I woke up at dawn and I tried to stretch, but I noticed something.
I was tied up, how??
I struggled to free myself but the man that let me sleep in his spot last night appeared
"Good morning lad"
"I just knew you were gonna fetch a good price" He said chuckling.
Tf did he mean a good price??!
"Why did you tie me up?" I asked struggling to free myself,
"What other reason, to sell you and get money...and you fetched just about a fair price" He said smiling darkly.
"What??" I asked in shock and he showed me the money he got from selling me.
Wait....selling me???
I was already sold??
"Untie me!" I growled at him,
"No way, I'm gonna drive you all the way to Oakhem bar where you'll work for them....it's at the other side of the city" He said and gave that disgusting smile again.
I struggled even harder, it was no use.
How did I not even feel it when I was being tied up?
I sort to pleading.
"Please"
"I don't know anywhere in this city, I promise I'll do anything, please just untie me and let me go" I pleaded.
He turned to take a call and I looked around, looking for ways to cut the rope binding my hands and escape as fast as I could.
I found something, a small piece of roofing sheet. That should do it, I thought and tried to reach for it.
"Not so fast, boy" the man said and kicked me in the abdomen.
I doubled forward and coughed.
That was painful as hell.
He kicked me three more times and grabbed me by my hair and punched me in the face.
My vision doubled and I felt a warm liquid trailing down from my nose.
Blood...
He punched me again and again and I had to pretend I was unconscious so he could leave me or I could really go unconscious from his assault.
When he saw that I was unconscious, he dropped me to the ground and I landed with a thud and my head rang when it hit the floor and I had to stop myself from wincing.
"He's unconscious" he said to the phone he was holding and I slowly opened one eye to peek.
"Come get him already" He whined and then he hung up.
I was still monitoring him as he sat and lit a cigarette and put it into his mouth.
He puffed until the air was filled with stale smoke.
I tried not to cough from the smell and the next moment, there were two guys walking towards us and I closed my eyes immediately and continued pretending to be unconscious.
"There he is" the man said to the other two men and they looked my way.
"He looks too lean" one of them commented
"Oh I'm sure he'll be able to work" the man assured them.
Were they bargaining for me???
I had to escape sooner or later.
"Well then, we'll take em" they said and exchanged handshakes and walked over to me and lifted me up with ease.
They had already given the man money for me and one sick side of me wanted to know how much I was sold for...to know how much I was worth.
It wouldn't be much anyway.
I made sure not to move so they wouldn't find out that I wasn't unconscious as I discreetly monitored where they were taking me to.
