him. "Hey, be
careful with the dress. It is very expensive." she says as pulls his hands away
and checks for rips. Jack gets up and moves over to the other side of the table.
"You know how to ruin a mood." Realizing that she is losing her power, she
switches the charm back on. "We don't need to rush things, we have all night.
Why don't you take the champagne into the bedroom and fill our glasses while I
slip into something more comfortable." She winks at him and smiles. He smiles
back as he grabs the bottle and the two glasses and heads to the bedroom. As he
walks in, she looks in and says "Now no peeking while I get changed." With that,
she shuts the door and goes over and turns on the stereo. She pulls out a CD and
put it in. The CD is full of love songs to set the mood.
Jack moves over to the bed and sits down. He is amazed at how
comfortable it is. He runs his hands over the satin sheets. The mere touch of
them is enough to set the mood. He then puts the two glasses on the night stand
and begins to fill them with champagne. With both glasses side by side, he fills
them equally. When Nina was pouring the glasses, he made a note how hers was
always half full and his was completely full. But this time, he made theirs
equal. Not that she will drink it, but he has to try.
Nina quickly pulls out her phone and calls the head of
security. "I have him in the other room. I only have a few minutes." She then
heads over to his bags and opens it up. "Holy shit! He must have a hundred grand
or more in here." She takes the money out and looks under it. "No, I don't see
anything else. Just money and lots of it. This guy must be taking every casino
in the city for a ride." She looks in his bag and finds more money and some
clothes. "I would run a check on this guy with the other casinos. He is
obviously a pro. Don't worry, I will find out how he is doing it."
What Nina doesn't know is Jack is reading her mind. He knew
what she was up to, but knowing she is going through his bags is too much. When
he was on the streets, the one thing that drove him mad was if people went
through his stuff. He didn't have much, but it was his. As Nina hangs up the
phone, she starts putting the money back in his bag. He suddenly opens the door,
which shocks her. She has no time to do anything as she is caught red handed. "I
said no peeking." she says as she tries to get up. "What are you doing going
through my stuff?" he yells at her. She tries to think of something to say but
there is no way to deny it. She quickly tries to think of something. "I was
seeing if you had any protection. You know condoms." He glares at her and then
uses his mind to lift her up. She struggles to get free but finds that her arms
are pinned to her side. Her body is moved close to Jack, hovering a few inches
from the ground. He looks her right in the eye and says "Did you think you could
just steal my money?" A look of terror is on her face as she realizes for the
first time in her life, she has no control of the situation. "I wasn't stealing
your money, honest." He looks at her and says in a dark, sinister voice "Don't
lie to me, I can read your mind if I choose. Now tell me what you were looking
for?" She struggles to break free, but to no avail. She kicks her feet, hoping
to reach him, but finds she can only move them so far. "I was hired to find out
how you were winning. They suspected you of cheating and wanted to figure out
how." Tears are starting to flow down her face. She is really scared and really
does not know what to do. She wishes they allowed cameras in the hotel rooms, so
someone would see what was happening. If her hands weren't pinned, maybe she
could reach her phone and call for help. Jack then sets her down on the ground
and says "I think you know how I cheat now. But if you want to leave here, you
are going to finish what you started." She looks at him with a shocked look and
says "What do you mean?" He looks at her with a wicked smile and says "You are
going to satisfy my every desire." He then uses his mind to rip the dress off
her. She shrieks as the dress is literally ripped in two and drops to the
ground. She stands there, trying to cover herself up. All that is left is some
lacy undergarments as she tries to use her hands to cover up her private areas.
"And what if I refuse? Are you going to rape me?" Jack laughs out loud. "No, I
will fry your mind and turn you into a vegetable." A chill goes down her spine
as she thinks about it. Is he bluffing? The flight across the room and the torn
dress are proof enough that he has mind powers. Realizing that the only way out
of this is to give him what he wants. And it is not anything she wasn't planning
on doing anyway, if she had to. Swallowing hard, she looks up at him and says "I
will do what you want." He smiles at her and says "Good girl, if everything goes
well, I will let you go unharmed."
That night, Nina makes love like she never has before. She
follows every command to the letter and does anything he wants. For one night,
Jack is treated to a night of passion that he has never known before. And Nina
finds herself in a position that she has never been in. For once, she is not in
control and it scares her. Knowing your life can depend on how well you perform
is a feeling of danger that she is not accustomed to. But it is also one that
she hopes to never feel again.
