Nina was tied to the cold metal pole at the far end of the room, her wrists burning, her legs numb, her breathing shallow but steady.
She refused to cry, even though it was beginning to hurt like a sting.
Lance stood a few steps away, watching her like a problem he had already solved. His voice was calm, yet almost disappointed.
"You could have avoided all of this," he said. "You know that, right?"
Nina lifted her head and met his eyes with a glare… a glare that signified nothing but pure hatred and murderous intent.
"I would have let you go," Lance continued, pacing slowly. "All you had to do was tell us where Anna and the others were. That was it."
Nina suddenly responded with a low yet exasperating laugh, like she had just been entertained by a fool's joke.
"I know your kind. You would not have let me go. You would have used me, then killed me. You are a liar. A coward. A son of a bitch," she said, her eyes sharp as they locked onto his.
At that point, the room went quiet.
For a moment, Lance simply stared at her, licking his lips patiently. Then he smiled.
"At this point," he said calmly, "I will not even deny it. You are right."
He then stepped closer.
"I guess it's time to finish this up."
Lance grabbed her by the jacket and pulled hard, tearing it into halves in an instant. One side of her moderate melons revealed itself like a ripe cherry, and with the beautiful image before his face, he let out a wide smile.
With another pull, the rest of the jacket came off, and the whole melons became visible to the rest of the boys around.
Enjoying the show, they all burst into laughter.
"Oh, man… Look at that," Karen commented.
"So tempting, haha!"
Nina was just there, watching them tease her body. Her eyes were burning with rage, yet she was still unable to channel it into action, all because she was deprived of movement.
And surely, Lance wasn't done.
He soon got hold of her shorts, loosening the buttons slowly as he stared into her eyes. The molestation couldn't be any worse at this point.
Then, once the buttons were loosened, he pulled down the shorts, and a beautiful pink pant was revealed.
"Let me see… Let me see!"
Lance quickly forced her to turn so he could take a look at her ass.
And as soon as she turned, he went straight to pulling down the pants… and—
PA!
A light slap and a tight grab came right after.
"Whoa… soft like jelly. We haven't gotten anything like this for a while," Lance said, turning to Karen, who only nodded with a smile.
PA! PA!
Two more slaps, and Nina completely lost it.
"ARGHHHHHH!"
Her voice reverberated through the room, or perhaps the whole building, after that thunderous shout.
But that only added to the fun for Lance, as he laughed under his breath and continued regardless.
"Still fighting," he muttered. "Even now?"
"Come on, lady. It's clear that no one would come to save you. The world is too dead for people to engage in superhero missions…"
He then moved closer to whisper into her ear.
"You are so alone, fighter."
Nina growled again, her eyes burning with murder, all of it appearing to be in vain.
At that point, she was already becoming hopeless and helpless, and it was looking like this would be the end.
******
Ethan heard the screams from above as they walked over the stairway, making him flinch at once.
That voice was so familiar that they didn't even think twice before picking up their pace.
"That has to be Nina, no doubt," Gracie stated.
"She is in trouble," Anna panicked, a worried look already on her face.
All Ethan did was run, trailing where the voice had come from.
Thanks to the repeat of the scream, even though they knew she was in serious trouble, it still helped them locate the right point where she was.
Their rifles were filled with three rounds each, and they hoped it would be enough to face off against those bastards.
At this point, getting to Nina was the priority, even though they knew they would need to do more than just get to her.
Upon reaching the hallway, they spotted the gymnasium door right ahead of them. No one was in sight, but it still appeared like some lives existed there.
"Get your rifles loaded and set," he told Eva and Helen. "We might be getting straight into a deadly fight the moment we go through that door."
They both did as asked and moved forward, the rest following closely and smartly.
The moment they reached the entrance, Ethan hit the handle with the edge of the rifle and kicked hard against the door.
The gym room appeared before them, and as they dashed in, two guys were already in sight, and Ethan aimed right at them.
Eva and Helen joined almost immediately, and before they even attempted to raise their arms, they were already handicapped.
"Drop it…"
"Now!" Eva commanded.
"You heard her," Ethan added, and immediately, they dropped their weapons at once.
With a quick check, Ethan soon realized that Nina wasn't inside the room.
"I'll check the other room."
Ethan dashed toward the other door, leaving Eva and Helen to take control of the gym room.
Upon reaching the entrance, he slammed in like he was fighting against the door. Ethan never considered the risks that were attached to his aggressive approach.
All because he didn't want to lose it… you know…?
If he died in the process of protecting his d**k, then fine… so be it.
The very moment he entered the next room, what Ethan saw blew his mind.
Four men were facing a completely naked lady tied to a metal pole, all laughing and enjoying the acts of insanity.
His heart ached for a few seconds as he caught a glance at who was solely behind this.
One of them quickly tried to aim his gun at Ethan. However, Ethan was completely alert the whole time, as he aimed first and pulled the trigger.
Out of anger, there was a loud burst of gunshots.
DAK! DAK! DAK!
Ethan watched the young man die before his eyes, as he soon felt his hand trembling.
Anna, who had been following Ethan, soon walked in. She flinched the moment she spotted the scene.
And then… when she spotted the young man standing before Nina, her jaw dropped.
Lance, seeing her behind Ethan, almost felt like erupting.
"Anna?"
And with a low, breaking tone, Anna couldn't help but whisper in shock.
"Lance…"