After Jack is finished with her, he rises and gets dressed.
Nina rolls over in the bed, with the sheet covering her. "How was it?" she asks
in a fearful voice. He continues to button his shirt as he answers "I will spare
you, if that is what you want to know." He then turns and looks right at her and
then speaks directly to her mind. She hears a voice in her head that sends
chills down her spine. "Tell them you found out nothing. I am just lucky. If you
tell them anything else, I will return and next time you will not have a chance
to save yourself." As soon as he stops sending a mental message to her, she
falls back. Tears roll down her face as she is completely scared. She just nods
as she breaks down sobbing. He then finishes dressing and grabs his bags and
heads out the door.
As soon as he leaves, two men come out of their hiding. "He
is on the move." one of them says into a walkie talkie. As Jack gets on the
elevator, they knock on the door. They hear nothing. They knock again, hoping
she will answer. "We are knocking but getting no response. Have the subject
apprehended." he says in the walkie talkie. He then pulls out a keycard and
swipes it. The door opens up and then go in. "Nina, are you all right?" he says
as he looks for her. They rush into the bedroom to find her laying on the bed,
sobbing away. "Are you all right?" he says as he touches her shoulder. She is
laying there with only a sheet wrapped around her. She turns to look at him and
says "I'm fine, please leave me alone." The man tries to comfort her, but is
unsure what to do. The other one gets on his walkie and says "Nina is fine, but
she is crying." A voice comes through the walkie "Nina is crying? What did he do
to her?" Hearing that, she quickly looks at the man and shouts "Nothing
happened. I am fine, just leave me alone." The two men look at her with the
angered look in her eyes and the tears rolling down her cheeks and are unsure
what to do. Nina then turns and grabs a pillow. She stands up, forgetting she is
naked and throws the pillow at them. Both men stop and stare at her nakedness,
not noticing the pillow that flies past them. Realizing why they are frozen, she
looks down and grabs the sheet and covers herself back up. With the sheet firmly
around her, she rushes over and pushes them out the door. She then slams the
bedroom door closed behind them and locks it. Without them there, she falls back
onto the bed and begins sobbing again.
As soon as the elevator door opens, Jack is greeted by three
men in suits. They block the door and force their way back in. "We are going for
a little ride." one of the men says as he reaches over to hit the close door
button. "And what if I don't want to go for a ride?" Jack says as he glares at
him. "This is not a request." he says as the door closes. "Would you mind
telling us what you have in those bags?" one of the other men asks. "Dirty
laundry." Jack says with a sarcastic tone. "Would you be so kind to show us." he
replies. "On what grounds do you have to search me?" Jack says as he clutches
his bags tight. "We are the hotel security and we have our reasons." he says as
he pulls out and shows his badge. "You will see them over my dead body." Jack
says as he takes a step back. "If you cooperate with us, nobody will get hurt."
he says as he puts his badge away. "But I like when people get hurt." Jack says
with a wicked smile. The numbers on the elevator keep going up, when they
suddenly stop. The men look at each other as they wonder who stopped the
elevator. "I am going to ask you one more time, open the bags." Jack smiles a
big smile as he says "Go to hell." One of the guys goes to throw a punch at
Jack. But before it can hit him, Jack halts his hand with his mind. The guy is
shocked as he cannot move his hand. It is literally stopped in place. "Now it's
my turn." Jack says as he mentally slams the guy against the side of the
elevator. He hits with a loud thud as the collision knocks the wind out of him.
He falls to the floor of the elevator. The other two look at him in shock.
Before they can do anything, Jack lifts both of them up and slams them into the
top of the elevator. He then releases them, letting them fall down to the floor
of the elevator, knocking both of them out. Smiling, he walks over to the one
guy who just had the wind knocked out of him. Grabbing him by the face, he pulls
him in close and looks right into his eyes. "Next time you mess with me, I will
throw you off a building." He then slams his head into the wall and knocks him
out. Laughing, he sends the elevator back down to the first floor.
The elevator doors open and he is greeting by the crowds of
people moving through the casino. A couple quickly enter the elevator as Jack is
leaving. They do not see any bodies as he quickly stuck them on the roof of the
elevator. A quick look right and left reveals no other threats. Relieved, he
heads into the crowd and towards the front doors. He is expecting some
resistance, especially after the incident in the elevator, but so far it is
smooth sailing. As he heads out the front door, he breaths a sigh of relief. He
hails a cab and quickly heads towards the bus station. The faster he is away
from the casino, the better. The cab pulls away from the curb and heads down the
street. Jack looks back to make sure he is not being followed. When he is sure
that he is free, lets out a "Yeah!" as he pumps his fist. "I guess you had some
luck at the casino." the cabbie says as looks back in the rear view mirror. "Yes
I did." he says as he opens his duffel bags and looks at all the cash. He then
looks up at the cabbie and says "Let's just say that I won't be eating Mac and
cheese tonight."
The head of hotel security and a good friend of Nina's,
Dante, walks into her room and knocks on the bedroom door. There is no answer.
He knocks again and hears Nina scream out "I said leave me the hell alone." He
pauses for a moment as he has never heard her this angry. There has been times
when she was pissed because one of her clients wanted something really kinky or
tried to get rough with her. But she always was able to hold her own. She even
has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so she knows how to defend herself. This takes
him by surprise as something really bad must have happened. "Nina, it's Dante,
let me in." He waits for a minute as he hears some movement. From his discussion
with the other men, she must be getting dressed. The door then unlocks and Nina
opens it. When she sees him, she grabs him with both hands and hugs him tight.
To tight in fact that it takes his breath away. "It was awful." she says as she
squeezes him like she is trying to crush his bones. He pulls her back a little
and tries to look at her face. "How bad did he hurt you? Do want to go to the
hospital?" Wiping the tears from her eyes, she looks up at him, with mascara
running down her face and says "He didn't hurt me physically. He made me have
sex with him, but nothing I am not used to." Probing her eyes, he tries to see
if he can figure out what is bothering her. "Then what was so bad, did he force
you to do something you didn't want?" She shakes her head no as she tries to
stop crying. "He violated my mind. He was able to talk to me directly through my
thoughts." Now he is completely confused. "I don't understand. Was he playing
mind games with you?" She breaks the embrace as she looks at him and says "I
don't know how to explain it. He was able to go into my mind and threaten me. He
could read my thoughts. I don't know if it was some kind of trick or what, but
he scared the hell out me. It was horrible." She starts crying again. "You don't
have to worry, he is gone now. He left the casino." She then goes over and sits
on the bed. "Did anyone try to stop him?" He walks over and sits down next to
him. "Yeah, we sent three guys, but he took them out with ease. So we decided it
was best to let him walk. We have his picture and will make sure to share it
with the other casinos. We will make sure he does not come back here." She looks
up at him and asks "How? How can you do that? He can move things with his mind.
He lifted me like I was a rag doll. He told me he would fry my brain if I told
anyone. I am scared. Really scared." She then breaks down again. Pulling her
close, he tries best to comfort her and make her feel safe again.
A huge smile covers Deacon's face. The good news he has been
waiting to give Justin Rage is finally here. He stops at the door and knocks
with authority. "Enter Deacon." a voice on the other side says. "We finally have
the lead we need." Deacon says as he hands Justin a folder. "We can finally
identify the Fury and nail him for good." Justin looks over the pictures of The
Fury's face from the elevator of the hotel and casino he was staying at. He then
looks at some other pictures of him going into the doctor's trailer. "What are
these pictures? Are they even the same man?" Justin asks as Jack looks allot
different in those pictures with the long hair, scruffy beard and soiled
clothes. "Yeah, the first set are from a casino in Atlantic City. The second set
is from some surveillance we did on that professor we had working for us."
Justin looks at one picture and then the other. Looking closely at the eyes and
the face, he can see they are the same person. "So you are telling me that the
Fury is some bum off the streets?" Deacon points to a series of pictures showing
him throwing the men in the elevator around. "Guess the professor finally
perfected it." Justin says as he looks at them with great interest. "That is
probably the reason he refused to make anymore drugs for us. He knew he could
make allot more with this." Deacon pulls out a small wooden box and hands it to
Justin Rage. "This is the last of his serum, at least we think it is the same
one. We pulled it from the professor's trailer after he was killed. I can have
the lab see if they can replicate it." Opening the box, he sees four vials of
liquid. He closes the box and puts it in his desk. "I will keep this for the
time being. But I need you to go and give these pictures to our guys. Have them
take them to the streets and see what we can find out. I want to find out who
this mystery man is and get him before he knows what hit him." Deacon nods and
collects the pictures and heads out the door. Justin then leans back in his
chair and says "Fury, now that I know why you are after me, I can now figure out
how to stop you."
